My Impressions of TWW – 36:18

My thoughts on XP, leveling, the quality of the storylines, getting the pacing of leveling right (if possible), the music (stunning as always), zone design, why my druid is walking, riding ground mounts, and not shapeshifting, and what is the name of dynamic flying this month?

 

The Rookery as a Follower Dungeon – 1:10:35

Smoothly integrated in the flow of the campaign – can we do that with all of them?

 

Couple of Quality of Life Improvements 1:16:45

The small things do add to immersion.

 

Raid of the Month:  Crucible of Storms (BfA) – 1:22:56

Hunting for some 5 year old traces of Xal’Atath that I missed in current raid content – will it pay off?

 

Opinion on the Trading Post – 1:34:20

Adding my small opinion onto the bonfire that is Trading Post feedback – mine is not filled with anger, I promise.
