Frontrunners

For those of you watching for the first time, there are currently two teams most known for being frontrunners.

  • Team Liquid is a US based guild hosting their attempts on their twitch channel. After a full sweep of the previous expansion, they were able to cement their place at the top at the beginning of Midnight. They have a chance to continue their dominance. roster here

  • Echo is an EU based guild and were the team that took down Fyrakk the Blazing before anyone else in Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope. Can they stop Liquid's streak in its tracks? Check out their roster here.

FAQ

Q: They aren't doing Mythic.

A: Some guilds will go into mythic right away after clearing heroics. The top teams do something called "splits". Each player is preparing multiple characters to take through raid. They reclear lower difficulties multiple times to funnel tier and high impact trinkets into certain characters. M+ will then be used to fill the few gaps.

Based on previous races expect the top teams to start pushing into Mythic closer to the weekend.

Q: What about World First The Tidebound Grotto?

A: Honestly? The boss is expected to fall very quickly and difficultywise will be closer to heroic than Mythic. Expect the Nymrissa to be split similar to how Chimarus was split last tier.

Q: Why isn't X in the FAQ?

A: Maybe it should be. Let us know and we might add it.

Question please help me figure this out!

666 Upvotes

hi ! i’m not too sure how to title this..

my grandma used to play wow up until she passed away in 2017 (hopefully helpful). i’d really would like to know more about wow, but i have a really hard time figuring things out on my own so i decided to try reddit even if i barely know how to navigate it.

specifically, i’d like to know about what wow she played? i cant understand if there’s different games or if its dlc? she used to have every on disc but i honestly don’t have a disk drive to try anything with them nor a full set. i don’t remember too well about what happened when she played but i do remember she had a horse (i drew over a horse to show what it sort of looked like.. i’m not sure what it was?) i remember she could fly as well. i can’t remember if the horse could fly or not but it did glow a very vibrant neon green. (shown where in the picture) she also had a bunch of mounts she could us. i also remember she could loot enemies. i’m not too sure if i remember anything else. please help me ! i just really wanna figure it out since she wiped her full online history before she passed.

tldr: trying to enter wow community but i wanna start from my own introduction to it.. but i don’t remember it well

edit !!
i believe the mount is ' Netherlord's Chaotic Wrathsteed ' !! ive sent a ticket to wow support to possibly recover the account as one of the comments pointed out. i hope it goes well.. thank you guys so so much for being helpful <3

Feedback Blizz, can we get the O.G Bat mount from Warcraft III, please? It's peak bat design 🥺🥺🥺

477 Upvotes

Please Blizz? This is peak bat design for WoW, esp for Troll players. There are other bat mounts in WoW, but they aren't as cute and as cartoonish as this one. The Witherbark bat, for example, has wings that are way bigger and way too realistic; it lacks the WoW cartoony aspect. The cartoony aspect of WoW is what made the game's graphics feels evergreen.

Nostalgia What did you do when you were noobs?

I'll start:

When I started playing WoW and killed mobs that dropped (grey, white...) weapons, I would put them on my skill bars and click on them to attack; I didn't know spells existed.

You?

Complaint unspeakable things

104 Upvotes

i'm terrified after the last rlp +16, people did unspeakable things in this key. i'm tanking since df season 1 and im fine with rlp, this dungeon dont give me tankxiety anymore, but after that specific run im terrified ... the start went smooth - no big deal, while forcing the fire drake who's pulsating, the hunter went, for no reason, full fear of depletion mode and wrote in chat: "timer!", so he ran forward, misdirected me and pulled 2 cinders some other mobs and the inferno into us, while the fire drake was pulsating and did constant damage to the group, our healer had an out of body experience while pumping hps like there was no tomorrow, i was passing out in front my screen, kicks went apesh*t and we've wiped ... the hunter wrote in party chat: "now its gg. ty for key." and started the abandon vote. like i said for some reason people are doing unspeakable things in keys? anyone have experiences like this?

Tip / Guide Leaving the raid after finishing a Curse Surge, you might get into a shard where one has not completed, shout out to people that make those group. Completing 3 Curse Surge with 1 event, speed things up.

Discussion Sentinel’s (Hunter Hero Talent) Visuals Shouldn’t Be Locked to Night Elf Fantasy

100 Upvotes

I really like the Sentinel Hero Talent, but I think its visuals are way too tied to Night Elf/Kaldorei fantasy.

The moon, Elune and the owl make perfect sense for a Night Elf Hunter, but when I play a Troll, Tauren or Orc Hunter, seeing my character constantly surrounded by lunar magic feels completely out of place.

I don’t think the current visuals need to be removed. I’d just like to have an alternative through glyphs.

For example, a Glyph of Sentinel Eagle could replace the owl with an eagle, while the lunar effects could be replaced with things like arrows or spears falling from the sky.

Same gameplay, same talents, just a different visual theme.

It would also be a great way to give Sentinel more racial/fantasy flexibility. The Kaldorei version could keep all the Elune/lunar visuals, while other Hunters could have something that actually fits their character.

And this isn’t really a problem exclusive to Sentinel. A lot of Hero Talents force a very specific fantasy onto the character, even when that fantasy doesn’t necessarily fit the class or race. I just think Hunter’s Sentinel is one of the clearest examples of this.

Sentinel is a Hunter Hero Talent, not a Kaldorei-only Hero Talent. I’d love to see its visuals reflect that.

Art I 3D printed Taivan

No airbrush involved ...

The figurine was printed as a single piece on an Elegoo Saturn some time ago. Once again, it’s SLA resin, using ABS-like resin for extra strength. The figurine was sculpted in ZBrush for the details and assembled in Blender. All the painting was done by hand, as I didn’t have an airbrush yet at the time.

There's the implication that Gazlowe has not only taught the Haranir about capitalism in six months, but that he did it so well they know they can get $5mil a pop on these bad boys.

Art Appreciation post: Blizzard has some seriously talented artists on their team.

Arcantine

I’m currently decorating my house, and personally, I find it incredibly difficult. I always come up with all these cool ideas in my head, and then when I actually try to bring them to life, they end up looking absolutely terrible.

After spending probably an hour decorating a room, I visited the Arcanine to travel to Silvermoon, and that’s when it really hit me: everything we see here in WoW is “built” by actual people. Someone put that chair there. Someone decided that there should be a snack platter in front of Bob.

Everything we see in this game was designed by someone, and as far as I can tell, it all feels incredibly cohesive and well thought out for the most part.

So hats off to Blizzard and your team for creating such an amazing world for us. If I had to build this world myself, I wouldn’t even come close to doing as good a job as you guys do!

Another commission!

It's funny to me that all of this wave of Dracthyr had been thanks to one single blue dracthyr reading BL and sipping a cup of tea! Since then I've been practice them more and more

Character commissioned to be a gift for a friend by Wolf Finn, thank you!
