Blizzcon 2016
Commence the #Blizzcon2016 hashtags, baby!
Earlier this week, Blizzard decided to throw the blogging community a bone and dropped some interesting news for us to buzz about. That buzz, of course, being the announcement that there would, in fact, be a Blizzcon this year. It makes sense, this being Blizzard’s 25th anniversary as a company and all. Why not have a party to celebrate it?
Since there’s actually a chance that I might be able to go this year (the cash could be there, and I’m not scheduled to work that weekend), I’m naturally getting amped up. However, time and money are not the only gateways to Blizzcon. One must obtain a golden ticket, which thankfully(?) did not increase in price this year. I think this is the first time there hasn’t been an increase in ticket price. I mean, it’s still $199 for a ticket (OUCH) on top of airfare(OW) and hotel(STOP), but it could have been worse.
So the goal now is to make sure I’m home, at my computer, on April 20th at 9pm Central (7pm Pacific) for the first round of ticket sales with my finger on the F5 button. I guess I could set up a macro on my mouse to auto press F5, and save my keyboard from the abuse I fully intend on inflicting upon it.
Will you be trying to get tickets as well? Are you planning on going to Blizzcon 2016?
The 700 Club
We have long been at the stage in Warlords of Draenor where we, as players, start making shit up. The raids have been raided, the dungeons have been, uh, dungeoned. The content has been seen. At this point, many players unsub or just walk away from the game. Others start creating their own things to do. And some look ahead and start to prepare for Legion.
I’ve decided that I’d start working on the second and third point. Starting with my professions.
WoD had a shaky relationship with professions, depending on how you looked at it. Say what you will, it turned out to be a great way to start a fresh profession and level it up. Legion beta might have something significant to say about it, but since we really won’t know how beneficial professions will be in the next expansion, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared.
Hence the 700 Club.
No, not the TeeVee Church thing. Professions, I’m talking about professions here.
I’ve decided to make sure my main is finished with everything, profession-wise. When Legion drops, I don’t want to have to play catch-up and potentially lose out on a golden (or gold-making) opportunity. Therefore, I plan on ensuring every profession is capped. Archaeology will be the most mind-numbing I think, unless I try to get my Level 3 fishing shack for my garrison.
Have you maxed out all the professions on your main? Do you care about the professions at all? Let me know in the comments below what you thought of professions in WoD and if you plan on doing anything with them in Legion!
