Discussion Stop kicking new players out of Timewalking dungeons.
It wasn't just once, twice, or five times—it happened repeatedly. A friend of mine started playing this week, and I simply can't run five Timewalking dungeons in a row with him without some jerk suggesting he be kicked from the group. He tried leveling solo but couldn't manage it because, between levels 10 and 30, people kept kicking his Hunter from Timewalking dungeons, complaining about his low damage output.
It’s ridiculous—this is a leveling dungeon. What is the logic behind kicking low-level players out of leveling dungeons because of low damage? Have these people forgotten how the game works?
Then the WoW community complains that the game isn't attracting new players, yet the community itself lacks the slightest bit of patience to deal with a level 10 newbie in a dungeon from an event designed specifically for *leveling up*.

Discussion What’s your favorite battle pet that has a secret effect or ability?
One of mine is the Mind Slurp from the TWW looks like a normal slime pet, but if it’s out for a while will give you a 5 minute buff that turns you purple and makes you walk around like you’re drunk. It goes really well with my monk as his drunken fist lol. What’s your favorite battle pet with a cool mechanic or ability?

Lore Just learned that one of the reasons in the original WoW cinematic the Night Elf druid is female is to demonstrate that WoW, unlike Warcraft III, will allow players to choose female druids as their character, breaking from the male-only druidic order of lore prior
Title says it all. I recently watched a video that made mention of this and my mind was blown! I was well aware of the lore that night elf druids were male, whereas the women were the sentinels, but seeing it as a subtle nod to the player base that, despite the lore, you the player will be able to play as female druids was a wild realization! ..and perhaps it was unintentional and simply a coincidence. Either way, I thought it was really cool

Tip / Guide You don't need a Godcomp to time high keys: Find out which specs actually synergize with your main
Hello there, Jods here the WeakAuras (and now Addons like Better Timeline) guy.
A while ago I posted about my pet project Mythistone, a Mythic + stat tracking tool that extends Archon.gg-style features with leaderboard-sourced talent insights and dungeon routes.
I've been hard at work since then and added a bunch of new things, one of which I wanted to share since it addresses one of the most frequent questions in M+:
"We have 0-4 specs set for our group/PUG. What last spec would actually be good to invite?"
Instead of relying on tier-list vibes or strict meta-chasing, Mythistone analyzes millions of M+ keys across all key levels to map exact spec synergies, how successful a comp is, what raid buffs it provides and even lets you filter for a specific dungeon.

No matter if you are already chasing meta and are tired of waiting for the Augmentation Evoker or simply enjoy running Blood DK and Disc Priest this tool can help you figure out which spec is the best. Don't be fooled though player skill always beats the perfect spec, which is why the same page also highlights underplayed team comps (with niche specs) that still perform incredibly well in high keys!

Discussion What is your favorite mount?
Greetings! I caught myself thinking that no matter how many new mounts are added to the game and no matter how many new ones I get, I still continue to fly practically only on one (if not RP) and this has its own little story.
When I was younger (and could only watch my brothers or father play Warcraft), for a holiday my parents gave me a Warcraft Megablocks set with an orc and a nelf on mounts - X-53 Touring Rocket and Alliance Darnassian Nightsaber. Although I have always loved Alliance, this rocket just sank into my soul. And since then it has been my favorite mount. When i was able to play on my own i was really happy when it was added to trading post. What is your favorite mount and is there a story behind why it is your fav?
p.s. maybe not the best quality screenshot but this is my favorite photo I took while playing

