And what I've been doing since Xpac..

I know I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy playing every chance I get. I was involuntarily (...) laid off, so I suddenly had time to play the new content. It's pretty. Pretty pretty pretty. The new environments make me shiver with the snow and cold and make me crave hot cocoa :-) I love it, especially living in the desert.

I hate the traffic. There are so many folks in the new areas that completing quests gets comical. Shall I kill him next? Is it my turn yet? Ok ok, I'll wait for the group of 47 to be done.. Sheesh. I've gotten into a rhythm of questing in the late morning to early afternoons in the new area, then hitting Outlands and low level quests for rep all night. The lag is insane, and I've been averaging about 20fps. Sooooo frustrating. Still trying to figure out what's from addons (they work again, wheeee!) and what's from server lag.

But I'm up to 74, and I've replaced 2 pieces of epic gear already. Kinda hurts, but I'm about to the point where it makes sense. Plowed through Utegarde Keep like it was made for me to walk all over Vikings, err Vyrkul or whatever. The Nexus was a bit harder, but still got through without too much pain. Wiped a bit figuring the bosses, but yay for guildies!

And by the way, what happened to players? They all want it to be easy and effortless... I've seen more PUG members drop because we wipe once on a boss than I ever did in the lower levels. Lazy gits, suck it up and do your job. Funny how we usually do better with whoever joins the group next. It's a weirdness, and I think it's based in being overgeared for 5 mans for so long that you expect to walk through it like it is cake. Sad how complacency brews stupidity.

But overall, other than predictable things, I'm enjoying the expansion..
