FWIW, I was at Best Buy yesterday to pick up WotLK, and of the 8 people in front of me at the checkout, 7 were picking it up...

I'd be down for one, even be willing to transfer my Warrior over...stilll, doesn't seem like there's much momentum for oneTadale said:
For the record, I am LOVING the sped up leveling in Outland. My Death Knight is level 64, and just finished off Zangarmarsh. So much better than before. Hell, I'm contemplating just skipping over Terrokar, because I dislike that zone. Plus, being a frost knight, Nesingwary's quests should be a blast.:lol

Just did the Wrathgate event, with the movie. Holy fuck at what I saw (no spoilers here folks!). Any fans of lore has to do it. The rewards were pretty good too.
Also, Borean Tundra is the Alliance's Barrens Chat =(
So glad I went to Howling Fjord. Almost 75 on my warrior too, woot.

yeah i was suprised, i didnt expect a cinematic out of nowhere.
at what happened
I won't spoil it for you guys, but the final boss in Drak'Tharon Keep is one of the neatest 5man boss encounters Blizz has ever designed.
Edit: Now that I've been through both, Howling Fjord >>>>>> Borean Tundra. The zone is much more interesting and impressive visually, the story/questlines more compelling, and the quests themselves are more fun. And there's a lot less traffic. At least on the Alliance side.

Loving the expansion so far, done all of Howling Fjord and that got me to lvl 72, moved over to Borean Tundra and questing there. I think that HF was a lot better than BT, mostly because of the design of the zone, felt very nordic-vikingy, and huge storm giants stomping all over the place. BT is nice in it's own way, but I feel the zone lacks consitency, it's like BEM.
Stormed through Azjol Nerub and Ahn'Kahet too, we were way too overgeared so we didn't have any problems whatsoever, though I thought it was kinda stupid to waste Anub'Arak on a 5-man, should've been a raid boss instead..

I love the Norse influence in the Fjord a lot. And I think it's a beautiful zone, really.
And as a horde player 'forced' to play on a PvP server by friends, I also appreciate the lack of alliance players.
It seems like most alliance don't go there since it's such a hassle for them to get there.What tree are you guys using to level your DK and are you using any sort of leveling guide? Only got the expansion yesterday but managed to get mine to 60 within a few hours, was pretty hilarious killing mobs five levels higher without any real trouble and just walking from mob to mob without even thinking of stopping.
Regretting that I picked BElf, my supposed badass sword looks more like a toothpick =(

couple of questions, does the Death Knight feel like a Hero class or just another class? I have a warlock from long ago, did they fix or improve their defense abilities? I hated after using a death coil it was gg until it was up again.
Looks like Naxx didn't even last the weekend.

Yeah, this is true. The author of the article was kind of funny in his bitterness though. I think it's cool. There's always those who will get done with things first. Some would call it blowing through the content...but the content isn't going anywhere so if you miss some, go back to it.

There was an attempt at a GAF guild on gurubashi, but it crashed and burned. Still, it's where i leveled up to 70 (just started playing back in jan). If someone wants to start another GAF guild I'd be down, there really should be an official one. (Plus, I have no real-life friends that play WoW)Kyoufu said:

Naxx was cleared on the first day it was open on beta, why would that be surprising?
You can't really design content with the expectations that the really hardcore guilds won't shatter it instantly. Those people are insane. 3 days to get a heroic sized raid group to 80 and clear Naxx... Man, I like WoW but even if I was unemployed and had no relationship, friends or family I don't think I could do that.
The only roadblocks the crazies ever had was like when things just... didn't work. Ala Nef, C'thun, early SSC, etc.

I think Nihilum and SK gaming are being paid to play by sponsors. I mean, 11 million people looking up news on them with a sponsor ads around it... probably could rival a single football franchise. XDAlex said:Naxx was cleared on the first day it was open on beta, why would that be surprising?

Actually, lets check that. Seems the these guys have...beaten all of the PvE Raid content in Wrath to this point?

I think Uldar is in the first LK patch. It also has a ton of class things in it that didnt make the end of beta, so I'm sure it won't be too far off. Well, I'd hope not.
Still, I doubt it's of much cause for concern for those who recall what sunshine actually feels like.
A few are sponsored, yeah, but even still, ughhh...
Now we get to sit back and listen to the freakshows bitch about content, now they've skipped all of it to zerg down entry level raid dungeons.
Doesn't matter though, while I enjoy raiding and did a little hardcore stint myself in AQ40 and Naxx 60, I very much applaud Blizzard from moving a fair deal away from the Everquest-model, which was sheer masochism designed to fill some creepy gap for people with no job and no life.

I didn't pay attention to this during the TBC launch but you are totally right. These people just rushed past most of the content of the expansion to clear the latest raid instances as soon as possible. Now all they have to do is bitch and whine until m,ore raids are implemented so they can be the first to do those as well, jeez.Alex said:
And yeah i spent the last 34 out 65 hours playing a death knight because i wanted to get to northrend, but i am certainly feeling the strain by now and need a major break from the game.

I wound up going back to Outlands for a bit to do some quests. My server is a gong show even in the middle of the night over in Northrend. It's surprisingly fun catching up on these remaining quests, even if the XP is a little slower. Also, given how quiet it is, the whole experience is also very relaxing not having to fight with a dozen other people for the latest spawn. I'll head back to Northrend after it's quieted down a fair bit and I can experience it in a more natural fashion, and not the hyperactive state that it's currently in.
Did some instances today, first The Nexus for the second time, then Drak'tharon Keep (dunno why, but the colors and style reminded me of Crash Bandicoot's levels...) and lastly Azjol-nerub and Ahn'Kahet: The Old Kingdom. So far, of all the instances I saw Azjol and Ahn'Kahet are the ones I liked the most as far as deisgn and encounters difficulty. The Nexus is cool too visually, but I only found the last fight to be entertaining.
I also managed to hit 73 with my Holy Paladin so now after Divine Plea and BoW, I got the new BoM as well.
Oh, and wanted to ask, didn't Blizzard buff Blessing of Might from 305 atk power to 306 atk power so that it could better coexist with the Warrior shout? Because I kinda laughed my ass off when I couldn't get Greater Blessing of Might on a Hunter because he had the Warrior shout on him... which gave 307 AP vs my BoM that gave 306 AP. Well, at least 73 brought out the new BoM so maybe it wont be a problem for a little while.
Oh, and man, people in Europe level way too fast. I got spammed alot today with the server first 80s, and got told there was already a 78 DK roaming around.

My warrior tanks in a mix of T4, Sunwell badge loot, and Shattered Sun gear. For PVE solo'ing I have a mix of Season 1/Season 2 honor gear.
My warlock uses Frozen Shadoweave and T4 for DPS, along with some Shattered Sun gear.
At what point should I start running dungeons with each character? I'm interested in places like Utgarde Keep, but I kinda doubt I'll start seeing upgrades there.
