There is a toy that can make you bald

Its normal to get your physical collectors edition early. We are a couple weeks before the original launch date so I would expect most people who preordered the physical collectors edition to get them between now and the end of next week.

I could see a toy being a sort of stand up suitcase that pops open revealing a bunch of barber tools. A mount with a barber would be fantastic though. Maybe that can be the next gold sink lol

There should be a toy that summons an Elvaan named Jandelaine and he'll cut your hair for 2000 gil

They’re already in delivery or got delivered. I got mine today.

This is probably the most like place to get a quick answer on this:

Has anyone else received their Shadowlands Collector's Edition physical box yet?

I got mine delivered just now and I have no idea if this is intended or if my store has accidentally shipped them already when they were not supposed to yet.

See above.

Awesome. Thanks!

Nice to have it early for a change. Makes ordering the physical CE slightly less annoying compared to what we were used to.

Let's hope the game dosen't crash because of how many people there are at the barbershop lol

Saw a post on reddit the other day letting people know of other barbershops besides the ones in Stormwind and Orgrimmar.

Besides Ironforge and Undercity, both Dalarans have one, apparently there's one in Boralus and Dazar'alor, and there's two in Netherstorm (Area 52 and Cosmowrench), for some weird reason.

Can't really wrap my head around there being a barbershop in the Netherstorm, let alone two of them.

That is a fucking sexy cover. I got the original limited edition (because I had a feeling WoW would be a big deal) back on release, but never got another one since. This is the first one where the box looks cool enough that I kind of wish I had.

That's fascinating re: Netherstorm. I knew about the rest (the Boralus one is a godawful pain to get to until you have flying though), but had no idea about those.

Another game update just went out

[Varodoc]

Isn't Nathanos as world boss part of the event? If so, that's not starting today.

So then when does this event start?

There is no date yet.

Yeah that was a surprise to me as well. I vaguely recall seeing the barbershop setup in one of them (Area 52 I think) some time ago in passing but I didn't think much of it because who really goes to the Netherstorm for a shave and a haircut?

Like I'd have thought Gadgetzan in Tanaris and Everlook in Winterspring before two in the Netherstorm.

Anyone else think Shadowlands has the best Collector's Edition box out of all of them?

Honestly, yes, and I say that with the original collector's edition box staring at me from a shelf lol.

It has its charm I feels it's a bit over done but that might just be me being contrarian. I like the simply plain boxes with fancy trim.

[Bsirk]

So then when does this event start?

1-2 weeks after prepatch drops.(guessing) Then if you played the ptr you'll remember that the event is a couple weeks long as well.

[Haidaes]

I'm a bit annoyed that they changed the box after 9 CE boxes before it. While it thankfully retains the format, it seems kinda unnecessary that they switched from the drawer style to a folding one.

[Eapoe]

I very, very vividly remember Garrison's not phasing and nobody being able to progress. There's always been some hiccup with launches, it happens.

The garrison bug is the only one I remember happening. It also got fixed within a few hours, and players were still able to go around and level thru exploring and the bonus XP areas. A guildie and I did just that until I found out the Garrison bug was fixed.
Other than that, from what I remember, there weren’t really any bugs that threw that big of a hiccup into people’s leveling experience. Mind you, I’ve only been around for the launch of xpacs since Cata, so anything before that I have no idea as I started early WotLK (Naxx was still being raided).

While I don't think it took too long to fix, there was a major chokepoint Alliance-side for MoP where you had to shoot some barrels from a gyrocopter to destroy two Horde boats.

Only one person could and the boat would take like a minute to respawn the barrels.

It resulted in this:



People got stuck there for a good while.

I believe the Horde had an issue with the Loremaster Cho quest but that may've been in beta. I just remember reading how people had to line up and do it one at a time.

It better have cause the price went up with 40 Euro compared to the BFA one and with 50 Euro compared to the Legion one.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Boy I wish the servers were up. I need something to do while standing in front of a housing plot in FF14.
