One interesting thing I found is after clearing out some mementos and scrapping unwanted gear, the tooltips for my Versatility on my character sheet still keeps going up, even though I can't assign more ranks to my weapon. I wonder if this is a bug or if you can really push your Versatility higher.

I hit rank 999 on my primary Legion Remix character. Now I can take it easy with Mythics and just focus on finishing out the achievements I have left. It has been fun doing this once, but I suspect future Remixes I won't try do to 'all the things' again.

Nah, my girl (foreground) is a smart, floofy thing who just wants to soak up all the love from her family. My boy, while he can be a gremlin at times, likes to embody ADHD on four paws. But he too will be cute and adorable as he feels like it.

Hoo. Even with 401 points of versatility (max is 999) on my weapon, a rank 50 Mythic+ is rough. We beat it with four seconds left on the timer. At least that achievement is done. :)

Hmm, has Brann snapped and started trying to cull those he perceives as weak? ;)
Seriously, I assume it was one of the illusion mobs from The Sinkhole. I've even had "Steeltrap" as the illusions trying to kill me.

Here's one of my own 'dumb deaths' tombstones. Amusingly, a friend found it unexpectedly while running the same delve. That was a complete coincidence as neither of us knew the other was running delves that day.
The second picture is of my own alt seeing the same tombstone, 4 days(!) later. #wow

One final bit in #wow Delves is that you sometimes find mobs with the title "Slayer of " in a delve. If you kill the mob, aka, avenge that character, you *both* get a buff for 10 minutes. That's very cool as it is a tiny bit of social connectivity in what would otherwise be a solo effort.

Another thing are tombstones. If you die you create a tombstone with the date, time, and how you died. You can find a few tombstones of others. They are always worth reading, especially when there's a humorous death involved, just like this example of a quite avoidable death on the hardest setting.

Sometimes delves will have a Flicker Gate. You'll get one of three things, an automatic loot chest at the end, a mini-boss to kill and if successful, a loot chest at the end, or rarely a bypass portal that gives you the option to quickly finish the delve and get full rewards.

In #wow Season 3 Delves added some fun little items. Here's a few of mine.
The first is my DK alt, Verkosa. I had run this particular delve successfully (Tier 10, used the portal) and had switched to another character. I was surprised to see this ghostly image and quite delighted.

I joined a PUG on a whim and got the achievement and title. :) I'm glad that is done. I'll probably still try for the solo achievement, but since the appearance for the mount will still be available after the season is over, I'm not going to be fussed about the solo achievement now.

Some times you just get effing lucky in #wow. I wanted this mount for this character and it spawned on top of her as I was futzing around doing a low level quest.
The NPC is notorious for having an 8+ hour respawn timer with multiple respawn points and only having a 10% chance to drop the mount.

I hit Honor level 90 (out of 100) in #Swtor today. Only 10 more (long) levels to go. :)
(Yeah, I used a Token of Valor to push me over to 90, but at this level Tokens are like a drop of water in a five gallon bucket. I still have close to 400 matches and 80+ hours of PvP play to hit 100. From 90.)

I think this sums up (for me) just how badly SSG has botched the transfer process to the new servers. Even when the Transfer button appears it doesn't even work with the basic functionality you expect, ie show you the servers you have characters on. Even though I can see them and log in. :sigh:

Brann is now at 60. While I hope they don't add more levels, I'm pretty sure they will the next season. :sigh:

Well, that's done. Now I can focus for a time on getting the recipes needed to craft the sets, plus old recipes otherwise unobtainable. I do want to collect a few of the other T3 sets, but that's a long, long term goal since the process is very expensive (read, in Whale territory).

Here's my first screenshot from the open beta. Towards the end I wanted to capture the looks of the characters I had played. While Reavia remained pretty close in appearance the version of Pallais that went live was noticeably different.

Don't be like me and not notice the Hide UI button on Wow's character select screen when taking a screenshot of your warband (or single character). Oops.
