Cataclysm Cinematic Intro

lol - I guess I'd better move the mage then as well. Where are you getting the info from? I went a searching and gave up, primarily because I've been rewatching the opening scenes. I still get goosebumps and a prickly scalp when I watch them and I'm positively chomping at the bit to dive into the expansion. I don't remember being this excited about Outlands or WotLK!

I'm also torn between rushing my main to 85, along with the new secondary skill and levelling the new Worgen (given up on changing Sleepy the rusty warrior, she'll stay a night elf) so that I get to experience all the new quests.

It's not FAIR! Still soooooo long to wait :(

They will all get moved in the morning, to prevent people loading mid-air or under a burning building everybody will be ported to the nearest graveyard.

And there was me thinking I was clever hiding my shammy in the very spot DW blows up The Park :(

Well I moved them all except the mage. I left them all huddled around the arrival points like homeless drifters... :(

Removed for ever? That will suck - how would you get to Dal? Unless there will be a new portal to take you there from the old starting zones. Hmmm... problems, problems, problems.

The 'old fashioned' way, using the boats from Menethil and Stormwind. Personally, I will be picking up the Argent Tournament tabard on my main tomorrow which ports you back there every hour, in case I ever needed to go back.

If you don't like IF, go to SW, it is getting a new AH this week in the Dwarven district to go along with the moved one in the Trade District.

I hate IF and SW so usually go to Darn when I need the AH but Darn is so far away for the 'hub' of everything happening! I can't go to IF, I really can't. Spent the last 12 months constantly taking the skit out of a friend who forever camps there (Dal tends to DC her). She is going to wet herself if I move all my chars there :)

So, in the time it took to type the above, I've decided to move my main to Darn and leave all the little alts in Dal. Then I'll get the guild mages to move me as necessary. That sounds like a plan!

Sixth anniversary tomorrow but no new pet? That sucks as well :D

Also it sucks (that is now my word of the week) that on release day you can change any of your chars to Worgen / Goblin automatically. While it will take pressure off the new starting zones I'd have left the char change option out on release and introduced it 30 days later. I have a level 80 tank that has been left to rust and I'm soooo tempted to change her over now ><

Will still level another Worgen from scratch as well though

Well, it has now been confirmed that 'The Shattering' (i.e. Deathwing popping up to say Hello by burning half of Azeroth) is happening this week after the server reset on Wednesday.

As the portals in Dalaran are being removed with this patch, it might be a good idea to move all your alts back to the Old World before they are a long flight and boat trip away from the new levelling zones.

Yeah. Well i jonied in this morning.

Suprised they did it this soon though, as the lag in capitals is gonna be pretty haeavy, but hey... if my conn can handle it, then the majority can.

All four bosses down this morning. Thought the gold rewards were a bit silly. Got 2 bits of 251 dps gear though so not all bad.

Did we all get involved in the mass chaos last night? I was trying to wander through SW and felt like screaming " get out of my way for goodness sake!" :D

Just a sea of blue names in front of me...

I did, however, go to play with the new bosses that opened up. A friend was a little peeved that he'd farmed and farmed and farmed ICC only for the new bosses to drop nice trinkets of a similar type ><

Was thinking more like at the end of the raid having 3 fights. Example:

First encounter - Kologarn style, where Wing hangs over the edge and you attack his face. Facemelt!

2nd - You are inside him, or riding him. You decide :D

3rd - The family come in and batter him a bit, and he is left in another controllable (humanoid or smaller dragon etc) and ultimately destroyable form.

An entire dungeon spent fighting one boss? Can't imagine that going down too well, plus they would quickly run out of encounter designs.

Guess we wont know for sure until 2012 but, based on all the raid bosses released so far, I wouldn't be surprised if it is something we have never seen before!
