TBC is a steaming pile. Out of those 6 Outland zones, I could only... "feel?" Nagrand and Netherstorm. I just hated everything else. SSC and TK are boring and droning raid instances. All fights are mind-numbing, even when tanking Leotheras, Capernian and/or kiting Striders on Vashj. Hyjal gets fun once there aren't wipes pre-Archimonde. BT though, from the start is actually fun. I dunno, I like the trash there and most boss fights (except Teron Gorefiend). Right now we're up to Reliquary of Souls... well, I'm not. I'm still waiting for my new desktop to arrive later this week. Then I can play, and hopefully by then we'll be on Mother Shahraz with enough Hearts of Darkness (or close).
I really can't wait to get over this crap and start anew with WLK, even if it means not looking like a Gremlin with a popsicle suit anymore (yeah I'm an orc warlock) by the time we clear Illidan. I hope that can happen before September is over, since people tend to clear the Illidari Council the first night they get to that fight.
Blizzard themselves stated how "bland" TBC has been, in their interview with Windows Game Magazine (spelling?). It's just... a little half-assed, come on. Kael'thas is a guild cock-block and I always see guilds fall apart there. People who only PVP quit faster than others because seasons, well, take only 3.5 months or so and then it's farming the next armor set but doing the same thing.
I'm really interested in Naxx. Blizzard had originally intended on making this a 25 man instance, but kept it at 40 with the proper tweaks. Now it'll be a 25 man, and the first one so... sure, it's going to be easier than anything else. So newcomers might wonder "what was so hard" while vets might go "meh." Who knows, right? Weeee. Just think about how bosses like Saphirron and Four Horsemen will accomodate 25 men.
Not sure what to say about the hero system yet. Those classes won't be more powerful than regular ones, so no QQing about death knights especially if you remember how blademaster can cast "Mirror Image"x3 and "Bladestorm." It'll definitely be interesting to see how these new "classes" could affect raiding balance and progression.
Too bad all has to go in one thread. No locks around here?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
