Well, I had an extremely busy week and apparently the blog lost the post I wrote on Thursday morning. Tuesday, the beta server was up and down, and I eventually gave up trying to log in. After it crashed the first two times, there were no mobs on the world anywhere, and I gave up and went live side.
Wednesday, I had an appt in the evening and so by the time I got home it was after 8:30. I spent the time watching the Olympics and simply getting myself back to a resting place. Thursday, raid was called live-side, so the hubby and I went to dinner and a movie.
So...we get around to Friday night. I have to admit that I'm still rather distracted by the Olympics, but I do manage to quest out most of Wintergarde Keep. I then get to ride double behind an NPC on a gryphon out to Thorson's Post, near the Carrion Fields, which was cool in itself, and then I was ordered to take an alliance siege engine over and go destroy some plague wagons. I have to say out of all the quests I've done so far in the beta, this is by and far my favorite. The siege engine allows you to freeze and blast the mobs, while when you get near a siege engine you deploy a gnome mechanic to dismantle it, then blast away, keeping them safe. Blizz seems to be doing a lot of these types of quests where you use actions of an item, or a gryphon, etc in order to complete quest objectives. I find this a unique approach to completing quests, so we'll have to see if they keep it similar in the future zones.
Once I completed that quest, I was ordered to rescue some munitions, which was relatively easy, and then as I was getting ready to move on to a quest to rescue some alliance guys using a cannon, my computer crashed. And sadly, I realized that the cord had come unplugged and I was unable to keep playing as the battery was dead.
Among the screen shots from yesterday, you'll find some of the death knight flying mount. I have to say that I thought the death knight epic ground mount was sick, but really, the flying mount is even better. You'll have to peruse through the screenshots to see it. I also found a camp on a snowed in hill, but with a boat, and that was also a little strange.
I did find that with them changing the xp required between levels, I went from 4 bubbles from 74, to less than halfway through 73. That was a little bit of a bummer. Also, with the changed mechanics of spell costs, I'm finding the need to sit and drink a little bit more often than before. It'll be interesting to see what the final level 80 costs of the spells end up being.
Today I won't be playing a whole lot, mainly just getting myself back to an inn, as I have D&D in about an hour.
