I get the sinking feeling that the post-Cata Old World is about 75% finished, and that includes the need to revamp the Sindorei and Draenei starting zones beyond little more than reworking the intro speech.<br /><br />There are days when I think that Blizz rushed Cata out the door. Not from any bugs, mind you, but from the unfinished feel of many zones: Alterac (now part of Hillsbrad), Duskwallow Marsh, Silithus, Arathi Highlands, and the BC starting zones.Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3287859335174901821.post-18452939081295751552011-09-28T09:27:28.876-04:002011-09-28T09:27:28.876-04:00Excellent point(s). i don't think i've hea...Excellent point(s). i don't think i've heard anyone mention this before and i'm not sure why.<br />looking back i think these issues and the similar issue with the undead were the breaking point for me with cata. the 80-85 zones were nice enough the first time, but i couldn't bear playing through all the same stuff again since so much of it is "hidden" until you do X number of quests. being an altoholic, i was really looking forward to the revamped old world and the new races. so, i played both a worgen and goblin through their starter areas and like you say, at some point you just hit a dead end, in typical warcraft fashion. same with the undead. i thoroughly enjoyed rolling my first undead toon through the first 3 zones only to come to a screeching halt in Arathi Highlands. so, for me, these were much bigger issues than any of the talk lately about difficulty and endgame.<br />i sincerely hope that SWTOR delivers on its promise of making story count again and maybe start a new trend in mmos.Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948629508442907091noreply@blogger.com
