Recently I was given Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm. And, well, shit. I may break this up into other smaller posts or I will forget about it completely.
The new:
I started with a Worgen so I could see one of the new classes and new old world. The starting area for them is heavily scripted and phased from the rest of the world. I kind of spaced out on the fiction time line presented during all the events, but it was pretty good. The changes in the world itself are interesting I actually stopped questing in the 20′s so I am sure I’ve missed something but no one reads quest logs anyway. I have been looking around the zones when I go to farm professions and, yeah, shit has gone wrong.
Some of the changes I’ve been noticing may have come in WotLK but they are still new to me. The easier leveling I feel is because of lowered XP requirements. It is not taking me nearly as long as I feel it took me the first few times. But I have been doing random dungeons almost exclusively. Which is also new and different. In BC there was the LFG tool, but it never really worked well. They added battle group wide dungeon queuing and it works pretty well. I am playing a tank so it is even better, near instant queues. From what I gather DPS classes have longer waits so your mileage may vary.
The talent changes are one of the bigger game play changes I’ve noticed. The trees have been paired down a lot and you are specialized in one tree until 31 points are in it. You only get 41 points total now. It seems like you are getting the skills at different times and at a slower pace. I know they made it so you only have to buy 1 rank of the skill and it will just improve as you level so that could be a factor in it. I just remember buying all the skills when you level and it is every other level or so now. Talents are also not every level now.
In closing. 41 in a little over a week. Goddammit!
