    To be fair, it's not like the terrain around Undercity was super well-off anyway.

    I mean, gases can be frozen and they return to gas when they thaw. As far as plot holes go the "why didn't Jaina just freeze out everything?" one is pretty easy to answer. Can they eventually clear it out? Maybe. Is it worth it? Probably not.

    Lordaeron Keep isn't really a solid place to take, in destroying it she just eliminated the only fortified position the horde could hold, leaving Gilneas and Stromgarde to be extremely well positioned to dominate the region.

    Hey, peoples who are still playing this a lot. I haven't really picked the game up in a month or two. What are the things I need to do quick this week before they go away in BfA? Is it just this Darkshore event and some thing in Silithus?

    Also is the event with the mount only available at 110? I can't remember if I ever got my orc up to that or not, but I'd like to get both mounts...

    I believe it is 110 only yes.

    You only need to do the Darkshore stuff once, because its a dual mount. When you are on a horde character, you have the bat, when you are on an alliance character, you have the hippogryph.

    Oh snap, good enough. FWIW, my orc *might* be 110. I haven't played her in so long that I forget :D hahaha... if she isn't, she's probably like 107...

    Personal favorite leveling method, just do the basic zone quests up to getting the Pillar for the zone. Ignore side-quest areas and getting to 110 will happen around the 4th zone.

    107 to 110 will take a couple days tops. If you have the money you could even speed it up with heirlooms, they can be upgraded to 110 now.

    Look for any invasions happening. Doing the WQs for those typically nets a level or 2. I went from 100-110 on my NE Druid in about a day and a half. I did two invasions, Val'Sharah, the Khadgar Light/Naaru questline in Draenei world, and the opening quest in Stormheim with one dungeon run of Darkheart Thicket.

  • MuddBuddMuddBudd Registered User regular
    Oh yeah Invasions scale they should be super doable and give a lot of XP.

    Also, if you ever plan to unlock your class mount, you may want to do Val'sharah at minimum. Certain classes need the Tears of Elune to progress at a certain point.

    Invasion WQs are not available if you don’t have a 110 on your account.

    Discovered this the hard way while or I was trying to get my other half’s hunter to 110 and was trying to abuse the DMF buff for an Aszuna invasion.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure I have all the relevant heirlooms upgraded (or at least a lot of them). I think I was doing invasions for awhile for levels too. Like I said, she might actually be 110 or really close, it's been a stupid long time and I have a lot of alts I remember I was leveling up at once :P So it's hard to remember what state each one was in (other than I know my priest got to 110).

    Actually now that you mention it though, I don't think I ever got my owl on my priest, even though I did like 99.99999% of the steps required -_- I need to go back and do that...

    My Rogue has been 110 for awhile though, so that's fine for me. Though I imagine her gear is a bit behind ATM. I kinda stopped playing with the last raid came out. I should probably run through that one time on LFR while people are actually still doing LFR :P

    Edit: Wait, I'm an idiot. Companion app will tell me all their levels... it's been so long since I logged into it I forgot about it :D And of course, now it's downloading some update, probably from two months ago :P

    Edit 2: Oh, lol. So uh, my orc is level 102 :P I guess my Shaman and Hunter are the ones that are at 107 :P Druid at 108... Whelp, probably not doing Horde side. Oh well.

    So thinking about buying the BFA expansion.

    Yea or Nay?

    also any reason to buy before the release beyond some mounts and achieves?

    Pretty sure you can do the Darkshore mount without BFA. And usually the collectors addition with the pets etc... you can still get after launch.

    They replaced most of the WQ and Missions with Wakening Essence ones since the expansion is basically over.

    Wait, if you have an Alliance 110, you can do the event on the rogue and get both mounts anyways. You don't need to do the event on both sides for both mounts.

    You just won't get to experience it the event from the other side (except via YT).

    This is not the case. After that cutscene, when you're inside the castle, Alliance players can walk back outside the hole in the wall and /dance in the middle of the battlefield, which is clear - no residual frosty fog, or blight, or anything. Looks the same as it does before the blight comes out.

    What if you go back after the scenario is over? It is certainly the case in the cutscene.
    Perhaps it dissipates after she freezes it. Either way, not an easy fix for the exploded undercity like that image keeps implying.

    If you go back afterwards, Sylvanas has released more per the end of the scenario, so of course it's back. But in between that second release and Jaina's ice nova, the area is completely cleared. No frosty fog, no gas.

    As far as Sylvanas
    from the Alliance perspective she definitely caved in the undercity. Scorched Earth tactics are what she was going for. Saurfang objected to her killing all the wounded and those that couldn't get out in time. "If we can't have it, no one will" seems to be her plan.

    Also screw her for being all "you come to take what is mine?" Fuck you lady that was ours way before y'all rolled in with green sludge everywhere

    Idk, I blame Arthas more for the fall of Lordaeron personally. She was just picking up the pieces of a shit situation.

    Yeah, it felt like dungeon xp falls off a cliff after 100 so I just quested to 110, only doing dungeons for quests. I even got most of my gear through world quests, dungeons seem pretty unreliable for gear too. But I never got into mythic plus or whatever so idk.

    The best part of the Horde version of the Scenario is watching half the raid run back into the blight and die during the fighting retreat sequence.

    The silly thing about Jaina's frost nova working on the Blight is that it was a weapon they made to use against the Lich King.

    I tried to make a human female mage because jaina was so cool but ... nope! still hate virtually all of their animations. May try again later with a Kul Tiran woman or maybe a female dwarf. Also, I've really been into my nightborne characters. I think they fit the horde well. Plus, my nightborn marksman hunter looks much more like sylvannus than my undead hunter so there's that.

    I attribute that more to the developers not programming in frozen gas, since most players won't abandon the scenario to run backwards. Regardless, my point still stands.
    There's no reason to assume Jaina can just poof it all out of the undercity.

    Are you disputing my ultimate point here? There's no way for us to decide this because there's clear evidence in the cutscene for what I'm saying and in game there's not. I think there's clear evidence it was temporarily removed, you don't, there's literally no way for us to prove this one way or the other unless Blizzard decides to tell us. But the ultimate point still stands, just because she can do it there doesn't mean she can do it to the rest of the undercity.
