but god forbid the forsaken do it

Oh the Forsaken arenā€™t nearly as vicious as Lady Moonberry. Seriously would not be surprised to learn she lays eggs in peopleā€™s chest.

Thatā€™s the Seelie or Summer Fae in the best light. The Winter Fae or Unseelie are supposed to be the scary monsters that per-Christain Europe threatened their children with.

Dude, I love Moonberry.

She sounds all sparkly and adorable but she is absolutely the scariest character we quest withā€¦ And sheā€™s an absolute powerhouse, too. Moonberry doesnā€™t get in trouble like Renā€™thal and Drakka andā€¦ I honestly am blanking on the character you see the most of in Bastion but whoever that is. Moonberry IS the trouble.

On topic: I liked a lot of the characters. Thereā€™s a lot of fun people to hang out with in Shadowlands. I liked Revendreth and, oddly, thatā€™s the one that I think was worth going to Shadowlands, because it would not have worked in WoW proper. Though I canā€™t help but wonder if I would have enjoyed it all a lot more if the zones were formerly Legion or defiant other worlds we were visiting instead of the fish-flipping AFTERLIFE, because that was never going to work gracefully.

Also, I enjoyed not feeling like I was missing out by flipping the story and progression the bird and just leveling alts via PvP. I have a priest now!

I think itā€™s a toss up between Kleia and Pelagos? (Both were pretty forgettable IMO, but I am a big fan of sassy little Mikanikos)

I like how murdery the Night Fae in general are, but Iā€™d be lying if I said the voices didnā€™t send a cringe shiver down my spine at times.

ooo heck yee, Welcome to the cool kids club!

Iā€™ve got a few more levels to get on him, but he is a Lightforged giant softie who likes saving lives, smiting demons, and trying to pet chickens.

I am also a terrible priest because my instinct is to run into the biggest clump of enemies yelling and then spam everything, but if itā€™s Eye of the Storm and you have shining force, thatā€™s actually really useful.

I was enjoying that. Got my Lock and Rogue to 60 with max honor, with my 2nd Benedikt not far behind on the same trajectory.

But then you hit 60 and if youā€™d like to continue playing PvP well - itā€™s gonna have to involve a bunch of SL BS you actively dont want to play.

Guess I could exp cap them at 59 but once you hit max honor it kinda feels like youā€™ve won and need to move on. Guess I could blow it on honor medallions but I still have hundreds of those kicking around from when they tossed them at you in other expansions.

Itā€™s always so strange to switch from melee to caster or vice versa. Your muscle memory of your most played class totally comes to a head, especially when youā€™re zoned out or just not paying as much attention.

I was playing my enhancement Shaman pretty heavily for the past month or so, and switching back to my Priest felt like the comfiest pair of shoes but Iā€™d be lying if I said I wasnā€™t still trying to smash where the Crash Lightning button would be.

Yeah, the Shadowlands treadmill just lost all appeal for me.

But I do like making, leveling and doodling my characters, and Iā€™ve always found random BGsā€¦ Relaxing or something. Even if they make me incredibly mad. So now Iā€™m just leveling up my pile of ā€œI wish I had one of thoseā€, decking them in honor gear at max, and moving on to the next.

Iā€™ll probably revisting Shadowlands once itā€™s old content for mounts, pets, and mogs, but I was not feeling the treadmill this time around.

Trouble for me is I already leveled all the classes to 50 for SL. But then SL was SL and I think Iā€™ve mentioned before how I logged out for the last time on my Rogue when I realized they changed the BiS from Weald to Dreth. And Iā€™d already played that campaign twice on my Priest and DK. Same was true for Maldraxxus with the same toons. I had to swap them midway through for similar reasons.

I enjoyed both of those campaigns. The first time. They have 0 replay value. I sure as hell wasnā€™t doing it a 3rd time and was already dreading Torghast.

I logged off this time on a different Rogue. Iā€™d tried to be a good sport. I got the legendary and run it a few times. And honestly the catchup isnt too bad. But midway through a Torghast run, I just realized how not fun this was. It was a total grind to allow for more fun down the line. Which is just pants on head design.

I think ya offer PvP, Mythics, Raids and a 1-3 optionally single player PvE mode that maybe has a PvP option like with Expeditons. And each of these have their own progession you update seasonally. Four avenues of competitive gameplay to mix and match as you will.

Apparently, there was going to be another Warcraft MMO on mobile that was just canceled.

Blessed news.

Genuinely surprised they did seeing how Diablo Immortal made a metric ish ton of money despite being about as well received as malaria.

Shadowlands is the first time Iā€™ve done M+, which Iā€™ve enjoyed, but I think Iā€™m done with it. I didnā€™t realize that season 4 is just old dungeons and Tazavesh until I logged in yesterday. Iā€™m not sure if I can properly explain this, but a part of why I enjoy the gameplay of WoW is that itā€™s routine, it doesnā€™t take long to know what to do and then you can do it without much thought which I find relaxing. Doing the same dungeons is part of that routine, which Iā€™ve gotten use to, so I wish that they kept the same dungeons for this season and had the ones that are current be a side-league. This does allow me to go back to doing LFR though, since I havenā€™t done Kelā€™thuzad and Sylvanas along with the Sepulcher raid.

I headcanon that Brokers are what Ethereals become in their afterlives.

This is one bit of headcannon that I wholeheartedly agree with :dracthyr_heart:

Poured my coffee into a thermos.

Put my coffee down to put on an overshirt.

Walked down to the brewery.

Somethingā€™s missing. Probably just a book to read. I have a hoard in my lab anyway.

No 36 oz of coffee. Devastation.
