My prediction is that DK's will become the new item farmers, grinding up herbs and ore in Azeroth to sell on the AH. Spend two hours doing the DK starter quests and Bam, you have a well-geared Level 58 with an automatic super-fast mount if you take the the appropriate Unholy talents. I'm skilling up in Mining/Blacksmithing and it's not uncommon to see the well-known Iron/Mithril/Thorium sites camped by 5-6 DK's during peak hours.
That's why I'm going Skinning (and maybe LW) with my DK - it's the one gathering profession I don't have maxed out and it's the one that never requires searching for over-camped nodes. I pity anyone trying to legitimately level mining or herbalism in the old world, holy hell.
I mean even in Northrend I'm lucky to find 1-2 nodes of fucking Goldclover at all. I spent three days playing and managed to only get to 402 in herbs. I'm not sure if that's just because so many people are picking over the herb nodes, or if there are just fewer herb nodes in Northrend to begin with, or both.
Being a raider since well, MC, I've gotten used to turning off WoW sound for Vent and my personal music. However, as soon as I hit Northrend, I've stayed off vent, kept foobar closed, turned off the sound effects, and cranked the ambiance and game music levels.
I must say, the music in the new expansion is friggin' phenomenal. Grizzly Hills is my favorite zone so far. The music is excellent, and the whole zone gives off a "13th Warrior" vibe. Killing bear-mans made me want to go watch it, again.
Yeah, I'm the same way, usually had music down low so that I could listen on vent, but I just reinstalled and reactivated after a few months of inactivity, and the music volume has obviously reset, so now I'm actually listening to the music and it's fantastic.

I guess that's the other side of it too, if I wait until 80 to go back and level a profession, I'll be hopefully behind the clump of farmers and won't have to camp nodes with swarms of other people, DKs in old world, and everyone else in northrend.

There are a LOT less nodes in the lower zones.
When you get to Storm peaks and Sholazar the herbs start flowing in. I had to actually skip tons of nodes in Sholazar because it would have killed too much time.

Double awesome when people ninja the node right out from under you while you are clearing the mob that is circling it.

It appeared to me by design. I was on at like 7am and there were hardly any people on, and still a distinct lack of nodes. As soon as I got to Sholazar/Storm Peaks/Zul'Drak my minimap was a christmas tree.

Yes, some of my favorite moments in WOW are when that happens.
This happens with quest items/mobs too. It's awesome.

This happened to me yesterday.
Was waiting for a mob to spawn, we were setup there for like 5 minutes, even invited another guy so he could get credit. The second he spawns some passer-by shaman tags it. and leaves.
I was pretty mad. That is a severe understatement too.

The "Fire the Flare to Summon the Dragon" is the worst example of this, because you can't do it in a group and if you happen to move or mount or jump at the wrong moment, you miss the quest ending and must start all over again.
Oh, by the way, your flare gun has a 2-minute cooldown, so if you fire it at the wrong time ? Too bad !

The opposing factions respects me more than my own.
Like, the other night, I was killing 3 guys to get to some goldclover. An alliance dude runs up and dismounts. I casually walk over and stand on top of the goldclover, and he /nods, mounts up, and leaves.
2 seconds later. Fucking asshole Horde dismounts and ninja's the fucking node. I whispered him that "hey, that's not cool", and he said "sorry". I asked for the looted herb and he laughed with a response of "dude, i apologized".
At that point I would have gladly paid to transfer factions and just camp his corpse non stop for the rest of my life.

I used the flare while a dwarf was already doing the event and talking to the dragon but it still worked for me. Maybe we're thinking of different quests?

Oh my good god, yes. That quest(line) is the perfect example of "good idea, poor execution/implementation" for quests in this game. I had to re-do that quest (abandon and re-accept from scratch) three times in order for it to finally work: the first time because I moved (and had no idea I wasn't supposed to) and the second time it just bugged out after Karistrasza dropped me off - the quest didn't end, I just sat there and she and Mal disappeared. Hey, super duper. Failing that quest was fun the first two times, why not go and do it a third?
And apparently I got off lucky; I read about people having to do the quest six or eight times before it finally stopped bugging out on them.

I was firing the flare non-stop and it took me about half an hour to finish the damn thing, for a useless green quest reward, too.

