I've gotten in! And loaded a character! What is this sorcery?

 

[Rizzi]

Wait, you need herbs to make gems now? What is this even.

 

[JORMBO]

Almost done Talador. Why does this zone's quests give less XP then the last 2 zones?

 

[ampere]

Up to 614 ilevel now woo. Already have the 680 legendary quest ring because the apexis quest isn't required atm. Seems like a bug

 

[LAUGHTREY]

Expansion is about story, not doing as many quests as possible as fast as possible.

 

[Karl Hawk]

Around what iLVL should I start trying Heroics?

From what I've heard, 610 is the required ilvl to do Heroics

 

[antonz]

Getting the tavern is the only way to guarantee a skinning follower which you need to work the barn though.

You build an inn and you can recruit any specialization etc.

You already have a legendary? Lmao, goddamn!

I feel like I'm missing so much =[ not even level 91 yet because of these damn queues.

 

[Apt101]

I am Alliance. I finished up the quest line with Rexxar in Gorgrond and obtained the artifact. Now where do I go? I've run all over the place and cannot find any more quests.

Ah, I see. It's bugged. This NPC here at the outpost is supposed to offer the next step, but he's not. Submitted a ticket. But I don;t have patience for progress halting bugs. If they can't fix it I'll just charge this fucking game game and see what happens.

 

[Dresden]

Apparently pvp gear is dropping like manna out of the sky from lockboxes and Ashran, too. Sounds like something that'll get nerfed soon, because god forbid people gear up without sitting in AV for twenty hours.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Yes, but those are randomized AFAIK. It could take awhile.

Anyway, position 4800+, this'll be a joy.

Well it's an epic, just part of that questline.

Oh okay. Still, nice work!

How do you like the expansion so far? Sounds like you've actually been able to play a decent amount.

 

[antonz]

Nope you can pick you want a tailor or leatherworker or specific damage types etc.

Dunno about that. They REALLY want people in Ashran.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Ashran is fun but when 3 200% boosted guys lead a 10 man raid into the alliance base it becomes significantly less fun. At least the NPCs don't fall that easily.

"After carefully monitoring server performance for the last few hours, we are now testing raising realm capacity above normal population caps. We’re going to temporarily increase the population cap on a few realms in North America, and observe them closely. Our next update will be in approximately an hour."

About 10 mins ago.

So the US get to be the guinea pigs this time.

edit: I think I logged off in my garrison. fuck. can't log in -_-

Yep my server Sargeras is one of the test subjects. While in Queue I suddenly leapt forward 1000 places.

 

[Robin64]

Spent all my resources on getting garrison to tier 3. Looks badass.

Promptly got my ass kicked by boss pets for the menagerie quest.

 

[Fularu]

Same on MG

The wait time is still the same though.

Our servers are going to be the kings of the afkers sadly.

 

[Data West]

If the grace period was working, I'd say they should dc the instance servers and restart them so people who are legit in can get right back in and people who are afking are left to sit in line again.

 

[Tc91]

Joined the queue before I went to work at 5pm.

Just got through the door, turn on my screen, 1500+ left.

Jesus fucking christ.

 

[Fularu]

1712 mins wait

lol

 

[vocab]

Dumb. Dumb.
Dumb.
Dumb.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

Hah Llane has no queues. Other than when they've brought the servers down, I've never had a problem logging in once since launch

 

[Chris R]

Finally in the 4ks when it comes to queuing! I might get to play tonight!

 

[Jag]

Just did the epic Hunter spirit beast quest to tame Gara. I did it at 95 but you have to kill lvl 100 epic mobs including a boss. Great quest that takes you to every zone. I wanted the pet for the rest of my leveling, but it is doable at lower levels.

 

[Boogdud]

So, does anyone know how to actually initiate a garrison 'patrol mission'? I keep seeing it mentioned and I can talk to one of my followers and request that they come with me on a patrol mission, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to go on one.. >.>

 

[antonz]

They are rolling out the increased server pop cap to all servers now. Seems the extra 1000+ players didn't kill the servers.

Patrol missions are simply a type from the table you can send followers on. Not involved with you at all

 

[antonz]

.stupid double post

 

[Rokam]

At this rate I'm not even going to reach 100 till next month with DA:I and FC4 coming out on Tuesday.

 

[Fjordson]

Game is running surprisingly smooth right now. Knock on wood they don't come down soon!

 

[Rokam]

I should be on by Wednesday afternoon!

 

[Yoshichan]

Okay, I'm back. What did I miss? (Been away for 12h)

Any exploits, bugs or whatever I should be aware of?

edit: still que, 5k...

 

[Fularu]

3 hours later. Still a 1550 queue!

Never been that bad for me and I play since february 2005!

Thanks! I was going crazy trying to find them lol.

edit: still que, 5k...

You know, at this point they should be offering free server transfers for people on realms with that kind of queue. That's ridiculous.

 

[Data West]

Once I got under 2k the queue became ridiculously slow

 

[ZenaxPure]

Post Master plz, stop sending me literally every single item I didn't loot inside dungeons.

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

At the 2k mark.

Probably gonna be another 2-3 hours at least, making queue time 5-6 hours.

Pretty absurd.

And there are definitely people gaming the AFK system to avoid getting kicked, making the whole problem worse.

 

[theta11]

Just got in on Tichondrius, took 4 hours 30 minutes ish from a 3800 queue.

 

[Mothman91]

Any tips/help on what to do/quickly gear up once you hit 100? I'm a few bars away, once I get home later tonight I'll ding.

 

[vocab]

I just want to hit 100 on my shaman, and start leveling my monk (ele looking grim). This queue is garbage.

Enhance isn't much better either.

And that is why I'm leveling my rogue.

Apparently Ashran is p.good right now.

 

[theMrCravens]

So are the main story quests pretty long and epic in scope, or does it stop halfway to 100 or something ? Is it mostly solo centric ?

I've been watching my cousin play the intro, and it looked pretty damn awesome.

Longstanding story from Cataclysm and Pandaria finally ends when you finish the last zone. The story started with WOD carries beyond the last zone

3.5k now! Queue is moving boys!

He told me those games had specific quests to the story, but not in the same way WoD is going for right from the start with their Chapter Quests thingy.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Should I just stop sending guys on missions to save up for my level 3 garrison? Unless it's a GR-reward mission, I mean.
