World of Warcraft - Warlords of Draenor


Just wanted to make a simple thread to discuss all things WoD related.

So to start off what will your main be for WoD?

I leveled up my druid first and it's feral/guardian but I am not overly fond of it.

Not a lot of WoW love from OCN. I am debating trying the new expansion. I used to be "Mr. wait in line on launch night to buy the xpac" now I barely play WoW anymore and wait til the expansion goes on sale for $20 to upgrade.

How is WoD?

Really nice for now, not boring an horrible leveling as it was before. Garrison is nice if you're a loner type, as loner as it can be in an MMO tho... seems like at end-game you'll be sticking in your garrison instead of capital. I've always disabled all chats and just did some random stuff + auction farming between raid days, so this ain't something bad for me at all, but some consider it to be major no-no for mmo. Overall I did enjoy leveling... this comes from a person that did skip everything in SWTOR... so yeah, I still skip dreadful cinematics, but at least I do enjoy overall questing.

It's unplayable at this moment tho, so there's no point... first day you couldn't play because first zone was overrun and nothing worked due to lag. 2nd day I managed to level up for next zone in early hours and was ok for me. So only from guild chat I knew the first zone was at same state + you couldn't get into garrison both days.
Today is day 4, and I'm queue 5 hours to log in to server, from 3k to 400... in an hour I'm going to sleep, so today I played WoD queue mini-game for 6 hours. YAY what a joy

edit: Aa an added insult, queue came actually up. But I logged out while in garrison, so I can't log in because those don't work...

What server are you on? I'm playing on US-Lothar (low pop) and have no queue and no issues with my garrison.

I'm playing a feral/guardian druid (hit level 100 on Saturday) and loving it. Tanked my first heroic last night and the dungeons right now are challenging but fun.

Questing is the best it has ever been, my favorite part has been all the rare spawns spread throughout the world. Quest rewards also have a chance to roll up to blues or epics which is another great addition.

The new level 100 pvp zone was confusing for what little that I played, but it seemed pretty fun, that being said I am running around as a catman and kicking face. The healing on a feral right now is also super amazing. In the only 5 man I have run as dps I was at 10k dps and 7.5k hps. Top dps was at like 12k (I was in the middle) and the healer was pulling 15k hps.

I'm not a huge fan of the garrisons, I feel like it is drawing me a way from leveling my alts and there is a lot of micromanagement, but they add a lot of really awesome functionality. For instance, if you build the enchanting building, you can disenchant a lot of greens/blues and even do some of the enchants.

Raids don't open up for a few more weeks, so I'll have time to max professions and maybe start working on a horde toon.

You can tell that a lot more effort went into this expansion than MoP, seems like this might be able to take the cake from WoTLK for me at least.

Took me 4 days to get in...

100 druid here, resto/boomy is what I'm planning to do...and, naturally, Feral is superior in terms of PvP capabilities as a damager - at least thus far in the content. But, regardless, I will main PvE on this char.

I will be getting my warrior 100 for PvP.

I have a 100 Priest.

I started as holy, but gave disc a shot. With disc it seems like i get a lot more heals per mana than holy. I think they each have their place though as holy covers aoe heals really well, and disc feels like tank healing.

Rickles if you are on during EST times let me know if you want a dungeon queue Shiftstealth#1376

Once work settles down a bit I might buy a month or two to check out the new stuff. I have a bunch of 85's. If I re-up my subscription can I take one character to 90 right away?

Any particularly fun classes to play? I literally have an 80+ in all classes but rogue and priest.
 
#15 ·
must resist the urge to resub!!!!

I want to check it out. Long time player but left at the beginning of MoP. I find that when I play this game im all or nothing. Meaning If im Subb'd and playing I am also raiding 3 nights a week, grinding for my gear etc etc. Call it an addictive personality.

Pretty sure you get one boost to 90 when you buy WoD.

I've got every class at 90 and they are all pretty fun, I prefer classes that have little downtime in the rotation. I also enjoy tanking and I live for transmog (not sure why I am playing druid atm to be honest)..

I'm enjoying WoD

When I pre ordered I boosted a hunter to 90 and ended up really liking it, so he's level 95 at the moment, really enjoying the questing and the zones.
I've got a warrior and a priest at 90 that I'll eventually get to 100 as well.

My tag is Eskimo#1402, I'm in the UK on Bronzebeard

^ This. I hate how the game doesn't really accommodate the casual player. Like let me pay $5 a month and give me some silly restrictions like no 25 man raiding or something like that.

Another thing I really struggle with is the decision on what class to make my "main". I bounce around so much. Primarily played my Warr in BC, my DK in Wrath, and they Caty and MOP was a crapshoot. Sometimes I debate if deleting all my toons but one would make the game more enjoyable for me.

I struggle with this myself, I have 15 90s now (2 DKs, 2 pallies, 2 druids, 2 shammies).

I used to be that way because i wanted to get my value out of my subscription. Now i don't mind taking it casually. LFR ,dungeons, etc.

So tempted to join this herd... though I've always been one to run far far away from the herd mentality lol. I stopped playing WoW after MoP was released, though am curious to see this new expansion. What to do what to do
