The random unlocks were on retail too, so it should persist.

They're going to take them away though.

Yeah, its the 'strange humming crystal' quest item on the pet vendor guy.

Its pretty expensive though, but the more stufd you do in remix the faster you'll accumulate bronze to buy it.

Yeah Titan ultimately became Overwatch after years of failed development.

It ate up a significant amount of Blizzards resources for quite a while. It officially died in 2014 and that's when they scrapped it and made Overwatch.

Apparently the fel tree is the most "efficient" tree in your artifact for dps and such, but I have to admit there's no greater feeling that going 100% in on the one that fits your class.

Being a ret pally with a orbital laser, light tackle, and constant orbs that heal allies is so fun.

WoD was also around the time when a bunch of veteran Blizz devs jumped over to Titan, right?

That kind of left the WoW team unprepared for the stuff they needed to do.

Legion is very flawed the closer you look at it, but it's also the most in your face Warcraft vibes ever combined with an incredibly cinematic presentation.

Even though it was the start of borrowed power, and had some weird lore choices, it's easy to look past them and just enjoy it.

You get one from the intro quests, one from reaching max level from Moratari, and one for every zone campaign achievement you complete.

The worst part of remix is creating a character you think will just be a throwaway, but then suddenly you have a great idea for them and they're here to stay.

I also just realized I forgot to buy the NB glaive sword, which would actually complete his look. Gotta keep an eye out for that next time.

Somethings not quite right with Stormheim in remix...

You get +10 percent bonus xp for each zone you complete the campaign in and I believe some more bonuses from your order hall campaign. I'd at least focus on those first before leveling alts.

Doing sojourner too will give your alt a bunch of infinite knowledge so they'll catch up faster.

"Become immune to all damage for 30 minutes" seems a bit much. Bet they meant that to be "seconds".

It depends on the animal. I imagine a capybara would be chill with it. Something like a direhorn or brutosaur probably wouldn't even realize its wearing something.

But a raptor or bear? You'd better bring along backup hats and count yourself lucky if you don't end up shredded like the first few.

Fighting regular stuff is OK but rares and elites will knock you around.

If I wasnt playing a pally and had like 5 different emergency shields, I don't think I'd be able to kill most of them without a group.

Imagine getting mauled by an Amani troll's pet Capybara.

Like this 10ft tall mountain of muscle with tusks is just like; "nah, my pet mouse-dog can handle this". It would just be adding so much insult to injury.

WoW Petopia @wowpetopia.bsky.social · 1d

Two more exciting new pet models for Midnight just added to our database. Both can be found in Zul Aman.

Cute & savage, horned capybaras are a welcome addition to the Rodent family! They come in 4 colours

Amazards are a new spiky, and sometimes quite colourful, new member of the Lizard family.

Model shots of two new hunter pet models coming in WoW: Midnight.
- Capybaras (with small, pointy horns atop their skulls) in tan brown, dark brown with red eyes, pale cream, and red.
- Amazards (lizards with spikes on their backs and turtle faces) in bright purple, red, pale grey, green, black, and blue. All have a large dusting of green moss along their backs.

I'l be completely and painfully honest here.

If they sold character (and housing) slots for real money, I'd buy them. I'm sorry. I am weak.

WoW is basically my replacement for the Sims now and I can't fight the need to create.

I made a Nightborne DK to try and cheat getting exalted with the faction (it didnt work), but I also accidentally fell in love with him.

Choosing which characters I'll need to delete is going to be so hard.

It might be easier if I wasn't in heroic world tier but I'm too stubborn to leave it. Gotta get those 100 WQs done for that armor.

GuardianPigeon @guardianpigeon.bsky.social · 1d

Oh man those last 10 levels really kick your ass in remix. I died like 15 times in just the little over an hour I played.

I've got 5 more levels til cap and hopefully then it will balance out.

How could anyone dislike her? I mean LOOK at her!

Though I'll probably still be louder about Zul'jan largely because I'm still terrified they're going to kill him.

Hit 70 in remix and bought every mount I can get so far.

Now time to sleep.

Lol I saw a bunch of boxes running around Dalaran earlier and had no idea what was going on.

Its not much but at least its a slight improvement over TWW.

Zul'drak and the Taunka have me so excited for TLT.

At the very least we'll finally have an awsner to how intact the Drakkari are after the weird back and forth we've had for the last decade.
