I have a few long-term goals on three characters that I've been patiently putting off until I can hit the cap -- one Reins of the Raven Lord, one Ashes of Al'ar (I have friends who want it too and agreed to let me have the first, but we'll be farming it for a few years to get everyone one--yay dedication!), and one arena team (okay, this could have been done at 70, but my druid was 62 when the xpac came out!).<BR/><BR/>I <I>do </I>get discouraged if I spend a lot of time on a level and don't see much change when I'm done for the day. Luckily, my guild decided to start raiding with 10-mans and make finishing all the 10s a priority before 25s. It will give us a sense of progression without rushing things.<BR/><BR/>Your writing is excellent, by the way. Even pacing, descriptive, and cohesive. I always go off on tangents and end up forgetting what point I was trying to make. ^_^;Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275637177494490776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-12461066786790078862008-11-12T00:34:00.000+01:002008-11-12T00:34:00.000+01:00I wonder how the game will be tuned at 80.

I want to enjoy the game to 80 this time and not the race to 80. It would be great to be able to say I am the first to have done something, but I missed so much content with BC when I raced my toon to 70 that as I watched my wife level her toon, I felt sad, because I missed so much of it. So nice and slow is the plan this time.........<BR/><BR/>At least I tell myself this. ;)Ruhtrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826226809918487965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-22611166516234125472008-11-11T16:54:00.000+01:002008-11-11T16:54:00.000+01:00@Michael: that sounds like a reasonable, balanced ...@Michael: that sounds like a reasonable, balanced approach.

And you will be rewarded I think.<BR/><BR/>@David: you're probably right: speedlevelling looks more fun from the outside than from the inside. Still I can't help being attracted to be a part of the insanity.<BR/><BR/>@Eishen: good luck, hope you'll enjoy your week!<BR/><BR/>@Captain the first: in your blog you've showed that you don't follow the mass mindlessly - you think for yourself. I would have been surprised if you had thrown yourself into the race.<BR/><BR/>@Esdras: yes, that is definitly the wrong reason to powerlevel - out of fear of being alone. It should be done with pleasure, if done at all.<BR/><BR/>@Gnome: I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too! You will be missed - as a blogger as well as a commentor. I hope you'll get a journey full of wonders and experiences and that you'll return refreshed and full of energy to the Blogosphere and Azeroth in the beginning of next year. This is not a farewell...

The hardest of the har...10 levels is not that much. The hardest of the hardcore players will get to 80 by Sunday, if not earlier. I'm sure they will be terrible physical shape, exhausted, and burned out. It reminds me of when I was in college and got totally wasted every weekend. Does it sound fun? At the time, it did. But do you look back at it fondly? Not so much.<BR/><BR/>I'll just do whatever there is to do in-game, questing, dungeons, world pvp. Eventually I'll be level 80, probably sooner than later, but on my own terms and in a manner I thoroughly enjoyed. <BR/><BR/>@devv <BR/>Doing all the quests is the way to go! I mean, you can run into Zangarmarsh as a level 60 and throw yourself against the creatures there, but do all the quests in Hellfire first, your level 62 and its soooo much easier. Plus, you have less loose ends to tie up earlier for dungeon quests and achievements, and you get all the tasty quest items, too.<BR/><BR/>Of course you couldn't do all the quests in post-patch 3.0 - My most recent character hit level 70 in Nagrand, before hitting Bladespire, Netherstorm, or Shadowmoon Valley.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052750392687430444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-1510610869597465842008-11-11T04:04:00.000+01:002008-11-11T04:04:00.000+01:00I'm proud to say that I generally savor the roast ...I'm proud to say that I generally savor the roast beef. I like to finish all of the quests in any given zone before I move on. I move a little slower than your average bear on purpose. My feeling is that I dropped $80 on WoW and BC combined, plus $15 a month just to log in. I want to savor every bite.<BR/><BR/>Endgame raiding will always be there. I could care less about the race to 80. For that matter, I could care less about making a Death Knight. I'm a sucker for good content. I know that probably makes me a minority, much like the guy who only watches porn that has a decent plot. But it's the way I play. And that's how I get the most bang for my buck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921087677216126.post-1580610258863598052008-11-11T02:50:00.000+01:002008-11-11T02:50:00.000+01:00Agreed!But, time willing, I'll probably still eat ...Agreed!<BR/><BR/>But, time willing, I'll probably still eat the roast beef too quickly...<BR/><BR/>No self control, and I want to be ready for Arena Season 5.Sonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685452492215810084noreply@blogger.com
