Definitely canon. And besides, Alliance players who called his bluff when he threatened could make him back down. (DaveKosak)

.I can repeat the Bodhi Pet Battle world quest over and over on same toon. Received rewards every time. Intended?? #LegionAlpha
it's a bug, new tech not quite ready to unleash PB quests officially, but feel free to give feedback as you find them! (Muffinus)

Ghostcrawler Tweets
Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

Maybe it was the title? I wanted to echo the surprise players likely after LK's dungeon zergs but maybe it sounded patronizing? (OccupyGStreet)

I strongly disliked the logic that "players can't do this". The drive to improve has steadily been quashed.
For me games are about overcoming obstacles, whether it's Dark Souls, League or the Witness. (OccupyGStreet)
I enjoy walking my dogs in the morning, but I'm really not looking for a challenge there. (OccupyGStreet)
I believe players *can* do something, but I think for many they maybe weren't looking for that in a game. (OccupyGStreet)
But maybe some players want the equivalent of the dog walk, at least sometimes? (OccupyGStreet)

    2x980ti: hahaha right before the 1080s come out. considering one 1080 outperforms two 980ti and is cheaper, tough luck man. plus wow doesn't take advantage of SLI. grats on your wasted money.

    Overall: you bought a nice e-peen extension. your flaunting of specs make me wonder the same thing i wonder about guys driving vettes and porches and hummers. what exactly is it overcompensating for?


    inb4 "what do you have then you poor smuck?! lol bet its a potato"

    well, boards a sabertooth 990fx r2.0 mounted in a white NZXT H440.
    Procs an FX-8370, OC to 4.7ghz.
    16gb ddr3, two 120gb sata SSD (one OS, one games), one TB HDD (storage).
    Sapphire R9 285 (Approximates to a gtx 960 or 950.)

    Bring on the hate about AMD. and how its "bad" but here's the thing. i meet Legion recommended (easily). my build ran me about 1500 cdn to do it. yours? lets see.... basing off canadian dollar, and an x99 board with an m.2, gskill ram (the more common ram), Asus rog gpus (the choice for people with more money than sense), use my case as the baseline, assume a HDD for storage... bit over four grand. for something you'll never, ever, EVER, EVER utilize more than a fifth of the power of. then there's the power requirement for that setup.... enjoy tacking another 200 bucks onto your monthly power bill for that kilowatt psw you're using.

    so, what ARE you overcompensating for? cause its a pretty big overcompensation.
    Top kek xD

    can anyone in the alpha confirm this?
    You absolutely can not.
    Legion removes the option to use old models for player characters.

    With a 6700k@4.7ghz + gtx1070@2100mhz my fps drops to 60 at some dense populated or foresty areas on the PTR with graphics quality preset10 and ssaax4+cmaa. Legion can really push your specs if you want to. Can't really call wow an outdated game anymore.

    I get 100+ on my rig and it's much lower than his. But some people seem to get shit FPS on stupid powerful machines.
    Well, part of the problem is SLI/Crossfire and the inconsistent support games have for it.

    isn't Radeon HD 5870 better than R7 260X. it probably has older shader model but performance should be better.

    You could get an AMD 250x for pretty cheap($50ish) it would be a cheap option to make sure you meet the minimums and then some.

    I literally three days ago got the i5 6600k 3.5 ghz , 6m processor at the suggestion of this website for the unicorn build.
    This is my first self build so I don't know much about computers. Does this mean my processor is crap now?

    nope your fine 6th gen out perform i7 5th gen processors even at I5-6600...

    Oh wow. i make the Minimum requirements
  1. KampKanye's Avatar
    If these are the requirements then there is no way the PTR is optimized. I'm running a 6th gen i7 and 960 at 2560x1080. On WoD, I max out and never drop below 40fps. On the PTR, I'm at 11fps and don't rise above 40fps until I'm at worse settings than I'm running in WoD.
