Exploit Vs. Clever Use: the Rextroy Interview What constitues an exploit and a bannable offence, consequences of the ban and more.

The community is split over Rextroy's solo kills, especially the recent ones in Uldir, and the age-old argument over what constitutes an exploit and a bannable offense has returned. Everyone has their own opinion on the matter, but Blizzard has stepped in and given their opinion, with Rextroy receiving a 1 month ban earlier today. We were already in the middle of an in-depth interview with the man himself when the ban hit, so we're going to be splitting in into two, with today's focusing on the ban itself, as well as what he thinks of the exploit vs. creative use of game mechanics issue. We also get to hear about how he could have used the mechanics he found to one-shot Mythic bosses, but instead decided to do it on Normal. Today at 18:57 by Starym 2 comments

Wyrmrest Accord Guild Achieves Realm First KilJaeden Mythic, Disbands Afterwards

You read that title correctly: we may be almost two months into Battle for Azeroth, but a guild managed to down the notorious end boss from the penultimate raiding tier of Legion only yesterday. Today at 17:39 by Zadina 5 comments

The second Raid Finder wing is now open and players of item level 320 or higher can queue up for Crimson Descent to defeat Fetid Devourer, Vectis, and Zul. Today at 17:35 by Stan

Well this is a little sad, or great depending on your outlook - Rextroy, the Paladin who recently soloed both MOTHER and Vectis in Uldir (with Vecits taking all of 0.5 seconds) with very, very creative use of game mechanics, got banned for a month. The Vectis kill in particular seemed to be a sore spot, as it got him reported many times, but there's still no word from Blizzard on what specific incident caused the ban. Today at 14:36 by Starym 23 comments

The latest round of hotfixes includes the aforementioned Azerite trait, Class and PvP tuning. Blizzard also increased the number of Anchor Weed from nodes at rank 2 & 3. Today at 08:14 by Stan 8 comments

A Lot More Azerite Trait Changes for September 25th

We already got some details about tomorrow's upcoming Azerite trait changes, but the notes have been updated and we're getting even more! With additional DPS focused changes and some actual class and spell tweaking in addition to the Azerite trait changes, this is turning into a pretty major class balance pass, with a whooping 46 new trait tweaks: Today at 01:39 by Starym 12 comments

There are some big changes coming to taunts on the 8.1 PTR which players noticed and talked about them on the forums, and today we're getting some official info on the matter. The changes are related to the threat bonus after using taunts and some of them that had players worried are only related to tooltip text, so the extra threat is not actually being removed, but it is getting reduced. The intention seems to be to keep the actual taunt gameplay pretty much the same as it is now so it's slightly weird this is even being tinkered with. In any case check out the full explanation: Today at 01:23 by Starym 3 comments

Anchor Weed, Azerite Trait Scaling, Arcane Torrent GCD Blue Posts - September 24th

It's Monday so it's back to work for the devs, with several issues getting addressed over in the forums and on twitter. From an Anchor Weed harvesting buff, to Azerite traits in PvP getting increased damage when you lower your item level, as well as a long discussion on Arcane Torrent being on the GCD, there's a lot to cover. Yesterday at 22:41 by Starym 7 comments

The latest round of blue posts covers Protection Warrior changes in Patch 8.1, mysteries surrounding the Dreadwake mount promotion, and more. Sep 23, 2018 at 21:22 by Stan 6 comments

Big PvP Class Tuning Coming September 24th

There's a whole lot of changes coming next week, with the planned Azerite trait tuning and now this huge set of PvP class changes. Druids and Shamans get the most attention, as Demon Hunters, Mages, Rogues and Warlocks are left unaffected. The changes are coming on Monday, September 24th.

Azerite Trait Tuning for September 25th + Blue Posts

A lot of Azerite trait talk today as Blizzard have announced a second round of tuning, focusing on tanks and healers, coming with the next reset. We also got a blue post commenting on the imbalance in the traits and the Mythic+ problem with Azerite armor not being available.

