Another Friday, another Friday Five inspired by the creative folks at blog azeroth's shared topics. Thanks to Spinks for this one!
- I hope the flooding in Hillsbrad drowns those headless murlocs. I curse you oh headless murlocs!!
- I'd like to rid all of Azeroth of grouped mobs in teams of 3 or more. They are the bane of the lowbie experience.I swear my voidwalker found every such group as he dragged his to-be-attacked mob as far away from me as possible throughout my travels in Westfall.
- Stonetalon Mountains, one of the most annoying zones to traverse, you will happily be dying in a fire!
- That goes double for you Desolace! Poorly placed flightpaths, and annoyingly spaced out quests. This zone has long needed a makeover.
- Barrens Chat. Please let Cataclysm kill Barrens chat, and please let it not just slide on over to Orgrimarr!
On the flipside of this though, I have 5 Things I Hope DON'T Get Wiped Out by Cataclysm:
- Deep Ocean, Vast Sea. Every single time I've done this quest, I sing the Peter Murphy song after which it's named. And then I have myself a fabulously moody time wandering the coastline.
- All my horde characters have gone to help Ahab Wheathoof find his dog. Read up if you don't know the story behind his quest. It's one of the sweetest in-game tributes Blizzard has done for a (now deceased) player. Adding in Elder Ezra Wheathoof for the Lunar Fest this past year totally teared me up.
- Nat Pagle better not lose his little fishing spot. Because that would be a bummer for all us fisherpeople.
- I only completed the In Dreams quest once or twice (now we level so fast I don't even scratch the surface of that quest chain), but it was one of my favorites, and I will be bummed to see it lost.
- I often feel like I am one of the few folks who loves to quest through the Plaguelands. One of my most favorite quest chains there starts when you enter a creepy old house and encounter the ghost of Janice Felstone. I love the stories of the quest chains out there, and how they tie in to the Scholomance and Stratholme instances as well. I will miss them terribly.
Who or what would YOU nominate to die in a Cataclysm fire?
I voted for Gnomeregan – I always hated that instance!
I can agree with you on the groups of 3 mobs or more point, at higher levels you can generally manage (not always, but generally) – but at lower levels it’s horrible. As alliance it always feel like Elwynn Forest is made to get you killed since the murloc camp where you do a quest has way too many of the nasty lil buggers. You pull one and you’re pretty certain he’s alone.. but lo and behold, he still brings 3 friends!
The quests with Ezra’s tauren and the Elder are great tributes. It’s such a sad story.
