One day we get to 18, the next, 0 I got a pony! I lost 700 achievement points, probably due to rearranging the achivements. Mournful Moan of Murmur is now up and running after TWO YEARS of being broken. I have not yet tried to level a toon yet. The price of Celendras dropped like a rock. From 750k to 50k. When you go into Ulduar, it’s now 10-man no matter what you set raid to. It took forever to kill Galleon and Sha of Anger. Zone quests are now gauged by chapters, not numbers of quests completed. I was mailed all the new mats. This Week in WoW Pet Battle Event Call of the Scarab - Jan 21-23 Patch 7.3.5 Patch notes: https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/21365423 Undocumented patch notes Known issues: Mobile/web AH disabled Dungeon boss HP levels reversed Normal vs. Heroic Raid boss difficulty - difficulty turned up for Warlords/Pandaria raids to put in line with leveling characters but overtuned them Pet names disappearing New backpack slots not showing up right away for new authenticators Last wing of Argus LFR was bugged - if you wipe you can’t get back in Redridge quest Saving Foreman Oslow not working Patch 7.3.5: Leveling The leveling experience: uneven reviews Journey vs destination Ren’s personal experiences doing N&A and feedback from the N&A participants Professions: 1-60 profession progression still klunky Still have old gathers (copper ore, thorium ore, peacebloom, goldthorn) tied to former zones Level gains from herb/ore gathers still about the same as it was - about 1.7% of total level XP per gather for lower level gathers (reduces over time - was down slightly below 1% at level 63) Leather/cloth gathers still tied to former zones (eg. leather experiment in Azeroth, cloth in BC/WOTLK) Mobs and equipment scale to the toon, but profession drops still scale to the zone Pro: You can still do predictable lower level farming Con: Leveling might be a freedom of choice experience, but leveling professions is not -- still tied to old zone definitions Solution: Flatten mats to three tiers -- levels 1-20, 20-40 and 40-60. Enchanting squish did not go far enough, may have skipped guild banks entirely Naked & Afraid 2018 Ren is level 19 in N&A - not highest toon but has the most gold (Maxx, gnome outlaw rogue, is level 30 with 9 hours /played) Started Wednesday, 1/17 - join in anytime 3 official servers but you don’t have to join Lots of minor rule clarifications, one major change Almost 30 official participants so far Shout out to MythGamingMN for streaming his N&A.
