The Artifact Weapon system would lend itself extremely well to take the role that the cloak had in <a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/tag\/remists\/\">ReMists<\/a>, and it would be fantastic to revisit the class halls and work on them again. It was a solid expansion &#8212; one often mentioned as a top 3 expansion for <em>WoW<\/em>, and my personal #1 &#8212; and I&#8217;d really like the opportunity to redo the entire Suramar questline.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really have a &#8220;must avoid&#8221; one; I feel like I&#8217;d play any of them. <em>Warlords of Draenor<\/em> had its flaws at endgame, but the leveling experience was fantastic (possibly the best leveling zones <em>WoW<\/em> has ever seen, in fact). <em>Cataclysm<\/em> I didn&#8217;t enjoy when it was current, which led me to take a long break from the game &#8212; but precisely because of that, I&#8217;d like the opportunity to do the content I missed.<\/p>\n<p>As for another Plunderstorm event? I say let&#8217;s have some ninjas in the Isle of Thunder. It&#8217;s a Shado-Pan training exercise, and you get to stealth around trying to loot treasure and solo-kill mobs without being spotted by other players &#8212; that&#8217;s what Plunderstorm behavior ended up being anyway, and it fits the way of the ninja far more than the approach pirates usually employ.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"bw_queue_hr_v2\" \/>\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_v2\">\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_from_v2\">MAALIN<\/div>\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_body_v2\">\n<p>Missed you guys! I was out of town without any computer for four days. Now I&#8217;ve been sick as a dog for four more and I&#8217;m guessing I have a few more bad days to go. I have no idea what is happening in WoW atm. I will read the &#8220;Everything you need to know about the pre-patch&#8221; article. Hope I get well before it&#8217;s over, lol. Anything else I should check out??<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Oh no, hope you get better soon! Don&#8217;t worry, though: you still have plenty of time to enjoy the event, as it&#8217;ll be here until August 26.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, there isn&#8217;t really much you need to check out that hasn&#8217;t been covered by <a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/2024\/08\/05\/radiant-echoes-prepatch-event\/\">our articles<\/a>; the TL;DR is that it&#8217;s an event that allows for extremely fast alt-leveling, but also rewards currency that you can use to buy gear for max level characters, in addition to gear drops from the event itself. There are also a few collectibles (mounts, pets), besides the transmog appearances from all that gear, and a new heirloom ring. If any of that sounds good to you, make sure to give it a try!<\/p>\n<hr class=\"bw_queue_hr_v2\" \/>\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_v2\">\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_from_v2\">FALLANGER<\/div>\n<div class=\"bw_queue_question_body_v2\">\n<p>which new animal would yo like to see in TWW?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>We only got capybaras as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/npc=154850\/golden-snorf#models\">battle pets<\/a>.

Season four rekindled my love for the game big time &#8212; so much that I, who had never leveled a character to 100 before, ended up getting both a Barbarian and a Necromancer to max level. I still need to go back to my favorite class, Sorceress, and I also want to try a Druid (the class I&#8217;ve played the least so far).<\/p>\n<p>Unlike some of my fellow staff members, I don&#8217;t really need seasonal story content. I&#8217;m happy getting it from the expansion, when it comes.
