Servers came back up at 11:02am EST, an hour earlier than they said they would. I cannot say this is good as there’s more reported server stability issues over with the European servers. They also did rolling restarts with them.
I hope to have my Rogue hit Level 100 by tonight. I’ve been using these flasks I’m buying from my Garrison to increase my XP intake by 20%.
Currently, they raised the population caps back where they should be. Hopefully there won’t be any issues this afternoon/evening. And also I’m closing in on Level 100. I’m Level 99 now.
What are my plans when I hit 100? None. Not even planning to level my Garrison to Tier 3. All of this was just a test by my Rogue, to see how bad it’ll be on launch day. The real deal will happen in a few weeks when Benie enters Draenor. By then, I shouldn’t require help for a lot of unsoloable quests that others can solo just fine, and blame me for being bad…
EDIT: I’ve done it! I’ve hit Level 100! But as a side-effect of putting resources on getting to 100 quickly, I don’t have enough to get to Tier 3. But this is fine. As I said on Day 2, this Rogue is just a test.
I’m debating if I should just go on and send Benie in. I mean, sure, Day 1 was pretty chaotic, but it wasn’t THAT bad. Besides, it did get better as my Rogue progressed to the point in Nagrand, there was hardly any kill stealing. Just me cussing at my monitor when fights don’t go my way or take too damn long to complete.
But with Benie, I’ll have my pet to assist me. My Rogue, I had no one to help him. Though my Rogue managed to get through areas that my Hunter cannot(aka, avoiding targets and sapping them to be more manageable). All classes have their strengths and weaknesses.
When I do get Benie on, I won’t be wasting resources on XP increasers. But I think what could make it harder, there was no 1,000 resources when you first open up the cache. It starts at 5 resources.
One other thing. I dunno what the hell is going on, but my Rogue got no new Garrison Invasion quests. Even at 100, there was nothing. I assume you get them once you upgrade to Tier 3.
….
Actually, you know what? Screw it. I’m sending Benie in. Blizzard is doing everything humanly possible to keep the servers up as long as they can. I seriously want to give them all hugs as a way to apologize for all the mean things I said about them.
One thing that does bug me, is the outpost building choices for Southport in the Spires of Arak. My Rogue picked the shady dealer one, just like my Tauren Hunter during the beta. Yet I didn’t get a follower from it.
I really want the Arakkoa follower at the end of the questline. He was an awesome bodyguard for my Hunter; being a Shadow Priest and all.
