And so the final Arfterlives cinematic went live: Revendreth. Tale as old as time, insolent aristocracy VS poor commons. Some might (and did) already say that Revendreth copies Suramar in theme, but it's actually not. First of all, Suramar had a very political baseline. The line of division was not aristocracy VS common, but in … Continue reading Shadowlands: Animated Short Revendreth Review

This Thursday comes the final Afterlives animated short - Revendreth - and introduction events are effectively done, so there is no need to stall the pre-patch any longer. I'd wager that video shorts release plan was aligned with pre-patch release date. The next reset is September 22/23, which makes it about 1 month from the … Continue reading Pre-Patch: Next Week?

My transmog project this week in one picture: Rustfeather behaves in the same manner. At least I'm rapidly leveling my monk double. She already has Heart of Azeroth, and her next step is entering Kul Tiras. She's been mistweaving since the beginning, and I plan to manage her through Ny'alotha before pre-patch - a totally … Continue reading Trivia: Reset Days

Now this is how you do introduction cinematics! After the disaster of Maldraxxus video, the plank dropped so low that literally everything could have looked better in comparison. And yet Ardenweald became the greatest cinematic of Afterlives so far. Bastion coped with introducing major conflict, and gave an interesting lore morsel of Arthas' fate. Despite … Continue reading Shadowlands: Animated Short Ardenweald Review

The pre-patch is coming in only 2 or 3 weeks. This means drastic changes to rotations, removal of azerite perks and corruption, level squish and all that. Of course boosters will adjust and will still be able to run BfA raids for buyers, but it's gonna be a lot easier to do in current realities. … Continue reading Jaina Mount: Check

Alright, the sentiment after watching the second short was: what the fuck was that?! I mean, I liked Draka character, the finally visualised story of her death, the "I'm the key" thing - truly epic. But what did they tell us about Maldraxxus itself? Nothing. It's actually the worst piece of introduction I've ever seen, … Continue reading Shadowlands: Animated Short Maldraxxus Review

Bla-bla-bla, Oondasta, Nalak and Yogg-Saron still greedy, so raid set quest goes on. What is more exciting is that I went to try tanking LFR, and with a blood death knight  (my first BDK raid tanking ever). The first wing was boring: there was a 480-clad bear whoo just did all the job. Whenever I … Continue reading Trivia: Reset and an Incredible N’Zoth Kill

Note: this guide is written before Shadowlands pre-patch events, which will: Squish your level 120 to 50; Eradicate essences and corruption elements on your gear; Will most likely have some catch-up activites in Icecrown on its own. But September's all yours! Let's roll and gear up your alt in one sit! The following path takes … Continue reading How to Gear Up Your Fresh 120 Alt for Shadowlands in One Day: Shortcut Guide

This week finalizes not one, but two class raid runs: Paladins: sans Ulduar's 10, because impossible belt, but with the most iconic set from Blackwing Lair completed. Warlocks, without any no-no situations, a proper full collection: Left to go, 2 items:
