    Because you'll hit 70 and start abruptly getting OWNED IN THE FACE. I don't know what level your character is right now, but I know they aren't 70 from you saying this. Your performance will drop drastically at 70. Stuff that would have done 30-40% damage to you at say, level 40, will abruptly start one-shotting you at 70. Actual just normal non-elite quest-mobs will one-shot you sometimes even.

    You don't need to spend millions to get out of that, but you do need to spend tens of thousands.

    They should have, yeah.

    Let them. It's tiny number of people who have done that, and it's not "millions" - if they've made that much Bronze, they can make more.

    I'm 70 and it absolutely sucks. Would have frozen the XP gains around lvl 30 if that were possible in Remix. But alas, Stormwind and Mr. Twink are off limits.

    But the gear upgrades are way too expensive to even think about them when they use the same currency a the cosmetics that were supposed to be the main point of the event. They should have used Infinite Flightstones it some shit for the upgrades.

    And how could it be only tens of thousands when a weapon alone costs like 100k?

    Yep. That's why only way is to buff bronze gains. Not only frog enjoyers spend bronze on gear, normal people do it too. Cosmetic are not THAT expensive if you focus on stuff exclusive to the event.

    Having fun with Remix. Fresh 70 (non pumper) was a bit rough until I got better gear and started gemming stuff (yes. I didn't use gems until 70. It was a enough of a nightmare having to resocket tinker and cogwheels whenever I got an upgrade. I didn't want to add any more resocketing stuff).

    Is there a list of things that are definitely only obtainable in Remix?
    Stuff like the Shado-pan ensembles are Remix only, and things like the class-armour-type are semi-unique I guess. But I notice a lot of world armour sets and toys in the bazaar seem to be just stuff you can get in Retail.

    Good chance it could be. I wouldn't mind that personally. Blizzard has been killing it with mega-dungeons since Operation: Mechagon.

    The first time we see dominated Anduin is in the final phase of the Sylvanas fight - Then the Jailer immediately walks into Zereth Mortis.

    The cutscene where they're still building Kingsmorne was even released after Sanctum came out.

    You're assuming they couldn't refund the Bronze people spent on upgrades - They can, easily.

    The first time we see him dominated is the opening of 9.1 when he attacks the archon.


    He then shows up in both ardentweld and the maw to get the to get the other runes while dominated.
    Evil only wins when it spreads. It can cause destruction, it can cause death—but those are consequences of its nature, not its victory. Not its goal. The danger of evil, the purpose of evil, is that it causes those who would oppose it to become evil also.

    Anyone knows what addon this is?



    Would make remix a whole lot better to see which mounts I already have and which ones not.

    Why should they refer to a megadungeon as a raid internally?

    And in Ardenweald he probably killed quite a few locals. I think that is what is implied in the short story with

    Haven’t gone through the story yet but ya that sounds like he did some Fey slaying.

    CanIMogIt added the icons to mounts, pets and toys with their most recent update. Enjoy

    They do stuff like that all the time - Just look at the history of classic.

    Classic is different from retail. In retail they would never refund anything.

    its been pretty funny seeing people over the last few days calling for cloak rollbacks, just insane tbh. blizzard didnt rollback things that were a lot worse than this, and that actually affected the live game (artisans consortium shuffle in 10.0, for example)

    I really don't get why people are getting so angry about remix raiding when its only tangible rewards are two titles plus the garry stuff (and I don't think this is a normal raiding issue) and you have 3 months to get them. Also when raiding was not the main draw of the game and is mostly a gimmick minigame with how buffs/stats work in Remix.

    The people who "wasted milions on Bronze on upgrades" exploited anyway, who gives a shit.

    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Two raid mounts dropping from the first raid is really nice, but I hope it doesn't have any greater implications.
