LFR + 1

In this lull time between the end of Cataclysm and the opening of MoP, a number of us are looking into other means to keep the game alive. I've started actively participating in arenas, but I've also signed up on a couple external Looking for Raid sites. These websites allow anyone to setup a raid and invite people to come along, without having to spam Trade channel.



OpenRaid.US - is still in beta, but based on my 'main' character selection, I get a nicely formatted message weekly.

For example:

Raids for Elkagorasa (not your preferred character? Change it via 'Characters')
Firelands 10 HC 6/7
Sat 3 March 2012 @ 15:00 - 18:30 (servertime)
An extreme raid doing heroic raids
Clear all firelands boss in heroic difficulty with Ragnaros normal. Depending on the group, a weekl...

ICC 25 HC full run
Sat 3 March 2012 @ 15:00 - 17:00 (servertime)
A social/fun raid doing heroic raids
Killing all bosses on heroic mode. Do not aim for achievements however I expect to get nearly all o...
Sign up now, there are still 8 spots left!
***********************************************
Ulduar 25 AchievementRun
Sat 3 March 2012 @ 17:00 - 20:00 (servertime)
A semi-hardcore raid doing hard achievements
Try to do all Achievements!Not the drake!
Sign up now, there are still 22 spots left!




WowPugs.com - this site has a prettier interface, let's you sign in with your facebook account (if you wish) and even has integration for IRC chat. Only problem I see, no Malfurion - US raids going on (yet!).


I don't know about you, but this could be interesting. A lot of the OpenRaid announcements have been for Achievement runs, or Hunter Legendary runs. If you don't have an active Guild, or simply want to try running older/different content than currently, this (looks) like a great way to find some people to play.

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

-
Image
Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
