I couldn't disagree with that more. 50-60* took me ~60% the time it took me to do 35-45 did simple because I had so many zones to work with and unlike a lot of the quests in the 35-45 range I didn't have to run all over the freaking world for them.

If Azshara, Dustwallow, & Hinterlands didn't lack so many quests on the Alliance side it wouldn't have be a problem. But unfortunately they do, so it is good they are adding a lot to Dustwallow.

* - that was all Azeroth, didn't go to Outlands till 60 since at 58 I hadn't done a single quest in WS or Silithus.

Honestly though, when I am grinding an alt, my whole goal is to get the fuck out of Azeroth and get to Outlands ASAP. Questing in azeroth is a lot of run here there and everywhere for minimal upgrade and low exp reward, plus I got two years worth of Azeroth, I want to play my alts through the new content, not the old. Hopefully Blizzard has this in mind when they made the change for the vets.

The worst part about 50 is that there is enough content, however it's spread all over the fucking world

Winterspring=Northern Kalimdor
Un'Goro=Southern Kalimdor
Plaguelands=Lordaeron
Burning Steppes=Azeroth

And you have to visit all 4 locations to quest through the 50s. None of these zones offer enough quests to sustain you, not even two combined.

Saban · 10-08-2007, 01:43 PM

Winterspring and Ungoro both have a fair number of quests, enough to last you a couple levels.

Burning steppes quests run out too fast and theres too many BRD quests, Plagueland quests have to many level requirements to even start them.

And Azshara has like, 2 quests, from what i remember, as alliance, what a waste of a zone. I guess theres a few more that you can find in other places like ironforge that take you there, but its not enough to justify to trip really.

It's the same in the 30s.

No it's not. Tarren Mill/Alterac/Arathi/Badlands all flows pretty smooth. Then STV/Swamp on the south side of the map.

And yes, Azshara is a waste of a zone for the Horde too. So much shit that could be done with that place, but it's a complete waste for a level 51 zone.

Scorp · 10-08-2007, 02:10 PM

Gotta farm runecloth! I never liked the way Azshara looked anyways.

And to the guy who suggested the choice of EXP rewards or item rewards.. seconded.

Draegan · 10-08-2007, 02:28 PM

Jame's quest guide is still the best.

Regarding boss loot drops, they need to use the super-drop from Diablo 2 concept for first time kills (with a few restrictions in place to prevent exploits). Players would do all dungeons at least once if the end boss dropped 6+ items.

Zerai · 10-08-2007, 02:30 PM

I hated STV and I avoid it on all servers, on all characters. PVE or PVP. It sucks.

So does Nagrand, it's like STV 2.0. Fuck that shit.

I hate it, horribly. Worst grind in a long while.

Can't wait until 40 so I can leave and never look back.

Algol Devilstar · 10-08-2007, 02:38 PM

I liked Nagrand, I hated Netherstorm. I find I really don't like dark themed zones. I like them green and tropical, so most of BC I really don't like.

You can level to 40 without it. It's more work, but fuck it's worth it.

Sithro · 10-08-2007, 02:45 PM

Can anyone reccomend a good PVE server? I've been ganked one to many times today and I need a break from this shit.

Not to mention I'm tired of grinding. The 30s in EverQuest weren't even this fucking retarded.

Getting ported and /home'ing in Shat made this a lot easier to deal with :P

Un'Goro & Silithus were still annoying to get to but fortunately most of the quests stayed in those zones.

Shat would be perfect if they added a portal to Gadgetzan, gawd that place sucks ass to get to as Alliance.
