@ClipsForeverWoW @pikaboowow hunters are looking balanced guys

@Dansgaming tbh not every rough edge is the same. a long corpse run or having to actually find a group is the friction that gives Classic its personality. something like bag sorting tedium is just annoying.

The Forever beta's population cap went up again, and the login queue people were getting after a disconnect turned out to be an issue that was filling the queue, which is fixed now. Between the two, getting back in after a DC should be a lot quicker.

Mister Graphed, the reagent goblin at the Black Market in the new Riverglades zone, sells Black Lotus and Arcane Crystal in the beta, and none of it is limited supply. That looks like a price cap on the mats that got gouged in Classic 2019 and again on the Anniversary servers, since nobody's paying more on the auction house than he charges.

The cap sits high though, at least on Pyrite, a mat miners are already getting in the beta. It sells to a vendor for 1 silver and he charges 5 gold for it, so my guess is the point is stopping the gouging without crashing prices for the people who farm it.

He also has Gift of Galloping for 150 gold, a 10% mount speed boost that lasts 15 days real time and stacks with Carrot on a Stick.

"the dev with problematic fb posts from 15 years ago told me to be a better human"

yeah that's what growing up looks like. you used to do dumb shit and then you stopped doing it. you don't continue doing dumb shit your whole life to own the libs or whatever

Druids can drink potions and elixirs in Bear Form in Forever without shifting out.

In Classic it dropped you to caster form, so drinking one while main tanking left you open to a big hit.

Rage Potions work for bears mid-combat too, one more consumable for raid fights.

There's a Black Market Auction House in the Forever beta, at Powderfuse Port, the goblin port in the new Riverglades zone (/way 78.1 51.9). Most of the gear up for bids is Dungeon Set 1, the pre-raid dungeon sets from Classic like Shadowcraft and Magister's, with some pets and tabards mixed in.

That D1 isn't quite the Classic version though. In the beta files the Rogue set, Shadowcraft, has an Energize proc that restores 20 energy instead of the 35 it gave in Classic. I wonder what else they changed on the other sets.

My first MMO was Everquest in 2000, and even back then there were rules for not having inappropriate names. People acting surprised like this is new? Seriously?

[WoW Forever NOW @wowforeverNOW]

@DotaBlitzPicker @JudgeChair @Asmongold @WoWForeverMemes @Joh_Burg @asha_shar @ChrisMetzen I mean we can agree that those names should at least get a forced name change. Surely?

[WoW Forever NOW @wowforeverNOW]

@nemegenesis @Asmongold @WoWForeverMemes @Joh_Burg @asha_shar @ChrisMetzen I appreciate the thoughtful response man. I can agree that he put a target on himself with those posts for sure. Not the smartest move.

[WoW Forever NOW @wowforeverNOW]

@OneUglyS0B @Asmongold @WoWForeverMemes @Joh_Burg @asha_shar @ChrisMetzen U must be new to the internet then and that is okay, let people who understand the topic educate u brother

[WoW Forever NOW @wowforeverNOW]

@DotaBlitzPicker @Asmongold @WoWForeverMemes @Joh_Burg @asha_shar @ChrisMetzen Because having names that refer to charlie kirk's assassination or find clever ways to spell out slurs should get banned in online games

Tom has said some dumb shit but creating the impression that he's a pedo is fucked up.

Having a pedobear meme as a wallpaper was as innocuous as having any random pepe meme that people tried to call a "right wing dog whistle" back in 2016.

[Zack @Asmongold]

@WoWForeverMemes @Joh_Burg @asha_shar @ChrisMetzen Ngl I would prefer if we had more edgy, weird devs like how Tom used to be.

Guys like that built all of our favorite games

I don't appreciate, however, being told to be a "better human" by someone who had a pedobear screensaver

It's fake and patronizing

[WoW Forever NOW @wowforeverNOW]

This is just dumb man and you know that. Having a pedobear meme as a wallpaper was as innocuous as having any random pepe meme that people tried to call a "right wing dog whistle" back in 2016.

Tom has said some dumb shit but creating the impression that he's a pedo is fucked up.

@Atreyeu_ The recent drama on X represents a minority of community members. Just like anything else, really.

It's also a symptom of having @Asmongold 's audience highly engaged right now.

[jordan💚💜 @lofibanshee]

If you start harassing a dev’s family and real life friends over you losing access to a beta, you definitely deserved it, and should consider yourself lucky that you even get to still play the game Nov 4th.

[WoW Forever NOW @wowforeverNOW]

It’s interesting how mad people are about this situation

[Bishop @BishopWeyl]

HAPPENING
BREAKING

Blizzard employee @Fwoibleswow (Tom Ellis) deletes X account after admonishing customers over character names.

Firing eminent?

[WoW Forever NOW @wowforeverNOW]

@damoosmann @FwoiblesWoW @Warcraft Are u retarded?

[WoW Forever NOW @wowforeverNOW]

Chuds bullied this guy off X which is unfortunate

[WoW Forever Memes @WoWForeverMemes]

Hi Tom. Deleting your X account won't save your job security. Maybe you should be a better human to your customers. @Joh_Burg @asha_shar @ChrisMetzen https://t.co/HQb0WBJEDQ
