What Is In Store?


Friday, we are here and wondering how our weekends will unfold. So after we stop thinking about that we settle here and wonder what is up for this week's Reader Post. Well we haves something from Golden Yak regarding their thoughts on how the rest of the Legion expansion will play out. It is well thought out and might even come true, but you know I just love the speculation. So here it is

With 7.1 approaching which will continue the story begun in 7.0. I have some ideas about how the rest of Legion might unfold, based on speculation and tid-bits we've gotten about the future:

End of 7.0/Nighthold: Gul'dan tries to summon Sargeras's spirit and infuse it into Illidan's body in the Nighthold, turning Illidan's body into the new Avatar of Sargeras. We manage to stop it, killing Gul'dan and banishing Sargeras, but Illidan's body is lost, pulled into the Nether.

7.1: Helya is slain, breaking the curse over the Halls of Valor. Odyn and his Valarjar are freed and join the battle against the Burning Legion, who are bringing through troops in greater numbers than ever.

7.2: Azeroth's forces are barely holding against the Burning Legion, who have constructed a massive demon city on the Broken Shore around the Tomb of Sargeras. As if things weren't grim enough, a strange new land-mass suddenly rises south of the Broken Isles - Ny'alotha, ancient city of the Old Gods, where the Titanforged bound and chained the Old God N'Zoth. N'Zoth's bindings are finally failing, and the Old God is about to break free. He summons his strongest servants to Ny'alotha, including the naga, to defend him until he can break his bindings completely. The Alliance and the Horde are sent to destroy N'Zoth while the Titanforged and the Valarjar hold the line against the Legion. The forces of Azeroth suffer great casualties just reaching N'Zoth's prison, and just as N'Zoth is about to be destroyed, Azshara appears and offers an alternative - Azeroth is on the verge of being overrun by the Burning Legion, and is in desperate need of allies. Rather than destroy N'Zoth in a costly battle, Azshara suggests N'Zoth be set loose - N'Zoth agrees to turn all of his attention against the Legion and ignore Azeroth's mortals, for now. Knowing that N'Zoth wants the world to survive (if only so he can corrupt it later), Azeroth's mortals make the decision to release him - likely this will be done by someone hinted at in Il'gynoth's whispers, possibly Magni, Khadgar, Jaina, or whoever. There's candidates. N'Zoth's bindings are broken and the Old God is unfettered - true to his word, N'Zoth directs the naga and the faceless ones to assault the Burning Legion, ignoring the Alliance and the Horde. Azshara retreats.

End of Expansion: we push through the Tomb of Sargeras to Argus, meet up with the Army of Light, and destroy the place, killing Kil'jaden in the process (and Archimonde too, if he's even still alive). We come back to Azeroth, but the final battle occurs at the Tomb, with Illidan's body transformed into the new Avatar of Sargeras who attacks us there. During the encounter, Azeroth herself uses the five Pillars of Creation to transform someone (I'm guessing Jaina) into her own avatar - the Avatar of Azeroth joins us against the Possessed Illidan, driving Sargeras' soul out of Illidan's body. Sargeras' spirit then takes over his old avatar within the depths of the Tomb as one last ditch effort to attack us. Players + Azeroth's avatar battle Sargeras until Illidan's soul retakes his body and he becomes the Champion of Light. We destroy Sargeras, and Illidan goes off into the universe to gather the rest of the Army of Light and the naaru to begin preparing for the battle against the Void Lords. Meanwhile, we've got to stay behind and deal with Azshara and N'Zoth, who are missing, presumed up to no good. I figure this would be a good time for a great seas expansion or even an underworld expansion, going into the depths to try and stop N'Zoth from burrowing to the worldsoul within Azeroth.

Well? I think this could run pretty close, but as with anything the things closer to the current time are most likely to be the things that turn out to be right, but as you move further from the current point in time then most likely not to be true. With that in mind, enjoy your weekend!

