Since Blizzard can’t seem to get their fingers off the “CRASH LOGIN SERVER” button, this gives me a chance to make another blog post of how leveling in Pandaria has been treating me.
I’m currently in a Shado-Pan camp in Townlong Steppes, sleeping on the floor in a tent while of course waiting for the login server to get back on. I’ve been trying to help out Lord Zhu, who is the leader of the Shado-Pan. He seems to like my skills. This could work in my favor for them to trust the Alliance; me being the spearhead.
I’m also Level 89! Go me! I’m nearly halfway to Level 90 and being able to fly.
So let’s talk questing. I’m actually getting tired of it. Mostly tired of the strange yet very serious turning/moving lag I’m getting. I fear I might have a memory leak in my computer. Either that or my computer can’t handle the graphics of Pandaria. Also getting tired of these constant arrow collection quests. I’ve done three so far. I remember only doing one in Cata.
I’ve been talking with Terlarer. He said how he grinded rep for a week and was able to get a Cloud Serpent, and how they were supposed to be hard to acquire. Something about needing lots of eggs. I really hope this isn’t another Netherwing-like deal.
He also answered some (but not all) of my questions. He answered if there’s a way to get to and from Pandaria. And if there’s bankers in Pandaria.
The question he couldn’t answer, is if the Jade Serpent statue is rebuilt when you hit 90 (or a way to help rebuild). Says he doesn’t read quests, nor has since the Burning Crusade. And all he can think about is “I can’t wait to start raiding!”. Typical raiders. 😛
It’s good there’s a way to get back to SW (you gotta go to Paw’Don Village in The Jade Forest), because my bags were getting overfilled constantly and it was annoying the hell out of me. Some of my stuff I threw in the AH has sold already. Unfortunately where I am currently, they have no mailbox. It’s just a base camp.
I’ve defeated a few elite bosses; some with the help of NPC’s (as a quest). I’m really loving my new Stampede command. Everytime I issue it, I say “Rape Time!!”. As in, the target gets owned so bad by all of my pets.
There seems to be a limit to how many assist you during those 20 minutes. My devilsaur, “Dino” doesn’t show up. But a copy of my current pet does. Dunno what’s up with that.
I defeated the Sha of Hatred last night. He was pretty much my hate for Deathwing, of what he did to Azeroth. He was a boss, but I had help bringing him down. Similar to what I did to defeat Ragnos over in Mount Hyjal in Cata. The strongest of the Shado-Pan assisted me.
I’ve dealt, and still dealing with the Mantid; one of the great enemies of the Shado-Pan. These bug guys are very annoying, and strong too. But I’ve dealt with enemies being strong in Cata. So I’m no stranger to it.
Lastly, the Gate of the August Celestials was opened. All three of the gods showed up. The White Tiger, the Red Crane, and the Jade Serpent. This gateway opens up the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. And according to the prince, could hold the key to healing Azeroth from Deathwing’s destruction. But they warn us to use the area wisely. I don’t see how undoing the damage is a bad thing.
Before the gate was opened, I had to prove to them at the White Tiger temple, that the Alliance is no threat to Pandaria. By defeating… myself. My fears, doubts, and anger that were bottled up inside me for years. Though the anger part, should had been Deathwing (Blizzard would had worked as well… lol) instead of Garrosh. The prince pleaded to them that we just trying to defend our loved ones, and our home. Which is a noble cause.
So anyway, that’s all I gotta say. Blizzard knows about this login issue. But won’t give us an update for an hour. Typical Blizzard. The kind side knows that they’ll get it fixed eventually, but the impatient side doesn’t. Pandaria has done nothing for me IRL.
And an hour later, it’s back up! For how long, I don’t know. I got in 45 minutes ago for something like 10 minutes, then it went back down again.
