i got it after 36 tryes
but, GG man! get your Corrupted ashbringer!
This was yesterday butā¦ oh well.
I logged into Classic and just levelled with a pal for an hour. It was so tranquil and nice - we were just talking about life and our past together and navigating around as we enjoyed the serenity of the classic WoW Ashenvale.
I had a pretty stressful day so I needed thatā¦ :ā)
today i got a cat slime from clearing all bosses on normal raids
I got Ashes of Alāar yesterday on my 3rd week of trying for it (about 20-30 attempts) and decided to see if my luck would hold up for Invincible and did a couple of ICC runs but no mount, instead I got the crossbow I wanted from Arthas a couple of years back when I created some hunter runs with a few forumers from the Fortune Favoured discord
Itās a stupid thing that most people wonāt relate to, but whatever. I just got my steam deck delivery date, next monday. Iāve been meaning to play wow on it, more than anything else. I already knew about the console port addon and was thinking thatāll be good enough.
Then I saw a video that compiled a lot of quality of life things from the Dragonflight Beta. Auto target nearby enemies, interact button, hold to repeat cast. For a PC player these are small nich things. But for the console port it is fuecking phenomenal! I grinned ear to ear.
I tried going into PTR and was greeted with the cutscene of the Primusās flashback of the Jailer (creating the Helm of Domination or whatever it was). Only they werenāt in a room, they were floating above Outland.
Iāve already set up WoW Classic on my Steam Deck. Itās quite easy and there are lots of guides, but feel free to contact me in-game if you want some help; after all I am a long-time Linux user in the first place.
Steam Deck is awesome btw - though one of its best features doesnāt work with WoW in that you DC if you put it to sleep. I mean obviously, but yeah.
Proof from just after I set it up:
Yeah chatbox is wrecked. I fixed it
And for WoW Classic I got almost 5 hours of battery life. Not a very demanding game.
Ooh! Hot dawg!
Still waiting on mine but wow classic is for sure one of the big reasons I ordered one.
If you have had some time playing and donāt mind me asking (seen quite a lot of vidās but theyāre not really that telling tbh):
Is it stable? fps roller coaster and constant crashes or smooth sailing?
Is it actually playable and combat doable? Is it like playing desktop with gamepad setup or is it a whole other mess of a story and you struggle with the most basics of gameplay? ^^
Also Iāve only ever seen people using the trackpad to click n drag every individual item when looting have you found a workaround, auto loot type thing or does one just have to learn to love it?
Completely smooth sailing. No crashing and 60 FPS locked. Fast loading screens too, even if using the SD card. To chat you can hit the Steam+X key and itāll pull up a keyboard btw.
I managed to level to 10 with it. Itās playable but I canāt vouch for end-game content. There are people who say it works great for them and I have seen M+ 15ās with a controller - and if you can do it with a controller thereās no reason you shouldnāt be able to do it with a Steam Deck.
The only setting you canāt really use is Raytracing butā¦ donāt. The device is much too low power for that. For context itās slightly faster than a PS4.
helped a panda mage that was doing some wqs, i stayed to make her finish it.
few minutes later i was strugling to doing another wqs and the same panda comes there and helps me.
really good to be kind
Thanks for the info! Now I gotta try it out! ^^
Noticing a background download starting on bnetā¦ could it beā¦ could it beā¦ prepatch data?? A little bubble of excitement is forming that itās closer then we thought
I did a Kara with the hungarian Classic guild andā¦ had a huge spot of luck.
- My rep reached exalted after who knows how long, so could get my final kara ring upgrade.
- Got 3 very good enchs, two of which are the rare Sunfire and Soulfrost.
- Also received a bracer upgrade, and after finishing it and the daily Black Morass HC, had enough badges to buy a very good offhand in place of the one Iāve had for well over a year now.
And it was quick as rain too, barely over an hour. Bosses all seemed to go down in like a minute and had very few deaths. In fact, we could ignore many mechanics and still win easily.
Today was a good day.
Had the pleasure of just doing a GD +12 with Nagrash fron these here forums - first time interacting with him outside the forums (and hopefully not the last). Sorry i was awful tonight mate, but at least we timed it ehā¦
Finally slayed my 20th Heroic boss for the fated heroic upgrade and have my 298 Raeāshalare, Deathās Whisper
Never had a doubt Was fun.
It sure was, shame about the long wait for a healer thoughā¦
I have managed to play half an our in retail without getting disconnected
But what really made me smile today is the owls in Bastion - āYo-hooā
Well, itās me again back with another thing.
Today it was me helping someone get their weapon transmog (they got it!). After the run I noticed the mail icon: Someone had sent me a mail. It was a complete stranger sharing how much they liked my paladinās transmog, going into some preetty crazy detail might I add. It was really sweet and itās one of really few cases of people giving me praise for something I did in wow and it felt great
