Darkmoon Faire Races, Blue Tweets, Setup of the Month, Heroes of the Dorm

The short race is just aids. If you have lag above 150, it will take you a LOOOOOOONG time to get gold. Would appreciate if blizzard would take lag into consideration when designing the race. 0.1 milliseconds off, and you just wont get it.

It was harder than the previous months, but not amazingly awful. I would imagine if I tried I could have done it in 10. Making that annoying jump on the cliff for the big race along with the timings of the powerups, now that is annoying.

I get the desire to "legitimize" e-sports by broadcasting them on TV, but does anyone else feel like that's a backwards move? Cable TV is rapidly becoming a thing of the past -- you might as well try to get local newspapers to cover the game in the sports section, or sell highlight reels on VHS.

Took me about 10-15 attempts to get Gold for the Small Race.

Big Race could have been a 1 shot if i didn't fail the Cliff Jump first time :P

Not even going to bother doing the big race this time since it just means one less bag slot for me

MTE.

Especially with that crybaby talk radio guy saying he'd quit if he'd have to cover games (spoilers bro, you already do). May as well not bother having eSports on any ESPN media network cause... well, let's be honest, can you even imagine AM/FM talk radio even existing as a sustainable business model 20 years from now? I don't know anyone who actually tunes into ESPN's radio stations that's below the age of 60. It's something that's literally going to vanish with baby boomers' generation. The guy will probably be forced to retire or find a new line of work right when his core audience is begins to hit the die off point in 10 years. Cable television as it's been for the last 25 years will probably cease to be not long after that.

Great, more 'content'

How embarrassing.

How is this not a toy? It has no stats, it has a long cooldown, it does nothing really special, several classes have similiar skills so the "advantage" is minimal at best... so why is this not a toy?

This^^^^^^^^^^^ It's basically a race car toy

Indeed. Instead of taking care of some Darkmoon Faire they should fix some stuff like PvP (balance etc).
But agree, that's the 'real content'

Are these setup of the months worth listening to? I need a new computer, and figure I may just use this little guide. Was gonna go with the "Puppy" since I'm on a tight budget and mostly just play blizz games anyway.

Yet another thing that should be a toy, but isn't. And I have to hold onto it, since they'll probably make the change eventually. They have done so with half the shit I've held onto. Hate this cycle. At least I know better not to even bother trying to get gold on the strider big race, since the reward is useless and the race itself is a giant pain in the ass.

Breed battle pets? God, please no. It's annoying enough that the wild pets have different breeds. I don't want to have to carry around an egg for 5000 steps.

I followed the "dolphin" setup last year for my new computer with some changes based on what was available in my region and it's working quite well and was affordable.

Ugh another warlock ability turned into an item for everyone to have.

I would save up and go with Dolphin, with the motherboard and CPU from Narwhal for the best bang for your buck. Having that extra CPU would be helpful for WoW. If you are in the US, Frys has that CPU for $200 in store this week or Microcenter has a CPU/motherboard combo for a good price (in store). I'm not sure how it will work out after taxes and shipping, but people will buy and ship stuff for you.

You might be able to save another ~$50-100+ by buying things that are on sale as well.

Eye of Kilrogg? You mean that spell that almost no Warlock actually has on their spell bar anymore since there is almost zero need for it, and the only time we actually summon it is when we are bored and just want to goof off?

You mean that ability?

Well we can use it to place down a Summoning Circle at least, which I think is decent for PvP sometimes. I wish the game would throw some PvE bosses / world mechanics that actually let us benefit from using the Eye. Currently the only thing it is really useful for PvE-wise (and it is VERY useful) is one point inside the Black Temple for the Green Fire quest line. The glyphed Eye of Kilrogg makes one of the rooms so much easier (you need to follow a narrow winding pathway lined with things that are really harmful. Eye of Kilrogg can just go right through without damage, and you can place a Circle down further down the path).

It was also used on release to get to treasures much easier, before they took away the the glyphed Eye's ability to fly in Draenor. You could scale mountains with a glyphed eye.

Perhaps Blizzard could do something that let warlock eyes be useful. Maybe some dungeons/raids could be made safer if, for instance, a rogue or warlock could be used to scout far ahead of the group so they can avoid some very difficult mobs or environmental hazards?

Heck, maybe there could be a maze-like room with dangerous dead ends that a warlock, rogue or someone that has scouting abilities (would love Eyes of the Beast back for this) could be used to help make navigating the maze much safer.

Please for the love of god take the 970 out of the unicorn build. it's a shit 3.5gb card. and thats coming from experience.

I wish I also lived in the world where you have 4 100-slot bags.
