Transmog

Never actually played that game, mind you. But I watch a lot of Man at Arms and they made the Witcher swords on that show, so I went out and got Destiny since it was going for cheap. I had Witchfury in my collection, but not Destiny, because I never could get that sword to drop. Back in Vanilla, Destiny was one of the swords that you saw on people who were DPS Warriors or Paladins before they’d get into MC or start PvPing heavily for the weapons. I went from the Barbarous Blade to the Arcanite Champion (sword spec ruled back then) and finally picked up my Sulfuras, but I never had Destiny. (I also never got Ashkandi back then, either… it took me six years.)

Yes, this has been ‘Matt natters on about transmog again’ and hopefully you’re used to that by now. I don’t have a PS4 and I can’t get one (or a Switch, for that matter) so you’re stuck with me talking about WoW for a while.

I don’t know if Blizzard is planning to add another class to WoW, and frankly I kind of hope they aren’t. But if they do, it really needs to be a class that wears mail. With the Legion changes, we no longer have classes that start off in one armor type (mail for Paladins and Warriors, leather for Hunters and Shaman) and we now have three cloth classes, three plate classes, four leather classes and only two mail classes. And this bothers me for no adequately understood reason!

Seriously I have no idea why this is a problem for me but it is.

This is the Queue. Let us talk.

I’ve known about this weapon for literally years, and I even knew where to get it, and I just plain never bothered despite having rolled several Gnome warriors back before it existed. And it’s very easy to get, too. Takes like five minutes. I love it most of all because it’s the exact same size as the Argent Avenger, a model I already had, but it’s a two-hander instead of a one hander so I can use it with Titan’s Grip Fury. Seriously, go roll a Gnome Warrior, play it for a few minutes, boom, you’ve got this in your transmog collection.

This is the Queue. Let’s talk about stuff.

In a new blog, the World of Warcraft team discussed some changes to the transmogrification system coming in patch 7.2.

I don't need anything in Ulduar.

"I can easily do X without more than a few hours a week time investment." Any time someone uses a personal example and applies it to an entire game mechanism, they are taking personal experience and applying it universally.

I like my gear to match.

Unlike some members of this site, I have a fashion sense that is unparalleled.

Hey guys.

What, that? Naah, I’m fine. Sure, being horribly masticated and swallowed by a dinosaur was terrifying at first, but after a while I realized that if I let myself miss out on the holiday season simply because a multi-ton carnivore had messily devoured me then it would be seen as awfully inconvenient. So long story short I accepted the res sickness, waited out the timer, and here we all are, doing the Queue two days after Christmas.

Hope you guys all had a good Christmas if you celebrate it. If not, I still hope you had a good weekend. Mine was pretty good – I got eaten by a T-Rex with a Santa Hat on. Also it ate Mitch but I’m pretty sure he’s okay now too.

I love transmogrification in World of Warcraft.
