I really thought about posting this to Blizzard Watch's account, but I'm do not have the ability to be chill and professional in this discussion.

I do wonder what the overlap is between players who are swimming in gold (I know many of these people!) and players whose top priority is transmog.

I can't believe we've gone from transmog is free to transmog will cost less to transmog will cost 800k gold and then each time you want to change or save a new set it will cost four times as much as it does in TWW.

I just don't have words for this.

Midnight is the expansion that killed transmog. Good fucking job, guys. I LOVE TRANSMOG. THIS IS A CORE FEATURE OF THE GAME THAT I REALLY ENJOY.

Now I guess Microsoft wants me to buy a WoW token a month if I want to keep up with transmog. (Not to even mention the cost of housing decor.)

It's actually worse than I thought! In addition to paying 800k gold if you want to unlock the 20 outfit slots you currently have in The War Within, saving and changing looks in those slots is also MUCH more expensive. 4300g to change every slot of a look at level 80, reportedly 6k at level 90.

I grant the transmog slots you unlock do more for you than the ones you have now. You can hot swap between them at no cost. But the slots are wildly expensive and unlocking slots isn't even account-wide.

You start with two transmog slots unlocked automatically, then have to buy the other 18 at an increasing gold cost: 100g, then 500g, 100g, 5000g, 10,000g, 15,000g, 20,000g, etc. And at some point it increases to going up by 10k gold per slot but I don't have enough gold to test it on beta.

In the Midnight beta if you want the same 20 slots to save transmog looks that you have in game right now, it will cost you 800k per character to unlock them. Swapping between pre-saved sets is free (awesome!) but making any changes to existing sets costs the same as it does now.

If this goes live as is, it puts transmog, to the extent I do it now, well beyond my financial reach unless I get a lot better at making gold or buy a lot of WoW Tokens which is maybe the point. I am really so upset.

I am too upset about transmog to even write a post about how upset I am about transmog.

Well, I did also feel like the show could have had two more episodes, so maybe this is just a roundabout way of making that point.

The true skill of AI is being mystifyingly wrong about things.

Maybe this is for people who were watching on a second screen and don't understand why this misunderstood guy shot his friend, the president.

We can't give up now. ❄️

It’s clear no one in DC has any kind of plan to improve American healthcare. The Republican plan is to buy it yourself, while Democrats can’t organize a fight for Medicaid or the the ACA.

Medicare for All is the only plan anyone has offered, and anyone who doesn’t support it needs to be primaried.

I used to think people who said "Primary all of them." In relation to Dems were being "a bit much."

I was wrong, and they are right. These people are not representing us. They are not fighting for us.

Primary all of them. Every single one that isn't willing to be a Mamdani.

Oh yes. It’s impractical in all new ways. Probably the best way to do this would be to drive to the outskirts of the city and take a train from much closer in. But now you’ve combined the inconvenience of both driving long distances and wrangling train schedules.

😂

Well. That’s spot-on for theming, really.

Hopefully not severed heads.

That does not help, but that jacket is stylish af.

I will have to continue enjoying broadway shows via album, just like I did when I lived 1500 miles away!

Looks like around $80 round trip if I book something next month. But the nearest commercial airport to me is an hour away, in which time I’d be half way to NYC by car already.

NYC is close enough to do a day trip but dang. It’s about a three hour train ride or two and a half in the car, which is reasonable except for having to drive in the city and park the car somewhere.

I looked in to what it would cost to take a train into NYC for a day trip to see the Beetlejuice musical while it’s back on broadway for a couple of months.

Show tickets are pretty reasonable, but train tickets would be $400 (coach).

So, uh, maybe not.

The Old God of microtransactions is the true enemy here.

So are you saying we can't blame this evil on you?

I feel like this a lot.

Look, the winter festivals are traditionally spooky times. You begin the spooky at the thinning of the veil at the start of the new year (Samhain), and you keep on scaring each other until the light comes back after the Solstice. Slap some greens on the giant skeleton and party on.
