Had some Firelands fun this weekend. Nothing big, just a clear for some transmog.
I've been slow on mentioning it, but the drought got some relief a couple of weeks ago on the PTR.
We are getting new time walking dungeons from Cataclysm, which to be fair is probably the last expansion that I ran dungeons in after I got past the point where I didn't have to. They are also expanding the dungeons we are running from Wrath and Burning Crusade as well. Pretty cool stuff.
We are getting Valor points back. Instead of capping how many you can have, they are capping how many you can earn. Meaning, you will run out of stuff to do to get some Valor love because you simply won't get them from EVERYTHING. We will be able to use these valor to upgrade item levels again, and they are also making it possible for all your Tanaan Jungle gear to level up to 716 I believe it was... Anyway. This will give folks a boost to finish the raids they are working on, and maybe even step up a level higher.
Speaking of raiding, so much rage over a moose. I mean, Ghost Crawler promised us a moose right?
Well, he lied. In order to get this moose you must finish Hellfire Citadel on Heroic or Mythic before the next expansion drops. With it being shoved into the game at this point, without warning and later in this raid cycle this has folks blowing their tops. Partially because a lot of people don't think they can finish Hellfire Citadel on Heroic+, but because the time is limited on this mount so you won't be able to go back and get it if you don't finish Hellfire while it's current. People feel entitled to a chance at anything added into the game. To be honest, everyone has that chance for this if they can put in the time and effort. I don't expect to get it, but I'm not putting much effort myself towards this at the moment since my focus is elsewhere right now. I won't lie, If I get a chance to make a run for it I will, but I'm not sure when I'd find that chance right now.
But I'm not upset or bitter. Sometimes there are cool mounts that you don't have time or focus to earn. I don't begrudge Blizzard this new carrot on a stick. The mount does look freaking cool though....
If you are curious you can look up the latest PTR build. Many things coming.
Now I will ask, what do you think will drop at Blizzcon this year that might surprise us?
There is the big push in eSports, but other then that we know most of what is happening. Legion has been announced, Starcrafts new expansion is dropping already, Diablo has been a little quiet but it might be a little early for another expansion there (I could be wrong) so what do we think will be the big surprise announcement?
I personally would love to see another annual pass. My suspicion is that we won't however. I wonder if they found that the folks who signed up for that where those who would have just played Wow without cancelling subscription anyway. Or if there was enough negative press that it made Blizzard decide it wasn't work trying again. Either way that seems like a one time deal at this point.
But man, if they announced that those who signed up for one would get Overwatch for free and a themed in game mount... I would be on that train. But I of course probably won't unsubscribe during this time either.
Anyway, that's my rambling for this week.
