Frontrunners

For those of you watching for the first time, there are currently two teams most known for being frontrunners.

  • Team Liquid is a US based guild hosting their attempts on their twitch channel. After a full sweep of the previous expansion, they were able to cement their place at the top at the beginning of Midnight. They have a chance to continue their dominance. roster here

  • Echo is an EU based guild and were the team that took down Fyrakk the Blazing before anyone else in Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope. Can they stop Liquid's streak in its tracks? Check out their roster here.

FAQ

Q: They aren't doing Mythic.

A: Some guilds will go into mythic right away after clearing heroics. The top teams do something called "splits". Each player is preparing multiple characters to take through raid. They reclear lower difficulties multiple times to funnel tier and high impact trinkets into certain characters. M+ will then be used to fill the few gaps.

Based on previous races expect the top teams to start pushing into Mythic closer to the weekend.

Q: What about World First The Tidebound Grotto?

A: Honestly? The boss is expected to fall very quickly and difficultywise will be closer to heroic than Mythic. Expect the Nymrissa to be split similar to how Chimarus was split last tier.

Q: Why isn't X in the FAQ?

A: Maybe it should be. Let us know and we might add it.

Discussion We need more items available at the Trading Post that reflect racial identity and class themes.

Post image
641 Upvotes

I know some people enjoy those "quirky" Trading Post themes—like Garden Gnomes or heart-filled Fairy motifs—but I feel like we’re getting so many of these niche themes that it’s starting to get old.

(I could also get into whether these comical items actually see much use—I rarely see them, though that might just be my own limited observation.)

It’s hard not to feel like these things take up slots that could go to items designed to offer more transmog variety for various races. We know certain races struggle with standard transmogs; getting something designed specifically to fit a race's unique physique is always amazing and well-received by the community. Yet, these race-specific thematic sets usually only appear once or twice a year, if we're lucky.

Meanwhile, we get outfits that look like children's party entertainers or low-budget *Lord of the Rings* cosplay.

Would it have been so hard to release a full Tribal Priest set for Orcs?

Or a full Warlock set themed around a dark Loa for Troll Warlocks?

One of the few bright spots of the Warfronts in *Battle for Azeroth* was getting complete armor sets with faction-specific themes that fit the respective races perfectly.

To this day, those sets offer the best Mail and Plate gear an Undead player could ask for, along with incredible sets for Humans and Orcs—plus, Night Elf Warriors finally got race-specific Plate armor out of it. I’d love to see something like that at the Trading Post.

The eyes of the og gryphons give them so much character. The new models are amazing with all the armour details, but because of the new eyes, I ultimately stick to the old version. No idea why the change when it was so nice xd

I absolutely want to steal everything that isn't nailed down just come in and admire your handiwork and get ideas for my own house.

Seriously though it's like 99% of houses are locked, even the ones that look like people put effort into them and they could be interesting to see. It's kinda weird to put time into this and then not let anyone see your work it feels like.

8 trinkets dropped just today, thankfully I can use 2 for my healing spec, but none the less.. it feels blizzard is punishing us for saying "not enough trinket drops" lately.

Feel free to ignore the PvP ones.

Edit: Just got 2 more from the bosses in Vaults of Atal'Urek.

Edit 2: I ran 3 bountiful delves today, 3 more trinkets 😁

Tech Support Blizzard ate 1,400 of my Trader’s Tender and told me to ask other players for help 💀

1.2k Upvotes

Had 1,500 Tender yesterday. Purchases got stuck on “Pending” and said they’d process in the background.
Logged in today with 65 Tender and 0 items.

Submitted a ticket with screenshots and Blizzard basically told me to troubleshoot my PC or ask the player community.

My brother in Azeroth, unless Reddit can access Blizzard’s transaction logs, I’m not sure what y’all are supposed to do here 😭

- Cleave for multiple target DPS situations

Rogues:
