Warlords of Draenor - All Character Achievements Complete
Players are keeping busy while waiting for Legion, with several players completing all of the possible character achievements. Congratulations to Arpexia of Thrall-EU and the others that followed.

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)

    If you can play now then you can play in legion as well you just won't get to benefit from the increased view distance and probably the ultra textures as well since are the 2 major graphical additions, the textures performance hit is pretty much negligible. You can't tell much from alpha right now either because many graphical effects are completely unoptimized and tank frame rates on even the most powerful computers.

    i hope i can still play my chars with the old graphics..

    can anyone in the alpha confirm this?

    In my case i have to turn the graphics down on the Alpha, especially the Viewing Distance ( its like 10x higher than in WOD ) , it really depends on the Scenery but its definetly more demanding than WOD iam afraid.

    Note: FileVault options and case-sensitive formatted volumes are not supported for installation of Blizzard games.
    WHAT? Filevault is always activated on my laptop...

    Well gee thanks Blizzard, nice of you to let us know that the reqs has greatly increased several months after allowing people to pre-purchase. -_-

    Seriously hope this is true. My laptop is okay for playing WoD, but that's really it.

    Goes without saying that you'll have no problems running it if you can run WoD. Increased requirements cover additions and enhancements (View distance, lighting quality, texture resolution), which almost certainly are optional.
  1. Keltas's Avatar
    So I have an i5-2400, but all the other recommended specs (Don't really have the money to upgrade it anytime soon either)

    Think I'll still be able to run the new high resolutions? I won't be increasing view distance, I don't need to see further than it goes now anyways. I also leave shadows and lighting on medium usually, although I might try to up the lighting a bit.

    Gz Arpexia for being #1 and thank you for taking your time to explain it to me. Too bad blizzard fucked it up with giving alliance an extra achievement to which we have no counterpart. Why does wowprogress.com list it that way thought? This SHOULD be fixed imo.

    Ugh, another increase. The one that came with wod had quite an effect on holder hardware. Now getting 1-3 fps on an older netbook while before it ran it fine with 45-60 fps on low.

    But i guess they have the numbers to support this

    Problem is everything keeps evolving. Hell in Vanilla you could run the game on Windows 98/ME with an Intel pentium 3 and like 512MB of RAM. Even then it ran like garbage. It also used to run on Voodoo cards.

    Luckily I did upgrade my pc few weeks ago.

    Hmm.. I wonder how the upped requirements will affect me with a intel pentium G3220 3.0 ghz, 8 gb ram and a gtx 660 2gb, at the moment I rarely have it dip below 60 fps on ultra while out in the world.. Would be a shame if I had to lower the graphics to get 30+ in legion.. Of course I could upgrade my CPU but they are quite expensive compared to the amount of money I have >.>
