Maldraxxus was the best zone! especially as a DK, i can control undead EVERYTHING in there (except for skull lvl enemies and a few named npc). the pet was doing like 550-750 damage every auto attack! so much fun!
3 bars off 60 at the moment, it's been hard to get enough time Infront of the PC to level. Having been away since warlords it's been nice to get back into things, I just wish I wasn't levelling a rogue straight up lol
4 hour queue on Draenor EU today, also had huge server lag with 5-10 second delays all day with server crashes, they should really give us free server transfers
I was pretty damn fed up of WoW to begin with, but I was still ready at launch. Took a few minutes to get teleported by the death gate in Stormwind because of all the lag. When I got to ICC and tried to take the quest, nothing happened and then I got disconnected. Tried to log in several times, but the character selection screen just remained black for 30+ minutes except one of the tries in which I could enter the world… only to get stuck on the loading screen at 90%. At that point I just gave up. I have 1 character in Bastion now, done about 5 quests or so.
This has been the worst launch for me. Not being able to play for hours + not having any desire to play 🙁
Silvermoon EU.
I took Ima say 20ish hours to 60 mainly just to sight see awe at the beauty and dying to dumb shit ya know day one fun things
Ill be real with you mike those servers contain the majority of players in WoW so your launch experience was of the minority
Storm rage was bad too. Out of 53 people online I was the only one that had no disconnects.
Oh fuck you, seriously. They had 100k people, MINIMUM who havent been able to play.. not for "few hours" but fucking 3 days now. 5000+ queues that last hours, into a loading screen that leads to DC and back to queue.
It was one of the most catastrophic and shitty launches in the last decaded, only over taken by wod launch.
It was an absolute fucking embarrassment for them as a company and I for sure wont be renewing my sub.
I was staring at loading bars for 2 hours at launch! worth it
Its a solid ok so far but why is all gear Kyrian as you lv just feels weird geting it from the edgy boys.
I purchased the expansion a day after the expansion launched and reached level 52. I'll play some more tomorrow because I'm zonked from work. I am enjoying leveling my mage at a leisurely pace so that I can experience all of the quests I can find.
A52 here. Been in queue for 3 hours now.
After work I wanted to login can't. So no first week for me
Everything is fine, except for the terrain design. I wish I knew that earlier.
Youre talking about Draenors server issues in past tense… its literally lagging right now at 8 am on the third day. Past 2pm Servertime you cannot play the game consistently anymore
My first hour of Shadowlands
DC
Look at empty char screen
90% load screen.
DC
Look at empty char screen
Load into Maw.
Followed by 10 hours of quest turn in lag and 2 hours of hardcore Revendreth ability lag.
When I see so many world quests and I know I do not have to do them it feels so fucking great. I didn't keep up with beta, so it's all new world for me now, but it looks so good. Here's to good expansion!
Draenor-EU represent, garbage launch for me, two days already down the drain
We need more steamers on Kazzak, seems thats the reason Blizz keeps servers up.
I am 53, because when I am not working – servers are down. NOT only 5 hours, but 2 days already. Id you can not level at night – you cant level at all =(
Looking forward to properly dive into SL at the weekend. Only managed a couple of hours so far due to work!
there is no rush starting to play the game either as there is loads of catch up systems. on the fence if you want to play this expansion or not? don't do it. if you change your mind in a month, there are catch up systems that help you get there very quickly. I haven't bought it yet. I honestly wasn't going to as I was expecting it to be a total shit show, but you know what? I think I changed my mind. I think I'll buy the game after all. it will be quite the pricy affair as I have to move a character too, but it will be worth it
