2.3 - The Patch We’ve All Been Anticipating
It’s coming tomorrow morning, and I personally can’t wait until 10pm to get to play. Right… gaming life sucks when you go straight from work to a 3 hour night class, but what am I going to do? Last week, I caught the Background Downloader grabbing the patch for me and I’ve since been mulling about what I’m most looking forward to.
Being an alt-aholic like Growl and Kinless, not to mention 60-less PhiLogical, I’m very much mainly interested in the improved leveling for sub-60s. Then there is the newly added guild bank, which has my mules and the guild banker happy about. Oh, and the nixing the gossip pane on the flight masters and bankers. Doh! What am I most looking forward to? I’ve got a brand new druid (level 5 after 1 hour) because I couldn’t resist the alt-itch again and a 44 paladin going for 60 by Christmas. Depending on how much the patch improves leveling, I may succumb to starting an all new frost mage again.
According to the PTR patch notes that Blizzard has up right now, there is a lot to look forward to. Oh yeah! I almost forgot the hunter dead zone is going away, too. Tuesday night is going to be a fun night! The list is seriously too long to put up here without looking like news regurgitating, so go check out the list and chime in on what you want most.

Hmmm ok just ordered Tabula Rasa, good deal online couldn’t resist, now the patch that effects my main the most is due…argh! Looks like winter could be a busy time for gaming…
Haha! Well, grats on the dilemma. It’s better than sitting around wondering what you can do to pass the time, I suppose. Let me know how it is. The graphics look awesome, but the system requirements are far too great for my current system. Stay tuned for updates in that department around Christmastime.
I’m really looking forward to 2.3!! Although us EU users have to wait an extra day!! (Grr!! No fair!!)
I’ve got a 41 Lock, a 27 Rogue, a 20 Priest and a 13 Shaman that all eagerly want leveling!!
I will level them to 70!! Not in that order i imagine…my rogue is a gnome and his voice really grinds my gears!!!
–high-pitched voice– What do you mean? You don’t like my voice!? I’ll backstab you if you kneel down.–end silly gnome voice–
Out of those, I’d say the ‘lock and priest will be the easiest to level. Deadr was on auto-pilot after level 20 and just got easier after he got Shadowform. It’s amazing how much you can do when you’ve got a bubble and Mind Flay. The key is a great wand. You can’t spend too much on the best wand on the AH if it presents itself. I’ve got a long history of spending a lot of money on wands, but it’s what lets you build your mana back up to re-bubble.
I can’t wait to see Mudsprocket!
Having leveled a paladin Holy (1-60 what a noob) its got to be easier than that! Mind you my druid was quick to level, especially once i respec’d her balance at 50ish. Boomkin FTW!! I recently changed her back to Feral, for grinding as her raiding days are pretty much over i think - apart from maybe offtanking in Kara…but i doubt she’ll see Gruul….but who knows!!
I’ll do the lock first though as he’ll grind enough cash questing to pay for my druid’s epic flight form.
And the most annoying thing Poobah tells me is…”Not enough Energy!!?”
and when you’re plugging away at your mouse trying to get the combo to land when you’re about to die and you get is some annoying little GNOME telling you he’s out of energy!! Goddamit man!! JUST KILL IT!!!?!?!
Growl, I’m with you there. Paladr is still a prime candidate for that new content. I still haven’t finished the Onyxia eggs quest leading up to the big ogre in Brackenwall.
Firelight, sounds like you have quite a plan there. I’m torn between Holy and Feral with my plans for my druid. Leveling Feral is going to be much easier, but I also love running instances along the way. I miss Stockades the most… must have Horde Stockades.
I’m on the PTR - Mudsproket is a big let down!
Its 2 huts and a flight path that anyone that level would have real problems getting to with all the highly aggressive mobs that wonder close to the road. not to mention that it will take 5-10 minutes to run there from Menethil.
(alliance side that is - if you’re horde then i dont know if you guys have a base there or not already?)
Its really not all that much to look at!!
It’s great for Horde. We have Brackenwall Village up by the spider cave in the NW corner.
Speaking about that new village…it was put there to fill the level 30-40 questing hole…
What questing hole…?
You hit level 30, you go to STV surely!
Or is that Alliance questing only?
I think I heard that it was to give an alternative to STV because of the extreme ganking.
I’ve only ever tried leveling on a PvP realm once and i hated it!! So i left that toon alone and created Firelight! Eventually i transferred my Warlock to my main server and i dont have to deal with the grief he used to get from gankathons and corpse camping!!
Playing on an RP server it is funny when you bump into a Hordie flagged for pvp!!! >.<
Its backfired on me a couple of times, but its fun!
Especially if someone thought it would be a good idea to go afk while flagged up in skettis!! That was funny! i still chuckle about that now!
I dont think i could live on a pvp server…I’m not great at pvp at the best of times, and getting ganked every 5 minutes would just put me off playing!!
Dont get me wrong i love doing world pvp, when i’m ready for it! Halaa for instance is really good fun!! Where as EPL’s PvP is totally boring!!
Deadr made it all the way to 66 on Burning Legion (PvP). If I could count the number of times I got ganked by a mis-matched alliance or, like Relmstein said, any time there are two of them or I was out of mana, I’d be a man with a very large number in my head.
I breezed through STV with Huntr on Velen. PvE was super-easy mode, especially with a hunter. It was a very rare event where I couldn’t at least start running with Tiggr’s health at 20% and no chance of winning.
There’s 1 time i was running through that elven place in mid Kalimdor (The name escapes me at the mo) heading along the road towards the Alliance village in the middle (Its the place with BFD in it) and this level ?? Tauren Horde ganked me for over an hour! This was the straw that broke the horses back and i never logged him again till he was moved! (Yes i moved a level 29 to another server! Worth the money? I think so!!)
