I started my first character on Exodus which has the Preferred Realm bonus to XP. I chose this because, hey, free XP, and the min/maxer in me wouldn't allow for anything less.

I'm about to fight Titan for the first time (level 34 MSQ) and my Bard is level 44 . I've been avoiding all side quests, only doing MSQ and class quests. Last night I did a random duty and got over 600k xp - literally 2 levels.

So, two questions:

• If I hit 50 while still doing MSQs, will I be capped there until I get into Heavensward content, or will I continue to get XP?
• Should I start a second job now and start to funnel some of that XP towards the second job?

Mining Productivity research changed in this patch to increase to +10% per level, but 5x the cost. Some of us noticed that this was a pretty large change to the overall cost, especially as you get into Infinite research - basically an 80% reduction.

Kovarex has confirmed that they will be changing the prices again in 0.17.6 to something more reasonable, and in tune with the previous versions.

Yes, asymptotically it was actually 5 times cheaper. So I fixed it for 0.17.6.
The cost will be like this:
Level 1: 250 (red + green)
Level 2: 500 (+blue)
Level 3: 1000 (+purple+yellow)
of level 4+ is (level - 3) * 2500

So

The sixth and final tier of Mission Table advancements is listed as requiring the Azerothian Diplomat achievement, which is Revered with the 6 major factions. Does it also require that we have the fifth tier (Warfront victory against 3 unique enemy Commanders) unlocked?

Cho'gall, War Mode off, stuck in looting stance and can't mount up.

EDIT: Cho'gall showing offline now. Hopefully it'll be back soon!
EDIT 2: Cho'gall, Laughing Skull, and Auchindoun (linked realms) are offline.

EDIT 3: Those three appear back up, others in the comments are reporting problems with a handful of others.

It was fun while it lasted.

But near the end? The following words got me a purge/ban:

• Fuck
• (puke)
• Cancer

Fuck Twitch.

Trying EU and AS servers

• EU goes for ~10 seconds then "Matchmaking cancelled"
• AS is just sitting there on "Matching"

Anybody else?

EDIT: Now I'm unable to queue for anything. Looks like they're having trouble. Oh well, it's getting close to bedtime anyways.

EDIT 2: From @PUBATTLEGROUNDS:

We are aware of the server issues right now and are working hard to get them back online. Please bear with us!

Minor South Park spoilers from this week below

This week South Park introduced one of its themes for the season in the form of "Member Berries" which are fruits that adults use to help them calm down and relax. They get their name from a shortened form of "remember" and, as they await to be eaten, say thing like "'member Chewbacca?" or "'member Spock?".

They are an analogue to nostalgia and our innate desire to see only what we've seen before. J. J. Abrams is featured in the episode because of how he has remade Star Trek and Star Wars, but really has told the same story with a slight twist.

I fear Legion is going to follow the same route. Legion is a J. J. Abrams "reboot" of The
