The Cycle of Life World Quest in Patch 8.1.5

Recommended Posts

Wyzf6Bv.jpg

The Cycle of Life is a new world quest added in Patch 8.1.5, where you don't help turtles reach water, but the direct opposite, you become a crab and kill them so that they DON'T reach water.

A new Tortollan Seekers world quest called "The Cycle of Life" can be found in Patch 8.1.5. It's the opposite of Beachhead, where you must kill crabs and albatrosses to help turtles reach water. In "The Cycle of Life" you take on the role of an Armored Claw and gain access to three abilites:

  • 1. Move Left Move Left - Take a step to the left.
  • 2. Move Right Move Right - Take a step to the right.
  • 4. Throw Turtle Shell Throw Turtle Shell - Throw your turtle shell in a straight line. Any turtles caught in its path won't make it to the water.

The goal is to avoid being hit by the yellow swirls on the ground by moving left/right, and at the same time, you must cross the turtles' path. If you come into contact with a turtle, it will instantly die and you will be able to throw their shell in a straight line to kill all turtles caught in its path (Throw Turtle Shell Throw Turtle Shell). The quest will be completed once you prevent 20 turtles from reaching water. If you get killed by the swirls just talk to Scrollsage Nola to start over.

Cruel. Now we only need a PvP version of this whack-a-mole, where one player controls the crab and one throws out the spell, then we've got the most annoying minigame in WoW history.

''The recycle of life''  I wonder if in future expansions we turn in a boss and the old bosses raid us for our loot.

Ugh. So they make an annoying quest then pat themselves on the back how the nuisance brings the community together with a shared experience then they make another annoying quest and will again sit there and talk about what geniuses they are for making content that no one enjoys.

You have the option to ignore and do other quests....no one is forcing anyone to do any of the emissary world quests.  Those are entirely up to the player.   

I am surprised that there is not a title achievement for doing those save the turtle quests.

Eg)  <Player Name> Likes Turtles.

How does not doing those quests change anything about my comment? They still exist, they still took resources to make and Blizzard still believes that making a quest that the vast majority of people don't find fun, compelling or worthwhile was a good idea.

Instead of belly aching over them move on to other things.  Blizz is not going to change them just to make you and you alone happy.  Go do the Shell game or Maze game instead.  You have 3 days to complete it.  It's not like someone has a weapon to your head and telling you these are in the game you gotta do it.  Again you have the option to do these quests or not.  There is nothing mandatory in doing them unless you want the reward.  And believe it or not there are people out there right this second that are enjoying this expansion as of now.  Shocking for your simpleton mind I know.  Don't like WoW:BFA?  Go play a different MMO for a while and take a break.

This "everything is sh!t and I gotta let the whole world know and argue/ruin it for others" mentality gets old and stale.  But I'm not going to take your stick away while you fume and beat that dead horse some more.

Reading comprehension is pretty cool. I'd suggest it to you.

Maybe less moaning/groaning and play a different MMO instead of being a forum troll.

I just did this WQ for the first time and found it hilarious and awesome, after the obnoxiousness of the Beachhead one. Also, if you die as the crab, for a few seconds after it jets you out of the scenario you can kill the turtles yourself. They appear as red enemies, but you only have until they reach the water. And they count toward your total, which doesn't reset between attempts. Lol!

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
