But 536 seems low for flex, when it's supposed to be in between LFR and Normal if normal is 553.
That may be a hint of the difficulty level.
I edited. 528 is too low for LFR, when I thought about it.

So another change...

High level enchants can be applied to lower level items. and will scale. I'm forseeing a lot of profit selling reasonable enchants to throngs of alts.

Any higher and heroic guilds would be farming LFR for gear, which is what they don't want. As it is, 528 is higher than ToT normal gear.

Then they're going to lose LFR players.

We've been doing it for months now. Most people have exalted with shado-pan in full 522 gear with most of that upgraded to 530s now.

There is zero reason to run LFR for those players. That should NEVER be the case with new content. EVER. Period.

They've made it clear they don't really care what Heroic Raiders feel required to do. Flex raiding does not share a raid lockout with LFR or Heroic.

Should Flex raiding have a 528 item level too, after all, to stop heroic raiders from feeling forced.

So um if this raid's going to be set in Org, would that then make it unuseable to everyone else? I assume not as that would be dumb.

We'll raid in the secret cow level of Org... next door to Ragefire.

Or it will be phased for players lower than 90.

People are speculating it will start in Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and after you kill the Sha of Pride, youo enter a portal to orgrimmar. As the first 4 bosses seem very... Pandaria appropriate.

And we've seen devastation in the vale, suggesting a huge fight happened there.

That solves the main issue of "How would Alliance reach the portal in the Horde Capital city?" by having it start in the Vale, and like deathwing, it switches areas.

Though, that peeves me off, as after the whole no catchup crap about 5 mans was a lie, they said it was now about artwork... but if they do multiple areas for the raid, then that's another lie. (As they could have done the whole battle in Orgrimmar, and spent the artwork team who redid the Vale on a new 5 man)

Typically each new LFR has been +13 of an item lvl, so I would agree.
I believe if you can believe out of nothing an explosion (big bang) happened then how far fetched can god be?

It certainly gives me high hopes for the character model revamps, if he's any hint at what orcs could look like. :)

Oh man, me too. I mean, I still hate how super-mega-buff Garrosh is, because I think it's silly, but... if character models could look that nice I would cry. I want my humans and my blood elves and my undead to look that nice!

Moon moon looks terrible. Blizzard needs to fix the fur issue already. It's been, what, 2 years now?