The Dark Riders

Monday and the start of the week is upon us. Which means while we are all depressed we need something to distract us. This week we have Nixxiom's new Machinima "The Dark Riders". His description will do it more justice than mine ever will so here it is

"Legion is out so that means you better get down to Deadwind Pass and get your artifact weapon! Just be careful, mighty hero... For the Dark Riders will be on your trail the entire way, bringing horror and chaos in their wake as they chase after you. Have fun!"



Well?

Ask Gauss


Sunday! It is the end of the weekend and it is time for some questions to be answered. So without going on some crazy intro to how I will be answering some questions here we go.

Is Hearthstone too RNG?

I think people are thinking too much about the Yogg play which has been taking over as of late. Old Gods has added a lot of randomness to the game while making it more exciting to watch, but it is frustrating for players. I think Blizzard has realized this and we see with Karazhan the move away from the insanely random to more strategic and skillful random. So really I don't think it is too random. It would be if they continued in the same direction for card making.

Is Legion going to hold the player base?

That is something we will have to see. Warlords saw a big boom upon release. Not nearly as big as Legion, but still a significant boom. They lost it after the first major patch so I believe that is why Blizzard is going big with the Karazhan patch. They know how much the older players love Karazhan like they love Illidan lore. I think it will hold for that the question is about after it.

Grats on your 7 years of blogging.

Thanks couldn't be done without all of you.

There you have it this week's questions all answered. As always thank you to everyone who sent something in this wouldn't even be possible without all of you taking part. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Future Races


Friday, and with Friday comes thoughts of the weekend and well the Reader Post around here. If you were not aware there is a new Warcraft expansion out. What comes with every expansion? Ideas for the next expansion. Most of the time it always has to do with new races or classes. Since a new class was added with Legion it comes to the idea of new races being added in the next expansion. Mace has plenty ideas for that going forward. So have a read.

Is it me or do people don't like the idea of Vrykul being playable? or don't want them alliance? Vrykul sound very horde, victory or death is so orc like, they'd fit well into the horde, but I think people don't like Vrykul on the Horde cause it's another Alliance based race and as such feel they should be on the alliance while the horde should be looking at fresh new race concepts like ethereals or horde related ones like Ogres or even Arrakkoa.. but I think it's a bit silly, because we shouldn't view every body in terms of Horde and Alliance just because a member of a race is in one faction doesn't mean all have to be. Take Nightborne, they are a different kind of Night Elf, they don't have to join the Alliance, they could join the Horde, didn't the Blood Elves leave the alliance to join the horde too, so they switched sides. What does it matter if Vrykul or Kvaldir are on Horde or Alliance? you still get to play them if they become playable.

However from where I stand, the Kvaldir are looking sweet with the forsaken. The Vrykul initially didn't like the humans, but they followed the Human Lich King, and of course now it's the a strong human connection to the Halls of Valor - the Vrykul just respect strength, so they'll be fine if humans show strength, which they always do in wow - it's not like the alliance has weak races, miniature, but not weak. Well Draenei and Night Elves aren't miniature. Vrykul and Kvaldir would be good counterparts as sub-races. Even as full races, they could introduce them both. But you need something like that.

I'm not sure Blizzard will ever do a Pandaren again, if a race is going to be on both sides, they are going to have to also be physically distinct. So if we had night elves on both sides, Night Elves would be on alliance, Nightborne on horde. Vrykul on Alliance Kvaldir on Horde, they'd only do it like that. They wouldn't do something like High Elves on alliance, Blood Elves on horde, because they look the same, unless they maybe gave Nightborne on both sides, which I've just stated they don't want to do.

But who knows, they are entitled to change their mind. I would say the best option is sub-races, and do to races in next expac what they did to classes, so you have racial halls i.e. capitals, mini quests and race themed quests that explore the new sub-races and the role of the race in the new expansion. WoW races are big enough to each be factions on their own.. think about it. Look at the family associated with each race

