Bring it all over again!

Då var det äntligen dags igen!

Ca 2år har passerat, och nu midnatt kl 00:01 den 7 December släpper Blizzard nästa World of Warcfraft Expansion-Cataclysm

Bring it all over again :D
(Bild kommer imorgon)
Länk till inlägget för 2 år sedan "klicka"

Denna gången har jag tagit lärdom av min förra upplevelse, och utökat min förberedelse ;) *asg*

Nu är min checklista som följer:

*Över 6 månader som Beta spel testare av Cataclysm.
Vilket innebär att jag inte vara varit en del av utvecklingen av spelet, jag har nu även fått uppleva det för en del andra, skriva upp hur jag ska göra etc.

*2 veckors solsemester på Lanzarote.
Blev ett lyckat sammanträffande. Varit hemma 1 vecka nu, så fortfarande utvilad.

*Tvättar (nu)

*Planerat mat fram tills Fredag

*Ska sova tidigt idag Söndag. Stiga upp tidigt imorgon Måndag (typ kl4-5 på morgonen).... Göra de sista förberedelserna + de vardags saker jag behöver.
Hoppas på att lyckas somna vid kanske 16 tiden igen.

*Vid 22 tiden ska jag gå och köa utanför Gamestop, trots att jag ska använda mig av deras express kö, haha.
Men denna gången köar jag heller innan än efter. Fanns även chans att få en t-shirt och en poster då.

*Kommer ha leggings, jeans, termobyxor, dubbla tröjor etc imorgon kväll, jag är medveten om vädret.

Strax efter midnatt hoppas jag på att vara hemma igen. Och om allt går enligt planerna, så har jag lyckats sova även fram tills kl 22, vilket gör att jag är utvilad. Om servern ej kraschar så kommer jag börja levela direkt.

Målet är level 80-85

Om jag pressar, så tror jag att jag kan göra detta på 3 dagar och endast ett sömntillfälle.
Allt kan dock påverkas av verklighetsfaktorer. Då avslutar jag spelandet naturligtvis.
Ser jag att "servers first warlock" dyker upp, och om jag anser mig ha långt kvar. Även då kommer jag ta en ordentlig sovpaus och fortsätta sen.

Hur som helst, så borde jag kunna vara level 85 senast Fredag och i värsta fall innan helgen är över.
Även om jag ej vinner något, så kommer jag att ha vunnit över mitt förra rekord, tror det var 11-12 dagar....

Återstår att se, jag ska ha så roligt somd et går.
Och även om det kanske är svårt att tro, så kommer detta vara roligt för mig. Det händer som sagt inte ofta!

Beta, alittle Stormwind

Was a while since I updated here.... IRL issues have come between :P

But gonna show alittle of the new SW:)

Was alittle glitchy now when I logged is, so will underliner what the "dev´s" want us to say:
This is Beta, the graphics are being worked on, this is not end result.
With that being said, here we go :


1

This is the Map so far

Found a lovely looking little square^^

Beta, the Tree

Was exloring some of the areas with a friend last night, and we totally fell in love with this tree !!! :D


1

Out of nowhere we were hit by these amazing new features (in this case) in new Ashenvale!

I love that Blizzard has gone back in time and implemented new and stronger colours!
It really has made the worlds come alive again!

2

*look just look*


3

*Speachless*

Now I will ofcourse have to underline that this was just one tree/house/building in a very big zone, so this don´t repressent the entire zone.

But there is so much awsomeness in these Screenshots! <3<3<3

Will be back later with more.
I won´t be running out of things to tell and show any time soon, I am so much I am almost behind on posting :P

Beta, bug fix

So Many things to tell, so little time *lol*
Will do some short stories today :)


q

Remember when i wrote about a "bug" of a Cave that was not completed correct?

That lead to the fact that I was unable to continue in that zone, I ran out of quests :/
The other day I flew by and I saw the cave was "opened/fixed" :D


q2

So this is what it should have looked like :)
They might do some finishing touches, but this is a before and after :)

And this lead to that I could start a bunch of new quests in this zone. Which makes me happy, because the "Hyal" quest zone, they have made really nice :)

It is a mix of calm and great looking nature, soothing colours, and then it burns, it crashes, all mixed into one, it is a really cool zone!

