So much to do, so little time!
Needless to say, I got lucky, managed to find a local shop that had the game and grabbed a copy. Unfortunately, I had class. So, first impressions, having not played the beta, wow. Just wow!!
From the boat to the dock at Valgarde, a very nice intro into the zone, and while I’m sure I’ll get tired of it eventually, there was quite a bit of effort put into this place. I’m happily surprised.
Questing/Grinding/Mobs/Etc:
Firstly, I managed to go the wrong way (and subsequently wasted a fair amount of time). Not having played the beta at all, I wasn’t really sure where any of the quests are, so having to use wowhead.com constantly kinda sucked. But, all in all everything was pretty straightforward. The first thing I noticed was the interaction between mobs. Right off the bat, two mobs were fighting amongst themselves, which really added a nice bit to the environment.
Utgarde Keep:
I have to admit, I was a bit worried about setting foot here for the first time. All in all the instance is amazingly long, detailed and FUN! Awesome place, really! We made our way fairly slowly upward toward the end and generally speaking, didn’t have much trouble. None of the people in the group had any prior experience other than reading the strategies briefly, but that didn’t seem to hinder us too much.
So, 500k into the level and moving along pretty fast, a LOT faster than i’d expect, hopefully tomarrow i’ll run UGK a few times to get some more practice/gear/etc.
All in all, The Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft has met and exceeded my expectations thus far.
Oh, and screenshots. Lots of screenshots!!
