I didn't want to spoil the new stuff for the characters that would need to do it in July (*crosses fingers*). But I wanted to get in a try out things. So I've done most of the Jade Forest from the Alliance perspective, and I've leveled a Mistweaver (healing) monk to get a feel for the class. And then I'm also playing a Protection Warrior (something I've wanted to try) while playing through Alliance zones with my better half, because he hasn't seen the updated story. We could just as easily be doing it on live, but it gives us the opportunity to test features at lower levels as we play along side each other.<br /><br />And when D3 comes out next week, well...all bets are off.Rushhttp://theasylumwall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4592230822295048656.post-21570035768885577022012-05-07T18:00:36.694-05:002012-05-07T18:00:36.694-05:00Well said, Fannon.

I still have things to do in current game, and when I'm not in current game, I'm touring SWTOR very VERY casually - just to give myself a break from WoW and reassure myself I'm not addicted to WoW itself, just ... I'm like to play.<br /><br />It's also a good time for me to catch up my blog reading because all these people who are writing about beta I've been skipping, so it has cut my reading list big time.<br /><br />So I'm with you on this one :) Though I look forward to seeing what great panoramas you will be bringing out with MoP hits.Navimiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504557372435466448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4592230822295048656.post-66828560456477138432012-05-05T16:14:26.934-05:002012-05-05T16:14:26.934-05:00I'm actually on your side on this one.

I signed up for the AP and bitched and moaned when I didn't get my beta invite until six weeks after everyone else, and now that I have it I'm less than enthusiastic about it. I've logged on a few times to try to get a handle on changes to shadow priests, and that's been okay, I guess. I refuse to do the Horde-side Pandaria quests because I look at how utterly sick I am of Cataclysm questing (Therazane, I'm looking at you) and I don't want to burn myself out before MoP even drops. The Alliance Pandaria questline is broken about six quests in. I leveled a baby monk-let for a while, deliberately leveling through Alliance stuff like Westfall (which, again, is broken) and Loch Modan, but the prospect of leveling another toon 1-90 makes me want to throw up.<br /><br />...that's a long-winded way to say "Hear, hear."Stormyhttp://theasylumwall.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4592230822295048656.post-27671586403236544942012-05-04T21:12:24.378-05:002012-05-04T21:12:24.378-05:00To Beta or not to Beta...I think depends a lot on ...To Beta or not to Beta...I think depends a lot on what current, live WoW is doing for you! If you're content and not bored on live WoW, it seems counterproductive (to me) to hop onto the Beta and spoil things/take away from the eventual excitement when Mists actually comes out! I mean, sure, if you're there to write about class changes or preview stuff, that's different. But I know that if I don't NEED to be there, I'd rather do basically anything BUT spend time on the Beta.<br /><br />Your play time is limited - I'd spend it on things that actually accrue/stick around, instead of on buggy, crashing servers where whatever you do/make/earn will just be wiped out anyway.Radeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530448668257881842noreply@blogger.com
