I'm continuing to document some more of #TurtleWoW to see what it's like and what inspiration Blizzard could take from them:

Today in #SWTOR, a tribute to a dynamic encounter that has brought me more than the average amount of joy:

In today's post, I'd just like to give a shout-out to some WoW YouTubers whose content I've enjoyed recently! Incl. @crendor.bsky.social and @lanidotexe.bsky.social #Warcraft

Another week of Galactic Season 9 under our collective belts - let's talk about crowds on Dromund Kaas and my weekly flashpoint adventures: #SWTOR

Over on the WoW front, I'm actually still continuing my exploration of #TurtleWoW:

Some thoughts on #SWTOR' s newest subscriber perk:

The #TurtleWoW follow-up I promised on Sunday:

September 9 will be a super-long maintenance day for #SWTOR. When the game comes back online it will be the start of the Subscriber rewards event. Here's the patch notes! swtorista.com/articles/swt...

Notes on another pleasant week of seasonal flashpointing: #SWTOR

#SWTOR PSA: Apparently there's a scam going around where someone on fleet will yell about their Twitch stream, promising a 13B credit giveaway. On stream, they'll then direct people to a site where they can steal your account info. Don't fall for it!

After all the hubbub last week I got curious (and I'm sure I'm not the only one): #TurtleWoW #WorldofWarcraft

Haha, I didn't know the new Ethereal gates in delves could take you to a room with both Zek'vir and the Underpin in it... 😂fortunately they were only their summoned versions with no add mechanics. #WorldofWarcraft

Remember to shop responsibly and also check the GTN! But definitely some good deals there and a nice opportunity to get inspiration for new alts and character outfits.

The Fall of Fort Tonvarr is a frustrating dynamic encounter when you're the only person there, but I'll concede that when it's busy like this week and there's a whole crowd enmeshed in what's basically just one giant crazy brawl, it's kind of fun. #SWTOR

SWTOR PSA for this week's Ilum encounters: For Lisk Frenzy, you don't have to capture lisks in the tiny marked area. I ran far, far away, the tracker disappeared, but the electro net button remained and I could capture lisks elsewhere and the encounter still updated.

I'm enjoying GS9's flashpoint theme so far and had a lot of fun pugging last week! #SWTOR

The dichotomy of this WoW K'aresh questing is insane. I just defeated a Void god and now I'm dancing for bees in a 20 part bee quest chain

Some interesting #WoWClassic news today, as Blizzard has filed a lawsuit against the owners of Turtle WoW, a popular private server. I try to sum up the situation and what it could mean for WoW in this blog post:

Yes, I'm still going on about the removal of cut scenes from group finder flashpoints. It just doesn't feel right to me. #SWTOR

Can't believe it's been nearly a week and info about the new WoW expansion is still trickling in. Definitely don't love this approach. What I just watched about the changes to the new player experience as well as the new dedicated returning player experience was really interesting though.

I just landed on Tatooine while the Spaceport Chaos encounter was on (the one with the bantha calves) and OMG they redid the voice-over for it! That is so random! Anyone else noticed any dynamic encounters getting re-dubbed?

Still playing MoP Classic, but my progress has been glacial: #Warcraft

Did You Know that in #SWTOR you can unlock the TF-6 Striker Mount for FREE!? Link your SWTOR Account to Twitch before September 16th and watch any stream to unlock this limited edition mount before its gone! Guide todayintor.com/2024/07/24/h... #starwars #swtorfamily

With the removal of group conversations and cut scenes from group finder flashpoints in the latest patch, I wanted to pay a little tribute to this feature that I'll miss. 🥲 #SWTOR

Not sure how I feel about Dimensius story mode. I wiped 4 times to 1-shot mechanics, once while he was already emoting about being defeated, which was very annoying. Kinda feel like a single solo fight shouldn't take half an hour to get done, but it was also epic. Can't wait to see LFR. 😆 #Warcraft

You knew I'd have to jot down some thoughts about the #WoW Midnight announcement, right? Here you go (so I can get it out of my system):

I was wondering just what the heck was going on after the #SWTOR patch for my game to crash to desktop no less than five times - someone on the forum found the source: crashes are now caused by hovering over the "play" icon on the quest tracker. Definitely one of the weirder bugs I've seen...

