Hi! I'm Hazel. I make WoW and other gaming videos covering news, tips, boss guides and more! I also post stream highlights and VoDs from my Twitch channel here. I'm a 28 year old full time creator and my pronouns are she/her.
QUESTION: Can you continue to earn Traders tender after completing the monthly objective in your adventure tab? Want to be able to buy more from the vendor each month, but will not pay real money for it. Maybe Blizzard could change this in the future.
I followed this guide today and it was so much fun. I t was a blast to use the Open All function on the mail and see all that rapid fire leveling. Thanks for a great guide.
I agree about the early access for people who $$$ being kinda dumb. BUT... there's something way cooler about the fact that you ground out the tokens to do it. THAT makes it respectable, you earned it rather than just pissed away some money to be granted awesomeness. I like it..! And money saved for something else!
I bought the epic edition for the month and cosmetics. Totally against the head start. I’d rather they just apologize and give another cosmetic to epic edition or refund to heroic and let everyone play. I agree 100% hazel.
I agree with you on the paid early access, it might help make the launches smoother though at least. Though, its been a while since I played the actual launch of an expansion, so idk how those have been lately.
Don't forget that for the level 70 in two hours you need to have your cloak at level 11 with you main. Otherwise you might not reach 70 when getting the XP from your mailbox. If your cloak is not at level 11, try to do what NUTZJ98 recommended, that is get to 45 first
I agree with you on the early access. It's all about money, the whole game is anymore, not about making a fun game for folks who have played forever and for new folks but greed. It also lets those who do it suss out the best glitches and cheats they can do to get ahead quickly as usual.
Leveling the alts did get slightly better. If you pick up the quests and hand them in when you reach 69 or 70, and all the achievements and "one time a day" rewards from doing dungeons now double. Sure it's not completely doubled, but you might get 5-10k bronze now than what you did before the change. Not huge, but not small either.
Yeah, those affixes, as a Warrior main, the bleed is probably the only thing I would have any advantage on, which seems negligible. It's possible that's the point is the affixes are just an inconvenience so the average player doesn't feel discouraged.
Early Access to game is mostly related to what you suspect: undiscovered issues. On top of that, if they spread over time the amount of players doing the same stuff, then they avoid having to allocate enormous computational resources at once. IT resources management and troubleshooting on-the-fly. Money comes with that, naturally
I am voting with my wallet. No TWW at all. I wont be playing. I am not giving them money and rewarding them for that scummy move. I am going to go back to my drums where i should be and focus on them. So no more wasted time on paid for dopamine hits at the RNG casino. I think it will be good for my health as well. I am giving WoW a break for while. A long while. Might come back in the future but it wont be thsi xpac for sure. I did not play MoP due to burnout. I did not play Legion either. I played every expansion since BfA launch till i get burned out which is not very long at al. Couple of months at the most. Playing WoW is like a freaking job. Work. And ou dont even get paid doign it. You are paying them. Not this time mate You cant get ahead in power. BUt you cant get ahead of others in many others ways and most ways matter in this game as things like AH prices are determined by who can corner the market first. Profs points will be disabled. No mention of actualy levelign the profs with points. I will assume that regular prof points will rise but no the special ones. Meaning those people will be miles ahead. The forums is filled with people who have their heads so far up their you know what they are in total denial about this advantage or cant even admit it in fear of losing it. The fact that people in EA are getting an advantage is clear to every one bar those on the fourms like Puny and other no lifers like Tah.
I just see it as having a different big day than anyone who didnt buy the early access. They get their big day and I get mine and if folks dont buy the early access thats just on them, they cant really complain that we do get the early access. You pay you play iygwim.
I’m unsure how I feel about the affixes. Blizz’s intent is to reduce the amount of extra stuff that can be done by only some classes and make the dungeons feel more uniform, but until we do them, I don’t know whether I’ll like them or not. Even though I bought Epic edition, I’m not a fan of early access.
Lets just wait and see, if the numbers of the sales of the epic edition go up by a lot compared to the older expansions, that means the 3 days could be a factor of it, but if its in a margin of the old ones, then it will probably wont be there anymore in midnight.
People are absolutely going to want to stack certain classes in high keys because of those affixes. It's going to suck if you're not the "class of the week."
I don't like the politics about their addons either. For the first time, I wait for the first sale and join then the new content. I don't want to spend every yeah 100 bucks or more for this.
As someone who is max ilvl and 150k+ threads on my main in remix, I am happy they made this change. It makes playing alts more fun now, instead of them being insanely behind everyone now.
What I hate about the bronze change - I *knew* they'd do something like that. I knew I could farm bronze later, instead of getting to 476 week ago. But I was not 100% confident the community would be here if they made these changes 70 days in. Could I still do mythic SoO in entirely abandoned mode? Would anyone even do hc raids with people who weren't maxed then? Probably some, but didn't want to take that risk. Shame that it's always the same, knowing Blizz might fix something, or maybe not. Just the same with Karokta mount farm in first week of 10.1. Go thru it with gazillion of alts per day, or risk them not buffing droprate? Either I get it in few months, or I never will when groups stop popping. You never know if they do the necessary nerf in 2 days or 10 years.
Actually, 2h leveling alts for Bronze is still very strong, because every one of the raid bosses you kill for teh XP tokens also drops a bronze cache, and there are also teh 2 dailies you take along teh way, that adds up to roughly another 15k bronze, so now you´re getting ~90-100 k in teh same 2h you needed before for 75-80 🍻
