Quick question : Does someone know how much wait there is usually between a patch release and the release of the next one on the PTR?

I am so bored that I wish we will have new of 8.2 soon.

What’s a raid you tend to sort of just, forget exists? Magtheridon’s Lair for me.

Wind-up Alphinaud, if I had to pick a humanoid character. Though Alphinaud and Urianger are becoming favorite characters, so I’m probably biased.

It’s basic, but I really just like my Coeurl Kitten. It’s the first pet I ever got. Plus, it’s a kitten. The only thing I might swap it out for is the Fox Kit, or the Tora-jiro.

Vault of Archavon, and Baradin Hold. Tying anything to pvp makes it instantly forgettable, to me. I also just kinda blank on Trial of Valor, to the point I had to look it up to not get the name mixed up with the dungeon’s.

The best vanity pet in FFXIV is Gigi because he’s named and designed after Vivi from FF9, the best Final Fantasy.

I tend to use the Wind-Up Moogle from the cash shop for my character’s RP though.

Seems like we are getting a Second Age LotR TV Show
 There are 3 potential eras that could be done: The History of NĂșmenor, The Last Alliance and the creation & gifting of the Rings of Power.

In the Last Alliance we could easily see Tom Bombadil and Gildor Inglorion(who has the ability to turn a forest clearing into a mystical wood hall) show up since we would naturally see the founding of Rivendell.

How come wowpedia lists Forsaken/Horde under night elf affiliations? They don’t also do that on the human and high elf pages, despite also having undead from those races.

Oh yeah. I need to grab that swimsuit off the mog station that convinced me to play in the first place :joy:

Depending on how long the show runs, it could cover all three, in time. Though, even in just covering one of the smaller eras, it runs into the pitfalls inherent to making any sort of show or movie of Silmarillion content: the huge cast of characters, and the vast swathes of time, that make it hard to personally connect or invest in any one given character.

The Rings of Power is a good bet, to me, though. It ties back nicely to the Jackson movies, so it’d be a good jumping off point for the uninitiated.

In other words another Game of Thrones
 Hopefully the show can have a Tywin reference that isn’t enemies with the Tyrion reference(who preferably wouldn’t even be related to the Tyrion reference) but instead fully allies.

I’m also hoping that the Witch King of Angmar is a Joffrey reference though longer lasting and immortal due to the Ring of Power. Joffrey was the best part of Game of Thrones anyways!

I guess the same reason they list Twilight’s Hammer there, too?

Bastion of Twilight for me. I think I’ve done it, like, once? And to be fair, I’ve done Dragon Soul zero times, but I at least know of it from people talking about the mount drops and the seeing the end cutscene. With Bastion of Twilight I just
 frequently forget it’s even there.

It doesn’t help that I’ve never quested through Twilight Highlands, either. Kind of a weird gap for a lore geek to have, especially since I love Loch Modan and Wetlands so much. I should get on that soon!

I love Alphinaud too! Such a reliable little guy~

Did you know, if you enter /handover while targeting your kitten, you will do an emote where your character hand feeds it a treat? It works for lots of pets, too! And even other people’s pets, lol. Great for screenshots ^.^

I did not. Though I did amuse my boyfriend for a couple minutes using /pet, so that my like 7ft tall Elezen petted the thin air about 5ft above my Coeurl Kitten.

From what I’ve seen and read the only Herbivores that exist are Aphids and other such Arthropods. Everything else is an Omnivore or Carnivore!

The only exciting things that happened for me all week was cutting a hike with my buds short because of the weather and getting a huge box of near-expired liquid mints from my job. Here’s a gross video to ease everyone’s boredom.


I just want some prelates already.

How do you all think the Fans would react if the Demon King Bowser was shown killing the 3 Golden Goddesses of the Zelda Franchise(whom I suspect are just the 3 Oracles of the 2 Oracle Games for Gameboy Color) along with Hylia, Fi/The Master Sword and Nayru’s lover Ralph(from Oracle of Ages) using Ghirahim’s Sword form?

There was something just right about faction-changing my Nelf DK to a Troll. Almost ten years since I had a level capped Troll and it still feels like putting on a glove.

Hey they finally updated the Mag’har lines in Org so they no longer think they are on Draenor still.

talk about the world reeking of corruption (fair), having much to teach the ‘orcs of this world’, Geya’rah now was the Warchief’s right hand instead of is, and talking about fighting the Lightbound if they come to Azeroth.

I wonder if that last one is just Blizz putting a foot in the door about the possibility. The Horde certainly won’t be friendly with them if they do come to Azeroth.

They also say “Warchief Hellscream is almost certainly dead.” I think he’s gone.

I’m definitely more excited for it now, than when I heard the original concept of “Hey, they’re making a live-action PokĂ©mon movie, and Ryan Reynolds is Pikachu”. From that basis, I think this movie is about the best we’re going to get for the concept, and I’m pleasantly surprised.

The only thing I’m worried about now, is that they might be giving a little bit too much away in the trailers.

This is how I felt during the Princess quests in the Kul Tiran chain. That poor pupper.

As long as they bring their Ogres with them so I can continue to make HRE jokes about a Holy Gorian Empire.
