The State of Mop Remix 

please don't ever buy a new camera, this is perfection

Speed should be uncapped, You can convert you timerunner after the remix is over. And the point of remix is stuff like tinker and meta gems otherwise it would just be back the rpg times of no lvlscaling and your abilitys do better with gear, If you could inifinatly upgrade ur gear Ilvl and then maybe have your chaosbolts or class abilitys hitting like a truck would be cool but with lvl scaling your still forever going to feel weak unless you farm shitloads of threads. And agreed as dps or healer i've just gotta run through the whole dungeon because someone else is flying through 1 hitting everything. Great video glad I found you and eager to watch more of your content.

Good ideas. I've been playing a protection paladin and kind of feel like it's annoying that Mark of Arrogance deals more of my damage than my Shield spells. Tanking is starting to feel pointless because the DPS often zooms through and kills things before I can get there. I've started replacing all my gems with speed gems to try (in vain) to keep up with the group.

Remix is just a bookmark to give everyone something to do in the interim.

If they ever do this again they should do literally everything you said lol. You read my mind. 💯

Wish they would just apply the cost reduction for upgrading account wide. Maybe not as much. Feels like ass playing on alts

Oof. My DH catching strays up in here. They desperately need to reduce upgrade costs on alts. If I upgraded on one character it should be the same reduced cost on an alt. This would dramatically help things I think.

im just trying to get all the garrosh heirlooms before the event ends.

I think its nice that overplaying a game mode no one cares about and most people only use as a fast way to lvl alts, makes you feel so powerful and enjoy the mode - it ends up you boosting other people for free, i think thats a nice thing.

With timerunner's mastery you can get max ilvl in a week if you run all the raids/dailies. It still sucks at 70 and suffering until ilvl400.

I love the fonts you use!

