Today I saw my first Worgen char in GS. A Worgon Warrior. Also saw their new “mount”, which is Running Wild. Pretty cool to be your own mount.
\nI’ve been also doing more quests that have changed due to Cata, and going to other zones like Blasted Lands and Redridge.
\nI also checked out this new feature for Guilds; “Guild Reputation”, of getting Guild XP to unlock special gear. Of course with me being the only member of my guild, it would be impossible to acquire said items without being in an active one.
\nI fear not being in an active guild will have dire consequences, as in never to be able to join another group because they claim I don’t hit hard enough.<\/p>\n
That night, seeing how I had pretty much nothing to do in Azeroth, I decided to go on and start questing to 85.
\nI told myself before I would wait a week or two after the release for things to settle down, but a little birdy told me to just try.<\/p>\n
When I got there, I talked with a Shaman who showed me my skills are in desperate need. A video shows of The Maelstrom with Thrall sitting on an island, probably trying to calm it down. You even hear his voice saying to “relieve all your prejudice”. Meaning to put the conflict between the Horde and Alliance to rest. I like that.<\/p>\n
So next I’m told to head to the boat dock to Northrend. I get to the dock and wait. But I took the wrong boat and ended up in Northrend. Looks like the spirits didn’t guide me in the right direction… A different kind of boat shows up at the dock, and everyone boards it (and I mean everyone. There was like ten people with me).<\/p>\n Soon the boat leaves, going full speed. There’s never a loading change which makes me wonder if it’s accessible by air. Soon we approach our destination; Vashj’ir. No sign of the Horde. Suddenly we see an overturned boat ahead of us with survivors on it. So now I’m gathering up these shells and what not to be able to breath underwater (and move 60% faster than you would normally go). And then I have to rescue my crewmates before they drown or captured by the Naga.<\/p>\n For one thing, it seems that I am fighting Level 70 Elites here when it comes to the Naga (and every mob that chases me). They hit like a fucking truck and take a long time to kill. It makes me wonder if what has happened a year ago has weakened me. Or I’ve been too used to killing low level mobs. Later on, you find out most of the crew survived, and find out the whole “KILL THE HORDE!!” thing was a hoax. They were actually sent to find out what Deathwing has done. And now you have to help them gather up their gear, knowing the Naga are desperately trying to take us all into areas unknown. The battle goes from good to OSHI- HELP! in a matter of minutes, as everyone is captured by the Naga, including me. There was just too many of them. But I get rescued yet again by The Earthen Ring. I thank them and then am told I need a better way to move around in Vashj’ir. I first try to get a Turtle mount, but it gets eaten by a shark. I survived. As for accessing Vashj’ir from the air, you can. You get on the overturned boat, summon your mount and fly to Dun Morogh. There’s a pretty large area where you get fatigued, but as long as you don’t stop you’re fine. Today I saw my first Worgen char in GS. A Worgon Warrior.

\nSo I got back, and found the correct dock (the one with alot of people gathering around it).
\nThere was a few NPC’s infront of the pier talking which is the crew that will be joining us, suddenly turns into “The Horde wants to take over the island. WE WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN!!”, and I’m thinking “Ohhh fuck I signed up for PvP!” but go with it.
\nThen a few start talking about what Deathwing did to SW, and why he did so very little and left. Even they didn’t know why. It’s almost like Deathwing wants<\/em> us to kill him.<\/p>\n
\nBudd, one of the crewmembers, is going crazy on the boat. Saying a whole bunch of nonsense things while our leader is all “FOR THE ALLIANCE!! DOWN WITH THE HORDE!!”.<\/p>\n
\nBefore they can be rescued, a huge tentacle monster comes out and pulls them under. Then does the same to us.
\nNext thing I know, I’m in an overturned boat with the same Shaman I talked to back in SW. He explains that I was nearly captured by the Naga (I guess as revenge for slaughtering so many of them over the years), but rescued by him.<\/p>\n
\nStill, I managed to complete every quest given to me, solo.<\/p>\n
\nNo one knows why they’re so aggressive.<\/p>\n
\nThen they say I need something alot<\/strong> faster, and they weren’t kidding. A seahorse that can go four times the speed of a flying mount (450%). I have to ride this wild beast in a Dance-Dance Evolution-like thing. You press Forward, Left, or Right when told to (or keys 1, 2, and 3), to keep the seahorse under control (and you from falling off). If you make it (which is piss-easy to do), you get a new mount that can only be used in Vashj’ir.<\/p>\n
\nThere’s also FPs on one of the islands incase you don’t have your own means of travel. One for both sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
