Transmog

Now, I don't play casters much as a rule, and that means I've never had to stare at a wand and think I wish I could transmog this into a mace or a sword, but I am in general supportive of all sorts of transmogrification options.

One of my favorite pieces of game design in World of Warcraft is pet battles.

There are games that I play because they are familiar and require no real thought. Games I’ve played and played and played and played. Mass Effect 2 and 3. All the Dragon Age games, especially 2 and Inquisition. Diablo 3. Definitely Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. And while I love new games and can’t wait for a bunch of them to come out, right now, I’m very okay with my current dive into old friends as a means to cope with all the things happening in the world today.

This is the Queue.

I love transmog.

Blame ReclusiveCreation, he asked about good looks to go with Ashkandi and the one in the header is one of my favorites. It’s not on a Vulpera but I don’t have any Vulpera.

In Shadowlands, the Venthyr Covenant is all about punishment and atonement.

I've said before that I think pet battles are the purest and best kind of mini-game content in World of Warcraft, and I have a variety of reasons for that belief.

Okay, so I love the Trial of Style for a variety of reasons, primarily among them the fact that from now until it ends on March 24 transmog and barber shops cost no gold.

If you know me, you're probably not surprised to find transmog keeps World of Warcraft's older content relevant for me.

People have this real tendency to assume that they way they feel about something is universal. Suramar is just one example. I see it held forth as this masterpiece, and I’m glad you enjoyed it, but no, it wasn’t universally beloved and Blizzard knows this. They can’t just keep doing zones like Suramar or people will quit the game. They have a very difficult task of always trying to deliver new experiences — sometimes those experiences can draw upon previous ones, but they can’t just be those again.

Especially Suramar. Some of us really hated it. I honestly, gleefully moved to the Broken Shore because there I could just kill things.

That doesn’t make you wrong for liking it, but it doesn’t mean I’m wrong for not enjoying it. I’d be fine with them making Suramar style content again, as long as it was something I could skip entirely. I very deliberately avoid stealth in WoW. Making me engage in it made me blisteringly angry.