Draenei: Broken, Man'ari Eredar (Illidari), Draenei Eredar, Lost Ones
Orcs: Half-orcs, Mok'nathal, Mag'har, Dragonmaw, Blackrock, Hellfire 
Humans: Half-elves, Vrykul, Azotha, Stormwind Human, Kul'Tirasian, Gilnean, Alterac
Forsaken: Undead, undead half-elf, Kvaldir, Undead Azotha
Worgen: Night Elf worgen, human worgen, blackhowl worgen
Troll: Darkspear Troll, Zandalari Troll, Drakkari Troll, Raventusk Forest Troll or Amani
Dwarf: Ironforge dwarf, Dark Iron, Wildhammer, Frost Dwarf, Earthen
Tauren: Yaungol, Tauren, Taunka, Highmountain
Gnome: Mechagnome, Gnome, Leper Gnome
Goblin: Gilgoblin, Bilgewater/Steamwheedle/Blackraider/Venture Co etc cartels, Tinker Goblins
Night Elf: Nightborne, Night Elf, Highborne, Cenarion (dryad/keepers)
Blood Elf: Half Elf, High Elf, Blood Elf, Darkfallen

Each group has at least 3, some have like 5 or more, this is incredible diversity in each race, notice how there are several cultures within each racial groups, differing looks physiological variations - they are diverse enough to be factions of their own, they need to use this, and whiles all will not be plalyable, they can have a role in the affairs of the race they are associated, whether as friends or enemies. e.g. High Elf will always be part of the Blood Elf group or vice versa, regardless of whether they are friends or enemies. or even on different factions, every time you see High elves around you are seeing Blood Elf lore expanded and vice versa 

It would be nice if Blizzard really made use of this, and you saw a lot more interaction, i love what they've done with classes, if they repeat the same with races, that would be really cool.

Well thoughts?

As always thanks to everyone who submitted a post, this would not be possible without all of you. Enjoy your weekend!

WoW Craft Legion

So here we are Monday and in my neck of the woods it is a holiday. In my case that means that I don't have to worry about my weekend being over yet, you on the other hand may have to. Also if you were some how living under a rock and didn't know Legion has been out for a week then this showcase from Carbot may not make too much sense otherwise enjoy!



Enjoy the rest of your long weekend if that is a thing for you!

Ask Gauss

Sunday! The day where we reflect on what we didn't do on the weekend. Also time to be disappointed with the newest Fear The Walking Dead episode and lastly time to see the questions I am answering for the week. So let's get to that.

Successful launch for Legion don't you think?

Truthfully I cannot remember a WoW expansion which has been so calm without much drama. During BC it was all about mob spawns, during Wrath it was how the zones were too large and players had to travel to far between quests, Cata it was all about how Vashj'ir was the worst possible zone ever created, Mists people couldn't stop complaining about Panadas and how they were ruining the lore of the game, and Warlords people just couldn't shut up about not being able to fly.

No comes Legion and even though the last expansions were minorities complaining about those things they were loud. Now all you hear about is how much everyone is loving the leveling experience in every way.

Are you liking what you are hearing about Civilization VI?

Actually I am loving everything I am hearing about it. I thought after V they would have to do something different to keep from entering the sports game level of "game changing". They did that by creating a space civilization adventure which was fun, but did lack some of the traditional elements that made the game fun. Going back to the traditional game and modifying features to make them more strategic and skillful which makes the game much more fun on the replay and on the multiplayer side. So bring on October 21st.

Is Legion the last expansion?

Are you one of those people who ask that every expansion?

There you have it this week's questions all answered. Hopefully you got something out of it in one way or another. Now feel free to enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Simply Awesome


Thursday! This is normally the day where I go off about something that has been bothering me. Or go off about someone who has been saying something and it is driving me insane. So what is it this week? Well really it is none of those things.

As everyone knows World of Warcraft's new expansion was just released and really I have heard nothing bad about it at all. People all around the world are thrilled with it. One thing though that when I first heard about it that I wasn't completely on board about has surprised me.

Order Halls are something that seemed like an interesting idea, but the extent they have gone to make these what they are is something special. They make you feel like a true hero like you are what you always wanted to be in this game. After all you were the hero all these years that has killed the worlds biggest villains and really what did you get from it? Well you get a fancy weapon specific too you and a bunch of people that are looking up to you now.

The quests to get these weapons are fun and make you work for it. They intertwine the stories of the past to what is going on right now. Something I never thought Blizzard would do. They are above and beyond all of my expectations and that just isn't my inner fanboy talking.

