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.

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
