It would be weird for PvP, they'd have to address that somehow. I guess if it scaled everyone fighting each other on equal footing that might work. Higher level players would still have a gear advantage and all skills unlocked, but doing 1000000x a lower level player's health in one hit isn't really a necessary part of the game

If I could choose any expansion pack as a starting point, Cata would have to be omitted for obvious reasons, and I could choose to start a level 1 toon in The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King or Mists of Pandaria because of level scaling, that would be simply amazing. Roll a panda from The Wandering Isle right into Pandaria. Roll a DK right into WotLK. Roll a Belf whatever right into TBC,
Hyjal > Vashjir > Twilight Highlands >>>> Deepholm > Uldumb
Really moving along now on my Mage. Was 85 at the start of the weekend, but with Friday and today off from work I was able to hit 90 just now. He's great. I may start with him in Legion. It's also been cool leveling horde for the first time. Furthest I'd ever got in the past was like mid-40's I think.
Totally agree. Went through a few of them over the weekend (mainly Vashj'ir and Uldum) and they're a lot of fun. Hyjal is good also.

They're super spread out and a level 1-59 might have difficulty navigating the world to get to them.
Vashj'ir > Deepholm > Twilight Highlands > Hyjal > Uldum IMO.
I love Vashj'ir, and usually do the majority of my 80-85 leveling there. I don't repeat the next two as often, but I still enjoy the zones. Hyjal drags for me, and I've disliked Uldum since launch.
If there was level scaling it would not really matter as to whether they were spread or not, but every Cata zone has lead in quests from a capital city that often teleport or ferry you to the zone except Uldum.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
First of all, I wanted to apologize that it took me so long to respond to these but never late than never, I suppose:
I just started my character today! I decided to play yesterday because I just wanted to get into it as soon as possible. I started a human mage on Stormrage, so if you would like to join up, I would be down with that!
I looked at Whisperwind, and the fact that you can have twice as many toons is awesoke, but I heard so many good things about Stormrage on Alliance side that I wanted to give it a try.
Yeah, Sargeras, Whisperwind, and Stormrage were my top three but I went with Stormrage. I wish there was more or less an official GAF server like Guild Wars 2, but I can always transfer my character to a different server if need be.
Thank you all to the responses. I appreciate it and I'm sorry I forgot to respond until just now. =P

Uldum was quite fun once but it sucks to repeat. I never do it on alts (to be fair, I only do parts of hyjal, lots of deepholm, and some of twilight now).
No changes to crates you already have in your bags (but the salvage yard itself is getting nerfed to give worse crates in the patch), but they are worth hanging onto if you want easy items to fill out your transmog tab when the patch hits. Since their loot table is huge it is an easy source of items you most likely don't have the appearance for.
If you don't care about that then just open them whenever.
As far as I'm concerned all cata zones suck for replayability since you have to do most of the quests in the same order every time.
But Uldum still has harrison jones, goblin hitler and a turkey, and it looks amazing.
Tbh I'm surprised people like Twilight Highlands, I thought it was the most boring, annoying, ugly shit since Silithus, and it's even worse considering it's a "final" zone.
Uldum is probably the zone I was looking forward to the most in Cata, as I have a massive thing for mythology and Egyptian is one of my favourites. I was supremely disappointed that half the zone was a lazy replay of Indiana Jones while the Tol'vir storyline (which was interesting) could have done with more expansion.
Cata goes Deepholm > Vashj'ir > Hyjal > Twilight Highlands > Uldum.

Fuck it, let's have a Aszhara/Old gods expansion focusing on all of Azeroth, remake the 1-60 questing AGAIN with epic questing/difficulty now found in Legion. Add the scaling technology so you can level in any zone how you choose, along with adding new world quests to all continents(Northrend, Pandaria, EK, Kalimdor), new world bosses, raids, and all other features that a new expansion might hold.
Jesus.
Salvage Yard crates? Crates obtained before 7.0 will not change, and crates obtained after 7.0 are a different item ID and are basically worthless to prevent people from feeling the need to keep using their Garrison
So no risk in waiting until 7.0 to open them to make it easier for your bank space.

It really is incredible. A staple minor run speed boost we've always had to a shitty burst with a THREE MINUTE COOLDOWN. What the hell.
My guess is they are taking mobility boosters away from ranged classes and moving them to melee which makes sense. I'm guessing this is a pvp change which sucks for people don't pvp.
I wonder what this is.
It appeared on the Kalimdor map during patch 4.0 and has been there ever since. Clearly it's a placeholder size test thingy, but it doesn't seem to match any zone that has come out since 4.0, not that I can tell.
GM island?

Actually I bet it was the Lost Isles, and it was going to be part of the Kalimdor landmass before they decided to make it a seperate map. The basic shape and size is similar.
GM Island actually was on the Kalimdor map, right up in the north west, until players figured out they could float to it from a high point in Teldrassil.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm kind of amazed at how Deathwing, who is the biggest most badass and lore-important Dragon in the Warcraft universe manages to have the raid with the shittiest dragon mount drops. There should be a drake that has deathwing-style plating or an actual twilight dragon that looks like Ultraxion. Not just vanilla drake recolors and those alexstraza wannabees.
Yeah that's a bit underwhelming.
Ultraxion should drop a... wait for it... Ultraxion mount.

I think that would work for leveling if you had the option to turn it off. Like if I want to go faceroll something and I'm a level 80, I should have that option.
That's the easiest part!
Eat a dick.
Eat ALL the dicks.
Congrats, you bastards. I keep farming Invincible but I don't know why. Over like 150 attempts. If I could turn off the talking sections it would be a lot more bearable. That's one of the reason I haven't done ultraxion.
it was really bad, like REALLLY bad
I got invincible on my first try.
If they give us more hairstyles before they fix worgens (particularly female worgen) it'd be an injustice. They look so bad now. Didn't they say they had plans to do it?
Experiment 12-B is the only Dragon Soul mount I haveYeah that's a bit underwhelming.
Ultraxion should drop a... wait for it... Ultraxion mount.
It's like the second ugliest mount in the game next to the god-awful Albino Drake.
Man, I must have horrible luck with the crates. Put the salvage yard in over a year ago and it's always just crappy greens and vendor trash.
Lmao, that's a good point. I don't mind the blazing drake / life-binder's, but more Deathwing-esque mount would be dope.

Question folks,
I have a US WoW account but play from India
Can I buy from eu battle.net and still be fine?

When the F is the pre-patch? Have they not announced a date?
Are the lore events coinciding with 7.0 or are those different
Are the lore events coinciding with 7.0 or are those different
That would have went against the overall theme of Dragonsoul which was all about cobbling together old assets in the most underwhelming way possible.
Experiment 12-B should have been a BWD drop, would have made a lot more sense there.
I actually enjoy the Alexstraza looking mounts myself though.
That's like half the reason people are saving them though. There are literally hundreds of green armor sets with models that can only be obtained via world drops and the salvage crate loot table covers every single expansion. It's a very easy way to get a lot of those appearances.

It has been suggested that Blizzard will announced PvP season end date today, which would also tell launch date of pre-expansion patch.
I don't fancy the Warlock changes so it looks like ill jump over to DH during the early access to them before the expansion hits whenever they unlock during the pre-patch.
Them glaives!
Them glaives!
I hope they do it within a week or so of the pre-patch at least so I can use it during the events that unfold before the expansion is upon us.

Completely agree. But I guess they felt they did the deathwing mounts with the nether drakes.
Not sure what you are asking, you want to make an EU WoW account on your b.net account? You should be able to do that from anywhere in the world as well, but US and EU WoW accounts are totally separate
