Ya I guess it sounds like I'm complaing, sorry. What I'm really doing is ASKING. Because I've been away for a little more than a year and just barely paying attention to the state of the game, so it's MORE likely that I'm missing something.

I guess that's my question: Are we about to log in to a totally changed landscape? Will Dec7th "just be the race to 85?"

Sorry for confusion.

This patch changes 1-60, yes. Every expac is a race to the new cap, regardless of new content. And the 80-85 stuff will still be unavailable till Cataclysm launches. Just 1-60 is being changed.

I'm sure if you think really really hard, with all of your might, you can come up with a reason or two.

So it all happened behind the scenes then? I mean, I knew I wouldn't be able to see Deathwing flying around blowing stuff up, but the elemental invasions felt pretty tame compared to the zombie infestation, the Scourge invasion of Orgrimmar, and the confrontation between Thrall and Garrosh that happened pre-wotlk.


I was kinda getting pumped to see what else they were going to throw at us.


Or maybe I'm just remembering the pre-wotlk stuff with rose-colored glasses.

The elemental invasion was just a PITA for lowbies trying to level and get around. They spawn in whatever town you are trying to turn your quests into and that in turn despawned the flight master and the quest givers until it was over. Or you would need to kill X number of things and the elementals would be killing everything.

Or you are just auctioning some stuff when the auctioneers all disappear. You walk out to go quest again to be 1 shot by an elemental right as your BG pops. You can't enter dead so run back and try and get to a safe place to rez only to be 1 shot again.

Serious PITA at low levels but non eventful at 80.
