The pre-patch launch for Wrath of the Lich King Classic dropped a few days ago and that meant that I felt compelled to jump back into Azeroth.
I kind of burnt out on it previously. I got my rogue to level 67, but I was getting tired of the slog. And it wasn't helped by the incessant stream of jerks swooping down upon me on their level 70 mounts and taking advantage of the fact that I was already in combat or had just finished combat so they could finish me off. I was sick of it. So instead of getting mad and swooping down to low-level areas myself and killing every low level Alliance character I could in retribution, I rolled my eyes and closed the game.
I hate pvp servers.
And it annoys me that it seems I'm the only one in my friends group who can't stand it.
But, if I want to play with my people, I have no choice. Ugh.
So I logged onto my rogue and stared in horror at the Lich King Classic talent tree for her. I've never really played a rogue much before so pretty much everything looked terrifying. And since it had been two months since I last played, I had completely forgotten how to play this character anyway.
The warrior, however, is a class I've played since the original Wrath of the Lich King and I know it inside and out. So I made a new one and decided to no-life the next month.
At least warriors are much improved now, levelling-wise. I feel as though if I had started playing in Classic or TBC instead of Lich King, I would not have mained a warrior. It was god-awful before, but feels so much more playable now.
Of course this means I have to level up all my cooking and fishing again.
Because I'm a masochist.
But achievements make it all better!
The Joyous Journeys buff has been active for over a month now and apparently you can disable it at innkeepers...
What kind of deranged individual would want to disable it??
Madness. Absolute madness.
I like to think that with this buff and a good, old-fashioned no-life playthrough, I'll be ready to roll come September 27th when Wrath of the Lich King Classic properly launches.
It's like I'm wearing heirlooms! But... without the stats of the heirlooms. 😅
I just wish they'd add back the Dungeon Finder tool. Apparently they're not going to because that, in their opinion, is when World of Warcraft stopped being as social.
Well, in myyyyyy opinion, this is the expansion that everyone wants to play. This is before Cataclysm ruined everything. This still feels like old-WoW. This is what people want; WoW Before Cata. And not implementing the dungeon finder just means that a good chunk of people are never going to play through dungeon content because who the hell has time to sit there shouting in LFG for three hours?? Hoping to find a tank, or a healer? When they could just press a button and continue doing stuff while waiting?
Redonkulous.
Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I must return to my endeavour of no-lifing a warrior to ascension and glory. ⚔️🤣 And very likely going crazy as soon as I come across higher level Alliance players who just want to ruin my day.
Until next time! 🙂
