Let me dig up my write up on slave pens from my pseudo blog on facebook.
Slave pens is ass
Ok. So I finished up all the quests I had in my journal for Terokkar and hopped over to Zang to finish the quest in Slave Pens, the one where you are looking for the lost group of druids. I had hoped to be level 66 at the time, but the quests in Terokkar got me about half way through 66 so this should be a nice little event to finish with before moving to Nagrand.
Now lets talk about Slave Pens. This zone is ass. Whoever was responsible for populating that place should be fired, and fined all the money they were paid. First off, quests. Oh I’m sorry I meant quest. Nope, that’s not right, its got half a quest. That’s right, it doesn’t rate high enough to even get its own quest. And that QQ druid out front, she is now number two on lamest NPC’s. Yup, she’s right up there next to the retarded taurin in their start area that whines about his lost dog. Jesus fuckballs! Your dog is gone, find him yourself, I’ve got epics to loot! Oh yes, Slave Pens. Lets see, well let’s start with chain fearing mobs. Shit, I’m hit with AOE fear, pop last man standing. Didn’t even get a sword swing in and I’m feared again. Pop trinket, and feared again. God fucking damn it. 45 seconds of fear is ASS! ASS, ASS, ASS. This isn’t fun, it’s not even a challenge, they could at least have made these guys run fast enough to beat your ass into the ground while feared, but they don’t, they just run alongside you with their shit hole pathing and fear you again. The whole dungeon is like this. Everything fears, everything poisons you or gives you an STD, or spell reflect. This is the 21st century, there is no excuse for this. It got so shitty, the solution for my druid group was to wait and pop treants on each pull in the hope that when the fear bombs go off the trees scatter and I can continue to kill. The one fun part of this whole experience was when one druid tore off hells bells into the dungeon with 15 seconds of fear. Don’t ask me how she didn’t get killed but she was down the hall, past the next room and standing in a little pot thing. So I got to 4 man it for about 5 pulls to rescue her.
Bosses. Let’s see, here was disappointment again. First boss I unleash the fury and wtf? I’m oom and he is down like 25% is all? Sigh, gonna wipe, I can feel it. Humm. This is odd, hes not doing any damage, Judgment of light is overhealing. Ok. I see now, this is a game of whack-a-totem. Whack the totem whack the boss, whack the totem, whack the boss. 5 min later he dies. Im not sure how that guy was supposed to be able to kill someone? Maybe a cloth wearer and they sat down? Lame. They should have given him AOE fear. Second boss was yawn. Same crab model that the last 20 mobs used just size set to 100. He just died like they do. They should have given him AOE fear. Last boss was decent. Some giant bog lord that’s been locked away so long that he blew spooge on everyone because he was so excited someone bothered to get to the end of this travesty of an instance.
So I hand the bad news that her friends are dead or sex slaves to the QQ druid and get my quest reward that’s vendor fodder. I take a look back at the dungeon I realize, there is absolutely no reason what so ever to go back there. The loot was shit from a donkey. Fish scales that sell for 10s a stack. The same fish oil you get off level 4 murlocks, no cloth no nothing. At least Underbog had all the Sanguine Hibiscus things to sell, and motes, and pocket lint that sells for a gold a stack. Oh and it had quests. Slave Pens is by far the shittiest dungeon to date. You could shit diarrhea into a bowl of M&M’s and it would be more enjoyable than returning to that place. It’s nothing more than a big shaman masturbation zone.
