I had planned to just solo quest to 85. That seems to be the fastest way and I have a lot of practice.

A few minutes before the fame started I got a text from a friend to queue for a few dungeons to get behind the worst of the rush.

We ran BRC until 81, the went and unlocked throne of the tides. Queued those two until nearly 82 then unlocked stone core and vortex pinnacle. We queued those randomly for a couple of hours until real life started to kick in: work, school, Kids.

Were into 83 with "the other group" just shy of 84. We'll be raiding by the weekend but missing server first 85s by 8 hours or do (guessing). And nobody cares. Tearing up new stuff chatting with old friends playing our favorite toons: it's been a while since we've had that much fun for so long.

Right now I'm looking at 85 sometime Thursday but well be fully geared for harder stuff.

Leveling dungeons are still easy gut way better than wrath. Looking forward to heroics.

Started of doing dungeons, ripped through the first two with ease and decided to go out questing after we hit 81, quested from 81-83 and I called it a night there. Heading to bed now (looks at the clock; 5:16 am...) and hopefully I'll hit 84-85 tonight :)

The new dungeons are a return to classic style trash extravaganzas. We're clearing in around 30 minutes each (killing almost every trash mob) with knowledge of the layout. We can survive an extra group but 2 or more extra groups rarely ends well.

School is fine for the day, home to the grind.

I haven't touched my account in a long time. I only have up to the The Burning Crusade on my account.

Is there any way I can get a trial for the updated game? With my account, or would have to be a new account and someone give me a trial.....

Don't think the trial is there yet.

I'm personally trying to use Free Character Migration to get away from my hugely overpopulated realm (4000+ queues), but it keeps giving me errors! Argh!

haha :p You'd have got the updated level 1 to 60 stuff with your account as is, but nothing wrong with buying cata anyway :shifty:

I thought I'd really hate Vashj'ir but I'm REALLY enjoying it so far, once you get your seahorse it's a lotta fun. There's a decent consistent story as well that shows just how far Blizzard has come in the past few years.

The little event before you arrive in Vash'jir is pretty epic in itself, they've got a fair amount of the story NPC's fully voice acted now which makes a big difference in the whole "atmosphere" of it all.

Replaced 4 of my epics already :o

The only annoying thing is being on a Horde dominated server can be a pain sometimes. Whist there's the usual ceasefire that occurs on every expansion release sometimes the Horde decide to dominate one quest hub which due our numbers being so low we can't do much about. I'm not fussed since it's my choice to be on a PvP server but still!

Edit: oh and met this guy a few hours before the expansion kicked in last night :p

Started right at midnight and was logged in the whole time... http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/tichondrius/sooprcow/advanced Also, Our guild got 9 out of the 10 server firsts (only didn't get the mage). Was a really fun night but I don't think I'll ever be able to do the all night, non stop, grind again. Was a fun experience though :)

gratz!

i hit 81 after about 4 hours total of slack attacking including afk smokes breaks and alt tabbing to browse forums, and ofc time dead thanks to a particular mage preist duo :p

then my bro logged in and we learned the hard way that you can't pvp in the area malfurion gives quests in. it seems like they really reduced the spawn area in this are compared to what it was at 4am this morning when i was there solo. in the morning i could barely kill one mob before another was spawned and attacking me, but tonight we were having a hard time just finding mobs for his quests.

then we got to the bit with the ogre cave and were just wrecking the **** out of the alliance in there for about 10-15 minutes running back and forth from the entrance to the end. most world pvp i've had in such as small time frame in a very long time. found out i already have the /hug an alliance corpse before they release achivement apparently. so i'm guessing he ended the night around 40-45% until 81.

overall great first day of the new expack. got some world pvp, got a level and some shiny new quest greens, made 500g.

still can't get mumble overlay to work though :( tried everything last night including admin mode and compatability with vista/xp, and the RC version of 1.2.3 no one else seems to have the same problem except with lotro either.

I couldn't get into it last night, queued for ages, ported to stormwind picked up some quests. teleported to hyjal, died twice armour was low so had go back and fix my gear, went back to hyjal, got lost and had to wait 15 minutes before i could go back to stormwind inn so i logged out lol.

This might be a 'stupid' question. Me and my girlfriend are lvl 76 now, when we hit 80 where do we go for the 80 - 85 quests? We are horde...

go to the main courtyard in org. there is a bulletin board looking thing next to the guild NPCs. it will give you quests chains to go to mt hyjal and vashjir.

oh does anyone know where to go in hyjal after you do the area with the druid on a mount and injured fawn escort quests? there was no "go to the next place" type quest after i was done there.

it seems like i've covered all of the green parts of hyjal, next will be the black volcanic bits.

unless i have to go to vahsjir.

I got around to playing last night. My brother and I went to Hyjal, and I have to say I like the fact that story is put in the foreground now. The voice-acted NPC mini-movies are pretty cool. We quested until about half way to 81, then we did BRC a few times until we hit 81. It was a pretty fun. The bosses had some cool mechanics, and it was a lot of fun doing a new instance that we had no prior knowledge of. (I prefer to stay away from beta-spoilers).

I love the progressive quest that they had in BRC. You get a helmet communication device and you get new quests as you move through the dungeon without having to backtrack all the way to the quest-NPC at the beginning of the instance. Very slick. I hope they do this for other dungeons.

I played for about 20 mins lastnight. The server my 80 is on is very horde controlled, and lucky me I am alliance. So the entire questing start area (in the boat under water) was just a gank fest for hordies, it really sucked.

That is why i moved from a PVP to a PVE server a few years ago.

I have gotten half way to 82, been questing mostly however, I have also done Throne of Tides, and Blackrock Caverns twice each. Been questing in Vash'ir most likely I will move from there and go else where and wait until I am 85 before I start questing in Mount Hyjal. Eventually I will quest in all of the new available zones.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
