Cata is boring so far...

I did Vashj'ir on my pally solo, and just that was enough to deter me from taking my shammy team anywhere near it.

I leveled a lot in eots during it's CTA weekend. with full wrathful I absolutley dominated people in their cata greens. Easily 90% win ratio and quick 3 base cap games, 10 mins average.

Basically I did 80-82 hyjal, spent the next 2 levels bging and in deepholm. 84-85 some quests in twilight highlands and bging.

Vashj'ir is NOT THAT BAD!
.

Nope, it is worse. If only I could get the five hours of my life back from questing in there before I gave up and went to Deepholm.

I just finished the quest chain in deepholm on my 4 team, so I can get access to the tabard for the enchant, it wasnt as bad as I thought, first time was alright because it was new, 2nd time was painful because I just wanted to get it over with, this time went faster probably cause of the x4 doing it lol and actually wasnt as bad as I thought it will be... Now im in Uldum to hit 84 so I can do that stupid pre-quest to open twilight highlands and finish there too 85.

I have some good friends in the no.1 guild on my realm who are upto 5/12 heroic mode and have alot of valor they have no use for anymore too sell me cheap BOE boots for my toons, so thats a bonus

Infact we raid my fiance, my daughter and myself with 1-2 of their members on tehir alts and us on mains, we didnt want too join their guild so some of them double raid with us and rest we pug fill which last week didnt go so well, damn it

Good thing was removing the need to discover the dungeon before you can queue for it.

Im in deepholm now. 82 is going much slower than 80 and 81. There arent too many painful collection quests so far but there is a lot of flying back and forth which eats up a lot of time, it seems. Im using the Zygor guide so im definitely not being inefficient.

There was some collection quest that required things whih dropped from gray blobs. I know i easily killed over a hundred of the things. They were spread out and had a drop rate under 20%. i finally used my demon lock to run around tagging them with dots and then hellfired packs of them down. It was taking forever killing them one at a time and they were too far apart for the paladin to grab more than two at a time. That quest sucked but otherwise it hasnt been too bad in deepholm. Just relatively slow.

I've come into Cata quite late, just finished Vashj'ir on my toons an am now working my way through Hyjal, but overall I'm enjoying it so far.

Vashj'ir really forces you to think in 3 dimensions as there is lot more vertical movement, whereas Hyjal is similar to the WoW we all know, i.e ground based questing.

The storyline in Vashj'ir was interesting (i quite liked the visions of the past quests), but a bit slow in parts, and sometimes repetitive (oh look, another cave!). I think a better idea would have been to have the submarine as a base of operations in the zone, similar to the flying ships in Icecrown...

Compared to Hyjal where you are shown Ragnoros straight out of the gate, which kind of lends a sense of urgency to questing in the zone, and it just kind of feels...well, more epic.

The collection quests have been ok for me so far, the only one I really hated was one in Hyjal where you had to click on very small, fast moving animals - 10 for each toon. Pretty sure I came away from that one with a bad case of RSI.

Just my 0.02 worth.

Cheers,
S.

You can use IWT on the scurrying squirrels in hyjal and anywhere between 2-4 of the five toons will be able to loot the same one.
