Wyrmrest Accord WoW Guild Sexy Fun Time.

I started doing Loremaster a few weeks ago, but got bored pretty fast. I never realized how many quests are required for some of the low level zones, it's just insane. Each zone should have maybe 30-40 quests, because anything more and you will very quickly outlevel it before you ever finish, yet we sometimes have double that. Darkshore requires 90 quests, Azshara requires 100 quests, it's just silly.

I plan to still finish it sometime, but not yet, I have to do Pandaria anyways so figured I could just finish it up sometime after finishing the Pandaria quests.
 
I find that Hyjal and Vash'jir suffer from the same thing. Not only are the quest rewards meant for lvl 78 because they didn't adjust them after they changed lvl req, by the time you finish, the end rewards are out of date. (This is even worse in Vash'jir where you have to do the whole zone to get the Throne of the Tides quest, which has terrible rewards for the level you can finally get it at)

Also, there are some balances to the giant zones, like Arathi Highlands for alliance that has 18 quests. Zones like Azshara and Darkshore are meant to take you from 10 - 19 or something like that, which is why they are so big, it just never works out that way.
 
Let's plan on getting a guild group together Thursday evening again. What we'll do will vary depending on how many participants we have (and what level they are), but it can range from guild dungeon achievements to old world boss kills to old raids to Cata heroics. If we get five or fewer as I expect, we might just cut a swath through one continent's dungeons.

That does not really fit though. Arathi Highlands has a low amount of quests mostly because it was ignored (Silithus only requires 19, while the other 55-60 zone, Blasted Lands, requires 35.) Going into even the 10-20 zones, placed like Silverpine Forest only require 55. Some zones, just to drag out the totals, even were combined, like you have to do both Wetlands and Loch Modan to cover a single achievement.

It just seems so disjointed.[DOUBLEPOST=1347464793][/DOUBLEPOST]

Since we only need 3 Guild Members to get the achievements, I can come on one of my 85s on the other server, DPS, Heals, or Tank.
 
I miss Arathi... that used to be fun. Hunting down the giant for the princess quest. Getting groups for what amounts to an outside instance in the ruined castle there.

Good times.
 
On another note, I just need 2 achieves from heroic lost city of tol'vir to get my dungeon drake...

I'll be up for it. How does 8:00 central time sound?

I'll try to be there!
 
Well, we only had two people for the majority of the night (although Maradyn logged in a few times, but he always seemed to log off right when I noticed he was on), so we tried to see what kind of content we could handle. We did Trial of the Champion and Frozen Halls, and then tried Naxxramas 10 man and wiped badly to Anub'rekhan, so we stepped it down a touch and went to Black Temple, where we downed three bosses before hitting an insurmountable fourth boss.
 
Watching Piotyr go nuts last night makes me wish I had my Druid higher. I love my Warrior for leveling and in groups, but he sucks at soloing stuff where you need to heal yourself.

Also I was popping on and off checking auctions and nonsense, you guys basically planned to do stuff right around my kid's bedtime. ;)

I totally missed that you guys were doing something last night. I spent my time working on something, playing Minecraft and then watching football.
 
Hopefully I can figure out why my video card suddenly hates life.
It's because you make it display horrible horrible things.

If there's a better time of day of the week that would be better, and you want to join us, let us know. I just kinda tossed that day and time out there.
 
We can always do stuff spur of the moment as well, as even a two-player party can handle a ton of content at 85.

I now know that Teron Gorefiend's encounter is not, though. :)
 
Eh, Maybe you could if you had enough DPS. I can manage to solo most of BT, but there's a few bosses that there is no way. (Reliquary comes to mind)

They really toned down prot paladin DPS in 5.0.5. I had no problem surviving BT encounters, just couldn't down things before enrage timers.
 
I think it might be doable. If I had known more about the ghost mechanics, and what would happen, it might have been closer. I spent too much time looking at the abilities in ghost form and attacking the constructs. You were tanking the constructs just fine, so when I was in ghost I should have just focused on Teron and tried to help burn him down as fast as possible.
 
It also helps to have soulstones or a tank with a brez (DK/druid) for Teron. Then you could probably 2 man.
 
One more thing of note: starting Tuesday next week Blizzard will enable the Fall of Theramore scenario. You'll need to be level 85 and have an equipment ilvl of at least 353 to enter.
 
If you can't manage to do it before MoP comes out, it will be a lvl 90 encounter, so you will still be able to see it eventually.
 
It's actually really easy to hit that ilvl since you can buy 397 ilvl gear with JP. If you were already sitting around at 85 you probably have it, or can get it by farming dungeons fairly quickly. They are basically giving people who have been playing a sneak peak at something thta you normally can't see till 90.

Also, people cry about world events interrupting their game play or some BS, so I think that is why they went this route.
 
Farm dungeons for gear that's going to be useless in a week just so I can go through a scenario I'm going to have available at 90 anyways? No thanks. I'd rather work on professions or level another character.

It would be nice if they had some quests or events leading up to Pandarens showing up in the cities. This is just straight up lazy. World events don't have to interrupt game play either. They chose world events that did that. They could have had some celebrations in the cities inviting the pandarens in at least.
 
Well, it's not ideal, but if anyone is interested in running the scenario, I'm willing to help anyone get geared up enough to do it, and run the scenario with them.
