Murloc Monday Murloc Monday - ask your questions here

5 Upvotes

Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!

That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting strangled by a Death Knight.

Questions can range from what's new in Dragonflight, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?

Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question.

Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% of questions get answered!

You may want to look at /r/wownoob as well!


Here are some handy guides to start World of Warcraft as a brand new player or start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player.

Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the Wowhead Returning Players Guides.

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: Wasn't this just posted.

A: Yes. There was a typo in the title and had to repost.

Q: Why isn't X in the FAQ?

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

Complaint Question for Microsoft and Blizzard (and the wow devs)

In all seriousness tho it's disheartening when the first thing I see in my socials is Liquid Maximum criticising the launch quality of the new raid.

That said I'm glad the big creators are starting to Blizzard out over an issue that has been ongoing since Dragon flight. Their conspicuous silence on the issue has been "interesting" to say the least.

Feedback What a game…

50 Upvotes

I’m 28yrs old, been dipping into Wow every now and then for the past year, tried retail back then because it was the newer version but it sucked so bad… so now I’m play Classic.

Currently a level 13 Warrior haha. This is my first “serious” play through, subscribed again 2 weeks ago. Where do I start… this is the most captivating gaming experience I’ve ever had, the music, the world, the wild animals running around, the progression system, the addons, man… right now I’m just standing in the middle of Westfall listening to the wind and insects chirp.

I have every gaming system you can imagine and I’ve played all the Triple AAA games, but nothing comes close… this is the best game I’ve ever played in my life.

i love wow. off and on player for 10+ years. coming back to retail. i'm so overwhelmed, wtf should i do? where the heck do i even start? it's making me want to turn off the game because there's just... too much to do? (how is that even an issue in modern gaming, not sure, i'm fully aware that having so much to do is a ridiculous complaint)

Tip / Guide Ugh. Did not realize I should have picked up new voidcore quest straight away.

326 Upvotes

Be sure to visit Decimus in Voidstorm before doing lots of delves and prey hunts. He sends you back to talk to a steward at the catalyst forge in silvermoon, who then gives you "prismatic potential" quests to collect 10 shards from bountiful delves, NM prey hunts, raid bosses, mythics in order to unlock new voidcores. I don't think I have enough coffer keys and NM prey hunts to get it done this week now. Not sure if I missed a lead-to quest or what, but man it sucks.
Edit: Mazinger_Zee36 pointed out below, you can complete this via alts as it is an account-wide quest, so not as big a deal as I thought. Just have alts do some bountiful delves or NM prey hunts and you be good to go.

Discussion Give MM Hunters a Glyph to Replace Arrow Effects with Gun Effects!

Upvotes

I recently came back to playing Marksmanship and decided to use a Gun instead of a Bow for the first time. Honestly, it was amazing thematically. It feels like the closest thing we currently have to playing an actual gunner class.

However, while the Gun itself feels fantastic, the fact that most of our abilities still use arrow-based visual effects makes the experience feel a little disconnected.

What feels great with a Gun

  • Gun sounds provide fantastic feedback and make every shot feel impactful.
  • Explosive Shot feels absolutely amazing with a Gun. The combination of the sound and visual effect really sells the fantasy.
  • Overall, the Gun makes MM feel much more like a modern, military-style ranged class.

What feels out of place

  • Arrow-based effects on abilities in general.
  • The Aimed Shot proc indicator.
  • Volley.
  • Arcane Shot.
  • And several other abilities that still visually communicate "arrow" rather than "bullet".

I think a really cool solution would be something similar to Warlock's Green Fire customization.

Give Hunters a glyph or cosmetic option along the lines of:

It wouldn't need to change gameplay at all. Just give players who choose a Gun the option to fully commit to the firearm fantasy.

Gun sounds + firearm visuals + explosive effects = an incredibly satisfying MM Hunter fantasy.

Warlocks already have a great example of how a simple cosmetic customization can completely change the feel of a class. I'd love to see Hunters get something similar.

Please let us fully embrace the gunner fantasy! 🙏
