I managed to run through the last two wings of LFR earlier this week, including the final wing with Tindal and Fyrakk. As a casual LFR hero, I must say that I'm much happier with this LFR installment than I have been in a long time. These fights are challenging without being overwhelming. Fyrakk is the first end-of-expansion boss in a long time where I've come out of the fight NOT saying "I will never do this fight ever again." For me, LFR should be about getting to see the content and potentially getting some rewards that are basically on par with what you can get from World Quests and other events. I think they've hit that balance nicely with this last raid. The fights are challenging and interesting. You have to understand the mechanics and adapt, so it's not just a face roll, but it's not so difficult that you'll be pounding your head against a wall for hours waiting for 10 stacks of determination.
I did have one odd thing happen this week. I had a tier piece drop for me, and I had another warlock in the group absolutely beg me for it, saying it was the last one he needed for this 4-piece set bonus.
I happily gave it to him because I already had 445 gloves in that spot (just a purchase from the Dream Wardens), and I hadn't been to the Catalyst yet to switch the last two pieces to tier pieces. Is it possible that there are folks out there doing raids and such who aren't aware that you can use the Catalyst to convert any gear to a tier piece? /shrug
Anyway, this person was thrilled to death that I gave them the tier piece, even though it was way less of a big deal than they probably thought. So glad I could make someone's day.
Also, the final series of campaign and post-Fyrakk kill quests are beyond sappy (tree pun fully intended). So ensure you're prepared for overdone attempts to tug at your heartstrings.
Beyond that, I'm still doing Niffem and Dream Warden world quests on Joar for rep until I get those maxed out.
In leveling news, I did get my Demon Hunter to level 70 using the Timewalking event and anniversary bonuses, and I'm now working on Shadow Priest, who is currently at 69. After that, I'll be working on the Rogue. I've always hated leveling rogues since they got rid of the Combat spec, so this will probably be another one where I just try to chain-run dungeons to get it over with.
In Final Fantasy XIV, I've primarily been working on my Island Sanctuary, which is now at level 17. I unlocked the final area of the cave, got a new set of tools to use in said cave, and also upgraded my Cozy Cabin to something large and ridiculous-looking, which I think is the final upgrade.
I had no activity at all in Guild Wars 2 or ESO this week.
Cheers,
Joar