Who knows maybe it is just everyone I have talked to or heard things from. If so please let me know. This really has the making of some great story telling coming our way, and I for one am beyond excited about it.

I Would Never Again Grovel For A Place In This World

So Legion is here and what is the big deal everyone is talking about? Well that is all what this week's list is about. My top 5 things which have been added for Legion. Have a look.

5. PvP Online Abilities



In Legion if you were not aware you can unlock new talents with honor earned. This is something Blizzard has shied away from over the years making abilities PvP only but it does make it much easier to balance on the whole.

4. Artifacts



So instead of doing trying to please everyone by giving them the same legendary or allow classes to fell more important than others by offer specific class questlines and legendaries we have Artifacts. Weapons that are iconic and will be customizable so players will have the chance to feel somewhat original.

3. The Emerald Dream



Lore buffs have known about this place for years. For years we also expect and expansion based on it. I was always concerned that the content within the dream wouldn't be enough to support an entire expansion and in the end I guess I was right. Everyone will be able to step inside the dream through the raid instance The Emerald Nightmare. So get ready.

2. Class Orders



So remember all those suggestions and complaints about Garrisons? Well Blizzard seems to have taken them to heart with Class Orders. As it stands now everything most people liked about the Garrison will be within the Order and everything that seemed boring and tiresome will be gone.

1. The Lore



Now for those who know me this is to be expected. This is the Burning Legion we are talking about. There is so many iconic things we could be seeing and I just cannot wait to be a part of it. I'm ready are you?

There you have it, the best things coming in Legion as according to myself. Do you agree? As always let me know it one way or another.

You Fail At Being Ready For Legion If...


Fail Day, and not just any fail day. It is Legion Launch day. By the time you are reading this you are probably already leveling yourself up and just realizing that it is morning. These things happen don't they. So with that in mind there always is someone who isn't ready for something so let's get ready for it.

You Fail At Being Ready For Legion If...

  • You didn't take part in any of the pre-expansion events
  • You are wondeirng how everyone is playing a Demon Hunter
  • You didn't setup your UI before launch
  • You have no up to date addons
  • You have not read over any of the skill changes
  • You don't know what Order Halls are
  • You have no idea who the Legion are
  • You are wondering where Varian is
  • You are also wondering where Vol'jin went
  • You decided to main a Ret Pally this expansion
  • You can't wait to see the new Garrison
  • You are wondering where the Karazhan raid is

And Finally

  • You have no intention of playing it

There you have it this week's edition of fail. Hope you all enjoyed it and are all enjoying your time with the new expansion.

Sunday, August 28, 2016

Ask Gauss


Sunday! Which means it is time for some questions to be answered while you wonder where your weekend went. So why don't we get right to it.

Legion is almost here. What do you think?

I know this normally is always said, but I think this is the most anticipated expansion and it has nothing to do with the content announced it has to do with the Pre-Patch content. This seems to have social media in an uproar and excited. Everywhere I look people are excited and getting ready to go. Now this could be because so many people have unsubscribed because of the end of WoD, and now are excited to get back at it. Whatever it is everyone is ready.

Will Legion improve WoW subs?

Well I think the subs will definitely increase when the expansion launches and will continue to increase towards the Karazhan patch. The main thing from there is how the following content will flow and how well it is received. Warlords had great opening content, but then it faded and people loss interest because of the repetition so as long as they learned their lesson they I think it will be in good shape. The lore itself may actually keep people coming and staying to this expansion just like Wrath did. 

Do you think there will be a Fear The Walking Dead game?

As long as it is not as bad as the show.

There they are the questions for the week. Thank you to everyone who sent something in this week as it would not be possible without you doing so. Now you have permission to enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Horde Vs Alliance Will Always Be


First off I want to state this post will have spoilers associated with it in regards to the pre expansion cinematics that occur for Legion. Again there is spoilers so if you continue beyond this point and don't want them it is entirely your fault.

