World of Warcraft Shadowlands patch 9.1 Chains of Domination is not coming any time soon, and the fact that the expansion’s opening won’t be remembered as fondly as the content deserves is a real tradgedy, but can Burning Crusade save the day? Or will Blizz sabotage their golden goose with Classic Level Boosts and store mounts? Join us for the Weekly reset with Taliesin and Evitel!

  1. i have a felling many of you who think ur gonna boost and "hop" right into the endgame are in for a ride awakening when you realize how much farming, grinding rep, professions, and attunements are going to be. just the attunement process alone can take close to the same amount of time as 1-60….

  2. Well, I’m out for now. This is my first sub lapse since MoP. I’ll consider getting some time when 8.1 drops. Would have been an easier decision if I could still try it for 30 days. 60 may be a harder sell when the time comes. We’ll see I guess.

  3. As someone who has been playing this game for a while now and has been in the community since then. I’ve only played this expansion twice because I don’t have the time. I genuinely don’t know if I will play once they implement the new subscription changes.

  4. the REAL Tragedy is Blizzard Raking in Record Profits, then laying off lots of people, then giving Bobby Kotick a $200 Million Raise on top of telling people "you can only buy two months now minimum" . Imagine if just a 10th of that funding went back into WOW ? Kotick is The Jailer Siphoning off all the Cash Anima that everyone else had made. Morhaime actually cares about this Company, Kotick is there to pull a SEARS CEO move and tank the entire company so he can liquidate.

  5. I didn't even realise you could buy a month at a time… that would really have made it easier for me to play, and I find out as it's cancelled :/ call that an Oof bliz

  6. so… if you say Covid is SL delay problem, whats the excuse for bfa delay? they are taking TOO LONG because their own system, they will never win
    blizz devs are their own worst enemy.

  7. Aaaand 9.1 was just announced for PTR. I can't help but think that Blizz used their PR puppet towelliee to spur a discussion on forums, from content creators etc., attract attention, then deliver a "better than feared" solution… just my 2 cents

  8. I liked the covenant video so i'm ok with the fact it two took two weeks to make also i laughed when you said you didn't know when the video would come out as it came out a day before. I was initially confuses when you said you didn't know when the ptr was then i looked at the comment which said the post came out a couple of hours after the video dropped again which i found hilarious. I agree with your point about the late patch being a tragedy but i can't help feel like it was somewhat blizzard's fault for putting in a difficult to balance system. On the boost subject it feels too much like a cash grab for me, if it was for more player it would have been free for new account only and honestly classic leveling and leveling vanilla in bc felt different so i don't think that's a good excuse for putting in a boost. I do agree with your fresh server idea though. you also have a good point about the wrath mount store. On better news liked the shit show and the intro.

    This video I got 45 spinefin pirahna for crit food. the number isn't 100% accurate as I stopped for a bit to work out why I could smell burnt toast in my room( I couldn't find out why, i may have made a bad joke about it) and for some reason i kept fishing after pausing the video. I hope you found my comment interesting and I hope you have a good week

  9. As someone who plays this game casually, the 30 day removal hits hard. I like to play on a monthly basis. I dont have a creditcard or paypall because my country online banking system does not require me to have it and i will not have it for wow. Just let me pay with the money i have available and not the bs with the subs. I will only play the game when i know when i will play 2 months. They want more money, they will certainly get less off me.

  10. Another unfair part of the delay with 9.1 is how much pressure it's going to put on the content. If the patch takes this long and isn't amazing there is a zero percent chance we won't have a shitshow on our hands.

  11. I must be getting old..I pray every day that 9.1 does not release until 2022. I still have to do 3 mythics, I only completed 2 renown 40 covenants, I only have 2 lvl 60 chars, m+2 is my highest m+, only did lfr once…and there's sooooo much to do for each covenant, from ember court to Ascension in Bastion…are most players nolifers now ??? Is everyone suffering from FOMO and YOLO to try everythimg as fast as possible? That explains why I see people getting kicked in leveling dungeons for doing less dps…Maybe i'm geting old 😇

  12. I see no problem with Blizzard's change to payment options.

    Just buy any subscription type you want (from 1 to 6 month) and then IMMEDIATELY cancel the subscription.

    That works exactly the same as if you would use (now removed) pre-paid options.
