July Status Update

-
Just a quick update...

Vacations are complete. At least I think so; my wife may have other ideas. 4 days amidst the crowded Disneyland 60th Anniversary celebration should be enough for any family.. :) It was a lot of fun and we still managed to get on a lot of rides.. It's all just a matter of planning out your tickets so you're always waiting on another "FastPass".

I've managed to complete part two of the legendary quest chain. All 125 abrogator stones collected. It was 2am in the morning, but I still ran over completed the quest chain. The next portion with having to collect 900 fragments sounds absolutely outrageous. Hopefully the drop rate is better than 1-5 per boss. 

Warcraft movie is previewed at ComicCon. Some guy isn't interested because it's heavily CGI. Too bad there are no orcs that they could have used for filming. 



Update: Just saw this on Legendary's Facebook.. So much CGI.



I've gotten my first epic ship through random luck. I feel like the 'destroys boat' for not 100% chance has gone down. Maybe it's just the one or two 85% chance that I've tried.

Timewalking has been fun, even got a few 'heroic dungeon' achievements for dungeons that I missed at level, but I still barely can complete 2 dungeons each weekend. BC Timewalking this weekend, so maybe I'll get the quest from last month completed this weekend??  Also a curious Draenor dungeon event going on this weekend... "increase rep bonus ..." So far, all my drops have been meh, nothing yet that AMR would let me equip.

Realized this week, that a 30-slot bag exists. Considering my warlock has been stockpiling mats for the last 3 months, he now has 800 cloth to use on this bag. Just need to xmute the sorcerous earth.

Going to try running BRF LFR this weekend and see how it goes. Maybe even peek into the add-fest that is HFC.

Addition #1: Worst news of all.. A co-worker/guildie was kind enough to send my Alliance druid (on a different realm than my main) a Sky Golem. Yeah, I know, pretty awesome! Problem?? My druid is level 77 and to even 'use' this mount (meaning add to my stable of mounts), I have to be level 80. So, I guess I need to start running more dungeons as NE bear..


Addition #2: I finished my rep grind with the Arakkoa and now have the level three trading post (plus 20% rep bonus). I am just about ready to start grinding out my rep with the three factions for Pathfinder.

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

-

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 developm

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
