WoW Tokk – Dragonflight Addons and UI
Hey, did you know that World of Warcraft has a new expansion? They do! It’s called Dragonflight, and as you might suspect, it is all about Dragons! A flight of dragons, you might say!
Editor’s Note – This has no relation to the 1982 animated classic The Flight of Dragons starring none other than James Earl Jones and the late John Ritter. Damn, that was a great movie and amazing cast.
Over the past few months, you may have noticed that I have not posted much along the lines of World of Warcraft content. That’s because I let my subscription lapse just before Dragonflight was released in November (Nov 28, 2022). Great timing, right? I had been playing just to earn enough gold to purchase additional months of subscriptions, but my mojo fell off a steep cliff. I had to decide where to put my spare time – World of Warcraft or the Pathfinder RPG. As you can tell from my posts, the TTRPG beat the MMORPG.
However, I have not gone to scorched earth with WoW. Despite not having an active account, I continued to ensure my addons were up to date just in case I got the itch to start playing again. As luck would have it, the WoW PVP and real-live swolverine, Bajheera posted his preferred addons and UI setup for Dragonflight 10.0. I’ve followed his guidelines in the past (both for World of Warcraft and fitness/workouts), so when I saw his video, I knew I had to check it out.
Not gonna lie – this may have been the motivation I needed to resub and try out the new expansion. He won’t see this, but just in case… thanks, Boss.
Enjoy his video!
Waiting for WoD
Better Luck Next Time
I came back to WoW after taking about a year off because I’d managed to score a ticket to Blizzcon. Irconically, not going to Blizzcon about a year prior was one of the main reasons I lost the motivation to play WoW. That and the ladies. Much more entertaining than a video game. Much more social, too. True story.
Anyway, when the Warlords of Draenor release date came out I was stoked. Blizzcon and a new expansion? All within a week? The gamer crawling around in my wheelhouse giggled like a fiend.
Those giggles turned to gagging when my work schedule was changed. Oh I was going to be out of town at the beginning of November, but I wasn’t going to be in Anaheim. I would be out of town on standby for work, for two weeks. Which meant that not only was I not going to Blizzcon, but I would be AFK for the first week of WoD.
A double-whammy of suck.
The expansion will be over a week old by the time I can even log back into my computer. But as strange as it may seem, I do not feel like this is a bad thing. There are certain advantages to waiting before getting into Warlords.
So while there are some disadvantages to not logging in on Day One, it’s nothing I’ll lose sleep over. There will be plenty of sleep to lose on Day Seven and beyond.
