Well, I'm exalted with the fish guys. I like em - nice characterisation, pleasant quests - some quite amusingly named. Getting to exalted was way quick though and was really just an aspect of completing the quests. No one here worked for it. Talking of amusing that woose Rell is starting to make nelfs look bad - the dwarf, human and fish guy just spend all their time carrying him around. I loved the sniper quest - took me back to my Counter Strike days.
I'm almost 86 and am very happy with the pace of levelling - not too fast and plenty to see and do. Even some time to hang with the locals...
There he is - look at him with his crazy blue eyes and teeny tiny little arms, who wouldn't love him!
Recent activity BGs - full O bots! Almost whole teams (sometimes ours, sometimes horde) just standin' around looking at the clouds... sad really. Questing - still in the starting zone. I like it - very pretty. Got a new suite - check it out my man, I is purple!! I also gained over 20K hits and almost 15% crit - mwah ha ha haa! First aid - levelled it in a matter of minutes. Astonishingly easy.
Ollo folks! This is Ennadee's Twirling Longbow - it's sleek and beautiful and due to the changes to dwarven racials it's just as good for this dwarf as a hand cannon (which is nice as that constant blam blam really starts to shit me after a while).
what a mess!
I wish I could say my keybinds were in such good order... I don't remember hunters having quite this amount of defensive abilities. I'm not complaining but sheesh, finding a spot for everything is insane. I've reached the opinion that deconstructing everything now is the way to go - hence the above. I'm going to have to get a pen and paper...
Closing this post, Syltaryn asked if I screen-shotted the choppa craziness from launch day - sure did!
Syltaryn warned me against it and yet off I went anyway. Frostmourne was locked so after queuing for over 3 hours I was in.
Got on my hunter, Sidetrack, and checked spec (my MM was intact - not BM which I intend to get back into but I knew the MM buttons so I stayed with it for the moment) got my glyphs lined up, took levelling/PVP oriented talents and specced my fiery dog, Sideburns, as ferocity. The I caught a plane to Pandaria!
... alone with the rest of the server...
Potentially the first bombing-run quest is working as intended but with a million button presses all happening at the same time it got not pretty real quick. I had to off 60 horde and 8 something somethings which I managed by firing for targets waaay off in the distance (as the close ones were mown down in a Alliance rocket frenzy) but once we got to the boat at the end of the run there was a strange DNA-like strand of players in copters floating eerily whilst overlapping each other and all firing madly as they tried to break out of the loop.
Few made it. I was not one of them.
/1 in the zone was mad with everyone talking to each other and...
Sidetrack: anything you typed turned up four times! Sidetrack: anything you typed turned up four times! Sidetrack: anything you typed turned up four times! Sidetrack: that's right, anything you typed turned up four times!
The nerdrage and threats towards Blizzard flowed freely which was most amusing.
Hopped out of my copter and got out of the zone and logged.
I won't be back on until tomorrow night when I'll spend some time respeccing to BM and getting my dino out again - woohoo!