Oh, I see, it bugs if you're moving or jumping when she's supposed to let you mount and fly away? I see, I don't recall if I was moving or not at the time, but it worked fine for me.
Let me guess, you're one of the people who insists of using quest helper refuses to read the quest-text and then whinges in general chat about not being able to find what you're looking for?
No, I'm the guy who loathes questhelper and mock people incessantly for using it.

I think that's part of the chain that you need for the final boss of nexus, so the green quest reward sucks, but you need it to get the sweet blues from the quest in nexus.
I should add that if you do not have an epic flying mount, I'd strongly suggest getting one before going to storm peaks. A normal flyer there would be brutal and I extend my sympathies for anyone that would have to endure that.

Yep, it bugs in the beginning if you move just before she flies you away for the 'scenic tour' and it can bug again after she drops you off on the ground. I read that you have to 'run up to her in order to get the quest completed text', so that's what I finally ended up doing and it worked. I don't know if that was indeed the reason why it worked, but I'm just glad it's over.

Yeah, she said something like 'Stay close to me, I couldn't bare having you get hurt by this.' I already got burned by one quest (the one with saurfang against that necromancer and his army in borean) where I didn't listen to what the npc told me, so I stuck to her like glue haha.
If you want to know what happened with the saurfang event, I went "oooh lots of mobs," Death and Decay. then got promptly insta-gibbed. Luckily I came back as a ghoul and just stayed and watched and successfully completed the event while a ghoul haha.

Also, I'm really glad they're hotfixing the respawn rates on quest mobs, because goddamn that was the most annoying thing to deal with all weekend. Every 'kill this one guy/thing' quest mob was camped from hell to breakfast by a legion of people, and the respawn rate was shit for every single one of them.
Oddly, the respawn rate on 'kill x of these' quest mobs were insta-goddamned-taneous. The area in Borean Tundra where you're in the digsite killing the twilight whoevers? Holy god, so frustrating. The mobs would respawn literally the very second they died - too bad for you if you wanted to eat/bandage!
Ugh.

I almost gave up the quest there to get the tuskarr relics. I swear that most of them were right next to those blue hellhounds and those mobs would respawn immediately after dying. I had to wait for hammer of justice to be off cooldown for each and every relic.

That quarry was teh suck. Northrend's version of Zeth Gor where the mobs spawn while you are still killing them. I noticed that they'd spawn in sets of three on top of each other, then stop. Thank goodness.
Frugal soul that I am, I was burning off all of my Halloween candy before buying Northrend water, and did that Candy Corn disappear quick.

To date, I've finished I think 4 quests where I was dead and risen as a ghoul.
And you're right about respawn rates. One thing I notice about death knights that's kind of a pain in the ass is that I kill things SO fast (it's a nice problem to have), that a lot of the time that respawn mechanic kicks in where things respawn faster depending on how fast people are killing them. So I can pull one or two mobs, accidently aggro another 2-3 and kill all 5 in about 15 seconds, and in the time it takes for me to mount up, they respawn and attack again. Sometimes I have to kill the same respawn like 3-4 times before I can mount up and leave in some places (like the place you mentioned).

I want flying back for one reason: avoiding the "dazed -> dismount" bullshit. I can't believe how much I took that for granted all that time in the Outlands.
My guess is that those people are the "The game starts at <level cap>" people, and I feel sorry for them.
I'm one of those people, you really shouldn't feel sorry for me.
I just don't enjoy doing quests. I like seeing new things, and watching fun encounters, and I love playing this game, I just don't like killing seex snow moose. I don't have as much patience for it.
Just out of curiosity, what do you like about it? I've never really understood how people find it so entertaining, and I'd like to hear your opinion on that.
I like, as you said, seeing new zones and creatures; even if I'm killing seex snow moose, they're mobs that I haven't fought before in a place I've never seen before. And to be fair, not every quest is 'kill x of these'. There are a number of those, certainly, but there are also quite a few quests where you're riding a machine and chewing up the scourge or insulting a Vrykul's mother or shooting a stone giant with a cannon from a pirate ship of cursed souls. There are lots of fun quests in the game, but the most productive ones are the 'kill these 10 things' or 'find this book' or whatever.
My point was really that the game doesn't start at the level cap. Your enjoyment of the game might, but I would urge you to consider that if your enjoyment of the game doesn't begin until endgame raids do, then perhaps this isn't the right game for you, because eventually there'll be another expansion or you'll want to level an alt or whatever and then boom, time for more questing. It's a large part of this game and I personally have never been one to play a game if a large portion of it isn't enjoyable to me, so I've never understood the "wow really starts at level x" statement. I'm not saying "stop playing", by the way; certainly it's your money and your time, do with it what you wish, I'm just stating my thoughts on it.
It's so funny, I mean, it sounds like we enjoy the same things. And yeah, raiding and questing are very similar in a lot of ways, I think I mostly hate doing stuff alone. That's my real block. I'm never having fun while questing, but it's totally tolerable if I have someone to talk to while I do it, or if I'm doing it with somebody else. I just dislike logging in, looking at azeroth, and thinking "all right, 14 days /played until I can hang out with my friends!"

