Cataclysm leveling

[Negativ1337]

I found Vashj'ir not that much of a shitty zone. Maybe that was because i already did some quests on the beta. Just make yourself mad and do them all in one day, if you level up to 82 you can go straight to a new zone

I didn't liked Uldum either, lots of annoying quests. I was stuck there aswell because one quest was bugged. It was the survival guy that i couldn't see. When i abandoned the quest, and did some research and used /reload ui and running away from the guy and zoning back in i was able to continue with the quests.

You can try to do some PvP, but i don't think it is worth it 15 minutes queue. You can try to combine random BG's with dungeons and/or kill quests.

I'm just following a quest stacking thing.
The Zygor guide, which is pretty much a waste of money with how they implemented quests.. would have been worthwhile, if they were random in what you could take and when (like BC/WotLK).

Anyway, have done every quest in every zone.
Some are annoying, many are not.
Hyjal on opening day was the most annoying.
I've had slow collections in every zone, but nothing that bad yet.

I Agree. Uldum was a never-ending nightmare of phasing, cut scenes and crappy quests in general. I wanted to puke every time I saw a continuation of the Harrison Jones questline.

Awww, it was fun to single box through

The Harrison Jones quests tend to wear you out even as a single boxer after a while. Eventually you feel as if you're being dragged off into another cinematic every couple of minutes. It tells a nice story, but it just feels excessive. Or maybe that's how I feel after completing it three times. :x

I'm still not sure what kind of special crack you guys are smoking. Twilight being better? I'm about 20 quests in and 1/2 of them have been collection quests so far! Give me a cut scene any day over this!

It's not simply the quests are better... It's a bit more then that actually

Each quest gives substantially more xp then Uldum quests to start with because Uldum is an 83 zone.

Twilight has SOME gather quests but once you get out of the main start area there are very few that are collections. Much better area, much faster and much more xp.

Uldum is fun once, after that it's like bashing your head into the wall....It feels good when it's over.

I am on my 2nd team. I don't know about other servers. But on my server, Twilight highland has this crazy server lag spike that seems to be specific just for this zone. I lose follow all the time. and I get lag spikes where I cannot perform any action. Only in this zone.

I notice this because all other players in the same zone report the same lag. and my friends who are elsewhere are all fine.

edit: this just started recently. I did not have this problem on my first team when I just hit this zone.

TH zone wide lag spike? You wouldn't happen to be on Ner'zhul?

There are a TON of phased areas in TH, I think this is what is causing you lag and follow issues.

On my single toons I've followed this route:

Hyjal 80-82+
Vash 82-83
Uldum 83-84
TW 84-85

Like others have said Uldum was fun the first time after the 3rd time I wanted to scream every time a cut scene came up.
