Arena Skirmish Weekend
I aim to misbehave.
As a Rank 6 Brawler (impressive, right?), I know a thing or two about throwing down. (Literally. Like maybe two things. I don’t know how I’ve lived this long.) So when I heard that this weekend’s bonus event was Arena Skirmishes, I was naturally all over it. I pull decent deeps, have a good iLevel, and have some pvp experience. Time to farm some honor, baby!
Yeah, about that. I got a win or two, but for the most part my arena time looked like this:
*rush into the room*
BOOM HEADSH-*dead*
HASTA LA VISTA SUCK-*dead*
MOTHERFU-*dead*
Uh, okay guys let’s disc-*dead*
Back off-*dead*
Leave me alon-*dead*
AAAHHHH-*dead*
Now there’s many ways to approach a situation like that. You can tuck tail and run, or you can learn. Reddit’s PVP Page didn’t offer too much help, but it did point me in the right direction. I don’t know if it’ll make much difference for me this weekend, but I intend on checking sites and videos to see if I can lessen the suck and increase the pwn.
If you’ve ever been curious about getting into arenas, this is the time to do it. It’s fast 2v2 action, a wide cross-section of player experience will be doing it, it won’t take up much of your time, and usually the other person has already bailed out before they can tell you that you suck. At the very least, it’s 24 honor for a loss. Even losses add up if you get enough of them. Silver lining and all that.
Seriously, if you’ve ever even remotely considered it, this weekend is a good time to get your feet wet.
Do you do the pvp dance? Are you trying the skirmishes this weekend, or would you rather pull out your fingernails with pliers?
Best Feature in Legion
Exciting, yes?
Now there’s plenty of things to look forward to in World of Warcaft: Legion. At least, there’s plenty of things that Blizzard tells us we can look forward to. But I will reserve judgement on everything until the expansion goes live. There’s been too many features that we were told were coming in an expansion, and then never came. From the capital cities and multiple garrisons in WoD right down to the, yawn, Dance Studio in Wrath of the Lich King (a feature that was listed on the damn box), Blizzard will hold back or outright deny features if they so choose.
On an unrelated note (yeah right) – oh look, Flying in WoD has been moved from patch 6.2.1 to 6.2.2.
Any-dang-way, when I was reading about some of the features that were going to be coming with Legion, I saw one that I was glad to see (and yet still a bit optimistic about) and it’s not even a Legion feature.

Garrisons are staying in Draenor. If you want to go back and visit them, you can! They were always designed as something that you would leave in Draenor. The developers may revisit the system with something bigger, better, and different in the future.
That somewhat surprised me, until I saw that they only mentioned visiting the garrisons. They don’t mention the availability of follower missions. I can see them letting players visit their garrisons, since Blizzard pushed the damn things to be like player housing. From monuments to juke boxes, they wanted garrisons to be the one-stop shop so players never had to leave.
Personally I hope they still remain a viable source of gold making. Sure they’ve been nerfed, but I can still pull in 10-15k per week for only a few minutes of work. OP sure maybe, but at least a revenue stream will be one less issue I’ll have to think about when Legion comes around.
Blasphemous I know, but I’d rather have garrisons generating gold than have flight. There I said it.
… something something Demon Hunters look cool sure okay.
