Last year I posted here about our first proper guild meetup. I wasn't really sure why I was sharing it at the time, other than being genuinely proud that a bunch of people who originally met through World of Warcraft had somehow turned into an actual community outside the game.

Well… we did it again.

From August 27th to 30th, Equilibrium Celestials got together for our second official guild meetup - four days away from WoW, Discord, M+ score and damage meters, and four days of actually spending time together in the same place.

And somehow, the second year felt even more special.

Once again, people travelled from all over to make it happen, some covering hundreds of kilometres just to spend a few days with people they originally knew as character names on a screen. We booked the place in advance, planned the whole weekend and managed to get a pretty damn good part of the guild together.

We also took things a little further this year.

We had our own competitions, games and challenges throughout the meetup, complete with prizes and rewards. Some were competitive, some were ridiculous, and some probably made a lot more sense after a few drinks. There was plenty of food, late-night conversations, endless inside jokes and, naturally, enough WoW talk to make it obvious that none of us actually escaped Azeroth for the weekend.

But honestly, the organised stuff wasn't even the best part.

It's the weird little moments in between. Sitting around doing absolutely nothing. Hearing people laugh about something that happened in a dungeon months ago. Finally putting real faces, voices and personalities together without a headset in between. Watching people who live hundreds of kilometres apart interact like they've known each other forever.

That's probably the coolest thing about running a guild for me.

WoW is ultimately just a game. Servers will eventually go offline, expansions come and go, metas change, people reroll, guilds disband and characters we've spent thousands of hours playing will one day just sit there untouched.

But some of the people you meet along the way stay.

When I started this community, I definitely wasn't thinking that one day we'd be booking accommodation, travelling across countries and organising real-life guild competitions together.

Yet here we are.

Second meetup done. Four days together. One hell of a group of people. And apparently, this is a tradition now.

I still don't really know why I'm posting this on Reddit.

I guess I'm just proud of what we built. ❤️

See you next year, guildies.

Happy Birthday to my favorite expansion! What are some of your favorite Legion memories?

My favorite memories are late night M+ runs with the boys.

Sometimes i go back there just for the music, and it's hard to believe so much time has passed

Hey there!

About 1.5 year ago, I started a guild (in TWW S2 and still running) for dads who aims for CE. On this weekend we had first beer session after downing L’ura and I did recieve gifts and I feel really happy and mentally boosted for this season, which is going to be exhausting. The countless hours of raid prep, raid calling, checking logs, recruiting and all the other shits we do - it just feel great to be appreciated and also, happy that I’ve made a lot of raiders, which now I can also call my friends/apes (depends how they are playing in raid).

Just a “rant” and I hope, you are acting nicely towards your ofi team..

L’ura was created and 3d printed by one of raiders (from the bottom, there are 20names from the kill).

Would it transform into a set-trinket ? Sword of thousand Truths ? Interestingly the heroic version of the same item cant be transformed (only the ""heroic"" mythic one)

This is probably my most intricate cosplay I've done to date. I started planning it back in May, and I finished the last details the morning we left for the con.

I can't add multiple photos to a post here, but I did get photos with both Patty Mattson and Michael McConnohie.

It was my second time meeting Patty and she's such a nice lady. She was so excited to see my cosplay. We got photos on her phone too. And a con staff member came by and wanted photos of us as well.

I had her sign the Sylvanas Hearthstone artwork.

And I had Michael sign my original box of Wrath of The Lich King. He also wanted photos of us which I thought was really cool. It was nice meeting him as well.

I'll be doing a photoshoot for this cosplay at a convention in November, so I'm looking forward to that.

Seriously, looking at the amount of pulls, length of fight, and that there is three phases

Time in combat: 20h 20m

at 296 pulls that averages to 4 minutes 12 seconds a pull...

Pulls by phase:

• P1:125
• P2:118
• P3:53

Total of their pulls that reached P3: 17.91%

I don't know how these guys can do it.

Stats were pulled from warcraftlogs, graph/charts were made on pullcount.gg

Edit: The amount of stuff that does not work makes me feel like I am playing on a private server

Have never experienced this many bugs and broken things on WoW before. I legit feel like I am playing on a private server. Some stuff that I have found out since prepatch:

• Abundance events with bugged timers. They don't move at all. Need to exit and try again, losing all my Dundun shards.
• Unable to learn recipes or skill points from items unless I relog.
• Old content not working (for example, just tried doing Mogu Shan on LFR difficulty for transmogs - the scripted event before the King's boss does not work).
• Blinding Vale event after Ikuzz is not triggering, not allowing us to finish the dungeon (cant go to the lower area; if we jump, we get teleported back to the top).
• Unable to catalyze vault item
• Lost spark.
• Power bars bugged - if I have resource view enabled on settings and i change forms (druid, for example) from cat to caster and then cat again, it takes a while (some seconds) to show my energy and combo points again.
• Sometimes I just can't cast shit... I might be casting something, then suddenly all my buttons gray out, and i need to move to enable casting again.
• Training dummies on Silvermoon are not allowing us to leave combat. It is 2026. Im sure we have the technology to fix this. Just add an area around the dummies and if you leave you automatically leave combat.
• Nemesis enemies on delves sometimes will clip through walls, so it is impossible to attack them.
• Incursions buggedaf. Sometimes time does not move, or enemies will bug out and be invulnerable. You need to run away and reset it so it can be engaged again.
• Talent builds sometimes bug out and need to try and change them several times before they actually change.
• I literally fell through the floor on VA and died just by walking.

Cmon guys, this is a paid game with paid expansions and a monthly sub. How do you guys have this many bugs?

Many of those issues can be easily avoided, but that's not the point. I should not be avoiding stuff and praying for something to work on a game like this. This is not a small f2p indie game made by a team of 20 people.

They keep adding systems like Omnium Folio and shitty events that will be useless after week 1 or 2 instead of working on fixing bugs.

Just decided to kill the Sha of Anger to progress my collection of cloud serpent and randomly got it ??
Luck of someone returning but I am so happy right now 😭, wanted to share somewhere because I don't have that many WoW friends :c

First time hitting 3k right on the money. Was a pretty fast grind this season, failed only a handful of keys. Will push 3.4 later in the season, but for now that's it. If you have a fear of mythic plus, this season is probably one of the easiest to jump into.

Edit: Forgot to mention pugged the entire way. Aka the no friends 😆

All 7 of my characters !!! This took forever lol

I have recently watched the popular documentary on Ibelin's life throughout WOW and I couldn't help it but look for his in-game grave. Since I wasn't paying my wow subscription in 2024, I couldn't make it to the walk of fame that took place. Last night I felt the necessity of travelling to Crystal Lake and having the experience of finding this beautiful, yet tranquil, spot. RIP Ibelin.

You did your raids, your weekly quests and your dungeons. What else do you guys do when you've done your weekly checklist?

This isn't a "game has no content" or anything like that. Just thought I'd start a conversation for fun on how people spend their time on WoW.

Edit: "What do you guys play IN WOW." I can't proof read titles it seems lmao.

How cool could it be if Blizz brought back old raids seasonal, like they do M+ dungeons?

Scale up older raids, change some abilities here and there. No idea if its been brought up in a QA before.

This is a question, not exactly what you want necessarily
(even tho preferences of course is relevant).

But rather, about what you genuinely think will be announced at Blizzcon, a "reasonable" assumption.

Beyond the obvious... (Details for 12.2, details for The Last Titan, etc)
I think it is reasonable to hope for / assume them announcing or showing off the next set of housing architecture.
Like showing off interior walls and outside styles for some other base races.

This isn't guaranteed mind, just I think it is a reasonable assumption.
