I’m determined to at least get through the fires on my hunter, if not my other toons. I am POOR on this server, funding my own alts, plus my brother’s and Majik’s.<\/p>\n
So I’m running through Kalimdor. I play on a laptop (always have, actually) and not since the days of pre-60, before I discovered such things as frame rates and lag and such, have I played with full graphic details and such. Sure, on the rare occasion at my parents’ or at an internet cafe, such things have been possible, but it’s been a long, long, long time.<\/p>\n
So while running down through Feralas, I turned up my draw distance, turned on the full-screen glow effect and such.<\/p>\n
The difference between that and my regular all-low settings is astounding and reminds me of why I fell in love with the visuals in this game.<\/p>\n
Running through the old world brings back so many memories! And I never know if THAT was the last time I’d be in Feathermoon or if THAT was the last time I’d visit Cenarion Hold.<\/p>\n
I hate change in general. I really do. Bring back Aimed Shot with its 3s cast time and make it so it doesn’t break Shadowmeld until the shot is cast! Bring back 100% mana regen Illumination!<\/p>\n
Overall, I can deal with the mechanical changes to the game. It took me several patches to understand that everything is always in flux, but I get that and I’m okay with that.<\/p>\n
Changing the game world, though, that’s something else entirely.<\/p>\n
On the one hand, I’m excited because Cataclysm will bring us back to the old world, where I arguably had the best times of my WoW career (barring BC raids). On the other hand, they’re screwing with my zones. There’s going to be a flight point in Dolanaar. That breaks my brain a bit.<\/p>\n
The Barrens will be split into two.<\/p>\n
Desolace will no longer be desolate.<\/p>\n
Things will be flooded.<\/p>\n
I know I’ll adjust to it, as time goes by. But a big part of me just wants to hold on to old-school Azeroth and never let it go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
