    Is anyone experiencing the following issue: I'm all patched up, I was playing the fine yesterday, but now I'm incapable of getting past the world loading screen after selecting a character.

    I keep seeing, run the Launcher.exe to have the most up to date data, which I've done but everytime I've gotten past the loading screen the world is devoid of npc's and mobs. However, I'm able to use the RealID to talk to my friends...

    I'm hoping a rolling restart will fix this issue for me, but this is still rather bothersome.

    Did you run the repair utility?

    The Troll starter zone is so bad. I can't believe people were talking this up.

    I started a new hunter and it is cool that I start with a pet and all, but where is my pet ability window?

    I guess ina bid to keep it simple at the start your pet just does shit for you and you unlock your pet commands a little later.

    Undead Newbie Quest Spoilers:
    I like how much of a badass Lilian Voss ended up being. The run up to her father was awsome when she'd jump on every mob that aggroed and oneshot them into a purple burning corpse.

    Also you can fall off the flight area of Org down to the area below without dying, so no need to wait for elevators when you're going down.

    Who else has tried out Hillsbrad yet? Specifically the Sludge Fens, those are probably the most engaging quests I've done since Duskwood and Stalvan Mismantle.

    Also, Dumass for Warchief. It'd be the most polite Horde ever.

    FYI, "Ashenvale Quests" for Horde appears to be unachievable. I'm stuck at 73/80, and the highest I've seen anyone else get is 74/80 (I am assuming I missed a bread crumb quest).

    On the flip side, Stonetalon is awesome if you're Horde. The first quest starts in Silverwing Refuge (Ashenvale). It's my favorite so far of the reworked old world zones; to this point I've done:
    Northern Barrens
    Azshara
    Ashenvale
    Stonetalon Mountains
    Also, don't forget to buy your Bilgewater tabard from the vendor near the Orgrimmar Flight Master; you can start working on their rep in LK dungeons now.

    Yep. All the old world dungeons. The only dungeons not currently providing rep are in Outland.

    Something weird's going on with Ragefire Chasm at the moment, apparently. I'm leveling up a new warrior, get it to level 15, and queue as a tank. Got into the instance, got past the first boss and up the ramp and suddenly, disconnected from server. So I log back in. And it takes like 2-3 minutes of hard drive activity until I get back in, and when I do, it informs me that I've been removed from the group and I'm back in Org.

    So I try again, random dungeon this time. It gives RFC again. We get in, kill the first boss, and I'm not even to the ramp before I'm disconnected from server again, the same unusually long period of hard drive activity, and this time when I get back in, I'm back at my hearthstone point in Northern Barrens with the hearthstone on cooldown.

    Playing for six hours with no problems followed by two disconnects in a row in the same general area of the same dungeon implies something's going buggy. Is this a known problem with a workaround, or just some mystery post-patch brokenness?


    Also: to add to the strangeness, I went to RFC's instance portal and tried zoning in manually. "Transfer Aborted: instance is full". Definitely not in a group when that happened. Logged out, logged back in, "Transfer Aborted: instance not found". Curiouser and curiouser.

    Well, I did RFC just fine yesterday. Try the repair tool and, if that doesn't work, pray for a fix.

    EDIT:
    Heh... "instance not found" tickles me just right. Instance servers must have been kablooey by that point.

    From what I can tell, the patch is hit or miss with some shit, lots of people running into "broken" issues since the patch. This is all expected I guess, considering the volume of change. I'm sure they are tracking it.

    The good thing is, these are the kinds of errors we're used to seeing right after an expansion drops. I hope this means there will be fewer issues when Cata drops.

    Yeah, probably just the instance servers crashing. I saw a server restart message pop up, logged off, came back later, and completed Deadmines without problem.

    Tier 9 will be replace almost immediately in cata, Tier 10 will last to lvl 83ish, or so I've heard. At this point I'd save the JP unless you're capped.

    Whoever said THAT must have been praying it'd be that way. You'll ditch your Tier 10 in the first zone, possibly even your 25-man Heroic version. Certainly the stats might not be perfect right off the bat, but considering your health is meant to sky rocket... if you're dinking around with what you had in Wrath you'll get hurt.
