How's the crowds so far? |
Was out in Hyjal this afternoon for about an hour (1-2pm pacific).
Crowded as far as competing for items that need to be picked up.
Not crowded enough to avoid being baffed by 3-4 waves of mobs at a time (yay for using a class that can heal and for LoH! which got used for the first time in I don't know how long, lol.)
Wondering if or when Blizz is going to turn down the spawn rate. (Noticed that it's following the same pattern of starter zone. 3-4 waves then nothing.)
Probably will hold off on the 80+ zones for a couple of weeks, like I had originally planned. Curious to see what happens over holidays.
Guild still planning a Worgen group over the holidays, so that will be interesting.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Exactly how I and I'm sure many others see it, lol. You almost wish for more people out so you stop getting jumped on every time.

I have an old guild "reunion" scheduled in the morning, we are all rolling worgen noobs. Hopefully it won't be too bad, we picked a medium pop server. I have a bet with a buddy about who will be the first person to sing "Werewolves of London" in Teamspeak......

lol, sounds like fun! If you have any females in your worgen group, tell them to do a /laugh and wait for the reaction. (I wanna know wth the sound guys were thinking!)

Yanno, it wasn't so bad until I got jumped by an 80 elite and then had an insta-respawn of the same mob. I mean, come on!

Draenei ret pally. Hauled the mob over to a large treant who was willing to help even though I continued to hold aggro. But it meant finger dancing and kitchen sink time by the time I was done.
PS: yeah, I lived. There was no where aggro-free to run.

It's nice having the options "I'm outta here" and "Bah, guess I'll just kill it" when the first one fails lol

Even logging in tonight and playing for about 3 hours so far, it's very quiet. I really expected it to be really busy but so far it just seems to be getting quieter. Very odd, lol.

The throttled spawn rates cover most problems. They really have this thing down to a science.
