I finished the Westfall and Redridge series of quests this morning and I must say they were a total blast, even having me laugh at some points.


I really enjoyed how both zones have overall arching stories that pull you through the zone and then end in a bit of an "epic ending" . For example, Redridge is really memorable, both with the "lead character" parody and the ending of it.


It will be disappointing to do Duskwood and barely have any new quests, but for the zones that were redone, I think I am in for a treat.


WoW noobs playing this game for the first time are really going to have a blast.


What do you guys think of the quality of the quests so far?

The quality has been awesome. I've done the end of Ashenvale into Stonetalon as Alliance and Western Plaguelands as Horde. Both have been quite satisfying. The story and the type of quests are very refreshing. Leveling has been a side effect from questing.

As for Duskwood quests, they were all removed from my log from my little alliance toon. I thought they only removed quests that were no longer in the game. Granted, I didn't have too many from that zone but the ones I had disappeared.

I may be wrong then, but I thought it was barely touched.

Cosmetically Duskwood was barely touched, but they revamped a good portion of the quests. Having gone Goldshire>>Westfall>>Redridge>>Duskwood myself on my new human hunter, Duskwood doesn't disappoint in the least. Currently in STV, and it's still quite good, though STV is weaker IMHO than the previous zones.

After hitting 80 on my Shaman I decided to start a new pally. I must say I am already impressed, he is just out of the starting area into Goldshire. I can already tell it is going to be a lot of fun, I am really looking forward to it.

I did Duskwood yesterday and they are all changed I believe though many were very similar, just shortened steps/different items. There are also many new ones at 2nd flight point and the camp at the road turn to STV.


Nothing special really imo but then again I skipped out of Redridge without finishing the quests because I found those pretty dull. Maybe it's just time for my next break from MMOs.


I did like the use of phasing at the end of the Embalmer quest line in Duskwood, that was a bit of a surprise.


Oh and because they were all changed you can repeat them with your old characters and there is an achievement now for completing duskwood quests. On the downside that means lots of high-levels there dropping all the dire wolves/spiders/ghouls/... The critters are fewer/spaced farther but re-spawn more quickly so the low-levels can still get it done but they'll spend more time running to find a kill until the high levels move to cata after 12/7.

I really like the new quests that I have done so far on Alliance side. I am really impressed. Strangely though, the levels fly by now. I went 1-36 in about 8 hours on and off.

Southern Barrens for alliance is probably the best so far, for me.

Thousand Needles is worth going back to do. Some of the funnest quests ever in the game. You caommand a boat, blast cannons, put out fires, deepdive with helmet and fins. Its a blast. This is what all quests need to be. Not kill mob x y times, but story, gadjets and gizmos

Im running through WPL on my shaman. Got there at 35ish am now 40. I have to say, this is my favorite changed zone. Fantastic story/quests so far.
