Very much disappointed in Wrath

I would have to agree w/ the first post 100%. I was able to max out Skinning and would have maxed out LW if it weren't for the fact I need Frozen Orbs to do so all at the level of 73. In saying that, the game offers no challenges. The fact that I was soloing mobs on my druid at 73 to include elites doesn't say much for the difficulty of the endgame content(IMO). I dunno..., but I was going to 3 up some DK's just for the hell of it since my wife likes to play and that way I would have a reason to continue this nonsocial/introverted escape from RL,:( . Like the old saying goes "What one man can't achieve in Real Life, he can achieve in WoW", which is pathetic, lol.

Something else I think would fit here: Borean Tundra has something like 180 quests so it's hard to say that this zone is just flat out boring. I've done almost every quest there now and I even made a blog post with a few fun screenshots. The murloc quest is epic fun for a MB team. I almost wish I didn't complete it.

and then just toss on "oh, let's fight arthas now" to the very end. That doesn't make anything original.

I believe thats what they call a storyline champ :P

take a free transfer to a low population server (if available). I moved my death knight to Chamber of Aspects from Aggramar (EU) and now when you see someone in the same zone as you it's a bit of a shock :P

on this server I think the mobs are forming a orderly line to take it in turns to be your next target...

The smart thing to do would be to shard every piece of gear, and delete toons so I'm not tempted to come back, and then to uninstall and break the cd's.
Then find another hobby. Obviously blizzard doesn't give a shit about its player base, if 80% of the quests in the 70-72 zones are like this.

I had some of the same problem in Borean Tundra, but now I'm happily questing in Pining Fjord and there's hardly any competition at all.

Your powers of observation are amazing! It IS a storyline!

Now, let's work on those comprehension skills. I am complaining about blizzard not coming up with anything "new". Everything is just a port of warcraft 3 into WoW.

As an addendum, I have done every single quest in Boredom tundra and still find the zone boring. I honestly can't see how people think that anything is new or great in it. The murloc area had maybe two somewhat fun quests, if you didn't have the murloc costume already. "Hey look, put on this murloc costume! It'll be great!" "Oh, you mean that murloc costume that's been in my pack for a year?" And then on top of that, the quests are "kill murlocs". Now, if you try to even ATTEMPT to tell me that "kill murlocs" is a new or exciting quest, you fail at WoW.

Now, move on to Dragonblight. Within the first 10 quests of dragonblight, you are driving tanks, swooping in on flying mounts to save citizens, controlling mass guns, and other "fun" quests. Boredom tundra did not have ANYTHING like that. That was my initial complaint and it's still my complaint. After completing every quest in dragonblight, and especially after the Bolvar fight, Boredom tundra is completely worse off. The two zones don't even compare.

Hell, I fell out my chair due to the pure awesomeness of swooping in and saving a citizen with my character saying "Come with me if you want to live!" Arnold for the win!

I am having a lot of fun with the expansion pack, but I was extremely worried when they chose to "re-use" the arthas storyline and especially after going through all the quests in boredom tundra. It thankfully has gotten better from there.

That doesn't work, heh. So far, I've had 3 of my friends take that approach. One of them managed to stay away a whole 6 months. The others failed miserably.

You soon find out that you can download the whole game from the official site. You can make one call to blizzard and get a character restored, typically even ones that have been deleted for a while. The gear doesn't even matter since you can hop back into raids and be competitive within a few weeks.

heh, we need help.

Why are you so condescending about these replies? You really don't seem to grasp that continuing a pre-existing storyline is not the same as revisiting the same story, and you are jut flat out lying if you say that you played all of WC3 and WoW and didn't find new and expanded ideas in the storylines in the past 4 years. Anyway, I don't actually play the game for the story, so I don't care either way about that. It just seems absurd to be upset by them revisiting Northrend, which has no appeared yet in THIS game. Borean Tundra is not an incredible zone, but I was amused by the Murlocs in the same way that you seem to be amused by a Terminator reference. It's not amusing in the sense that it's something novel and amazing, just as a part of a game that, on a whole, I do enjoy. If you go back to pre-expansion WoW the zones are all worse than anything in WOTLK. The fun is really in the mentality and planning and development of your character and team, and for me I am really happy to see this large group of characters that I'm running get powerful and work out their gear and see them get refined from zone to zone. The regular content is all made for the masses anyway, and I'm happy with the instancing I've done which is where I'll spend most of my time when all is said and done.

Basically, I'm not sure how Borean Tundra's regular quests being ostensibly similar to other WoW conventions means it's something worth complaining about, nor do I understand how Blizzard can be faulted for making a Northrend expansion and then putting Arthas in it.

Thinning the herd. Maybe queue times won't be so bad.

I'm having a freaking blast. Maybe people are spoiled with RAF, wtfpwning instance they're over geared for or whatever, but I've cleared Tundra, half way through Fjord, cleared Nexus twice and Utgarde Keep once and I've loved every bit of it. I thought the quests unfriendly to multi-boxerss were very limited.

I've been following the leveling guide at www.wow-pro.com to get efficient quest circuits.

^^ That's the truth. Nothing beats seeing your 5- or 10 (in our cases) characters running around doing raids "solo"; per se. :thumbup:

We should urge blizzard to make collection quest group drops instead of 1 person per item. Just think how nice it would be if a group doing quest could all loot the item when it drops instead of just 1 of 5. Collection quest are really pissing me off. Most of them unlock non collection quest and trying to get 10 of anything off camped mobs x 5 is not going to happen. I give blizz an F on collection quest thinking.

---

I don't think that is the problem... the problem is how the hell do raptor have no heads? Collections quests are not bad, but they all should be like a 99% drop rate. That would make them easier... Hell i don't mind killing 200 raptors if i knew each one will drop a head.

Try finding a head on anything after my Hunters' pets are finished with it. The role player in me is happy with any scraps that are left. 8^)
