The Royalty of Eastern Kingdoms

-
With all the speculation about the upcoming expansion announcement on Thursday, I'd like to throw out one more. See, the big gorilla in the room is the Warcraft movie set to come out June 2016. From what I've heard (and the leaked trailer), this movie is based off the Orcs first showing up in Kalimdor and claiming Orgrimmar.
(Photoshop in a picture of you.)
I'd like to postulate that the upcoming expansion will mirror this. Again we'll time travel to the not so
distant past of Azeroth. The orcs HAVE come through the dark portal (patch 6.2.2) and we follow them into Azeroth. Unfortunate for us (see Quantum Leap), we don't land in our own timeline, but a similar, but different timeline. We now must relive the founding of Orgrimmar, destruction of Stormwind and the exile of the Trolls from their homeland (which we helped them reclaim back in Cata).

  1. Fight alongside King Llane Wrynn as he deals with the orcs streaming through the dark portal. Followed by his eventual demise and Varian forced to take the crown.
    Sorry BingRobot, he's 37 IRL. Maybe it's the makeup?
     
  2. Watch as the worgen are born (again) and go into seclusion, cutting off all support to Stormwind in this time of need. 
  3. Help Orgrim Doomhammer setup the orc base in this new land, later to become Orgrimmar. Witness the birth of Go'el.
  4. Join Vol'jin and his shadowhunters as they fight against and then with the orcs invading Kalimdor.
  5. Stroll through the streets of Lordaeron before it succumbed to the scourge..

OK, it's all just speculation based on what little I've seen from the movie trailer and what I'd consider a McDonald's Happy Meal type tie into it's release.

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 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...