So in the pre expansion cinematics we see 2 big events. We see the Alliance witnessing the Horde archers lead by Sylvanas leave their posts while the Alliance are down below fighting the Legion. This is from the Alliance perspective and the ending result is what appears to be Varian Sacrificing himself the end result being Gul'dan blowing him up with Fel energy.

The second perspective is that of the Horde where we see Vol'jin stabbed along with Thrall and Baine being beaten back and in serious trouble with the Legion onslaught. Sylvanas calls for a retreat to protect them. The end result is Vol'jin dying to his wounds and Sylvanas becoming the Warchief of the Horde.

Ok so what is the problem then? Well we saw in the original Legion Cinematic that the Horde and the Alliance are on the same page fighting together to face a bigger threat. It ending with Varian saying instead of the typical "FOR THE ALLIANCE" with a "FOR AZEROTH". This is important because it focuses on the two factions being united for the first time in a long time. Now what many are complaining about is that these 2 pre Legion cinematics take everything away from that.

Why? Well the Alliance thinks the Horde left them for dead. They will be blamed for the death of their king. They do not know that Horde did so only to protect their leaders. Now it could be argued they should have stayed regardless, but really was there a point in letting everyone die? To me if you are outnumbered then you have to make the bad call. Problem is this appears to be something it is not. The Horde may be in other circumstances be able to explain, but with the likes of Jaina and Genn in charge this is not going to be possible.

So why do this whole united thing? Well really I believe there needs to be tension between the Horde and the Alliance to make Warcraft, Warcraft. It is the central focus to the universe and no matter what it will always be there. There can be people on both sides of the conflict who connect and trust one another, but it must always be there. So they did this in a way that the factions are united, but each side will really blame the other for each leader dying. So really it just comes down to us the players living with the fact what must be in place in the world.

You Fail At Legion Pre Patch If...


Fail Day! Yes here we are again doing what we do best on Tuesdays. That being making sure when others know they are failing. So what is the topic this week you ask? Well the Legion Pre Patch stuff has been going on for a bit now so I thought it was time to check in with everyone with it. So here we go.

You Fail At The Legion Pre Patch If...

  • You haven't taken part in any invasions
  • You are not collecting Nethershards
  • You have no pieces of the Fel armor
  • You have not gotten yourself a Felbat pup
  • You have not picked up any Fel weapons
  • You have not activated additional dialogue from any of the demons
  • You have not yet turned yourself into a dreadlord
  • You haven't gone to Ulduar, Karazhan, or Dalaran
  • You haven't used any of the secret vendors
  • You have haven't started the Broken Shore questline
  • You haven't completed either scenario 
  • You have not seen the "deaths" that occur during the questlines ending cinematics

And Finally

  • You haven't taken part

There you have it this week's edition of fail. Hope you all enjoyed it in some way or another and good luck with completely everything before launch.

Cooking With Gul'Dan

Monday! Yes, you wasted your weekend doing nothing but watching the Olympics. Now you can get yourself ready for a week of No Man's Sky but before you do that why not enjoy some cooking with Gul'Dan brought to you by Duch MMO.


Hungry?

Sunday, July 24, 2016

Ask Gauss


Sunday! Yes your weekend is ending and you really didn't accomplish much of anything. Well just think you really aren't the only one. So instead of thinking about something else to ease into today's post why don't we just get to the questions.

Do you really think Blizzard will change the servers whose RP was effected?

I think they may look into it. They are also trying to think of ways to benefit things from everyone. Over the years there have been things that have been changed for the betterment of the playerbase as a whole. Sadly the RP community while there are people that take part the larger community is more concerned with population and how that effects their gameplay. It is much better to go with this solution then forced server transfers. Just think of the uproar if that was being forced upon people.

Why do you think people are so obsessed with Pokemon Go?

People want what others don't have. Knowing that you don't have everything you could have when you apply it to a gaming atmosphere just makes it a recipe for craziness. Not to mention the card craze that took place years ago now has all those people playing the game. They know how to go the extra mile in terms of crazy. I do think it will die down, but as always these things take time.

Are you enjoying the new patch?

I have yet to make time to do so yet. Will get to it eventually though no worries

There they are this week's questions. Hope you all got something out of them in some way or another. As always thanks to everyone who sent something in it would not be possible to do this without you. Now feel free to enjoy the rest of your weekend.