[Just gonna look past the fact that it took 5 minutes out of a 16 minute video to get to anything resembling a point. That said, kudos, the last 11 minutes were jam packed with points being made.] "Siege of orgrimmar is not as worth doing as throne of thunder" They... aren't mutually exclusive...? You can do both. You can't do throne multiple times a day. One normal or heroic per day. If you do that, and you still want to gain bronze or just play, well there ya go. Siege is worth doing. Something has to be the best, and dark animus fully justifies that being ToT. "The searing light/lifestorm thing is boring" Again, okay? "Something has to be the best." Thundering orb is still higher value on some fights - spoils, especially. Funeral pyre has higher value for longer fights. Precipice had its moment of glory in early dark animus kills. Ward was broken AF, especially in combination with lifestorm. Chiji one is useless and genuinely horrible and terribly convoluted and a design embarassment. Soul tether doesn't even seem to work, and becomes increasingly redundant, but it is an interesting idea. Locus of Power is actually kinda nutty, it's just become redundant with cloak stats. It had its moment. I've checked wowhead for the list, and apparently there's something called "Morphing Elements" that does elemental damage? I... I have no idea. Maybe it didn't make it to live. Maybe it's in my bank... never noticed it, tbh. [Further investigation... definitely didn't make it to live.] Oblivion sphere has higher value for undergeared characters being carried. All of it's redundant, of course. If you max your gear, you could just not use meta gems, or even tinkers, and you'd still be more than capable of killing bosses. It'd just take longer. They'd still pose very little to no threat. Final note on meta gems... Lifestorms way more interesting than most of them - because most of them are boring af. There's "skill" expression to it, which the others lack. There's tricks you can [could] use to optimize it's value. "This gamemode is very skewed towards melee characters" Uh, I guess? Fire mage and spriest are both super strong. Hunters are living their best life... Warlocks had/have the broken scaling of their doomguard. But yeah, ultimately, in a gamemode with unlimited power... melee are gonna win out, just because of instant casts. You know what its even more skewed towards? Demon hunters. Not because of their damage, not because of being in melee range or stacked or any of that nonsense. Because of their significant speed advantage. [My bad, you mentioned this. I'm going to leave it anyway.] That being said, I'm not so sure they are relatively faster. Demon hunters are stupidly fast compared to other classes in regular gamemode too. Triple jump, hunt, mastery, immo aura giving movement speed, felrush/demonic leap... they have a crapload of movement speed. Enough, really. The other classes benefit more from all the movement speed. My DK is so damn fast, swapping boots out for cogwheels and having 49% speed stat. "If your not playing a demon hunter, it feels bad, because you could be playing a demon hunter" I get what you are saying, but this is always true. Every time a DH uses the hunt to charge 100 yards, or uses demonic leap b2b, or triple jumps, vengeful retreats, and double fel rushes to cross a canyon in a flightless zone... the same argument applies. Fortunately this is combatted by a complete lack of interest in the class. If someone likes DHs, great, they can play it. Not exactly the most engaging of specs, though. [Havoc, not vengeance. Tanks and healers shouldn't exist anymore in this gamemode] The point about the cape I'll give you. That's fair. The scaling side of it is the same as retail though. I guarantee you my level 11 warrior twink is stronger [and significantly faster, 190% movement speed] than any character between 30 and 69. "Transfer alts between alts" You kinda can. I agree overall, though. You can buy gems and have them traded to your alts for a ~7:1 bronze conversion rate. Bronze should really just be an accountwide resource though. Wouldn't help with the "artifact" problem - I call it this, because it's the exact same situation as legion legendaries. Every bit of artifact power you gained on an alt, or used for a different spec, was less power gained for your main class, your main spec. Same with the cape threads. Same response, too. There's a point at which the value of upgrading your main's artifact/cape becomes redundant. If you have 100k stam, 20k primary stat, 30k secondaries... you are strong enough. There's nothing in the game that should be able to [consistently] kill you, bugs and 1shot [Sha of fear] mechanics aside. Cross faction restrictions... Yes. Again, though, this is a retail problem not a remix problem. Same with scaling, for that matter. Nope, wait, started responding too early. You're wrong. There's the exact same restrictions. You can't do any queued content [dungeons, scenarios, LFR] cross faction. Its stupid, yes. It should be [and supposedly is being] removed, but it's not a remix thing. It's a wow thing. A retail thing. Role queue removal... uhh, nope. Most people? Fuck no. FUCK no. Most people queue as a DPS, and only a DPS. That's why tank and healer queues are so much shorter despite their being less spots AND the fact that tanks and healers are entirely pointless in this gamemode, at this point. There should be a solo option maybe, but honestly it's a lot of effort for something so small. It's literally only dungeons that you need to change specs for. You wanna queue as a tank for LFR but dps? That's fine, it doesn't change your spec. Only dungeon queues do. I get where you're coming from, chuck vindication on any DPS and they are effectively a healer, be geared enough and you can tank anything [although threat can be a "problem"] buuut what's the answer there? "Oh you're a warlock, you can only DPS, but we'll let you queue as a healer because 'some' warlocks run vindication and 'some' of them have upgraded their gear. What's that, you aren't running any healer gems? You just queued as a lvl 66 warlock with lvl 30 greens into a group of similarly screwed socials? Guess this solution has its flaws" "Convert to standard character" I mean, eventually, yeah? They've said that's the intent anyway. They get converted to, presumably, boosties. Being able to do it early sounds great on paper, but then it just floods the maingame with easily levelled characters. Doesn't sound like a problem? Then you're not thinking about it enough. You wanna do mog farming? Go do it. Surely you've got other characters. If not, remember when people were complaining about how levelling "isn't faster than retail"? Well retail wasn't slowed down to fix that. Go level characters for the gamemode you want to use them for... "Nerf tinkers, buff players" I mean... maybe play a different spec? Unholy still has plenty of it's damage being its own damage. You still have to use your abilities to get the most value out of your tinkers [not 'any' value], but if I afk autoswing I do about 2m dps. If I do my rotation, I do about 10m DPS. Is that 8m increase 100% from my abilities? Absolutely not... but it's from me pressing them. Other classes have to use everything in their toolkit to even remotely keep up with DHs. Yup. DHs don't really need to further their speed then, do they? Whereas the other classes, who aren't designed as speed demons, get all this increased value from speed and from cogwheels that, yes, benefits DHs too... but significantly less. Also, "something has to be the best" Playing an unholy DK with blink, heroic leap, sprint, disengage [though I'm not particularly great with that one personally], spirit walk, or even just trailblazer feels so much better than being a speedy DH. If I wanted to feel faster because I'm playing a DH, I'd be better off in retail. Naturally occurring diminishing returns. There's a point where any increase becomes, effectively, redundant. DHs are naturally much closer to that point than any other class when it comes to speed. TL:DR Of all the ideas, these are some of them...

