For those who hates the current Outlands, especially compared to the new old world, here are some hopes coming from a blue :

Blizzard said:
We also have remarked that if we are able to at some point in time, we'd like to revisit Outland to make it a better experience to move into.

At least they want to, it's a matter of when.

I expect absolute chaos for a few days. Maybe I'll just keep leveling my current dudes and create my goblin later.
 
New Druids tanking suck. I almost pee myself when I see a Warrior or Paladin tanking because I know I won't have to TANK AND HEAL.

Blizzard wants to do a lot of things. This will probably never, or happen way way way way out.

So I hit lvl 55 last night and will undoubtedly be traversing through Outlands soon. You guys are scaring me with your impressions of that outdated area.

Really? I expect by the next expansion something might be done with Outland and/or maybe even Northrend. More than likely, though, the next expansion we will see new areas again and maybe even new classes, as opposed to new races.

It's perfectly fine. People are just babies. It's not up to WOTLK snuff, but it's a far cry from terrible.

Fucking zones totally overloaded as usual. You'd think they would combat this tbh I can't see wh- "BY FIRE BE PURGED"

... Best expansion ever. :lol

I think I had heirlooms and did random dungeons a lot between quests. Went Hellfire -->Nesingwary Nagrand questline and bolted.

I got my Pally from 71 to 80 this past week. I had the BoA 10% xp shoulders and went Howling Fjord --> Dragonblight-->Grizzly Hills-->about 3/4ths of Sholozar --> 95% of Stormpeaks and I hit 80.

Completely skipped Zul'Drak and the tail end of Sholozar. Never had to step foot into Icecrown, although I did do the Argent Crusade quests at the beginning for a little extra $$$$.

Nagrand is still among the most beautiful areas in the game, IMO.

Cool, it sounds like I won't have much to complain about with Outlands, especially since I recently went from 1-47 in pre-patched areas. Last night I made it from 50-55 playing casually.

Ugh, forgot how utterly bottom of the barrel the WoW community is. Had the unfortunate delight of having to ask some cretin on how a quest works and had him flip out at me like he had aspergers.

Think I'll leave this for a few nights. :(

Oh god, smoke bomb is going to be nerfed and or removed shortly :lol

Is that really smoke bomb though? That ability is only learned at level 85...

I just leveled my vanilla rogue from 60 to 67 and I went through Hellfire, Zangarmarsh, Terokkar, and almost done with Nagrand. I skipped a few quests though.

I think the WoW community is alright, a large range of characters. From assholes to some really nice guys, you'll meet all kinds of people in WoW.

It's not like DotA where mostly everyone you meet is horrible.

Really? I can't count how many times random people have seen me questing and gone out of their way to shower me with gifts/money/buffs/advice. It's been one of the more positive online communities I've seen.

Quested around a few of the old world zones today just to see how Blizz updated them. It's neat to see how changed some stuff, but there's also plenty of "derp CATACLYSM CHANGED EVERYTHING" moments.

A good example is that the "Defias Cutpurses" hanging around outside of Stormwind have been changed to... wait for it... "Cutpurses." STORYLINE ADVANCEMENT.

Someone explain to me if this is normal, its been bugging me for months!

Why does things in the distance only show when they're in a corner of my screen? Example :

1) http://imgur.com/rWWLh.jpg
Just a bunch of mountains in Durotar

I move my camera to the left

2) http://imgur.com/1iesB.jpg
BOOM, giant tree out of nowhere!

I hate this shit. :( Im not even moving my character, only the camera.

Goblin starting areas are soooooo good.

Glad I didnt spoil this shit.
I hope they're not too goofy or filled with pop culture references. Getting so sick of that.

I mean I expect the gobbos to be humorous. They always have been. But I don't want anything like Harrison Jones infecting my experience, and I'm afraid the gobbos will be most susceptible to this bullshit.

The above makes me sound like some kind of lore nerd, which I am, but really I just don't like all the pop culture references. They're almost never cleverly implemented.

It has to do with the way Blizzard implements their camera perspective and draw distance algorithm, I assume. Unfortunately, I doubt there's a way around it.

But then I'd have to play a shitty Alliance character. Why would you want me to suffer like that?

I don't. Goblins are way better, just expect to embrace Town-in-a-Box.

Heh. Well, I really want to level a goblin, so it's not like I'm going to let it bother me enough to NOT level a goblin. I just find it annoying.
 
eee changing my rogue from undead to goblin tomorrow. I really want to be a female....but their hands are so damn big:lol I will have to see tomorrow during creation

Or you could just grow a thicker skin and realize that for every asshole there's someone who is nice and willing to help.

The switch flips at midnight PST, no matter what server you are on or where you are.

Goblin starting area is funny, but not crazy meme-y (at least after Kezan).

If you don't like Harrison Jones though, he's all over Vash'jir and Uldum (Uldum has tons of straight-up indiana jones scenes).

i knoooooow i heard ):

At least most of the pop culture references are just little things on the side, maybe a quest here and there. But to make him this hugely in-your-face character that follows you everywhere makes me nerdrage!!!

Had a quick run around Hyjal and the questing is kinda boring so far :/ Horde and alliance thrown together at some small outpost to begin with. Not particularily epic. The zone intro on the other hand...

Well, shit, dude, what do you want? Should they just leave them as Defias Cutpurses even though they're supposed to be taken out by the old world heroes? Given the situation in SW, what other sort of humanoid enemy would be lurking immediately beyond its walls?

Hyjal has some fun quests, a couple of epic ones towards the end as well.

81 and a half and time to call it a night, I am fucking shattered.