Beta short post

Hi fellow WoW-ers :)

IRL have been bussy a few days now, so it has lead to only alittle gaming in the evenings, and no time to blogg :/
However will do a big update over the weekend, so much has happened!

I just woke up, and now I see that the beta game is patching, apparently Worgens shall be "avaliable now" ! :D
I am going to atleast speed create on, in case they are taken down again.
The players that had a worgen active the last weeks, didn´t loose it.
It was just the rest of us that could not create one. So will take that precaution haha

Beta my test of a Goblin


4

*Jazz hands*

I was sooo tired yesterday, so I had no plans on playing Beta.

However I got curious to see if it was possible for me to start Characters on any of the other "countries" servers, and it worked :D

I am automatically bound to the European server (EU).
All my copied Characters and Pree mades can only be placed here.

However!

1

US Server :)

I was able to create characters on for example the American server (US).

Started a Goblin and pressed enter just to see if I actually could logg in, and it worked :)
This was fascinating stuff for me ! :P

I will probably poke around and work with any characters that are starting at Level 1 on the US server.
The all English speaking was more fun!

Nothing wrong with the EU server.
But we have sooo many languages, and I think we are used to being "devided"
So now all of a sudden, german, french, russian, everyone is on the same server, and they don´t want to speak english, which makes it alittle frusterating from time to time.

So my main focus is to play on the EU server ofc, thats where my high lvl chars are, but nice with a change every now and again :)

Now to the Goblin:

2

I love the dance!!!

5

She got "stylez"

I was not preparred that the Goblin starter zone was going to be that much fun!
Was just going to look in and leave.
But it ended up in a mass spam of screenshots and recordings (a)

Will try not to give to big spoilers on the experience itself, the quests ;)
Will show some screenshots though of this amazingness <3


6

I rolled a Goblin Warrior, this is my Class Trainer *lol*


7
Cruising in a car with a radio station!
I could switch songs and everything.
This was so funny to me, I think I might have failed the starting quests, haha


8

The Goblins love their Bank!


9

This one looked like "Hogger" !


10

After a over hyper experience, I went to bed, and will have the Goblin adventure to look forward to over the weeks :D

I only goofed around in the start zone.
I didn´t even get to complete the quest chain, I was to distracted :P

Must say, this was so amazingly created, that it is by far one of the funniest things I have seen in my 4 years + of playing this game :)

"Me loooove" The person responsible for this idea, haha :)

Cataclysm Beta testare!!!!!!! (This post is in Swedish, it displays when I found my Beta Key!)

Datorn och lärda läxor

Som det förvisso har framgått tydligt så fick jag tillbaka min dator i Fredags :)

Datorn fick nytt grafikkort och nya minnen, så ja, det var tydligen vad jag lyckads ta sönder:P

Grafikkortet blev utbytt till en ny modell utan att jag informerats.
Nu har jag Nvidia GeForce GTS 250
Innan hade jag Nvidia GeForce GTS 8080 (tror det var den koden, eller en likande)
Hoppas att komplett ej bytte ut till det sämre, då lär dem höra av mig igen :P

Tyvärr inträffar alltid något underligt när datorn är på service hos detta företag

1


Denna gången är något som saknas "gummi ploppar", har ingen aning vad det heter.
Ironiskt nog, så har detta problemet aldrig uppstått på någon av det 15 andra reparationerna.

Trots att det är bra med ventilation i en dator *haha*, så betyder öppna hål även att den får in mer damm :P
Så jag sa att jag uppskattade tanken, men ville ha mina "ploppar"

Fick nyss e-mail av Komplett. De hade hittat 2 gummi ploppar och undrade till vilken adress jag ville att de skickas till?

ehhh?

