The Invasions

Did one of the invasions on my fire mage, who by the way, is A LOT of fun to play.  Much better than shadow at the moment.  I boosted her to 100 from my pre-purchase of Legion.

This one was in Westfall

If you get too close to it, it nearly kills you.  I tried!

Even though I was on Sargeras, which was normally Alliance dominated, there were tons and tons of Horde.  I heard the game can make instances on demand in ‘bubbles’ to make areas look active, but that ends up being problematic to play with people you may know on other servers, that CRZ with yours.  We found that our when I could no longer see Thunderhorn, Ghostlands, and Kael’thas when WoD hit, but we figured out we COULD see each other in dead zones like the Molten Front and Isle of Thunder.

The demons are really tall, which is nice because it feels grand, but stinks for melee who can’t see a thing over than toes or kneecaps.  I need to replace my gear quick on this character and catch-up quest gear is a good way to do it.

Old school Alterac Valley

We summoned Ivus a number of times over the last few months, but now that the guards are 9 levels above us, it leads to longer games and enough time to summon other npcs I’ve never seen ever.  This time it was Slidore’s Gryphon, who I almost missed because he flies above everyone.

Still it’s cool all the really old stuff is coming out again because of these changes.

THEY DIDN’T

The pre-launch started and like usual I like the questing.  Started out with this:

You then get to do a few things like eat your last meal.  Wait, what?

 

Then take a boat, which feels a bit like the start of Cataclysm when heading to Vash’jir.

Things are, needless to say, not going well for us.

Two major, huge, lore characters are dead.  We return to give the news.

Wh… what’s in the coffin, though?

Anduin has been updated again.

Muh priest

Apparently shadow/disc lost a lot of stuff.  Disc long ago lost Divine Hymn which I’m still mad about, but we also have no…

Prayer of Mending

Hymn of Hope (lost in Draenor or so)

Then on top of that, SHADOW has no…

Devouring Plague

Spectral Guise

Psychic Horror

Angelic Feather

 

I attacked a somewhat afk hunter in Wintergrasp last night, got him to about half health, then he woke up and schooled me into next year.  This is going to be fun.

 

On the other hand, druids appear to have everything they use to have, except Cyclone which is an honor talent, including baseline Ursol’s, Ysera’s, a mana saving version of Innervate, AND can choose to use a neutered version of a feral, boomy, or guardian which gives you access to several of their skills.  Crazy.

 

Oh, and Tol Barad and Wintergrasp are CRZ now.