Game Update 7.7.1 "Flashpoint Resurgence" is now live! Read for all the details about the content included in this update! www.swtor.com/info/news/ar...

Here’s all you need to know about the newest Galactic Season “Flashpoint Resurgence” coming tomorrow, August 19! www.swtor.com/info/news/%5...

Today in #WorldofWarcraft , I chime in on the discourse about the story of the latest patch and where it puts the War Within and the Worldsoul Saga:

It's been another good week for my ops team and me in #SWTOR:

Though also... WoW expansion announcement the same day! Always the way...

New Galactic Season starts next Tuesday! *cracks knuckles*

Today in #SWTOR - just a little ramble about what I've been up to recently:

I had a dream last night that Vaylin's voice actress had been recast and that was just... very random. #SWTOR

Looking for a cute, cuddly and reliable companion to explore K'aresh? Here's your chance to pick one up for yourself! Ghosts of K’aresh is NOW LIVE and i'm able to give away two Vulpine Familiars! Simply like and repost to enter, ends on 10.08! #WoW_Partner #WorldofWarcraft

R.I.P. mining while hovering in the air. It always felt too fun to be allowed, but Blizzard left it in for so long I was starting to hope they were fine with it. But no, the latest patch has disabled it again. #WorldofWarcraft

Is it weird that I'm put off by playing the WoW patch by the fact that all my banks are a mess now due to the bank slot revamp, and Altoholic isn't working? I kinda feel like a lot of "work" will be required until it feels like all my chars are functioning properly again... 🙁

With the big #WorldofWarcraft patch coming today/tomorrow, I wanted to jot down some thoughts about what I've been up to over the last couple of months. Lots of chasing rewards from different sources, though Collector's Bounty actually led me down a completely different rabbit hole:

Not the freshest take at this point, considering that 7.7 has been out for a couple of months, but I still wanted to write a bit about the dynamic encounters that were added to 7 more planets with this patch: #SWTOR

I haven't forgotten about MoP Classic! You can read about my tentative first few adventures here:

Today's #SWTOR dev stream contained a lot of interesting updates, and I had a lot of thoughts. From what I loved to what still wasn't quite what I was hoping for, you can find it all here (the flashpoint changes were the biggest bit of news to me personally):

Was very pleased to join @thisweekinaurebesh.bsky.social 's #SWTOR guild #NewOutriders for a fun little guild event last night. I did a little write-up here:

Rare that something in an open chat channel in WoW actually makes me laugh, but this ad did.

Supposedly Timewalking isn't affected by Collector's Bounty, but the Deathcharger just dropped in my Strat run and 2 people already had it! Someone said they'd seen it 3x already. The one who looted asked for bids and I "won" it for 100 gold. Not how I expected to get this but not gonna complain...

Joining Swtorista's DvL farm for nearly 3 hours today was quite something! On some bosses Starparse had me down as the only healer, I felt like I was doing community service. 😂 Down to only needing 3 bosses on Star Forge, wonder if should try to get them (got everything done on Darth Malgus though).

Mark your calendars! We will be hosting the Game Update 7.7.1 livestream on July 30th at 1:00pm CT / 6:00pm UTC over on Twitch! We’ll be going over all the features in the upcoming update. See you soon! www.twitch.tv/swtor

With War Within's next major patch only a couple of weeks away, I've been focusing on finishing up some pre-patch goals. Today I beat the Underpin on ?? difficulty for example. Some thoughts:

Did a timewalking dungeon in #WoW today and a newly dinged DK apologised for being new at their class the moment we zoned in. Me and another pug were like "it's fine, it's just timewalking, we'll smash it" and they said their last group had kicked them without a word after the first boss. (1/2)

I cleared both Scum & Villainy and Dread Palace on master mode this week (DP was also timed) and I haven't felt this good about doing ops with my guild in a while. ❤️ #SWTOR
