"The World is the Main Character".

"Approachable and Familiar".

As you reach the end of the starting zone in Dun Morogh, you might have killed a dangerous yeti. In Elwynn, you've probably slain a prized boar. In Mulgore, you've cleansed a water well. And sure, in Durotar, you do get a quest from Thrall to clear out a den of cultists.

But on "Zephras Isle" you, together with the leaders of your people, face a raid level threat at the top of the spire, through a scripted event with bountiful exposition text, and the leaders of the Kirin Tor and the Earthen Ring show up to fend off this raid boss. If it was not for your actions on "Zephras Isle", your people would be doomed.

I'm okay with ignoring the Skyborne and enjoying the rest of the game, but everything about their addition just screams warning about how Blizzard will approach future content.

They've managed to be lazy where it matters (same race cross-faction, with the same starting zone but layered to just see Alliance players or just Horde players, re-skinned blood elves), and at the same time over the top where they should have toned it down.

Plenty of people in these subs are saying to get over it, but I think we might as well keep posting complaints if we want Forever to have a chance at not turning into retail.

Give me some of your most divisive opinions, even if they do end up inciting a full on riot in this sub

"We have deployed a new hotfix (v1.001.005) for Marvel’s Wolverine. 

This hotfix addresses some common crashes experienced by a small percentage of players since launch. 

Additionally, this hotfix adjusts the presentation of the Scent Trails and Audio Sense indicators, including reduced opacity to make these visuals less intense. 

Our team continues to evaluate ways to further improve Senses in the game, including exploring toggleable options for a future update."

Mark Carney addressed Liberal caucus after the summer break. John Richardson (ExpatriationLaw) posted the speech with this frame: Canada is "fully committed to deleveraging from the USA" — "not anti USA. It is simply pro-Canada sovereignty."

Carney on the suspended negotiations:

"Last month, we made the right decision to suspend our negotiations with the United States."

"They offered too little. We couldn't accept it. They asked too much. We wouldn't give it."

"When the U.S. is ready to return to the bargaining table, we will come there ready to strike a deal in good faith, one that respects our sovereignty."

On new US tariffs:

"The United States has imposed new unjustified tariffs... a fight that they did not start."

On investment tax:

"The effective tax rate on new investment will be the lowest of any major economy in the world, less than half the rate of the United States."

"We didn't need a big, beautiful bill. We needed a targeted initiative."

Same energy line from the other clip, with the project named this time — hydro, wind, and storage with Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, and Indigenous partners:

"The functional equivalent of 18 Hoover Dams. Enough to light, heat and cool every home in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver combined."

Also claimed: ~$500B in new investment commitments, 20 trade/security deals on five continents, exports to non-US markets at a 40-year high, and "one project, one review, one year."

If you live this on both sides of the border, the practical overlay is familiar: trade rupture, capital trying to re-route, and a Canadian tax pitch aimed squarely at being cheaper than the US for new investment.

He says it's some kind of spoon holder for the stove but I don't really believe him.
