What's the difference between subscription and game time

As the title said, i will try the game out but i wondered if by the game time means the time will run out only if you are playing in-game.

Sorry about this, i think it was asked here 1000 times.

Glorious Plate cosplay by RGBfoxie, Cruel Gladiator's Ironskin Armor (Alliance Recolor) by RGBWolfie

From 2019. We made these cosplays in our early days. They're now gone due to being busted up in small apartment storage, but we still have the Lute and staff. Glad that photographer dragged us to get a pic, this is the only good one from that era.

US realms horde recommendation for PVP ?

I'm OCE players (singapore) want to create new character for next season in the US server for more stable ping
Ping is really bad at OCE server.. 180ms at the lowest but in the sometime it spiked to 1200ms.. even this afternoon it spiked to 2000ms when in SS at facing US server (Tichondrius, Illidan, etc)
I was at 2400 rating but tanking to 2200 because that ping and go 0-6 in 2 rounds (worst feeling ever)
What server is recommended for pvp?

Scaling Broken?

I was curious if anyone else is having issues with scaling while leveling an alt? I've started a night elf monk and shadowglen was so odd mobs were critting me constantly for more than half my health and currently the Save Yourself quest for Prince Farondis is just impossible. The very first bridge mob melts me in literally 2 seconds.

Investment to start WoW in 2024

After playing Hearthstone for around 8 years and doing the Free WoW Trial years ago, I've seen some War Within stuff and it looks really good. I kind of wanna start WoW or at least play a little bit.

Obviously Id have to buy a subscription and probably the War Within Expansion but is the previous content accessible at all or do I need to buy every single expansion that came before, would that even be worth content wise?

I feel like WoW is such a big thing with players that have been playing for longer than I have been alive that it is so hard to get into. Anything helps :) Thank you!

War Within: what’s still server specific

Once war Within is out, what is there left that will care what server you are on?

  • war bank bank makes sharing items and gold cross server easy
  • cross server guilds

(This is not a complaint, I’m just figuring out all my alts and trying to see if server moves are ever worth doing now?)

why support classes work realy well in FF14 and why augvoker is weird in wow

In FF14 almost every dps or healer has a form of offensive and deffensive utility, they range from 1-6% extra damage for varying durations, but they stack, so you can get a huge damage buff. There are critical hit and direct hit buffs too, crit is obvious, direct hit is a weaker crit, but it occurs more often and can result in a very powerfull critical direct hit. Maybe astrologian is the simplest example, it has divination, 6% damage buff for 15 sec,2 min cd, cards that give 3 or 6% damage for 15 sec, 30 sec cd, 6% if you choose the correct target(its either physical or magical dps). They are off the gcd and you are supposed to weave them in and buff the dps who is about to do their hard hitting combos.

Main reason why it works better in FF14 is the dps output of healers and tanks, sometimes you want to buff the tank, and you never want your healer excluded from any party wide buffs. Tanks do about 60% of the damage of dps, but some of their bursts hit a lot harder than the burst of dps if done properly. Healers do about 40% damage of a dps, this includes their buffs, but their personal damage isn't small either. A full party consists of 2 healers,2 tanks, and 4 dps, optimally every class is different. In this environment support classes can thrive cause its basically ballanced around it, if a healer neglects their dps the enrage phase will last a lot longer or the boss will just oneshot everyone during a dps check. If a dps plays bad the same thing happens. Not saying the game demands 90 parse at least, more like it demands actual effort even from the lowest dps support healer, the astrologian. The gear you can buy from the market board(ff14 auction house) is 640 ilvl, which is kind of the entry level of savage(heroic-mythic) content, tomestone(valor) gear is 650, savage raid gear is 660. Its roughly the same personal dps difference as in wow, optimal rotation matters more than bis gear.

In wow quite a lot of your buffing potential gets limited by the environment, healers just rarely have the luxury to weave in dps spells, so having them buffed is a waste of your buffs as an augvoker. The gap between your top 4 and bottom 4 dps will be huge, and you can't realy choose to buff only the top dps with ebon might, you can only choose 1-2 targets through prescience, the rest will be random, and the range is realy bad. In ff14 you either buff 1 person or the whole raid. The gear and stat demands of classes vary quite a lot, cantrip and trinket damage can only be affected by prescience,mastery and breath.

In spite of everything I realy enjoy the idea of support classes, love the idea of augvoker, but its a very poorly implemented idea not taking the actual game mechanics into consideration. The state of healers and some fundamentally flawed dps specs is another topic. I kind of view augvoker's state as an indication how bad or good the game ballance is, if you want to find a way around not buffing some people cause it will 100% be a dps loss for you then there are many things to be fixed. I dare to hope oracle priest won't be another tragedy, but as it looks at the moment it definitelly won't be cause noone will pick it it looks so bad and boring compared to the super fun looking voidweaver.

Sockets in TWW: Rings can have 2 Sockets, Jewelcrafter will create them, New Primary Gems

Hey everyone,

I got a little more Information from the War Within Alpha that I havent heard elsewhere yet. Jewelcrafting receives some interesting changes in TWW.

