Working on a very self-indulgent comic abour my experiences w the MoP update thus far lol. Im having a blast, even if the servers are uhh, a bit laggy lol

Heart of Pandaria

MoP has remained, after all these years, my favorite WoW expansion of all time. The music. The ambience. The pets. The mounts. The lore. The characters. -chef's kiss- I love it all so, so much.

Removing Dragonflight from this one this time since some folks made good points that it's too new for these kinds of polls, and this time, this poll is a WEEK long for better data !

small piece from my illustration for charitable World of Warcraft Artbook owo

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: World of Warcraft Relationships: Rell Nightwind/Original Characters, Rell Nightwind/Original Male Character(s) Summary: Rell is forced to confront feelings he doesn’t fully understand when a mission to take down Ga’trul goes wrong. Amidst the chaos of a new war, Rell battles not only enemies, but his own mind.

Hot dog, has World of Warcraft Remix been a huge success for me. By now if you play WoW you already know the basic gist of WoW Remix: “Timerunning”, a special way to experience the older content of the Mists of Pandaria with a new character, in modern WoW’s gameplay and featureset, while packed to the brim with fun twists.

Now when I say “Fun Twists” I of course mean “Complete insanity baked into the core DNA of how this game works at all”. While the content of Mists of Pandaria remains functionally the same, befitting the Time Travel concept (you even have access to the Scenarios, lost to the wind in Chromie Time), the twists add a lot of imaginative new energy to the older content. The Cloak of Infinite Potential, an ever present cape worn by all your characters, grows and morphs based on everything you do. Getting up to levels of stats at a rate almost unheard of since the more recent stat squishes. Everything from the traditional extra stamina or attack power, to game altering bonuses like XP boosts to use on your further characters.

All items, which drop frequently, are packed with gem and modification slots. All which do wild things like grant a warrior Blink, Fireshield or movement speed increases that result in the most mobile heavy weapon use you’ve ever seen. All quests grant small loot boxes, full of gear, gems, modifiers and other wild additions, and I mean all quests. Even something as simple as a breadcrumb quest has a chance to grant you some kind of power altering item. As a result, your power level is changing rapidly, and your skillset goes through upheaval after most sets of quests. Combat never gets old as you experiment with new ideas and attacks.

I’ve been using this new event to see the content of Mists of Pandaria that I’ve not yet experienced, which is to say most of it. I was wary when this began because I assumed if I just held out a little longer I could probably play a Mists of Pandaria classic. Thankfully I didn’t let those doubts win out, because this has not only been an incredible new experience, but a fantastic way to appreciate an old one. I deeply hope that this concept is revisited, it would be an incredible way for Blizzard to revisit the content of, say, Warlords of Draenor. A finely crafted campaign without much of an endgame, but one that would slot extremely well into this fun new take on the leveling experience.
