but mine are ebooks
Blizzard donât trust me enough to post pics, so take my word for it when I say my shelf is full of fantasy novels like the witchers apprentice, the shadows apprentice, brothers-in-arms and cook books.

Iâm trying not to form any opinions on the expansion until itâs actually out. Everything Blizzard says right now is an ad to get you hyped. Iâll form an opinion when I can actually play it.
Game companies in 2022 are great at promising the world and delivering a plastic globe.
I approach things with no expectations. If itâs good, Iâm happy. If itâs bad, Iâm not let down.
That being said, I canât say I agree with constant doom saying. Seems like itâd be fatiguing to hate something thatâs not even out yet.
Maybe Iâll even get into the beta for once. Probably not.
This makes it read like you own fantasy cook books. Actually, that reminds me that the WoW one exists. Does anyone actually own that here? I heard itâs pretty good.

I do as a matter of fact own a few fantasy themed cook books, with generic fantasy and halloween themed cookies, cakes and other goodies.
I think a guy in a guild I am part of owns it, seemed decently pleased with the options it had, so might be worth getting it?
Finally started the 6.1 MSQ stuff.
Blizzard: Add the Unending Codex to WoW. Add it immediately with Dragonflight and make sure every new player can access it. Add a search function, add keywords, do that little hover-over text popout thing that a bunch of RPGs these days do (I wanna say Pillars of Eternity started it?) for even easier access.
Do what Squenix did, but better. âGo read WoWpedia/watch lore vidsâ is terrible.

I do. Generally, Iâd say itâs pretty good. It has some clever solutions for ingredients of pure fantasy dishes and it all comes together quite nicely. Some recipes are underwhelming in terms of creativity.
I mostly stuck to baked goods and desserts section and I have very little to complain about. The drinks section is pretty rubbish though. Overall Iâd say itâs worth a purchase, alternatively you could get a pdf online.
Something like that is sorely needed. One complaint I consistently see from newcomers is that they find the story incredibly confusing and they have no idea whatâs going on from BfA to Shadowlands. Complaints of this are met with reddit flatulence huffers telling them that they should do homework on other websites about a video game.
I think the new player experience in general needs a look at. The BfA dungeons body them. Constantly. And nobody can blame them, because they were high level dungeons once. Now they go from a dungeon that plays itself on Exileâs Reach to AtalâDazar with complex mechanics. This wouldnât be bad on its own, but thereâs nothing between those things to teach you core mechanics of the game. Heck, Exileâs Reach doesnât even teach you interrupts.

Just saw someone on twitter dot com say Varian was a good king. Wonder what game they played where that happened.
Youâll all be pleased to know that once again I held my fingers back from starting an argument. Instead I will simply complain about them elsewhere, which is far more mature.
Thatâs so ridiculous honestly. The starter dungeons like RFC, Deadmines and Stockades are all super straightforward both mechanically for the enemies and geographically to navigate - Wailing Caverns is the first one where thereâs a smidge of complexity in navigation.
I canât imagine trying to do Atalâdazar or Freehold as a group of five new players fresh off the boat.

even if that is a joke
I am inclined to agree.
Varian, at least for his stay in WoWs part of the lore was not a bad king.
guy started out as a war monger, with a legit good reason for hating on the horde.
started to learn and grow in pandaria, and finally took his sons words to heart in legion.
Varian had a good character arc.
He had an acceptable character arc.
He was not a good king.

He had more complete and consistent growth than the total sum of half the faction leaders today.
Sure.
He was not a good king though.

You mean building new statues to yourself in the capitol while one of your closest regions to the capitol is undergoing famine and constant crime isnât what a good king does?
Itâs 2022. The last time I bought a dead-tree book (for myself rather than as a gift) was⌠I donât remember, actually.
Back in 2008 I got stuck on the jumping stones and just couldnât get past it until I left the group in shame

Listen according to some very trendy post-modernist academics, all reality is based on perception therefore if I refuse to perceive and accept the passage of time, I can pretend itâs still 2007 and therefore all the My Chemical Romance songs on my Spotify arenât me clinging to the faded glory of a long dead subculture but instead the hottest gang on the charts.
Are you really a veteran WoW player if you didnât fail at some jumping part of the dungeon repeatedly?
Never forget:

Early WC was a nightmare hellscape of stuck terrain and getting lost and getting one shot by the big plant guy and taking like 40 minutes