There's also some PvP class tuning coming next week which you can check out here. Sep 22, 2018 at 00:13 by Starym 11 comments

Methods WF and Limits W2nd Ghuun Kill Videos

Here come Method and Limit's kill videos! We've already seen Method's kill, but now we get to see the multi-pov edition, showing off all aspects of the roles in the fight. We also get to see the raider reactions, since most of them streamed so the nerdscreams also have a video component this time! Also, keep in mind Limit's kill was done without the benefit of the extra reset's worth of loot from Mythic Uldir. Unfortunately Exorsus have said they wouldn't be making one of their signature videos for this raid, but will be for the next one. Sep 21, 2018 at 22:13 by Starym 1 comment

We're getting some clarifications on the way in which players can and will be able to earn Vicious Saddles in BfA! Sep 21, 2018 at 19:45 by Starym

Rextroy is back with another video after soloing MOTHER on Normal difficulty. This time around, it took him 0.5 seconds to defeat Vectis. It's no longer possible to execute this, because the bug (or clever use of gameplay mechanics?) has been hotfixed. Sep 21, 2018 at 10:58 by Stan 14 comments

Blizzard clarified that Brewfest trinkets should have item level 335 and they're working on a fix to bring them to the correct item level. Sep 20, 2018 at 23:04 by Stan 1 comment

Brewfest 2018 (September 20th - October 6th)

Brewfest is here and we have no updates this year, only Coren Direbrew's trinkets have been adjusted for level 120. Sep 20, 2018 at 13:29 by Stan 7 comments

Uldir Race Day 9: Two 8/8s, Wipe Counts, Nerdscreams and More

Two G'huun kills in one day, with Limit's coming some 6 hours after Method's World First, it seems that lockout extension decision was indeed what cost the US guild the No.1 spot. We also got nerdscreams from both guilds for the entire raid, wipe counts from Method for the kill and more info! Sep 20, 2018 at 08:37 by Starym 1 comment

Method are the first guild in the world to earn the Hall of Fame: G'huun (Horde) achievement. Blizzard clarified how it works and who will be able to use the Famed Slayer title. Sep 19, 2018 at 21:57 by Stan 3 comments

Capn Crackers Pet & Dreadwake Mount Now Available

In celebration of the International Talk Like A Pirate Day, Blizzard added The Dreadwake (mount) and Cap'n Crackers (battle pet) to the game via a hotfix. The mount can be obtained by purchasing 180 days of game time and the pet's available for $10. Sep 19, 2018 at 20:04 by Stan 11 comments

Congratulation Tweets, Hall of Fame for Methods WF

As you'd expect, Method's kill got a LOT of attention, with over 180,000 people watching through all their streams on Twitch, and they also got many congratulations from all over the place, including WoW devs and the official account itself: Sep 19, 2018 at 18:57 by Starym 5 comments

And it's Method with the World First! Re-clearing took a while and they took some time to do a Heroic as well, but as soon as they returned to G'huun they were on their way to the kill, taking only a couple of hours on the boss to down it, showing just how important that extra loot and Vantus runes are. We'll also be adding a clip and the full kill from the stream asap, so stay tuned for that! Sep 19, 2018 at 18:25 by Starym 5 comments

Ghuun WF Almost Here! Method Sub 2%, Limit 1%!

The race is getting insanely tense, as Method have re-cleared and we found out Limit have been having multiple sub 1% tries and their decision to extend the lockout and only progress on G'huun without getting the extra loot may have cost them. However, Method are only getting under 2% after their re-clear so it's still anybody's race as Limit may also be progressing again after sleeping. Limit's attempts: Sep 19, 2018 at 17:34 by Starym 6 comments

MDI Europe champions exceL Esports, formely known as Kjell's Angels, were the first team to complete Atal'Dazar +15 in time and here's a new video of their run with multiple PoVs. Their line up includes Ashine, our Subtlety Rogue writer. Sep 19, 2018 at 14:50 by Stan 1 comment

Uldir Race: 4.1% Ghuun Lives to the Second Week

It was a very intense day in the progress race as the US reset came and Method pushed really hard as Limit faced a tough choice. We also got to see a 4.1% attempt and World First and second Mythrax videos! Sep 19, 2018 at 07:18 by Starym 1 comment