I mean even in Northrend I'm lucky to find 1-2 nodes of fucking Goldclover at all. I spent three days playing and managed to only get to 402 in herbs. I'm not sure if that's just because so many people are picking over the herb nodes, or if there are just fewer herb nodes in Northrend to begin with, or both.
Yeah, I'm the same way, usually had music down low so that I could listen on vent, but I just reinstalled and reactivated after a few months of inactivity, and the music volume has obviously reset, so now I'm actually listening to the music and it's fantastic.
The BT quest that requires a Northrend engineering item? Good idea Bliz.
I guess that's the other side of it too, if I wait until 80 to go back and level a profession, I'll be hopefully behind the clump of farmers and won't have to camp nodes with swarms of other people, DKs in old world, and everyone else in northrend.

Yeah, she said something like 'Stay close to me, I couldn't bare having you get hurt by this.' I already got burned by one quest (the one with saurfang against that necromancer and his army in borean) where I didn't listen to what the npc told me, so I stuck to her like glue haha.
If you want to know what happened with the saurfang event, I went "oooh lots of mobs," Death and Decay. then got promptly insta-gibbed. Luckily I came back as a ghoul and just stayed and watched and successfully completed the event while a ghoul haha.
Oddly, the respawn rate on 'kill x of these' quest mobs were insta-goddamned-taneous. The area in Borean Tundra where you're in the digsite killing the twilight whoevers? Holy god, so frustrating. The mobs would respawn literally the very second they died - too bad for you if you wanted to eat/bandage!
Ugh.
But I'm tired of leveling in the Outlands, I just got finished doing that for a fourth time. Oh well, I'll suck it up, not like it'll take long anyway.
I prefer the jumping strategy, it means I don't have to fuss around with moving him.
Also, the Nexus is one of those dungeons that is painfully hard with a bad PuG, and painfully easy with a good guild group.
Seriously, I've run every instance up to Drak Keep multiple times now (Guildies only) and The Nexus has been the easiest by far.
I almost gave up the quest there to get the tuskarr relics. I swear that most of them were right next to those blue hellhounds and those mobs would respawn immediately after dying. I had to wait for hammer of justice to be off cooldown for each and every relic.
Frugal soul that I am, I was burning off all of my Halloween candy before buying Northrend water, and did that Candy Corn disappear quick.
To date, I've finished I think 4 quests where I was dead and risen as a ghoul.
And you're right about respawn rates. One thing I notice about death knights that's kind of a pain in the ass is that I kill things SO fast (it's a nice problem to have), that a lot of the time that respawn mechanic kicks in where things respawn faster depending on how fast people are killing them. So I can pull one or two mobs, accidently aggro another 2-3 and kill all 5 in about 15 seconds, and in the time it takes for me to mount up, they respawn and attack again. Sometimes I have to kill the same respawn like 3-4 times before I can mount up and leave in some places (like the place you mentioned).
Blizzards response was : "Well this seems like an awesome opportunity to put RP elements to use and make an opposing guild to right the wrongs of these nefarious grouping. They aren't doing anything against the rules or circumventing anything to accomplish what they're doing."
Haven't heard anything other than the whambulance about people getting griefed for weeks.
I'm sorry.
85% of that place is flying
Wait, what server are these guys on? Or is stuff like this popping up on all servers? I'd love to find something like this for Ravenholdt.
It's so funny, I mean, it sounds like we enjoy the same things. And yeah, raiding and questing are very similar in a lot of ways, I think I mostly hate doing stuff alone. That's my real block. I'm never having fun while questing, but it's totally tolerable if I have someone to talk to while I do it, or if I'm doing it with somebody else. I just dislike logging in, looking at azeroth, and thinking "all right, 14 days /played until I can hang out with my friends!"
Isn't Mortal Kombat outworld?
