Story Forum Community Lounge (Part 1)

I know I’ve hit burnout stage when I have a level 118 warrior with the DMF buff, a +5% XP gem in my ring, the +10% XP incursion buff… And no real desire to log in for two hours to hit the cap, equip my 340 pieces and wait for Darkshore’s assault to pop up in a week or so to quickly gear up. This is literally the first time since I started playing oh so many years ago that I’ve had a toon so close to capping without logging on it for days at a time.

BfA’s toughest boss must be apathy.

I’ve had a pretty crummy day, so I popped into the Story Forum Discord to see who was around and potentially talk to some old friends. Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who was there and made me feel welcome. Your company was more helpful than I can describe. Apologies for leaving so suddenly, and that I never finished the survey, but I will be back someday to meet everyone again. This forum and its posters, new and old, continue to be such a bright spot in my life. Thank you all so much :two_hearts:

(P.S.: You can never spend too much on transmog :P)

Hanashi, you have a better day today, okay? You’re too awesome to not have great days every day.

I farm gold to buy up transmog from the AH to expand my wardrobe. On my non-hunter toons, I’m always changing my transmog up either in small ways or large.

If there is an acceptable amount of gold you can spend on transmog, I’m sure I’ve exceeded it ten times over.

I expect it on our desk next time.

You also owe us a survey, ariel.

Thank you! It was a fair bit better today, usual ailments notwithstanding. The Resident Evil 2 Remake demo came out, and it’s very very very good! It had a thirty minute time limit, but I finished it up in eighteen, mwahaha! It was a mixture of nostalgia and wondrous glee, hearing familiar music and seeing familiar hallways, but all dressed up in 2019 polish. I remember saying “you can actually interact with the background! It’s not a picture!” while cackling with childlike joy.

It was a very effective demo because I’m kind of really wanting to buy the full game now! But I’m also playing a JRPG currently, so probably not good timing. But it’s most definitely on my radar.

Any gold farming tips for me? I’m about to dip sub-200k because of rep mounts. Never really maximized my garrison/order hall opportunities, unfortunately. I’d really like a froggy mount ;_;

I actually filled it out when I saw it posted, but other conversations were going on and I didn’t want to harsh anyone’s mellow with My Opinions out of nowhere. Ended up not having a chance to share before time was up. But I did save them as a text file! All’s ready to go for next time : )

I’m not really sure why but I never ended up playing RE2 and 3. Were they on the PS1?

Lately my auctions don’t sell much, so I’ve been running older raids for raw gold and cloth. If you have maxed-ish BfA professions, craft some of that 340 gear too! Tailoring ones sell for between 5k and 12k, and the mats aren’t that bad nowadays.

Yup! Resident Evil 2 is my favorite in the series. I love its antagonists, both of the A-side story and the B-side story, and it introduces some of the best side characters in the series. Even the little girl you have to rescue and protect is more endearing than annoying. And the new monsters are just, mm. Lickers, the final boss, that thing in the sewers I won’t spoil. Great stuff. Highly recommended!

Oh, I do like the sound of raw gold, since I’ve never been too good at buying and selling things. Thank you for the tip!

Uhhh…? Is Hanashi´s name Ariel irl? Cause sorry to dissapoint, but I´m not him/her/whatever.

Also… survey?

Everyone has to answer the questions. EVERYONE.

How do I participate on your survey?

Jump in discord. I just pinged it at you.

Ok… (uhhh… to the risk of publicy humiliating myself… do I have to do something in partcular after I login? I mean I barely use discord).

If you login you should receive a ping on your profile. Click the @ symbol in the upper right corner to see Anya’s survey. Or just go to the general channel in the WoW Story Forums Discord. She posted the survey there.

It’s my personal opinion but I think that the Video Game adaption of Return of the King’s Aragorn could if equipped with a Lightsaber fight Darth Sidious for much longer than the Jedi Masters Sidious killed. Movie Aragorn would be very quickly killed by both Video Game Aragorn and Darth Sidious individually.

The reason I say that is because Video Game Aragorn uses the exact same fighting style aside from the lack of acrobatic flips while Movie Aragorn of course is more like Darth Vader from Empire Strikes Back and much less skilled than Video Game Aragorn.

Someone give me enough luck to get the Solar Spirehawk to drop. I’ve been trying to get this stupid thing since WoD and I’m starting to think it doesn’t actually exist.

I dare say a master of Form II Lightsaber Combat on this level could beat Yoda and Sidious each on one on one combat. Sidious left too many openings in all his Lightsaber duels anyways.

Thrawn must learn fencing and to the highest level so as to beat the masters when he gets his hands on one of the Time Gates in Star Wars!

So I’m aimlessly flying around Draenor’s Shadowmoon Valley, and I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the prettiest zone in the game especially when it has the night skybox.

I really, really wish draenei could be druids. I love their models and WoD architecture, I’d race change in a heartbeat if they could.

See, I used to think that too. And it is absolutely among my top three zones for scenery! But then I flew around Suramar late at night, and it was close but with Suramar coming out on top.

And then I went fishing in Stormsong, and it was a whole thing.

Say what you want about the story devs, but that art team? They are always the carry for an expansion.
