Random Cataclysm discussion

Is there any quests that introduce you to cataclysm or something. I did some questing in hyjal, just wondering if there is a "main questline" or something.

I did try flying out to the middle of the world a few times, you will come to an invisible wall/end of the ocean you can't cross.

I did however find a giant skeleton (map overlay) very far south of the world, however you can't swim to it because entering the water = fatigue and I doubt I'd make it to the bottom before I die ;/ (even at 280% speed)

Damn invisible walls. they have been killing our fun since mario 64.

Where do you unlock blacksmithing/mining above 450? oggrimar?

**Siniroth** · 2010-07-25 17:26

There's a quest outside orgrimmar that tells you to go to a boat, for the undersea area (name escapes me cause I'm bad with those, Vashjr I guess), it introduces you to the area quite nicely. I don't know about professions

Here's a silly question, Now that the NDA is lifted and official Beta has begun, can I say that I was in the Alpha? lol as long as I don't say who what when where why ofc

**Kaylia** · 2010-07-25 22:28

Vashjir quest are awesome. I hope every area are going to be like this.

Also, fuck whaleshark

Spoiler: show

This one is stuck in kelp forest, and randomly rape you when it get caught in your aoe...which happen quite a lot considering how fucking huge the hitbox is lol.

Well, it's not really a complain, getting rapped by a giant whale is kinda awesome.

I saw that in the yogscast vids, apparently you can melee him from a hundred yards away. I'm pretty happy I got out of that area before it was moved there lol.

Yeah. Dropping consecration in the zone (a wide area at least) is like casting death on yourself lol. Same with any other aoe or accidently right click on the huge hitbox..

Right now, im dragging it to stormwind just because... Screenshot soon if succesful..halfway there.

[edit]
Bah, it stop at the zoneline.

Spoiler: show

[edit2]

Tried again, pulled it to the coast near wetland but died to fatigue at like 10 inch from the side....bah. Not sure i want to try again, especially since it despawn on death.

**Kaylia** · 2010-07-25 23:10

And just to demonstrate how awesomely huge the hitbox is (and I'm not even at max range)

Spoiler: show

[edit]

I love the new dungeon. Difficulty is pretty damn nice, and you cant roll face your way through them. It's also really fun to see dps survive more than half a second after the tank go down. I love the change so far.

Where is the appropriate place to complain about Black rock graveyard, because I sure feel like complaining about it after 10 wipes.

I'm glad I wasnt raiding in vanilla wow. Waiting for 40 people must have been fucking horrible.

I've said it a few posts ago, but I'm loving the new difficulty. I don't know how it is compared to WoTLK 5man (it was already roll face when I started playing), but the challenge is fun. People will know how to raid before joining actual raid this time...not like ICC and ToC.

This is why hunters with goblin jumper cables were everyone's hero

these screenshots are making it really hard to decide to wait for this expansion or go with xiv... beta testers, what don't you like?

focus on hunters, it still gives hunters the burst, but.. you just can't do much after that burst.. so technically its not fixing anything just making it worse in a sense (because of the scaled up damage)

glass cannon has turned to.. a glass cannon that runs fast.. very far away

Combat Rogue got boring very quickly; I'm not looking forward to losing the 5% Fast Track exp bonus and seeing level 80 quest mobs with 30k health. I'm doubting Mut will be more interesting (PvP notwithstanding) due to the cliff your crit% falls off of once you break 81.

Vash'jir > Hyjal, by miles and miles. Hyjal is just fucking boring until the last 10-ish quests.

Go both! Odds are, you'll need something to play (WoW) while waiting on JP midnight for leves and the 24 hour monsters to spawn etc.

I'm kidding. Simmer down. I'm torn too....

**Correction** · 2010-07-26 15:26

It's not like the FFXIV beta servers are ever up, anyway :D

If you like/liked WoW, Cataclysm will be fun. The quests line so far are really fun (think ICC quests), the dungeon are insanely hard compared to anything I've done in WoTLK, the new battle systems is interesting (much slower, dps dont explode the moment they pull threat, more cc). Is it going to be fun after 3 months when we will be stuck grinding the same 2 raids...maybe not, but there is definitively enough goodies to make it worthwhile.

FFXIV so far is really pretty (if you enjoy exploring, you will like that), the mission/story quests are really well done (similar to what you see in WoTG). However, it's lacking content imo...you have to grind on rats and fireflies for hours, before moving to tiny puk for a couple more hours. Everything is more complicated than it should be (crafter fix your gears one by one, menu are super slow, selling item is a pain..etc). It's still early and should get better, but in its currents state, it wouldn't get a lot of sympathy from the non hardcore fan. Assuming they fix every issue, you will probably enjoy it as much as you liked 11, becuse that's what it feel like, an unpolished ffxi.

easy, cata wont come out until what?...christmas?
play ffxiv from release, by cata-release youll prolly be tired of all the bugs and retarded bullshit SE always have in their game for awhile, get cata, level up to 85, do all quests, do all instances, do some raids. after that youll be abit bored with it and can get back to ffxiv which should be fixed up decently by then

thats my plan atleast
