Imagine pushing an update and all it does is making the search shout “Invisibilis!” while automod DDoSes itself in the corner
think they are actively working on that one already

In better news, Tabby Nonsense has finally learned he can use the upright scratchers.
YAY! More cardboard to hover up.

My peeve of today are night elves who claim not to speak Common.
While there are cases where I welcome a desire for realism in RP, I draw the line when a desire for realism impedes communication, and RP is all about communication. When two RP characters lack a common language, all it accomplishes is adding awkwardness as a third party is forced to act as a translator. This can be fun under the right conditions with a throwaway NPC, but not with a persistent character meant to routinely interact with others.

It also can be fun when one character is just bad at Common and it causes the odd communication hiccup/some direct translations.
But not being able to speak it all and forcing a stranger to be your translator unless people decide to just ignore anything your char says? No.

I mean unless the night elf specifically has lived under a rock the last 30 years or so does this just seems like being obstinate for the sake of it. At least the nightborne had an excuse…
…for their flawless orcish.

My favourite is the people who were talking in common/orchish beforehand then somebody not of their race turns up so they just swap to their native tongue (OOC).
Its a belf thing, why’s it always belves?
Then would get annoyed by a mage casting arcane linguist when I RPed mine more but now a) not sure the actual glyph exists any more and b) think they removed thalassian from it when velves came around.

They need to add back in Language learning from Classic/planned-in-Classic…

Glyph still works
thalassian not working sounds more like a bug unless pandaren were also affected
either way the tongues elixir makes it pointless to try and keep people from understanding the other faction
Nightborne with flawless Orcish encountering Night Elf who doesn’t speak common: “I see your weakness and it disgusts me.”

It’s now a tome, and it still exists. Thalassian is there for both factions, but Draconic and Titan aren’t, despite dracthyr and earthen respectively speaking them. Blizzard never got to updating it, I guess.
I don’t remember the ins and outs but it had something to do with the language becoming cross faction.
Again, I have not tried using it since I don’t RP my horde mage much anymore and I don’t really run into that problem on alliance.
Tabbito has many MANY toys, what has he deemed to play with? A bit of that tear cardboard off of a box.

It deeply amuses me that that all made sense to me.
Peeve: Trying to find out when in the official timeline Stormwind was rebuilt and Elwynn was repopulated. Trying to work out Kaytlinne’s timeline so I can make her backstory all make sense as I’m writing it up, eventually.
At present, I’ve got it worked out as her being born in Year 10 (2 years after WC2 expac), she’d be 10 when WC3 happened, and was 15 as an orphan squire when WoW itself started properly.
Meaning, as of TWW, she’d be 32. There’s some leeway, but that’s where I’d roughly like it to end up being.

Trying to find dates for when certain places in wow were built or established is a peeve unto itself. I was trying to find specifics for Everlook. The joke was on me…

Not just the phone forums, the browser forums are the same. I hate it.
