Morning Folks! This is one of those blog posts that sort of became one thing without meaning to. I talked a bit about #GuildWars2 and the announcement of "Expansion Five" that is coming at some point today.
@belghast A Polish news site accidentally published their article before embargo.
I think they're definitely touching home instances. The leaks mention a feature called Homesteads!
Also, more raid content is coming. It's a lot easier to get into now that Emboldened Mode exists as an LFR-style difficulty tweak. I think that added support will help more people engage with that facet of the game.
@sotogaming I honestly hope they remove the ability to respawn, but keep it's ability to treat tier 3 injuries. I could live with them having some hefty restrictions on the respawns though, like maybe 1 respawn token every 10 min, with a max capacity of 4, in addition to using some sort of medical resource to enable respawning.
Afternoon Folks. I have no clue why I have been struggling to get a blog post out in the mornings lately.
Anyway... last night I managed to snag a Siege of Orgrimmar and Throne of Thunder group and am the proud owner of a shiny necklace slot. I also talk a bit about how grouping has gone in general and how I would love for this recent foray into building groups to extend into other games.
It took me forever to cobble together a blog post today... but I finally finished it. There have been a lot of think pieces posted lately about #PathOfExile#Necropolis league and whether or not it was "bad". I dive into some of my thoughts about the subject and end up writing my own rather lengthy think piece... further adding to the problem.
Morning Folks! Last night I waded into the scary world of the Group Finder tool in #WorldOfWarcraft#PandariaRemix and found it to be a mixed bag. The first three normal raids were super smooth and I knocked them out in rapid succession. Then I spent the next hour failing to get into either a Throne of Thunder or Siege of Orgrimmar raid.
Morning Folks! Yesterday I tried the whole "get to 25 and then just do raids" thing for alt leveling in #WorldOfWarcraft#PandariaRemix and it is very much "not my jam". My appetite for chain-running raids does not appear to be what it used to be. This also feels like a strategy for maximizing bronze gain and not necessarily levels.
Morning Folks! Last night I hit level 45 in #WorldOfWarcraft#PandariaRemix and started on my third zone. I spent some time this morning talking about the scope of Pandaria and how it is contrasted against the feel of the last few expansions.
I also spent some time talking about the Narcissus addon which is making the whole constant gem swapping a bit easier.
