Also FF14’s new raid has a new map shown in a cutscene, and it’s a map we haven’t seen before so possibly a tease for next expansion.

It’s the desert Dalmasca based on FF12 (we’ve been going there in raids throughout this expansion) and the jungle/swampy Nagxia that was mentioned in the recent lore book.

We know that N’Zoth will give us the Circle of Stars made flesh I.E. Xal’atath

https://www.wowhead.com/news=288373/sylvanas-and-xalatath-in-patch-8-2-rise-of-azshara#xalatath-broadcast-text

“Receive now the greatest of all gifts. My dream has become your own. The circle of stars made flesh.
She will show you the way. Come… come. The hour approaches when all eyes shall be opened.”

Why is Xal’atath called a Circle of Stars I wonder… Is she like those Void Tendrils and Pools in Mac’Aree and Telogrus Rift?

Also from the Island Expeditions: https://www.wowhead.com/quest=53183/wriggling-mass
Speaking of the Circle of Stars it says to find “him” drown yourself inside the circle which may mean that this wriggling mass showed us the dream of N’Zoth that the Circle of Stars will also show us.

I dare say the Black Goat might not be Y’Shaarj after all as the Old God looks more like a Snake than a Goat… Not to mention he’s deader than he was in MoP.

I dunno… Pretty sure getting an altered Derek to his family was part of Sylvanas’ goal. Wire him to kill, get him in close. And now… well… he’s pretty close.

Also, question, do we wanna go through with creating a wiki post for 8.1.5 stuff? Cause I can make one, even though I see a thread has already been created.

Can the other post not be converted?

1003

The poster has to be at a trust level of 3 to make a wiki. I dunno if the OP has access to it.

1004

Mm, I’d try to see if the OP has three before making one. There’s a chance it could just get deleted for being a duplicate or get the current thread deleted which would suck for the conversations going on there now.

1005

I was able to make the post a wiki, i don’t think i have trust level 3 though.

Here is the thread

1006

Sweet, that’ll make finding information a lot easier since you can just search through a single thread instead of six threads, six side threads, and thirty wowhead/mmo-c/reddit posts.

I am right there with you, Pandafriend. Wintergrasp was my jam on my rogue back in Wrath. It was part of my daily routine! Get do WG, win WG cuz I was on a Alliance-heavy server as Alliance, get my raid in if it was a Tuesday, then do LFD and get honor and badges. Buy any gear I need, heirlooms for the alts, and build a partial pvp set with the WG token thingers you got in dungeons while I pve’d.

And I’d get to sit in a cannon. This was amazing for my unskilled self.

First the forums say “wait until tomorrow to give more likes!”, so I wait until midnight. Then it says, “wait two more hours to give more likes!”, so I wait two more hours. Then it says “wait twenty-three minutes to give more likes!”, so I freakin’ wait twenty-three darn minutes! And after that, after I give out maybe five more likes, suddenly: “wait one more hour to give more likes!” Grah!

So yeah. Gonna wait to catch up on 8.1.5 stuff after I can properly read and interact with these forums like I have been able to for years, Blizzard.

But in the meantime, that new Sha pet? I’d take a bullet for it.

My subscription runs out in about twelve hours, and I don’t think I am going to renew it at the moment, due to my personal desire to play as well as my opinion on the current content. Based on this, I just wanted to make a quick post here letting people know about this, in case anyone was curious.

I will probably return at some point, knowing myself. I intend to wait a while, however. The length of time itself will most likely be determined by how interested I become in the content that is released.

Also just waited to say that I love talking to you guys here, and honestly not being able to do that is one of the biggest detriments to me unsubbing at the moment. I will probably continue to still read these forums once I can no longer post, and I will of course still be hanging out in the Story Forums Discord!

For those of you not in the Discord, I hope you have a good time going forward, and hope the content is to your liking!

The link to the Discord is in Dawnsong’s opening post for this thread as well, if anyone is interested!

Maybe switching to an alt could allow you to give likes to other people? I am also quite frustrated by this limitation, it is so hard to chose to not like someone because if this !

Just when I think I might be able to finally get away from WoW, they reel me back in. New Raiding With Leashes achievement and the Sha of Happiness is the reward. I know what I’m looking forward to now :slight_smile:

And yeah, Hanashi, the Likes system is a pita.

That’s driving me up the wall. I keep running out and I hate not being able to let people know I like their posts. At least let me have more likes with higher trust! … And my like on your post is the last one I can give for seven hours, augh.

That’s actually a really good idea. Looks like the “Like” lockout is character-specific.

I believe the likes are on a continuously rolling clock. i.e. you can’t give more than 100 likes in the last continuously rolling 24 hours.

1014

Likewise! We’ll miss you, Verlius. Hope to see you back before too long : )

That’s a good idea! I’ll give it a try the next time I hit the limit.

Totally, right? Like, I’m not receiving any noticeable benefit from the trust levels as they are. Increasing my hearts would be super handy and incentivize further ranks!

Glad to hear Moonweaver’s trick works, though. If y’all find yourselves getting likes from a Hana-something, that’ll be me ^.^

Yeah, that would certainly explain the constantly-teasing timer I dealt with last night. So maddening!

Was looking into playing Skyrim for the hundredth time, and considering the million different versions out there I think a good portion of people here played it at least once. So I ask you all:

Who did you guys side with? Stormcloaks or Imperials?

Bethesda’s been on this constant decline recently, and here I was thinking “ah well, I can just avoid all that. It’s just fallout that stinks atm, lemme just talk about my favorite series instead!”

Timing. :neutral_face:
