World PvP Quests
world pvp quests kinda fun, but rewards not good enough at the moment to attract people imo.
Noted. FWIW, gear reward ilvl from PvP world quest increase based on Honor level. Also give 500 honor & some AP. (holinka)
Totally admit this is poorly communicated in-game. (holinka)
wait, the iLvL is based on Honor level?! who thought that was a good idea?! another strike against prestige.
If you Prestige you are always considered Honor level 50. (holinka)
does the ilvl of the gear you get from random battlegrounds/skirmishes increase with honor level too?
It doesn't but it's something we're talking about. (holinka)

Professions
Trial by fel fire, far too expensive to make, can you cut the crafting requirements or something please.
Many players don't have the recipes or mats for these items yet. We expect prices to drop as the economy stabilizes. (WarcraftDevs)

If you are a skinner and other people tag your mob and don't loot you can't skin.Please fix this
We agree it's not ideal, but it's a complicated issue to fix. We want to, but don't have a good estimate of when. (WarcraftDevs)

not very many nodes out here in stormheim. can't miners get some love after wod's mining debacle?
We're keeping an eye on spawn rats, and will adjust if it becomes necessary. (WarcraftDevs)

Hy. is it possible that the rank2 mining items from veins are simply not dropping? Completed the HM quest chain.
They're definitely dropping, we've seen them ourselves. Keep at it! (WarcraftDevs)

Build of the Month - September 2016
Each month or so we will post a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer!

All of the parts on this page are Amazon affiliate links. When you purchase your parts through them it helps support the site!

This month
The current SSD prices are fairly flat right now, with most SSDs under $0.50 per gigabyte when on sale.

Depending on how much you want to overclock, you may need to spend a bit more for a better CPU cooler like the NH-D15.

Unless you are doing a lot of video rendering or streaming, you do not need the 6700K and should spend that money elsewhere.

Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date.

Don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!

Legion Pre-Expansion Demon Invasion Event Infographic
Blizzard posted a few stats about the Pre-Expansion event in a nice infographic!

[Guyviroth]

I wont lie. That demon hunter cosplay was pretty damn impressive.

[EternalBany]

I wont lie. That demon hunter cosplay was pretty damn impressive.

if only the movie had used similar prosthetics rather than being avatar

[subanark]

At level 108 now. Should hit 110 today. Family visit for the holiday slowed me down.

[Shihao]

"1.7M Dungeons run with 4 Demon Hunters"

Oh, the joys of a new class!

[Kathranis]

It used prosthetics for the elves. You can't do a Warcraft orc with prosthetics and still have them emote realistically.

[alessandrouw]

Holinka is a bad joke for a PvP lead designer. Seriously, after his video interview I just lost faith in WoW PvP as a whole. You'd think a guy with that resume would know the basics. I hope Blizzard takes PvP seriously at some point (I doubt it).

[Delaccountab]

Also please look at Blink, not teleporting or stopping midway or on minuscule obstacles, like a very small rock.

I found those trial quest requirement item prices too high too, but I will wait with completing it then.

I enjoy Legion so far, OH missions are looong, but having an app is a refreshing change finally.

[Gadzooks]

Totally admit this is poorly communicated in-game. (holinka)

I'm shocked - shocked I tell you! that Holinka still can't communicate clearly. He needs Lore running after him at all times to tell everyone what Holinka really meant.

I don't know if it's arrogance or ignorance that makes him so poor a communicator, but they need a new spokesperson for PvP. One who isn't a dick.

[draganid]

pretty pissed about the darkmoon trinket upgrades needing darkmoon faire tickets. considering dropping inscription, glyphs arent selling well, better to just sell herbs

Amazing.... Calling people a dick when you dont even know WHY he not communicate anymore. Amazing...
FYI he does less communicate, because blizzard as a company cut down all these communications some time ago. They literally sayd - that from one moment, they will talk less and mostly only via Warcraft DEVS.

[arcaneshot]

What else were you honestly using Darkmoon tickets for?

[sporkineye]

build of the month is again the worst advice ever. i would have stopped recommending those amd processors at least a year ago. seriously, put some effort into it, people are trusting you with their money.

[Nerraw]

Also please look at Blink, not teleporting or stopping midway or on minuscule obstacles, like a very small rock.

It's the quick target-less abilities in general that have issues at the moment. Monk Roll/Torpedo and demon hunter Fel Rush are also impacted.

lol, blink has been "broken" for so long this is now considered a feature and working as intended ...

Side info:

The Poll is flawed. You can vote as many times as you want. So the result isn't accurate at all.

[subanark]

Of course poll is flawed. People are more likely to vote if they are 110. Not to mention everyone who didn't vote merely due to not knowing about WoW much less MMO-Champion.

You can change your vote as many times as you want.

At ~$500-600 they are still the best bet sadly. Hopefully their new generation is a nice upgrade.

[Unholyground]

Filthy low borne Night Elves, why wouldn't they just make her a blood elf, I mean she has the skin and hair color for it already.

See below

You can change your vote as many times as you want.

Not only that, you can also vote as many times as you want. So you have a lot of haters voting "i don't play" and a lot of "i am level 110 (look how many this game is so good). Looking at the numbers, the last one is more present. And i am really surprised that in this poll almost 100 k people voted..... like 600% to 800% more than normally do here. ;-)
