Murloc Monday Murloc Monday - ask your questions here

2 Upvotes

Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!

That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting strangled by a Death Knight.

Questions can range from what's new in Dragonflight, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?

Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question.

Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% of questions get answered!

You may want to look at /r/wownoob as well!


Here are some handy guides to start World of Warcraft as a brand new player or start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player.

Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the Wowhead Returning Players Guides.

Feedback This makes me so sad and I have nobody to vent to because my friends already dont play WoW anymore.

I was excited because I thought that these new cosmetics were related to talebound. Nope, BOTH are shop ads. The worst part is that kul tirans are my favorite culture and I love eldritch themes. I log in and the bug where my mount camera is in the clouds is back after it was fixed for a couple months. I am just genuinely fed up with how buggy everything is and how despite their game barely being playable a lot of the time, they are shoving more and more shop updates than ever before. I feel entirely powerless to do anything about it but watch and let my sub expire. It genuinely makes me sad because I dont see this getting better, I've observed it get worse and worse since dragonflight.

It's not just that, the content that they are rushing out that breaks the game for isn't even quality, they just recycled void incursions/void assaults but now its with bugs, both literal and software bugs. I am overall a fan of the macro story with Xalatath, but their execution of micro stories that revolve around the characters we interact with are incredibly boring and badly written. I know people are going to defend blizzard and accuse me of just being on a hate bandwagon but I am genuenly expressing the sense of depression I get when I play this game now. I only started playing in 2020, so I'm not one of those salty veterans that want only classic. I quit during shadowlands, came back for dragonflight, and played until now. My first MMO experience ever was WoW with me playing around at the end of BFA.

I am trying so hard to love this game but they just make it so goddamn difficult. I still love the world and the art style and I'm a big fan of the solo friendly gameplay, but the bugs just piss me off so much, especially because I am a software developer and these bugs are just not something that most other games have.

I'm also trying to cope with it by saying maybe they do care and the bugs are just really hard to fix, and maybe they are just super generous and I should think of the shop updates as basically free because I can just use in-game gold to buy them, but the more I tell myself that the more I dont want to play or do content because I feel like every death costs me real world money since Blizzard wants there to be such a large link between in-game gold and money.

Discussion ngl I think I'd prefer the Old Gods in their true forms from the new Hearthstone expansion to be the main villains of TLT rather than villainbatting the Titans and watch Blizzard faceplant at being "MOrAlLy gRaY" for the umpteenth time.

Question Would i be able to raid in retail without speaking?

I don't mean without following comms just without me specifically speaking, I can understand english without problems, but I don't have confidence in speaking it yet, would it be detrimental to the raid if i play without being able to speak?

Discussion The story of Midnight would have worked way better if Atal'utek was the first raid

107 Upvotes

As I discuss with my friends about lore, many share their fatigue with patch 12.1.5 : Yet another invasion on Quel'Thalas, another "Villain of the week" episode that will soon be forgotten.

Yet, those events could have worked perfectly fine had the story been better structured :

Imagine if, instead of directly rallying the loas, the first questlines of Zul'Aman revolved around Zul'Jan desperate attempts at fighting the Twillight Blade, rallying the different tribes in his fight. By fighting the Twillight Blade ourself, we would discover that his force has been infiltrated by disguised cultists, conspiring to push him into delving into the amani dark secrets once prohibited by the loas and the traditions they created.

By exposing the ruse, more sensible amani like Zul'jarra would accept to collaborate with us. Sadly, it would be too late to stop Zul'Jan from unleashing Ula'tek into Zul'Aman and causing chaos. Many followers of Zul'Jan would progressively switch side as they see the results of their transgression. As they proved their loyalty to their old values again, the loa would finally show up and offer their support.

Here things would be the same : Lor'Themar would firmly refuse to help the amani since the Sunwell itself is already under attack, stuck in a constant stalemate against the void. Xal'atath would shine through her sneaky plots as Kith'ix gets unleashed, overwhelming the exhausted amani forces to reach Quel'thalas.

As SIlvermoon gets attacked by the unleashed Aqir, they would be forced to deploy some members of the armies of the light, progressively weakening their hold for the Sunwell. As things get more desperate, they would finally accept to consider Umbric proposition to attack into their world.

Then things go as they did in the first patch, but this time it's more believable that both side are willing to collaborate : they both saw what happened when they refused to listen one another. It would have also let more time for the Horde to arrive and defend against the aqir/ethereals/nagas, while the alliance supports the assault on the voidstorm.

It could have even caused some faction tension, as Silvermoon could blame the Alliance for making the situation worse by making the Well fall into darkness and seemingly failing their mission.

Then the transition into the worldcore would have felt like the logical transition, following Xal'atath path. Really, it fixes so many issues with the story.

Discussion If any of the destroyed human kingdoms were to rebuilt under different types of government, what would you like to see? Fan-art by miloscrub

So that’s Dalaran (which will presumably be rebuilt later down the line and likely have the Kirin Tor rule restored since… come on, it’s Dalaran. There’s no way they’re getting rid of that kingdom permanently), Alterac, Stromgarde and Lordaeron (if you don’t count the Desolate Council as the new Lordaeron government). I’m not expecting anything like a modern democratic state or something like that, but if we ever did see those nations restored, their ruling dynasties have been destroyed, so it might prevent a return to the type of monarchy that we see in Stormwind, Gilneas or Kul Tiras.
