Tuesday was pretty good. We went in and tried Kargath on Heroic and got eaten. We managed to get his life low enough to feel good but never quite took him out. Instead we moved on after an hour or so to down a few bosses for Loot. We only managed three, but it was better then a wasted night.
Wednesday we went back into Blackforge and still only got down Gruul. We had some issues fighting him that felt like things just weren't syncing up very well. We finally got him down, but not in enough time to do much else. That means we ended the night right there.
But enough talk about raiding. 6.1 is dropping right quick and what do you need to know about it? Not much. It isn't changing the landscape much other then some nice UI updates and a few tweaks here and there, and that is fine. Not every named patch needs to be absolutly awesome. Sometimes we just need the little quality of life tweaks that are given. This one will include....
Heirloom tab. As an altoholic I fully approve of this. This means no more trying to remember which character has was heirloom on them or where they went. You simply click and summon the heirloom for you nooby toon, and then delete it when you done. If you have one level 100 warlock and want an army of 49 more warlocks on your account, no problem. You can roll them all and then summon some heirloom threads for all. Also, if you get enough heirlooms (I believe it's 35) you get a lowbie mount called the chauffered chopper. You get to ride in the sidecar and let someone else drive you around.
Male blood elves. OK, old bad joke that is still somewhat relavent. Seriously though, your blood elves are getting a visual work up. I don't think it's going to be an insanely big change but it will be there. Don't worry, your laughs and voices are staying the same...
Selfies and Tweets. Yes, for you superficial folks that have to show off your characters and achievements to everyone you can now take a shot and tweet from in game. I won't lie. I am one of the folks that think the whole idea of selfies in real life is absolutly stupid, and finding them in game doesn't excite me. I mean, aren't you excited for your non-gamer friends to lift an eyebrow at your pixalated glory?
Legendary follower. Yes, we can get closer to our legendary rings and we can earn a legendary follower. Most people know who this is by now, if you don't I won't spoil it for you. Needless to say this one I think is a nice touch and I'm excited for.
Daily Garrison quest. You can run a dungeon or do a quest for a chance at 640-665 gear. This is a cool way to gear your alt slowly, or get some more chances for loot. It might actually get folks out of their garrison a little.
Speaking of garrisons, they are changing the UI up a little with improvements to identify what followers fit what quest better etc... Also, your followers will now be counted when working at your buildings only if they are present during a work order. No more assigning them for pick up, or drop off then pulling them for quests. On the bright side they will now get experience while doing this so they can grind their way to epic while mining your ore.
Flying. Ok, that was mean of me. It doesn't look like we are getting flying yet. I don't mind not flying per se, but I do miss it. I look forward to getting it and further exploring Draenor. In other words, Num Lock, fly forward while sneaking a snack, then coming back to say wow! That is a neat cliff I'm face planted in!
And much more. You can look up the patch notes to see what I've missed.
So what are you excited for in 6.1?