On The Flightpath

Wednesday! Yes, it is here. As always in Gauss land it is time to create a list about something that I feel is somewhat relevant. With the new Legion Pre-Expansion patch out and all the new things that have been added to the game I thought it would be the perfect time to go over what I thought have been the best features added to World of Warcraft over the years. So here goes.

5. Phasing


Having the world change based upon the quests you have done is something that you never would have thought possible when the game first launch. We were brought this through the the questing experience through Wrath of the Lich King and now it is hard to imagine the game without it.

4. Transmogrification


For years players suffered through unmatching armor and weapons, and dreamed of being able to use the sets and weapons of old. Blizzard was afraid having such a system would lead to a decline in art design in the future. What it did though is allowed the artists to design things more specific and tailor to tastes instead of trying to please everyone with each set, something I believe change everything for the better.

3. LFD


Remember when you had to run to an instance and actually go inside it? Also when you had to group with everyone from your server and were looking for specific people in trade to get it done? Well that was the case before LFD came to be and let you queue from anywhere. This made you see the world less, but it did make for faster completion and less just standing around.

2. PvP System


Before the PvP system people hardly fought anyone of the opposing faction especially on PvE servers. This changed and gave everyone motivation to do so. Sure at first it was a grind, but this system lead to Battlegrounds, and later Arenas think about how much different the game would be without it.

1. Flying


In Classic you took flight paths everywhere. Some of the paths being as long as 15 minutes. Sure you got to see a lot of the countryside. It did though waste your time when you could be doing better things. There have been complaints with it over the years, but the overall result of it being added has been positive.

There you have it the best features that have been added to WoW over the years in my opinion. I assume you have others so as always let me know one way or another.

You Failed At Garrison's If...


Fail Day! Yes here we are on yet another Fail Day. This fail day is a different though, because you cannot fail at this anymore so now it will be forever in the back of your mind. So here we go.

You Failed At Garrison's If...

  • You figured you had more time
  • Your entire game time was spent inside them
  • You never finished the Garrison Campaign
  • You never took advantage of the resources
  • You didn't turn in the rest of your workorders
  • You forgot to exchange all your mats for gold
  • You didn't make your mission table part of your routine
  • You never got any monuments
  • You had a gathering profession
  • You didn't get your jukebox toy
  • You made a plan to rely on them in the future
  • You are ever going to have gold problems

And Finally

  • You don't want to burn it to the ground

There you have it this week's edition of fail. Hopefully you are not in this boat.

Silenced


So it is Thursday. So I really should be finding something to go off about. Actually it is something that has been on my mind for a couple days. For those who are not aware, Blizzard is introducing something know as the silence penalty in World of Warcraft. It is as follows

Following the Legion pre-expansion, any player who is reported multiple times under the Spam or Abusive Chat categories will, after investigation, receive an account-wide silence penalty. While this penalty is active, the silenced player will find that their ability to chat with others is greatly limited.

If you would like to read the specifics and the whole article you can by clicking here

So what does this mean for Pi? As you can assume I am being asked. Well for those that don't know I have been using Pi for years to moderate trade chat when people have asked for it. I oblige as to not spam. Now that has never stopped people from reporting me for spam or any such thing. Does leave me to wonder if I would qualify for something like this though. Since I know reporting for such an act will happen. I am sure any real investigation and a non bot oriented one wouldn't have nay problems. I guess we won't know though until it happens.

Hopefully Pi will be forever an item that will be part of trade. I don't know if the Horde of Llane would ever be the same without it.

You Fail At Being Ready For Legion Pre-Patch If...


Fail Day! Yes it is Tuesday already, and all WoW fans are waiting for the highly anticipated expansion of Legion. What all WoW followers know though is before an expansion there is always a pre-expansion patch which sets you up for the expansion. So let's see how you could fail at it shall we?

You Fail At Being Ready For Legion Pre-Patch If...

