A brand new major patch World of Warcraft It dropped earlier this week, including new dungeons, new raids, new explorations, many new stories, a large (gorgeous) new area, and more. But don't sleep on the best, most important feature of this patch: your character is able to lean back against the wall and look reproductive or ruthless, just as you've always hoped they can.
OK, but serious! WOW's latest patch is K'aresh's Ghost 11.2, adding a brand new emoticon to the game: /Lean. It can really do sound. Your character leans backwards, either relaxing on any wall behind them or (if not) just tilts awkwardly in the air. This is a pretty small addition, but the players are already very happy.
A player share the ranking In the unique/lean expressions of each race and gender, from the blood and void elves of S-Tier have perfect slimming, all the way to D-Tier, which contains Gnome Males, Draenei Females, Draenei Females, Goblins and Goblins and Dracthyr of Genders, and several others, all of whom are clearly stiff and uninterested. Another player Discover that you can hide the toys in your hands In a way that /lean expression works well, it provides your character with a casual way to check out the compass or drink beer.
Stupidly, the players are indeed digging it. It's a fun taste, especially for those who use World of Warcraft as a role-playing space. While at AFK, I've met a bunch of players who just tilted casually in the capital city, and I'm looking forward to using my C-Tauren female expression to rely on the positive purple walls in the new raid, while my raid leader explained the mechanics on the 17th.
The latest patch from World of Warcraft, K'aresh's Ghost, is out now, and the new raid Manaforge Omega will be open next Tuesday. This patch has a Sliiiightly Buggy Beginsbut Blizzard is actively working to clean up the problem. This will be the last patch of the war in the expansion, revealing the next expansion, midnight, Expected to be on Gamescom later this month.
