Fury of the Sunwell

Patch 2.4 is finally out! You know what that means? I've failed my quest to get the S1 Fist Weapons! Nooooo! Why did my computer crash, why did it take so many days to get it up and running again? Why did I say I was 'bored with my Rogue' and rolled a BElf Paladin? /cry

Anyway, enough of that! There is nothing like a new patch/new content to make you get back into an existing toon. As soon as I was able, I leaped onto Raitin, picked up a few quests in Shatt, ported to Ironforge and flew off to my destiny.

When I arrived we were on 44% complete of Stage 1. Not to bad. I did all the daily quests in the area (only 4 for now, including the 2 at the Throne) and checked out the new area. Man was it crowded! I'm glad Dath'Remar is a PvE server, let me tell you! I was almost d/c'ing as it was!

After looking around for a bit, I logged. Last night I logged back in, did a new daily, one I had done yesterday involving getting Blood Elf Plans in Netherstorm. Someone told me it's 5 minutes of work and easy gold. It took me about 38 kills for the plans to drop. A friend of mine said it took him 3 kills. Where is the justice?! I'm not sure if I'll do that daily again, but I think I should.

Anyway, when I got back to the isle I did the 2 daily quests there again. When I picked them up I saw something good. We were at 99%. "Cool" I thought. Not so cool. I actually did disconnect last night. More than once. But that's fine. We dinged 100% of stage 1 shortly after and there was much rejoicing. A new area with 2 new daily quests to do. I managed to complete one of them (no, not the bombing run) before we had a rolling restart. I decided to call it a night after that.

So first impressions? I like the new area. A lot. I'm looking forward to the new content becoming a novelty for people so it won't be as crowded and I can do more quests there easily. I'm liking that they are making it easy to duel-rep-grind (by quest rewards giving you Aldor/Scryer tags). Hopefully this is the start of a beautiful friendship with the Shattered Sun Offensive.

Ok, I promise I won't be so lazy and wait another 10 days for an update. My many and devoted fans (at present count I have 1, thanks Crimson!) are demanding I post more often! And so I shall! Hopefully over the next week I'll actually put some effort in and spruce up the site a bit too, make it all shining and nice.
