Recommended Posts

The Mechafun Arcade has been added to the Darkmoon Faire in Visions of N'Zoth, allowing you to play some of your favorite mini-games for the duration of the event.

How to Get There

On your way to the Cauldron of Rock, take the first turn right. The Mechaful Arcade can be found just behind the Darkmoon Faire roller coaster.

Unlock the Darkmoon Arcade Console for the day (requires 1 Darkmoon Game Token Darkmoon Game Token).

Then, you can choose between one of six mini-games. All games will place a buff on you. Right-click it to stop playing a game.

Hexsweeper

The game is a throwback to the popular Minesweeper video game.

This mysterious arcane console lights up under the touch of your hand. Page after page of instructions flitter across the central panel. The language is unclear, but the iconography is self-apparent: Lots of skulls.

This is HexSweeper, a most dangerous game wherein one must traverse an arcane minefield and identify all of the booby-trapped areas. Instant death rewards the slightest misstep.

You wonder why anyone would want to do this for fun.

Rules

You do your best to interpret the pictographs and ignore the persistent warnings about instantaneous death. The HexSweeper console will generate a hexagonal grid, sensitive to one's footsteps. Several of the hexagons are "mined" and will obliterate the player. Alternatively, stepping on a "safe" tile will reveal the count of adjacent mines. The object is to "clear" the field by revealing all of the safe tiles and by marking all of the dangerous ones with the little white flags provided. It's unclear why the game feels it necessary to murder players who step on the wrong tile. Multiple levels are available.

Click a tile once to place the flag or twice when you're not 100% sure there's a mine (a gray question mark "?" will appear above the selected field).

If you step on the wrong tile, you will die (Stepped on a Mine Stepped on a Mine) revealing all the mines.

Rune Matching

Rules

The rules are simple! Match 3 or more runes for points. More than 3 and you get bonus points! If you manage to get 100,000 points, you unlock an additional level of difficulty. If this is set up correctly...

The following difficulties are available:

The game can be reset anytime by clicking on the cube and you win when you earn 100,000 points.

BULL-E (throwback to WALL-E)

Rules

The idea is simple. The game is hard! Uncross the wires to fix poor BULL-E's circuits. There is only one difficulty level: Pretty easy to insane-o hard! Give up and you have to start from the beginning!

The game gets increasingly difficulty depending on the number of wires you uncross.

Barrels o' Fun

Rules

Keep your eye on the barrel! One barrel will flash at the start of each round. Remember which one it is, and pick it when they're all done moving around.

Click on Start a Round Start a Round and remember which barrel flashed at the beginning of a round to move to the next round.

The number of barrels and their speed will increase with rounds.

Remembery (also known as Shell Game, a Tortollan Seekers World Quest in BfA)

Rules

Flip the shells. Remember where they are, and match the pairs.

Only one difficulty of Remembery is available.

Totemic Matrix

To develop harmony with the elements, one must study and understand the interactions between them. The totem matrix is an ancient training method, a puzzle that will challenge one's mind and spirit.

The object of the exercise is to water totems. Simply touch a totem to invoke it. Know that all things are connected, a lesson invaluable in this puzzle... as in life!

Rules

You will be presented with a five-by-five matrix of elemental totems. Some are fire, some water. Your objective is to change them all to water totems. Simply touch a totem to flip its elemental alignment. Ah, but the elements are connected to one another! Flipping a totem will also change the four totems adjacent to it. Through patience, trial, and error, you should be able to coax all of the totems into water totems. You can reset the puzzle if you fond yourself completely lost.

The goal is to transform all fire into water totems. Multiple stages are available.

      Kalimdor Cup is just the beginning. Based on datamined icons from the latest 10.1.5 PTR build, we're getting Dragonriding cups in other locations, including Outland, Pandaria, Draenor, the Shadowlands, and more.
      The latest Patch 10.1.5 build adds new calendar icons that hint at the arrival of new holidays in the form of Dragonriding Races (or cups) available in old expansion zones:
      Broken Isles (Legion)

      Draenor (Warlords of Draenor)

      Eastern Kingdoms (Vanilla)

      Great Sea Islands (Kul Tiras & Zandalar)

      Northrend (Wrath of the Lich King)

      Pandaria (Mists of Pandaria)

      Shadowlands (Shadowlands)

      The no heal comp strikes again as Psy and their group cleared a Mythic +24 dungeon without a healer. Congrats!
      Placeholder for tweet 1665035696745136129 While we have no VoD of the run, the no healer comp sparked some interesting discussion on Reddit regarding current class balance. Some think off-healing needs to be nerfed, while others think the group is actively handycapping themselves by not having a healer by doing 100K less DPS when compared to a +23 run with a healer.

      Rextroy discovered a completely broken and random interaction between Azerite and a Retribution Paladin talent that resulted in a +840% Movement Speed increase.
      Background Information
      This is, as stated NOT a hack, I have and will never hack ingame.
      But it is a really odd... one of THE weirdest interaction I have experienced so far ingame, because somehow the Azerite Trait "Indomitable Justice".
      Made back in Battle for Azeroth, meant to increase your damage on Judgement depending on the enemy health. Will bug out the "speed portion" of Judgment of Justice.
      Judgement of Justice is a new talent added in 10.0.7. That adds some damage to Judgment, and also your movement speed.
       
      It is most likely coded in a way so that the 10% damage bonus to Judgment, overlaps with the speed part of the talent. And Indomitable Justice, that boost the damage of Judgment, just hypercharges the talent.
      I went with a build to have access to as many Judgments as possible, and as often as possible! With a haste and speed set my speed maxed out at around 840% (You ARE able to get it higher but that requires BIS azerite pieces (ilvl wise) aswell as more base speed.
      Talking about the Azerite pieces, the speed scales with their ilvl. The best ones to get is from Eternal Palace mythic, since the ilvl will be fairly high and it has lots of potential "Indomitable Justice" drops.
      This speed is limited to content where Azerite is enabled, so you cannot use it in any "serious" PVE or PvP content!
      Please note that all the bugs have been reported and fixed before Rextroy uploaded the video.

      We're comparing raid spec popularity with average overall DPS in Patch 10.1. Find out how your spec performs!
      Here's an interesting figure created by Reddit user AttitudeAdjusterSE who compared raid specialization popularity with overall DPS from Mythic difficulty parses in Patch 10.1. The data is taken from WarcraftLogs from the last two weeks. 
      Figure
      Frost Death Knight is in an interesting position. While the number of parses is minimal, their overall DPS in the highest. Frost Death Knights are followed by Devastation Evokers, Demonology Warlocks, Elemental Shamans, Affliction Warlocks, and Shadow Priests.
