[PC Game] World of Warcraft: Catch All Thread

I have my spell effects lowered for dungeons/raids, especially with how small most dungeon halls/platforms seem to be this xpac. Just too much I need to see to have all that sparkly shit in my face.
I'm not too concerned about models for old mounts being updated, but what I would like to see is female models for things like warlock metamorphosis, druid animals (they could just remove the mane from the cat and call it a day) and the new druid animal hybrid models, which are all strictly male.
And I don't even have any female toons of those classes, I just think it's dumb they don't have them.

I like the DK flying mount...
You know as I visit my Garrison throughout the day to start missions, I started to think about how fucking weird they are handling this time altering business. Even more so then it already is.
Now the way Blizzard explained it, and this made sense, was that everything that happened since Garrosh appeared in the past has been altered, creating the new alternate timeline. However, this does not explain how things have changed before he appeared, things that are rather important. For instance, in the new timeline, Grom's mate dies before ever giving birth to Garrosh. As far as this timeline was concerned, Garrosh never existed. That is already a bit of a tough one but not the most blatant issue to me.
That goes to one of my followers, Rulkan. For those that don't read up on the lore, Rulkan is Ner'zhul's wife. In WoD, Grom gives Ner'zhul an ultimatum to join the Iron Horde and bring some worth, or die under it's onslaught. To save his clan, he turned to a forbidden void magic that his ancestors discovered long ago. In disgust, Rulkan took the honorable part of the clan and left, separating from her husband. She helps you by giving you the key that allows you to enter the Shadowmoon fortress.
So why is this weird? Rulkan was the reason Ner'zhul turned to the demons in the first place. Having been dead in the original timeline, Kil'jaeden exploited Ner'zhul's love of Rulkan by disguising himself as her spirit, coming to him in his dreams and leading him down the path that would form the Horde. Later on, when Ner'zhul learned the truth of Rulkan, Kil'jaeden turned instead to Gul'dan, teaching him the skills of a warlock, and sending him down the path to have the orcs ultimately drink the blood of Mannoroth.
With Rulkan being alive in WoD, that means the events that made Ner'zhul form his pact with Kil'jaeden never came to pass, all of which was supposed to happen before Garrosh became part of the picture. So how did Gul'dan get his power? How did Kil'jaeden get his opening to lead to the blood drinking? Damn it, Blizzard, at least be consistent with your crazy explanations!

I really need to pick up War Crimes to get the story on how Garrosh went back in time in the first place.[DOUBLEPOST=1416261103,1416261049][/DOUBLEPOST]As far as Garrosh existing, I'd think that would be fairly obvious. He is from an alternate timeline, just like everyone on this side of the dark portal.
I'm pretty sure that's what I heard. It's an alternate timeline, and not the same characters we know in ours.
That is not what Blizzard has said though. Most times they are asked on it, they say this is an alternate timeline created by Garrosh's intervention, not one that was already alternate before he even crossed over. Yet they keep throwing in these little things that don't fit in that explanation.
The Claws of Shirvallah model is pretty lazy, truth be told, I picked it up and it's just a cat-skinned Worgen with a poorly-animated tail. Also it's a dude, and my Troll is not.
I love the look of the Horde garrison, but then again, you have to kind of love the Orc aesthetic.
It's wild and untamed, instead of the boring little hamlet created on the alliance side.
Speaking of lazy models, the shield I currently have is a great stat shield that dropped off a silver mob, but its model is just that crappy looking old spiked turtle shell one you've seen a billion times and the texture sure is showing its age.[DOUBLEPOST=1416267921,1416267886][/DOUBLEPOST]

Do you have a lumber mill going? That has made me resource rich.
Day? You were gone for weeks. We were getting worried.
Yup. Right now it's any of the races in your faction (including both Pandaren disciplines), plus an option for the Knights of the Ebon Blade if you really want to have that DK feel. I am rather sad they don't have an Argent Crusade option though. That would have been more perfect for me.
I installed that last night.
It *feels* like cheating, but you can also buy treasure maps in game that shows basically the same thing, so I didn't sweat over it too much.
Ok, I didn't like Pandaria. I didn't really enjoy my time there. The daily grind was fucking insane.
I'm in love with Warlords of Draenor.
Oddly enough, some of my favorite stuff has been the Arrakoa lore quests, learning about the divide between the highborn and the Arrakoa we all know and love. It doesn't hurt that Megatron is the one doing all the talking.

The assault on skettis, though, is painful until you figure out how to do it.
But other than that, I think this is the best x-pac they've put out. Ever.
- Fight monsters until you get a key.
- Release the prisoners and fight monsters with their help.
- IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE MONSTERS YOU FIGHT ARE RED OR GREY! You get credit for them anyway.
- WATCH YOUR TIMERS! If one of the prisoners you set free leaves, you lose their points. You need to turn them in before that 5 minutes is up.
- Rinse, repeat.
