Leveling

It’s been a long time!

As you can see, it’s been a long time since I’ve put up a post about anything!  As I mentioned in earlier posts, living with a Chronic Disease such as Crohn’s can really throw your life into crazy time.  I was barely able to play for several months since I was in and out of the hospital with multiple surgeries.  But, been feeling much better lately and have been playing and progressing on multiple toons in BfA.  I’m not sure if I really like the whole “Visions” concept for the cloak, it’s like we’re back in Legion doing the whole thing over again to get an epic piece of gear.  The grind is *yawn*ville.

Otherwise, I’ve been playing a lot on my Horde toon, trying to complete the storylines to get the achievements for the Alliance/Horde mounts.

I’ve been hoping to get an invite to the Shadowlands Beta, since it looks amazing.  Very curious to see how they implement the level squish/reset.

Since I have so much free time (not) I’ve also been trying to play WoW Classic, but it’s certainly been a challenge!

Till Next Time!

Battle for Azeroth – Beta

Hello!  A lot has happened in the past couple of months.  The new expansion, Battle for Azeroth, moved from Alpha stage to Beta stage.  I had the opportunity to play the alpha, and while it was pretty buggy, it was actually pretty playable.  The Beta is quite impressive.  Following is my notes about the xpac:

I created two characters, Zaradrel, a void elf warrior and Amphyx a Dark Iron Dwarf Mage (obviously).  Both started at level 110 using 185 ilvl gear.  This is different than what existing users will be playing with since most people will have an ilvl of at least 910~960 at launch.  Whenever Blizzard does a stat squish, things usually go wrong for the first week of the xpac release.

Getting better gear is pretty simple at first by doing the quests in the starting areas.  Playing as a warrior and mage has been pretty straightforward, although some talents are no longer available or changed, or not implemented yet.  What I thought was really odd was that they brought back arcane knowledge buff for mages for groups and raid groups.

I’ve reached level 114 on Zaradrel, and am hopeful I can get that character to 120 before they issue a new update and wipe the characters and we have to start over !!

Zaradrel is also in Drustvar which apparently is infested with witches!  While questing through Drustvar, it reminds me of a cross between Pandaria and Wrath of the Lich King.  The design is really nice, however, the NPC count needs to be increased as the zones look very sparse of people.

I’ll have more information as I continue to progress through the Beta.

I can’t wait to see what the final release will look like!

HuntsforFun goes Hunting!

I decided to play my hunter last night and had a fun time doing it.  I guess after updating this site and writing about the character, it inspired me to play!  I played so much that I went up two levels!!  One day I’ll hit 110, just don’t know when 🙂

I really like having the pet doing a lot of the hard work as well!  It makes attacking enemies much easier as well.

I’ll add more here about leveling Hunts as I get him to level 110.
