Murloc Monday Murloc Monday - ask your questions here

0 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.

WoW: Forever Invite-A-Friend Code Megathread

60 Upvotes

EDIT: Putting this on top so it doesn't get missed. For the sake of usability of the thread. Please don't post a top level comment if you need a code and only if you have codes to give away. Your comment will be removed and nobody will see it. I've already removed 8 of them. Respond to people offering codes.

Instead of spamming the subreddit with posts, if you have an invite a friend code as a top level comment. Make sure to note the region since codes are unusable across regions. People can reply to the comment and DM them (that way they don't get scraped up by bots).

Once you've given out all your codes edit your comment that its done.

If you're looking for a code your best bet is to sort by new.

To keep this thread usable please only post if you have a code to giveaway. Top level comments asking for codes will be removed

A few notes:

  • These codes are 7 day trials. You can only redeem one code per account so collecting them doesn't give you more time.

  • You only need a subscription to play long term. You do NOT need to buy any of the Forever Bundles.

  • Do NOT give any personal info as part of this. You should mostly just be getting the code. They do not need your email, battletag, or anything else.

Have the boys run it back. What does it look like to degen in WoW with your friends 20 years later (yes, it's somehow been 20 years)?

It would be great marketing for the game too. Imagine if Blizzard helped them like they did for "Make Love..."

Anyway, super random thought I had, and who knows, maybe they'll do it!

Discussion Old lady playing wow midnight

644 Upvotes

Should start by saying I am an 80 year old woman trying to be a fair wow midnight player. I don’t know all, the jargon so bear with me. I am slow responding to attacks so my dps is pathetic. I was playing a warlock and decided to try a death knight. Right now I am level 84 but keep dying. I was using the one button for my attacks but my dk seems to just stand there and do nothing. I would like to set a macro to perform several functions but haven’t succeeded. Can someone suggest a macro I can use to perform a successful hit.

Sad to hear about the sudden passing of Eric Bauza at the age of 46. He was a wonderful voice for Looney Tunes, Bob's Burgers, Solar Opposites, Ducktales, Fairly OddParents, among many others. He also voiced Master Snowdrift in Shado-Pan Monastery, Kuai the Brute in Mogu'shan Palace, Rook Stonetoe in Siege of Orgrimmar, as well as a few other notable NPCs. My heart goes out to his family...

Housing All WoW Lumber Farming Routes

Post image
33 Upvotes

I put together an overview of lumber farming routes for WoW housing, covering all the lumber types (incl. Thalassian & Shadowmoon Lumber)

A little disclaimer: These aren't necessarily the fastest or most optimized routes. I focused on routes that are easy to follow and don't require much thinking — perfect for some brain-afk farming while watching YouTube or listening to a podcast. 😂

With crafting costs having been reduced quite a bit, I figured it was a good time to put everything together in one place.

The rates are estimates, of course, and your results may vary depending on your setup and farming speed.

Hopefully, this saves someone else a bit of time!

Happy lumber farming! 🪓🌳

The crafting market is the worse in Midnight. In TWW, the crafting was viable. In Midnight, crafting and trying to make gold from it is horrible. Would like to hear what other people's thoughts are on this issue.

Complaint Please Fix the Nightborne Shoulder Armor Placement

Post image
125 Upvotes

Posting in name of my friend -
"Hello team,

I know you are busy with fixing the bugs, and others. But there is one issue I have been hoping to get shadow fixed for years now.

There is a major, persistent issue with how shoulder armor scales and attaches to the playable Female Nightborne character model.

Unlike their NPC counterparts, almost all shoulder pieces float unnaturally high above the character’s actual clavicle and shoulders. The armor appears to be floating in mid-air and almost falling off, rather than resting naturally on the character’s body.

Below I am showing how exact same shoulderplate sits on an NPC versus how it does on the PC Nightborne.

https://imgur.com/a/6UYPzDQ

Almost all shoulderplates weirdly float on the Nightborne female characters. The attachment node for the player model skeleton seems to be anchored too high and too far outward. Please adjust the shoulder armor anchor points on the female Nightborne player model so that gear sits snug and flush, matching the polished look of the NPC models.

Whenever you have a time, could you please fix this minor but visually annoying bug?

Thank you."

Discussion Thrown weapons in WoW

20 Upvotes

Thrown weapons have an odd history in World of Warcraft. Weapons in WoW all have two categories assigned to them. I’m using some temp names for the categories here.

The first is the Slot, one-hand, two-hand, main-hand, off-hand, ranged, and thrown.

The second is the Type, dagger, sword, axe, mace, mace, staff, wand, gun, crossbow, and thrown.

If you notice thrown weapons have both categories as thrown. Along with this they are the only weapon to use the “throw” ability. Ranged weapon all use “shoot”

In classic WoW this means that they cannot be used with Hunter ranged abilities. Even though Hunters can have them equipped.

These inconsistencies have caused a lot of changes to Thrown Weapons of the years.

From Wowhead

Although Thrown weapons never used ammo (which was removed in 4.0.1), there have been different attempts at making thrown weapons "limited" in a similar manner to how the usage of a gun was limited to the number of bullets the player had. Among the ways Throw-weapons have functioned are: Charges: Often, a purchased common-quality weapon would have 200 charges, losing one charge each time the player threw it. Durability: The weapon would use its own durability as "charges", losing one point of durability each time the player threw it. It could thus be "recharged" by repairing it. Invulnerability: Current thrown weapons have no durability, no charges, and do not suffer any kind of reduction or damage when being used.

Patch 4.0.1 (2010-10-12): Hunters no longer can equip Thrown items.

Patch 4.3.0 (2011-11-29): Now have durability.

Patch 5.0.4 (2012-08-28): Thrown items removed.

Personally, I'd like to see an attempt to bring them back into the game. Warcraft has a long history of thrown weapons in the lore. A start would be to group them with the other ranged weapons and combine the attack abilities. For the ammo issue, I’d go with the Durability version, from there we can test usability.

I must confess that I’ve been a Hunter player since launch and I’d really like to see a way for hunters to be able to actually use them. When this has been brought up before I tend to see Warrior and Rogues try to defend hunters not using them. Saying that they're meant for those classes. My reply to this… they got removed because they became irrelevant, I’d like to keep them around.

No AI used lol but don’t blame y’all for thinking it because it’s so outdated. Good news is that I can look into a new setup after paying off my medical debt this month! :)

Just a genuine question from someone with minimal understanding of Retail Lore and the expansions. Who is this Zovaal guy I keep hearing about from friends and some other players?
