I have bought <em>all<\/em> the expansions. I did <em>not<\/em> foresee myself springing for the top-tier pre-order deal, though&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>AND YET.<\/p>\n<p>The interesting thing is that I have some PTO planned for the week of launch (unintentionally coinciding, I swear), and so I saw the three days early access and I was like &#8220;well, shit&#8221; and coughed up the cash. This also included a 70 boost and access to the beta.<\/p>\n<p>So, current state of All The Things for me:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kurn, Madrana, shammy, dragon are all 70, plus now my warrior (who was 41) is 70 as well<\/li>\n<li>Priest and mage are 60 and 61, while warlock is 64<\/li>\n<li>Dark Iron Dwarf paladin is 70 in MOP Remix\n<ul>\n<li>I have achieved my original goal, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m done with remix yet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>I have created an 80 hunter skinner\/lw on beta<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As such, I&#8217;ve also played around with professions in beta, although just about an hour&#8217;s worth so far. The NPC crafting orders are a weeeeee bit fucked. I did report all these things, btw, but:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lua errors when selecting NPC crafting orders (with 0 addons\/etc)<\/li>\n<li>A request for a rank 4 item &#8230; when the item only goes up to rank 3, so it&#8217;s literally unable to be completed<\/li>\n<li>Issues with taking orders when I didn&#8217;t have the ability to add the reagent in that I <em>could<\/em> take the order and then had to cancel it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hilariously, I already hate one of the NPCs. He gives me the <em>shittiest<\/em> mats (if he gives any mats at all!) and then expects a rank 3 (max rank) item! Like get fucked, my bud. hahaha.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, things I want to play around with on beta include other professions plus delves. I haven&#8217;t even left the old world yet, so some exploring would be nice. I&#8217;m not planning to do too much testing because when you then do it over and over again on live, it&#8217;s SO BORING. Like I am ALREADY not looking forward to dealing with the quest to open the warband thing. (I gave some feedback on the very low drop rates for the items, but it&#8217;s ultimately a short-ish quest chain and it&#8217;ll be fine even if they don&#8217;t buff the drops.)<\/p>\n<p>So it bodes well for the expansion for me so far. I&#8217;m hoping to do up a proper spreadsheet this weekend and I&#8217;ll share it with you folks, so you can see just how stupidly organized I try to be when I take things seriously!<\/p>\n<p>What are you all up to?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like, okay, I was 100% going to buy the expansion.
