Content Flood

I'm kind of surprised that 7.1 dropped already.  I mean, what, six weeks in?  How many people have seen Emerald Nightmare?  I haven't.

Haven't been blogging much because reasons.  Perhaps most pertinent to this blog is there isn't a whole lot for me to say about Warcraft at the moment.  Underneath the new shiny, it's the same game it's always been -- go out, kill stuff, collect rewards, repeat until you get bored.

I find Suramar exhausting.  The "withered training" scenario is dull, but apparently we're supposed to keep doing it?  Need to do it to get the "secret" appearance for Truthguard unless I decide I don't care about that.  Which I might.  Having a bad case of the wandering alts right now.  Not sure who I want to play.  Nothing is really grabbing me.

Outlaw is the most fun rogue spec but I'm a big fan of how Subtlety doesn't take falling damage.  I couldn't say why exactly but that's a big deal for me.  But Outlaw, oh, Outlaw has "find treasure" as a special.  As always, I am presented with a difficult choice, because neither of the available options has everything I want.  I suppose that's deliberate design, but as a player who doesn't really like to fiddle with my spec it makes things a bit more tedious.

At least there's nothing about Ret that I miss when I'm playing Prot.  Just my invincible, indestructible flurry of AoE damage.  Oh, I guess I wish I had the blessings under Prot.  But again, can't have everything.

I think my biggest annoyance so far is that they're keeping content "fresh" by simply making it harder -- Mythics and Mythic+?  What the hell is Mythic+?  And for that matter, why can't we use LFG for Mythics?  Asinine.  I mean I recognize the game is and has always been about group content, but to have so much of the ostensibly "solo" game gated behind various dungeons ... sucks, for us antisocial types.

Granted, if I could make friends with other players, this wouldn't be such an issue.

Not sure who I want to level next.  I have a wide variety of characters to choose from, all of whom I'll "need" to level sooner or later.  My lock and my shaman both need leveling for professional purposes, but I'm not super into either one of them.  I think I'm going to use my warrior for an Algalon group, so I'm not going to focus on him.  The two most likely "third alts" right now are my druid and my hunter -- there are lots of hidden goodies on the druid side of things, while the hunter is by far my fastest toon now that Pathfinding has been updated.  Decisions decisions.  Monk, mage, and demon hunter?  Big fat "meh."

The druid's travel form being updated to mount speed is a big plus.  And I really want to get the owlcat form.  So.  Druid next, I guess.

More to come.  Thanks for reading.