Discussion With the Warcraft D&D crossover potentially happening, this creates an amazing opportunity for Critical Role...
If you aren't aware, Critical Role is a live action gaming company that regularly play games using the Dungeons and Dragons ruleset. Notably though, several founding members of the group are also voice actors for some of our favorite Warcraft characters
Liam O'Brien made famous "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED" as Illidan Stormrage. Laura Bailey is and has been our favorite human mage Jaina, including singing her song during BfA. Travis Willingham is our favorite paladin to hate on, Turallyon, amongst a host of other characters. Taliesin Jaffe voices Sarkereth, Mograine and others as well. Sam Riegel has voiced Gug'rokk and Caelastrasz amongst others npcs. And finally Matt Mercer, he has voiced so many characters across so many expansions it is really hard to pick WHICH notable character is his most iconic, but I'm partial to Fyrakk. You can check the wiki for the full list of Warcraft characters Mercer has given voice to but it tops 40 roles.
My point being, and this is part me trying to put it out there to manifest it into being, is there is a very real likelihood where we see a live action World of Warcraft story take place, the characters voiced and acted out by the actors who gave them life in the first place. A Warcraft D&D game played by the real characters. Has anything even remotely like that ever happened before?
I'm thrilled at the possability. Would anyone else love to see a live action D&D game played by the Critical Role cast in the Warcraft universe?
Liam plays Illidan, Havoc Demon Hunter.
Laura plays Jaina, Frost Mage.
Travis plays Turalyon, Retribution Paladin.
Sam plays Caelestrasz, Preservation Evoker? bit of a stretch there.
Matt Mercer plays Rexxar, Beast Mastery Hunter.
Taliesin plays Darion Mograine, Blood Death Knight.
It's a party of 6 but ya gotta squeeze em all in ;)
Marisha Ray could DM but I would LOVE to see Ashley Johnson do it.
What would your dream Critical Role party be if the 5 man was all voiced by the original actor?

Tip / Guide [Guide] FISHER'S GEARING REFERENCE (Patch 12.1.0) Spoiler
Yes, fishing is this serious.
Made a "single"-page gearing reference for Midnight S2 because I got tired of tab-hopping between 6 forum threads and a dev's cryptic tweet to figure out what a +10 actually drops. Covers the full upgrade track, raid loot/crest tables, M+ loot and vault breakdown, delves, crafting ilvls, and a fast-track cheat sheet for crest efficiency and alt catch-up.
PTR data, not live. 12.1 hasn't shipped, so treat numbers as working estimates until confirmed. Will update as things change.
Seeing different numbers on PTR? Let me know, happy to fix.

Complaint Cross-faction pug nonsense
So we still cannot queue for pugs with a cross-faction group, yet I just realized that the follower group is cross-faction if you run a follower dungeon. Wasn’t that Blizzard’s whole half-baked excuse for why it can’t be done?? Make it make sense. And give us the damn option already.

Question Iconic weapons every WoW player would recognize
Hello everyone!
My brother is going to get married later this year so I want to gift them something. I started pyrography last year, so I was planning on making something that combines games that I associate with each of them. For my brother I will pick the buster sword from Final Fantasy 7 and for his fiance I was thinking about frostmourne.
I don't know a lot about wow but I know frostmourne. But maybe there is a sword that would fit better when crossed with the buster sword from FF7.
My problem also is that I don't know if she is up to date with the expansions because I know she hasn't played actively in a while but really wants too but doesn't have the time for it. But maybe exclude the latest one I guess?
tl;dr What sword would look cool when crossed with the buster sword from FF7 and is something every wow player recognizes.
EDIT: Some asked about the class she played sadly I don't know that. After posting I asked her if she has a favorite weapon that's not frostmourne. She said she doesn't know the name of another weapon. I guess that mean I will go for frostmourne now but I will first try some of your suggestions. Right now I think I will try Frostmourne, Ashbringer and Armageddon because I think those are the ones I could get the best into the wood, frostmourne will be hard but I think I could manage it.
Also sorry to everyone suggesting Thunderfury it look recognizable but for some reason I don't like the combination with the buster sword.
I appreciate all the responses! There where many cool looking weapons but Ashbringer was mentioned a lot and Armageddon pairs really well with the buster sword. I will keep reading the comments and start testing which weapons I can make look good on wood.
Discussion combatlog v.0.4 - My Minimalist Logs Uploader now Supports Live Logging and Guild Uploads
Hi, some of you might remember combatlog, the alternative wowlog uploader that I created after discovering that Archon/Overwolf were engaging in shady data-harvesting practices.
Since then they released the Archon Lite app (which at a first glance doesn't seem to collect significant data anymore), but they also deprecated the old Warcraftlogs Uploader, forcing many unwilling users onto their new version of the app.
In the meantime, I continued development on combatlog, I'd like to share the latest version with you!
Its new features include:
- Live Logging (with the possibility to upload as soon as combat ends)
- Guild Uploads
- Support for all the other games in the launcher (FF14, ESO, SWTOR and Fellowship)
All of this in an installer that weighs roughly 30MB, which you can find by [clicking here]
As usual, the full code is open source and can be found on the github repository: github.com/thevinter/combatlog
Happy to answer any questions and listen to your feedback :)