The TL:DR of the News:

- Jewelcrafters can now Craft our Sockets for Ring & Necklace

- Rings can have up to 2 Sockets now

- Necklaces lose their third Socket, and are also capped now at 2

- New Primary Gems have added bonus instead of secondary stats (Crit Effect, Mana, Movement)

- New Primary Gems require different Gem Colors in your Gear to stack up their effect

Worries about Warbands

I know this won't be a view held by many but just wanted to give an alternate view point that I haven't seen raised.

I have played since Vanilla and all of my chars were either made in Vanilla (or the expansion they were added). I have never changed anything about my chars (race, faction, etc...). The first thing I do in an expansion is to level them all to max. To explore the game from different perspectives.

Each of my alts is a separate character to me with it's own history and although I'm not a role player they are all very different. I loved the individuality of the covenant system in Shadowlands.

Although adding some good things (e.g. shared bank), I fear that the warband system is going to take away that uniqueness and just turn alts into a "skin" for a single character. A lot of the activities that people complain about being repetitive when doing it on an alt is a big fun part of the game for me and would hate to see that diminished further.

I expect this to get down voted but worth a try.

Got the tusks last night

So a quick background story. I gave up farming for the tusks on my tauren warrior years ago after only a few tries.

Some months ago I made a mag'har warrior to play fury in PvP, and thought it would be fun to make him look like Garrosh, with a character concept that he looks, moves, and sounds like Garrosh, and might even be a more chill and humble version of him from a different universe, but will always deny it when confronted. His name is even an anagram of Garrosh. Some weeks ago I got the updated Gorehowl on a different character, and switched to arms to screw around in PvP.

Last night I decided to run SoO again, having the feeling that this is will definitely the time I'd get the tusks, the same feeling I'd gotten on every single run prior. And it actually dropped! So these are just some fun screenshots I took to celebrate.

Returning pvp’er, am I wasting honor currently?

With season 4 coming out in a couple days am I wasting my honor buying honor gear right now? Will the item level baseline change in season 4 so I have to restart buying new gear with honor again to reach minimum requirement for ranked?

Any legacy raid quests that require reputation like Ahn'Qiraj quests for class sets?

I'd like to take advantage of human diplomacy before they take it away next xpac (I have all classes).
Thanks in advance.

Black screen on launch tried all kinds

I want to preface this with the things I’ve already tried! Reinstalling, uninstalled drivers and installed older ones, running in dx11 and using onboard graphics to run the game.

I’m still getting black screen on launch, I’ve played on this machine loads previously does anyone have any advice on even where to look to find a fix for this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Please make settings & tutorials account-wide

Pretty much title. It's a minor thing, but having to clear all of the popups and select the same settings for every character is a pain.

Please fix.

Is there a graph anywhere that shows the quest breakdown?

I'm interested to know the spread of quests within World of Warcraft. There are thousands of quests, most of which fit into categories like "Kill x" or "Collect x" or "Go here and speak to x". There are a few that are relatively unique, but there certainly can be some stats built around these quest types.

Is there any information out there that represents this?

Removing LFG application limit would make pugging a little less painful

Most people just let applications go unanswered and expire after 5 minutes, leaving that person having 1/5 applications occupied for the duration, while another group could be interested in taking that player. This leads to longer wait times than necessary for everyone involved, so I don't personally see the point of the 5 applications max, it could at least be much higher than 5 if it has to be capped. Currently listing groups at 26-27 range I don't even see a lot of DPS queueing, I suspect the DPS that might queue for my key are already waiting on a response from groups they would rather be in, but they also would be fine joining mine, that's at least the experience I have when Im signing up for groups myself. What are your thoughts on 10/15/20/uncapped LFG applications?

What can I do if I haven’t get the Legendary yet?

Have done Heroic Raid for about 6 times in a row, full clear. Still no legendary. I’m so angry because S4 is starting and I just did the last run possible for that.

Anyway. How can I acquire the legendary in season 4? Admidrassil will come as fated in week 5 and week 6. don’t tell me, I have to wait til then to get it. Can I just run the non fated HC Version in week 1?

What Dragonflight raid boss was the hardest?

Now that Dragonflights raids have been out for a while and with the new patch having us go back to all the raids, which boss do you guys think was the hardest boss this expansion?

Edit: Let’s go with the Mythic version bosses. You can say both pre and post nerfs

Dota 2 sets from World of Warcraft?

So, Dota and WoW are two of my favorite games and maybe I'm seeing something that's not there, but did anyone else notice that some sets seem to be taken straight from WoW?

For example, the new Verdant Swarm set is practically a copy of T17 Druid

https://imgur.com/a/aNXWPID

Or old Warlock set strongly resembles the T5 Warlock

https://imgur.com/a/1pIonno

I think I saw a few more, but I can't remember now. Does anyone know any other similar sets?

WoW: The War Within Physical CE

I'm afraid I already know the answer, but I'll give it a shot anyway. Anyone knows if any physical shops will sell the CE ? I'm fine with the 200€ due to gryphon statue and all, but shipping expenses are like +20%, isn't there a way to get it at a nearby gamestop or else ?
