    question: what do all ya'll think about cross-faction option?

    Well, then I’m confused by your skepticism. It sounded like you were asking why ten levels of questing are traditionally obligatory for every expansion. You said it could be to “as a time sink to buy time while developing 0.5 content” which, you gotta admit, is pretty cynical. It sounds like...

    question: what do all ya'll think about cross-faction option?

    They'd probably respond with something along the lines of: “Every time we've group-tested removing leveling from an expansion, the reaction is negative, with complaints about how we're ‘removing an integral aspect of exploring the new zones and gaining player power’.” And honestly? I can see a...

    question: what do all ya'll think about cross-faction option?

    I always like to remember the old threads back in 2006 on the ArsTechnica forums where diehard Classic players were already promising to quit the game because the devs “betrayed the spirit of the game” by releasing a new raid tier, and thus making raiding—and not questing/grinding out in the...

    Guardian druid for PvE LFG spam

    Not looking to solo dungeons, but rather LFG-spam with rando groups and maximum pulls. Should I slot Steady Talasite or is there a better gem to stack? Need max survivability and tankiness :D Also, Naga Hide over Elemental Force? Not a lot of info on twinking for non-solo PvE. Thanks a ton!

    Top Twink Class to Solo Farm Dungeons at 20?

    I mean, I used to twink-tank back in Legion/BfA with Crusader on my Paladin and Warrior and it's been like, six years right? I won't hold my breath for it heheh. (Also, didn't they recently nerf it because of the Mage Tower actually?)

    Top Twink Class to Solo Farm Dungeons at 20?

    This is me but with lvl 20 Blood DKs. I don't understand how the spec works and I suck at tanking with them and I can't solo for shit :( Haha.

    Brewmaster PvE Twink Tanking questions

    Hey y'all, I'm back since Legion to enjoy some sweet level 20 PvE twinktankin'. So far the changes to the classes have been amazing! Actual toolkits! relatively full rotations! So many new dungeons! I love it. Except for Brewmaster. What happened!? No more brews nor Keg Smash, lol. Am I...

    Can you find enemies in wpvp?

    Is there still the shared no-XP debuff for non-f2p twinks who queue for random dungeons? My favorite thing to do after work in Legion and BfA was to just put on some chill music and help random groups speedrun through leveling dungeons for a couple hours. Super relaxing and I loved to min-max.

    PTR Level 10s in Shadowlands

    If starter cap is 10 then 10 will unfortunately always be the new 10. Healthy population sadly trumps everything :(

    PTR Shadowland and FTP/Veterans

    Lol Shadowlands undoing all the wonderful Legion spec individuality. Now all specs have 99% same spells. Only diff is one or two spells at the most. Oh well. Been playing on a Legion p-serv and it just reminds me of how much tighter the original spec revamps were in Legion at lvl 20. Arcane...

    EU+US Are you prepping a 120 for level 50 SL twinking? Read

    First off, most grandfathered twinks from days past are 19s. 19s have been having their existential crisis for long enough now. Thankfully there’s such a huge population coming in at F2P cap that the tiny handful of folks at 20 with grandfathered items from Classic is minuscule. Getting...

    EU+US Are you prepping a 120 for level 50 SL twinking? Read

    It might make for a fun bracket in the future. But perhaps only for the couple dozen people reading this thread. For new twinkers deciding on where to spend their time and energy, there is nothing more discouraging than finding out the best twinks in the bracket are all Titanforged up and...

    PTR First Look at Shadowlands Level Squish

    It’s *literally* a numbers game. If you want to twink and have access to the largest pool of concurrent players, then the F2P cap is the most relevant bracket—whatever level it ends up being. Ya’ll hipsters can swear up and down about how there’s viable twinking in non-standard brackets...

    PTR First Look at Shadowlands Level Squish

    Imagine believing there will be playable queues and vibrant communities for any bracket other than 10s/F2P

    Shadow Land alpha

    You say this like twinking is a core part of the design of WoW. After so many years are we still operating under this delusion? The balance and design of every other system in the game will always take precedence over twink-“balance”, twink-“gameplay” and twink-“feelings”. I don’t know how...