  • You have not pre downloaded it
  • You believe all your addons will work correctly
  • You don't know how some people are able to play demon hunters
  • You haven't looked into the Broker Shore invasions
  • You have no clue who the Burning Legion is
  • You have decided not to look into your class changes
  • You have no worries because your garrison gold will still be rolling in
  • You are not excited about the revamped transmog system
  • You are still working towards something in your PvP season
  • You are wondering when the plague event starts
  • You are not leveled to 100 yet for some reasons
  • You have not renewed your subscription 

And Finally

  • You have no idea what I am talking about

There you have it this week's edition of fail. Hope you all aren't failing too much.

Ask Gauss

Sunday! Yes, it is true your weekend is coming to and end and you are in denial. Don't worry probably close to everyone reading this is feeling the exact same way. So before you get all depressed about it, why not check out the questions for the week for this week's Ask Gauss. Here we go.

So pre-Legion patch is coming will you be hoping back on WoW for it?

I will be don't know the exact date to give you all for it, but I will give you all a heads up when it is being done. I am actually pretty excited for this expansion. The lore of it at least and where everything is going. I will not be going back to raiding for anything like that, but there may be city raids and such to get your fix in some way or another. As always stay tuned for all of that.

Is it really worth while for Blizzard to sue these hackers?

I don't think they can win, but doing so along with the bans so they care what is going on in their game. Things like this getting very complicated when there is eSports involved with it. They don't want the pro scene to have unworthy players and they also don't want such players to get through the cracks. Also showing players there is a hardline to cheaters is a step in the deterrent direction of all of this. So while I don't think they can win and I believe these hackers are part of a pointless endeavor of virtual cookie collection things are going about the right way.

How is Nintendo still a good gaming company?

How is it not?

There you have it this week's questions all package up for you. As always thank you to everyone who sent something in if I answered it on here or not. This would not be possible without all of your support.

Enjoy what is left of your weekend!

Who Will Be The Big Baddie?


Friday. You know that end of the week day where we wonder what we are going to do with yourself for the weekend. While you are in the stage of deep contemplation with that you can read this week's Reader Post. This week it comes from Kazezoku and his thoughts on possible final tier possible bosses. Have a read.

Anyway, so ya... as the title suggests, what do you guys think will be the final raid boss for legion? Reply with who it is obviously and why you think its him/her based off what you have seen in the recent lore in the legion beta.

For me, I'm actually just gonna spitball here and give a few stabs in the dark:

Kil'jaeden: Mainly because the expansion is literally the word legion... not only that but i'm thinking he's probably pretty upset with Archimonde's failure, and either see's us as a potential threat since we were even able to woop archimonde's butt. That or Archimonde may have just told him how real the threat actually is, and therefore may get involved himself. Lets not forget the first time we flushed him back down the sunwell, in plateau. At any rate, they got some cool raid bosses lined up so far, and lezz be honest... a full scale Kil'jaeden with legs and everything as a raid boss would be... amazing.

Azshara: Got super hyped for the eye of Azshara when I heard about it, found out it was a dungeon and then was like... "really blizz"? But then found out she isn't actually in there herself, so that was refreshing. Naga or not... she is the queen of freaking night elves back in the day 10k years ago... there is gonna be some hefty power that comes along with her. What would be epic is if she is at least in a raid, even if she isnt the main boss at the end, which leads me to my final end game boss guess...

N'zoth: So... we all know this bamf has yet to make an appearance, and is last majorly heard of after making the deal with Azshara back then to save herself and her people, to which they become naga. The finally thing he says to her was "and for what we grant you, when the time comes, you will serve us well." Not only that but if we follow the current expansion old god trend, i.e. Vanilla (C'thun), BC (nothing), Wrath (Yogg), Cata (nothing), Mists (Y'sharaj), WoD (nothing), Legion (N'zoth?). 

Anyway... I'm going to leave Sargeras out of this, mainly because he is too major a figure in wow lore for me to really expect him comming over this soon. Not only that but sargeras getting involved in an expansion makes me feel like wow is on the downfall for its expansions, and they have stated that there is so far more future xpacs to come 

Of course this is all speculation and hopes

There you have it something to think about for the weekend. So now you can start enjoying it.
