The consequence, naturally it was that the creatures required to complete quests in the new zones of beginning could not spawn quickly enough to keep pace with WoW cataclysm Gold the speed at which they were being killed. The initial few hours of the brand new character was the same exercise in patience as they were a fun adventure through beautifully elaborate new worlds. The quest locations were also overcrowded with players in Hellfire Peninsula, the area of Outlands which all players are at the moment they enter into the Dark Portal. Quests that ought to have taken only one or two minutes to complete appeared to be a long time when players fought for mobs and quest-item spawns. At times, the area was so crowded that the servers could not keep up, and Outlands was shut down, even just for a brief moment.
A number of the first missions within Hellfire Peninsula reward you with green (uncommon) or blue (rare) equipment and weapons which, unless you're in the final game with purple (epic) equipment from dungeons from the initial game, will be a significant improvement. The result, which is intentional on the part of Blizzard is that the gap in performance between the minority with epic gear and the majority of the populace shrinks, which means that the subsequent quests and dungeons will provide equal challenge for every player. The gear available during the initial dungeons seems to only offer minor improvements over the previous rewards for quests, but some blue armor pieces we've already collected have provided us the opportunity to play with socketing gems made by experienced jewelers to get additional stat boosts.
The most bizarre thing about Hellfire Peninsula, at least on the PVP servers have been playing is that during the initial days it seemed like there was an unspoken policy in place that Horde or Alliance players should not attack one the other. Both players were clearly more interested in advancing their quests and levels rather than killing one others for honor points and although there were plenty of players who didn't respect the ceasefire, fights that broke out in the quest areas were surprisingly friendly in the majority. The PVP-based quests--a set of three buildings located within the c-section of the map that could been controlled by groups in order to get bonus items significant amount of action as teams of both factions opting to rotate the control of these buildings instead of fighting over them.
The Outlands players are starting to grow There are characters who have mounts that fly.
A one week following the launch of The Burning Crusade, Azeroth is now similar to normal. The regions that are the starting points for the new races have become enjoyable rather than an exercise to be played and the prices at auction houses for crafting materials are steadily falling while quests and PVP objectives within Hellfire Peninsula can be enjoyed in the way Blizzard wanted. A number of level 70 characters equipped with flying mounts as well as new epic gear are already observed in the skies above Outlands and those that are still striving to reach the goal are moving from regions to new ones like a mass of locusts devouring the bandwidth of Blizzard everywhere we go.
That's it. It's official. Burning Crusade got off to an unpredictably poor beginning, but as of the time of writing, the issues of performance that we faced during the initial few days have been largely forgotten and we're enjoying every moment we have exploring the beautiful and dangerous new areas. Your mileage will be different with respect to the server you're on, obviously however, the initial excitement for new areas has ended, and honestly it's a wonderful time to be an avid buy Cataclysm Classic Gold player. You can expect a complete report on The Burning Crusade soon.