Good stuff man A quick suggestion - maybe add in some background music relevant to WOW i.e. barrens background music maybe?

I quit mop remix now. Had a blast playing but there are many issues that have been glaring obvious since the start or were patched in later through god awful tunig (cause ilvl 342 ppl kept nagging) and I'm kinda done with it My cape on my main is 35k main stat. I have everything purchasable for bronze. I even swapped out my entire gear for avoidance since my secondary stats are all over the cap from the cape alone. My gems are now only armor gems. I can solo throne of thunder in under half an hour on heroic. I even have 8 stacks of bones of mannaroth leftover. I'd love to keep going up to 100k mainstat on my cloak. Unfortunately the recent buff killed remix for me. Why exactly? It's because they killed every single type of content except for raids in terms of bronze, while making all sources of thread except the thunder trove irrelevant. It's such clumsy tuning. Instead of buffing every source they only buffed very specific sources. The timless isle is irrelevant. Don't even get me started on world bosses. I called out this issues 4 weeks ago. Just reduce the spawn times to a few minutes and give them a shield that reduces damage received by 90% and ticks down by 1% every second. Then they would be atleast alive for half a minute. For example Nalak spawns, I'm at the summoning stone for throne, summoning people, I cast a ranged attack on nalak and he is dead before I can hit. In literally 3 seconds. However, the real number 1 stinker of remix is what? Alts. Alts are worthless. I leveled up multiple alts and dropped them immediately upon reaching lvl 70. Why not make the cloak global like advertised? Instead of unlocking the full power on lvl 10, how about gaining a fraction of each level until you reach max level? I keep playng my main because my alts are horrible. Their gear is horrible, their cloak is even worse. Remove Role Que, 100% I'm always queing as a tank, only to swap to dps spec in the first second. I was lucky on accident and picked dh for this event. The movement speed makes it so much more fun. Whats a mount? I'll just walk. Since it's my main I can also say, it's not that skewed to melee. Other people with similar cloaks, as rare as they are, can do more dps. Warlocks, Mages and Druids actually have abilities that deal damage. My DH does only gem damage. None of my abilities matter at all and mark of arrogance ONLY works if you have aggro. I usually get it since my cloak is the highest in my raids but the second somebody plays a tank spec he gets that mark of arrogance.

I mean it is a mode created to just have dumb fun and do what ever you want and get as crazy strong as you could, as of now everything is stupid easy to get Like making all the content trivial at a certain point was the point of the event just give dumb power to the player

lol that DH is haulin ass :P

MoP Remix isnt made for your enteraintment, MoP was the expension with the most bugs till the end of its cycle, most bugs where consistant till now. MoP Remix is Snowstorms way of a Public Bug testing. They give away these huge power items so a lot of people can get thru as much content of MoP as possible. They just want the bug reports and data for when MoP Classic launches. And as a reward for participating you allowed to buy transmog, mounts and transfer your toon to retail. That is all that is to it, end of story.

Hey man. I dont know u and I dont want to insult you in any way but consider my thoughts on your video: 1. I watched ur whole video. I learned something from your point of view. That was nice. 2. If you really wanna go down that route, consider upgrading your video quality game. Your video quality is really not that great, maybe save some money for better video-equippment as your next goal? 3. (very important - and I am sorry to say) You radiate strong neckbeard vibes with your appearance. I know that sounds really unfair but remember you can work on your performance and your appearance to become even better at recording. Remember this is just the opinion of a stranger. Please Ignore me if you disagree and if you are content with yourself. I really think you would cut the edge and upgrade your RU-vid-Stats with a bit more self-esteem (Also consider writing a script beforehand and practise your script), better quality videos and an improved appearance (atleast nicer clothes, remember Clothes make the man) Peace and respect from germany. GL on your way man.

Great video and informative. Wear a different shirt. I almost skipped the video
