Renown is absolutely a goal you can set for yourself. There's events that grant a large portion of reputation all the time, and most of the weekly quests center around getting that. There's a lot of cosmetic rewards and dragonflying tweaks!
Getting Loremaster and finishing all the side quests could also be a worthy goal. There's a lot of side stories in the Isles that they put a lot of work into for story line that fleshes out the world.
For that matter, going back to the first point, renown also unlocks some of the major follow on story beats. The one that takes you out to the Emerald Dragonshrine was very good.
Professions are kind of a mixed bag. Leveling them up to 50 is easy. Beyond that it is expensive and tedious. There's a decent chance that someone who has done nothing else but level their profession will be able to craft better than you can for those hard to get points later on, but there's some fun things in there you can make for yourself if you are an engineer.
You've probably already done this, but getting all the dragonflying upgrades is a worthy side task.
You could work on doing all the races forwards and backwards.
I haven't gotten the dragonflying upgrades - I'm taking a casual approach to that, chasing them down when I run across them but not actively seeking them out. I have enough upgrades now that I get around fine.
Races is a good one, I've done a few of those but definitely not all.
Only thing I really grinned professions for was Blingtron and there isn't one this time (yet?) so I'll leave that for later.
I saw that they supposed enhanced Exile's Reach (the new player starting zone) but they STILL haven't fixed the fact that the Expeditionary Armor sets don't have the boots.
I'm getting around that by leveling Battle for Azeroth Leatherworking / Tailoring / Blacksmithing to make the Honorable Combatants boots (which are the same model) but I really shouldn't have to do it. Tailoring is already done, Leatherworking will be done soon... Blacksmithing looks like it's going to take forever though. Ore isn't cheap, and mining it is reaaallly slow.
Big patch. Pretty disappointed in the Annulet change because I don't believe their statement that they are correctly compensating for the loss of the damage. As Windwalker I can guarantee it's way more than a 2% aura is going to produce, so WW is going to trail even further behind after this. I mean I get what they're trying to do, but it's going to be painful for a few weeks while we're further ignored.
All in all pretty big patch and the introduction of a new mega dungeon. I would not expect the servers to be back online at the usual maintenance end time. Historically you can expect a 6+ hours maintenance but don't quote me on that.
There are way more changes than usual too, I couldn't make an extensive post even if I wanted to, it would be past the characters limit. Sorry for the weird formatting too, Kbin still needs some tuning I think.
What are some changes you are happy or sad to see happening?
Quite a lot of UI changes - showing specs in the avatar, showing cast progress, resolution updates for icons etc. are nice to see. Not too sure yet on some of the balance changes. All healers received 5x their Maan, will be interesting.
I came back for DF after leaving at the end of WoD. I used to play a pally healer and loved it.
I tried healing again, and while I was still good at it, I felt so much stress it was not fun at all.
Because of that, decided to switch to tanking instead and just chill.
I wonder how long it'll take for guilds to become cross realm as well? We're getting very close to the old realm system to being basically irrelevant in retail
@MothraCultist
I was definitely only thinking of retail WoW when I made this. However, since there really is no moderation team I’m just going to play it by ear.
Currently, my only rules are “Be civil. Be nice”.
I don’t plan on adding any support for private servers, but I’m not going to prohibit the discussion of them.
wow
