nightwolf Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 God damn I've never played a game that is so slow to level. Although having a pet is nice, very handy indeed! Need level 30 though (only 13..bah!) I'm way too impatient.
Ganepark32 Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 ^ you think it's slow down that end, wait till you get up to the top. Took bloody hours just to get lvl 71 and it didn't even seem worth it. Think I'm going to go slow on it because it really does take far too long to level up.
arnold Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 If your a hunter, it's easy to level when you get a pet and Aspect of the viper (maybe the Glyth of Arcane shot too) you get no downtime, just use Aspect of the hawk, then when your mana is low go to viper until full then hawk and keep doing that, no downtime. I LOVE Death Knights, I wasn't too sure on them with reading on them, didn't get into the hype but I made one to see what they're like, i love it, got a Tauren (Mooknight) still need to get my head around the spells, a bit diffrent from my druid, but I like it.
Strider Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I caved, bought the expansion and re-subscribed. Got me a 58 Night Elf Death night and i'm half way to 71 on my Warrior. I'd agree with you GanePark, it's taking bloody ages.
ShadowV7 Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 God damn I've never played a game that is so slow to level. Although having a pet is nice, very handy indeed! Need level 30 though (only 13..bah!) I'm way too impatient. 20-60 is pretty much a joke now, so easy to level. Even from 60-70 it's really easy now. Hell saying that, 70-80 is easy aswell I wanted to try and get 6 bars of exp today and level tomorrow, but with work, and ti being 10, I can't be bothered anymore.
Ganepark32 Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 ^ you ain't kidding there. And it's not being made easier by the huge amount of people out doing the quests in Borean Tundra (don't know if it's any better out in Howling Fjord as I've yet to give it a look). and glitching. Had to wait ages to do a quest because the thing you have to kill, a lvl 72 elite, with a spear wouldn't let me attack it and no one else could so it was stuck for ages. What I don't get is the 700g needed for one of those armored bear mounts when they are the same speed as the other purple mounts that you only need to pay 90g for. It's ridiculous. Likewise, why should I have to pay again for a flying skill so I can fly in Northrend when I already have it (ok it's only the first one as I've never had anywhere near enough money to pay for the epic flying skill).
ShadowV7 Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Yeah I think buying another flying skill just for Northrend is a joke. It took me ages to get 5k to get the 2nd skill level, now I need to get a 3rd to fly again once more with my Netherdrake. I agree with the price of the new mounts though, armour bear is 700g, next land mount is 10 freaking k. Why would I want to buy a land mount to carry someone with the same speed? I'm sure any friends i'm with can ride on their own mount and we'll save some money. Just seems Blizzard are putting in new expensive, yet useless items so we have something to waste all our money on.
nightwolf Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I've managed to get to 15 pretty easily since I've got my pet ( a nightstalker saber or something, now level 14 from 10), I've managed to get alot of main land covered too, although stopped exploring when I repeatedly got my arse kicked by level 20 bears! I'm guessing flying is faster then? What level do you need to be able to fly?

I'm guessing flying is faster then? What level do you need to be able to fly? Your first land mount is a 60% speed increase (lvl 30) and your epic land mount is 100%(lvl 60). Your first flying mount is 100% on ground and 60% in the air and lastly your epic flying mount is 100% on ground and 280% in the air and both require lvl 70(quite the jump in air speed). If your playing your first character then, yeah it can seem slow at first but, if you ever hit 70 (or 80) and go back and level another character then, it really is quite easy. I think I can get to level 10 in under 2 hours and that's probably not as fast as some people could do it.

It isn't really that slow to level, but I've always played games where they aren't as ''full'' as wow. It's not a huge complaint, I've played about 5-10 hours since I got it and managed level 15 mostly all through questing. I'm still abit iffy about paying for it though, for not it still doesn't seem worth while, I'm sure that'll change eventually.
UziT Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 anyone do the quest called Battle for Undercity? fuckin EPIC!

Quickest, you get items and/or money from them, and of course nice XP, and also Reputation

chrizkerr2 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Oh yes! We just finished killing all four of the Alliance bosses! (God I'm exhausted now!) Here is the Black War Mount for killing them (With my level 74 Death Knight) and the achievement page. Now time for sleep xD

I'm gonna have to try and organize that with my guild when we are at 80 and have a few more people
Ganepark32 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Check this out http://kotaku.com/5090741/lich-king-raids-already-defeated Bloody unbelievable. But then it was done by the guys who were the first to do Sunwell Plateau. Really goes to show you that some people really don't have a life outside the game.

But then it was done by the guys who were the first to do Sunwell Plateau. Really goes to show you that some people really don't have a life outside the game. That's sad that, I only just managed to ding 73, and they've completed the first three raids. My guild only has one level 80 so far. Crazy stuff.
nightwolf Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 It seems excessive, but being the highest guild, it isn't that surprising. But it begs the question, wtf do they do with their time now if they have completely finished the newest eddition. It also seems like a ridiclous task, ok so I've only just started, but to complete everything in three days, christ almighty, did they not sleep for ages.
Ganepark32 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Think it was very minimal. These guys are pros at it. They spend most of their time playing the game and taking part in competitions and stuff. As for what they do now, they'll just sit and continue to run the raid instances for farming purposes to help those lower in their guild. Sounds fun It really is a bit excessive. I know Blizzard were banning people for getting to lvl 80 in like 20-something hours because they felt it was ridiculous people spending all their time playing, farming instances. In the 3 days it took them to lvl to 80 and do all of those raids, I got up one level. But then if I'm going to get to 80 then I want to enjoy it and not condense it.
Haver Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 There's something creepy about SK and Nihilum doing that. They can get the fuck off my radar as far as I'm concerned: they're not WoWers. They're the kids who tortured their toys. I am playing constantly, having the time of my life, listening to probably the best soundtrack ever featured in a video game, playing the best game ever made. I'm 76 now, have got the achievements for questing and exploring in every zone so far - Dragonblight was amazing, the last quest chain especially. Blizz blew me away.
Ramar Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Must agree with you there Haver, got the soundtrack with the CE and it's as epic as the LOTR soundtrack. Amazing that such work went into a game soundtrack. Had to sort myself a new graphics card today, so I've barely been on in the last day or two.
MadDog Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 I find WoW very enjoyable, not addictive. I hate to rush through a game and do it all in 5 minutes. Then everyone else is slowly enjoying the experience. Having a great time, getting their moneys worth.
