Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

First Look

by on Jul.23, 2008, under Beta, WoW

I had a very long, fun and tiring day today so I didn’t get on much but did sneak into beta to take a peep.  The first thing I did was of course fill out my talents.  I went with this level 70 build because I knew I would be wanting to level and heal the instances.  I have more than enough money to spec many times so I’ll probably play with a lot of specs :)

Stormwind Map

I went over to stormwind, I was very interested to see how they fit a port in it.  I remember the first time I read that I was like stormwind doesn’t have a port!  The map looks way different.

Stormwind Harbor

The harbor looked pretty amazing, and wrather huge too.  There was one problem I encountered.  The boats don’t pull up close enough to the docks.  I ran right up to the boat and didn’t notice and fell right into the water.  Then the client crashed, yay!  When I got back in the boat was still there but that crashed me again.  Then the northrend world server went down, no boat that time :P   Finally I was able to head out to northrend, you have to jump on the boat from a log :P

The view after arriving in northrend

This side looks a lot different from where we were during blizzcon.  I can’t even remember the name of this area, like howling something I think.  It was fairly desolate looking and the little city here looked heavily under construction :)

The new city is constantly under attack

The interesting part about the city is that it was constantly under attack by the lich kings armies.   I think this definietly sets the mood.

I tried many of my mods, but just like Inian had told me, they broke nearly everything.  Everything but one mod, THANK GOODNESS… :)   If I can have one mod, this would be the mod :)   Clique, my click casting mod still worked!

The achievement system looks really fun!  This is going to be something that they can update and do all sorts of things with.  A blue on the forum said it has no limitations. The statistical information it is going to track about your character is awesome too!

I look forward to being able to do a few quests tomorrow hopefully.
