If I'm honest.. the thing I miss most in WoW since Cataclysm is my favorite levelling buddy. It's not the same without him.
However a few other things that I miss..
1. Loch Modan
My dorf gurls always felt at home here.. it was the place where I could most be found, when I'd parked myself to just chat.
The draining of the Loch is one of the things that genuinely shook me. It was when I first saw it after the shattering that I realised my world had changed forever. It actually affected me. A bit of Stormwind crumbled away, meh.. My precious Loch dried up.. *sobs*. I can barely look at it these days.
2. Orgrimmar
I _love_ what they did with Orgrimmar. But I can't find my way around it any more. And jeez is it ever a long walk around for someone without a mount.
3. Population
I loved the city of Dalaran, and it saddens me to see it empty. Especially as the entire population that used to hang round Dalaran can now be found between the steps of Stormwind bank and the AH. Mostly hovering on top of the nearest mailbox with the largest mount they can find.
I've pretty much accepted the world as it is. I approve of the new quest chains - even if they do go grey too quickly. But I've not yet covered all of the world since it shattered. I'm pretty sure there are going to be more things missing which give me pangs.
Various rantings and ramblings from an altoholic...
The loch does bring a bit of a sad feeling when I see it, and that's without even having played a dorf for very long ever.
ReplyDeleteI have similar feelings on Orgrimmar. It looks awesome, but I'm still learning how to find everything. And on low level alts it's quite horrible trying to remember where elevators and everything is, since you can't just fly over it. And it's just so biiiig! My soles are wearing out :(
My Loch Modan is Darkshore. I was beyond gutted when I flew over Auberdine to fine it in pieces. Even worse when one of the new quests involves saving a few, and finding many that had perished. *sobs*
ReplyDeleteMy inner monologue at the time: Just a game... it's just a game, Softi... stop being such a... well, softy!!
;)
@Saga Yeah exactly, when you can just fly over it, you don't really realise how the poor level 5s feel tramping around endlessly :)
ReplyDelete@Softi Darkshore gave me pangs too. The one that really stood out was Gwennyth Bly'Leggonde.. I thought when I saw her dead.. oh no.. who will solve the mystery of the giant sea creatures now.. It was one of the first quests I ever did, and one that stood out in my memory, and yeah, it was another of the things that *hit home* to me there really had been a Cataclysm.
Menethil Harbour for me. I used to love that place and seeing it all flooded now is awful. I really felt like the world had changed when I saw that.
ReplyDelete@bravetank.. wah! Menethil stole all my water! :)
