Alright, well some one run from Thunderbluff to Excavation dungeon on a PVP server and let me know how fun that is. I know because I did it. As a Tauren Hunter, the fastest sub 40 character possible.

It was annoying at minimum and it took close to an hour. Will I remember it when people talk about this launch? Yeah maybe, and I'll say "Yeah, it was stupid." Just like a lot of shit from actual WoW launches.

Several unforced errors in all that.

-PVP server. You went for it, that's on you.
-Make a group with a warlock in it, all of sudden shit becomes easy mode if you don't already have the flight path to Arathi.
-By the time you're doing this run you should at a minimum have the flight path to Taren Mill since you should have ran SFK and just picked it up on the way. If you didn't, that's on you.

I was thinking they could just implement a sliding xp scale based on how many times you ran it - i.e. run 1 = 100%, 2 = 80%, 3 = 60%, 4 = fuck you no xp. Doesn't solve the over arching issue though, but gives at least some measure of incentive for doing a few runs. Even with buff, not worth it at all.

Still worth doing once for the quest xp which nets half a level alone. Plus, drops and quest rewards which usually last a long time.

Oh yes, I agree. I do them once get my loot and scoot. I'd like the option to do a few runs, especially when you're trucking to another continent for a measly 4 quests (looking at you RFK!)

Yes! Same happened to me. Clicked it twice thinking nothing happened then when I shut it down there was a second instance just sitting there. Both clicks took some time to launch though.

It's been doing the same thing to me. Also have a short freeze when I open the map which is annoying. My laptop is a little underpowered and my net is dogshit so just figured it was one or the other.

Holy shit bro, stop playing. They are not going to change their game for you. Stop playing or stop bitching.

On the plus side, it's a lot easier to get people to agree to stop to do Blue Root Tubers now

I’ve got a Beefy rig, but it’s capping at 60fps. I even tried the sliders in the options menu. You doing anything more then default settings?

I have a 3070 with 16GB RAM and I have the game locked at 90 fps with everything cranked up. Guessing your windows display settings are capping your monitor at 60Hz or some shit.

My thought is they are going to release expansion, I mean content patches, where they definitely don't make you pay (blizzard is very altruistic) and new races (also don't have to pay) where they keep the level cap but just raise ilvl in these totally worth it paid for content patches. They want an infinitely horizontal progression.

I hope it works out for people that like the game but I still have a hard time believing it myself.

They will very likely do a revamped or completely redesigned Northrend. Since in this storyline Arthas is still the Lich King and all.

Yeah. Hyjal was greatness. Furor was still active back then, even though he was a dev. Hell, a majority of the old crew was there. There were a lot of squabbles, but I liked it, and the guild was very good at the time. But some of the people started pushing hard for BDF, and eventually the majority of the guild moved over there. Lots of people weren't PVP based, though. Those that were, loved it, but those that weren't, disliked that they could get attacked while doing the shit they normally did on the regular without any issue. Suddenly, everything was an issue. You would get attacked because you were a big name guild. Everyone trying to prove something. Oh well.
I stayed on Hyjal, joining the #2 guild after everyone left. It was "okay", but I ultimately got bored and ended up quitting the game before the Burning Crusade came out. I stayed off until people were half way through SSC & The Eye, but FoH had really fucked around with the current #1 guild on the server (not the one I joined when FoH left), so they were a no-go for me. I ended up transferring over to a different server anyway, but it was another PVE. It was Area 52, where the #1 guild, Vicarious ended up giving the "rogue bow" to Analogkid during a Sunwell raid, after it was on farm mode. They had a few new hunters with the guild, but they had only been tagged for a week or two, so none of them were given the bow. I ended up staying with the game until Pandora.
I stopped being an end game player at some point (I had too much RL shit going on), and I ended up quitting the game all together during a pickup raid on Deathwing, when my wife went into labor and I had to drive her to the hospital. And that was the end of my WoW career. Good times.

I went with to BDF and PvP had it's moments. But yeah, it got old. Especially as a perpetual resto shaman. The "dream" as I later understood it due to the bitching when it didn't happen was if someone fucked with us we'd call in support and bend them over. That did happen a few times and it was fun little shenanigans/build your own content but mostly you'd just log out for 20+min and do something else until they got bored. I never gave a shit about PvP personally. More than anything else it just annoyed me post-transfer but it wasn't the biggest deal.

PvE Horde all the way in forever tho. I'll be fucked if I'm doing unnecessary 5+ min corpse runs. My ass is 40 and I'm sleepy already.

Yeah that's a setting somewhere. I've got my fps uncapped and even on my meh laptop I pull 100fps+ pretty regularly. I want to say there was an ingame setting for it but I forgot where. If I notice it i'll let you know.

- Don't get me started, you and I both know I said this was stupid.
- No? Warlocks sucked ass in original WoW and I like to remember pre-BC when Warlocks were garbage instead of raid bosses. Also fuck them for using reagent bag slots for shards. I do see they're inviting warlocks, summoning their groups then kicking warlocks. So I guess there's some silver lining there.
- I wasn't following a guide so the one quest I got for RFK got immediately greenified by the other quests I was doing, especially once I got on a quest guide.

Also to clarify when I meant escort quests needed to be sped up, I didn't mean their move speed. I meant the fact that you have to wait for them to fully path and then respawn to start again. These become queue simulators and autoclicker battles in the heavier population zones. I don't care them actually walking the entire time, it's more waiting 13 minutes between spawns to hope you don't get outclicked.
