What's the best way to catch up on the story of WoW? In-game, preferably. I finished up in Zandalar and now I'm in Nazjatar and... Who the hell is MOTHER? Why is there a big-ass sword jammed into Silithus? I feel like the 0-to-hero path thru Zandalar skipped... A lot of steps. So what's the best way for me to play catch-up?

EDIT: For reference, before this year the last time I seriously played WoW was WotLK.

 

What's everyone using?

I'm running Tumbleweed, personally. I like the rolling release model, I think it supports my use case better than point releases. And OpenSUSE has the smoothest, most pleasant rolling release available IMO.

Patch 10.1.5 (lemmy.ml)

What does everyone think about the changes to Allied Races and Riding Skills? I for one am excited, at least for the Allied Races updates. I don't really mind one way or another for the Riding Skills. It'll be nice not to have to dump a load of gold into skills and basic mounts for each new character, but the game hands gold out hand over fist in the early levels.

I was looking at the requirements for unlocking the Zandalari Trolls earlier tonight, and WOW. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ That's a big time sink! I imagine it'll feel like treason for those who went through all the steps to unlock the allied races prior to the patch... But it'll be nice not to have to drag myself through all those steps. ๐Ÿ˜…

What's the community's thoughts on these changes?

10.1.5 isn't out yet, and there's no official date as far as I know. Just nebulously "this summer." There are more changes, including Warlock coming to a bunch of new races.

I don't know how I never stumbled upon Lemmy before, I've been looking for a worthwhile alternative to Reddit for over a year now. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough!

 

Bwonsamdi is one of my favorite parts of Zandalar. I wish there was a cosmetic option to replace the Val'kyr with Bwonsamdi... everywhere. Even if it was limited only to players who had completed the Zandalar story up to a point. I'd even give it a pass if it was limited only to Zandalari trolls, but that would be sad...

When I finally finish up in Zandalar, I will miss his quips.

 
 

I got Dragonflight! I can finally level my Shaman up to 70. ๐Ÿ˜ญ I've been leveling an alt while I waited to pick up DF. My alt is... Another shaman. Alliance, this time. ๐Ÿ˜‚

What's everyone running as their main, currently?
