What Now?
Yet another post tapped out on the train. This is starting to be a habit. So. Something like 9 weeks to Cataclysm. What will I try to do before then.
The reality which may not be fully and generally understood is that the next few weeks will be tumultuous, even before the pre-release world events.
We know that Blizzard want to, need to, get 4.0.x out before Cata – they have no choice because that patch is needed to ensure compatible experiences for players in that week or so after Cara when some have the expansion and some don’t. Going further we can expect two patches, not one – at least one week out before cata, more like two, they’ll get out a patch to fix the 4.0.x bugs. Which means we should expect 4.0.x in the next two weeks so that people can get familiar with the changes, and key add-ons fixed.
So we should expect that over the next couple of months we’re all going to be relearning how to play, how the economy and trades will work, and how to obtain and improve gear. A substantial amount of WOW 2.0 is going to be delivered with this patch, and Cata itself is 2.1
So what might be achievable in that time? I’m hoping to get the following sorted:
- get Morkhaeus to 80
- level Mork’s jewel crafting
- level Macmorris’s trades
- get Belmann’s enchanting leveled and make a bunch of scrolls
- get the “well read” achievement.
Check back and see how I went.