Jag svarade att jag önskade att de skickades till (min adress), och att jag hoppades att det var den adressen som är registrerad till mitt kundnummer.
Seriöst?
Skulle dem helt plötsligt inte kunna ta reda på var jag bor? Eller vart allt det andra dem skickat de senaste åren har hamnat? :P

Hur som heslt, datorn är tillbaka, och hitills verkar den fungera :)

För att försöka ta något postivit ur de 2 data-lösa veckorna har jag kommit till en insikt :P

Datorn/min förmåga att alltid vara kontaktbar, den stressar mig lika mycket som andra kan bli stressade av att kunna bli nådda via telefon/mobil dygnet runt.

Jag sitter inte vid datorn dygnet runt, det har jag naturligtvis inte tid med.

Dock brukar jag starta datorn när jag vaknar, stänga den när jag går och lägger mig, den är bara "på" helt enkelt.

Vilket gör att det är enkelt att kolla mailen då och då, vara tilljänglig på msn, spela 1h om där finns tid etc.

Under denna 2 veckors isoleringen klättrade jag bokstavligen på väggarna!

En av veckorna var då när det var extremt varmt, och då var det ej lockande att ha LapTop-en igång ens.

Nu i helgen "överdoserade" jag i data bokstavligen, vilket var väntat, haha.

Men jag har kommit till en överenskommelse med mig själv
(kan ej lova att jag kan hålla den, men det är bra att ha mål)

Jag ska inte tillåta mig att starta datorn och kolla mailen tillsammans med frukost, förutom om jag väntar något viktigt.

Utan ska helt enkelt inte starta datorn förrän på eftermiddagen/kvällen då allt är klart.

Så lång historia, men för mig är det en stor förändring om jag lyckas :)

Beta day 4, part 2

New Screenshots at end of post!

I am one day behind, but I still wanna share some of the experiences:)

It is hard to describe the first impression (of Beta).
Everyday is a new adventure, I never know where I will end up when I launch the game.

This is not only meant on my ability to get lost (a) haha, or the actually leveling/questing experince.

But it is very different to play a half broken game, all the funny, and yet anoying glitches and bugs. But I would not have it any other way, I am not complaining I am LOVING this!

And since everyday seem to be so different. I do get a strong feeling of that, sure, when cata is released I have seen the majority of it, but it will still be new for me :)

I love to be able to level at this slow speed. To relax, enjoy it, stop and create all my screenshots :D

After the first 3 days I saw I had 170 saved images, haha... So I will start a new folder on a ever 3 day basis!

I love that now it is not the "preasure" of level faaaaast, the guild is passing you, you have to keep up so you don´t risk missing raids etc.

I also love that the elitist competition is not fully there.
Or maybe it is, but I am ignoring it:D

I still haven´t joined a guild, I am in no stress to do so.
But I will eventually. Since I want to try out what it means that you will "level" with your guild in some way.
That the xp you recieve is more because of guild, also mount speed. If they are at 5% extra now or something like that.

The Worgen is still "broken" and it is not possible to create new ones. As soon as they release the new patch I will start a worgen :)

I have started a Gobling, but I haven´t had time to do the start zone yet :P

Will now let some screenshots help to tell the story of yesterdays adventures :)

And I don´t think my blogg is a risk for any spoilers that haven´t been posted online allready.
I write very much from my point of view, so it is not deep stuffs, haha


1

This looks amazing :)

I think there will be a entire zone underwater.
It is not my favourite so far, but that migth be because it is the most "buggy" and is still probably in development when it comes to player movement, camera angles etc


2

I found Nemo!!!

Was swimming around. Entered a zone that is not "active" yet.
However I could look around, and it was a cool feeling to have these cute fishies swimming around me :)


3

Me and a Sea Turtle


4

The Pink of this is so Awsome :)
This is my desktop wallpaper atm


5

I saw the start of another of the new 5 man dungeons.

The under water enviroment looked very good!
However it was very hard and many disconnects and critical crashes, so we didnt get to see much :P


6

Elite Murloc´s *horror*


7

Doing daily´s

Ok, everyone that know me, knows that I never grew into a fan of the daily quests in Icecrown. Which means I haven´t done daily´s pretty much fpr the entrire WOTLK, almost 2 years *lol*

Yesterday I found myself in a situation of no choice.
I was stuck on level 81, I could not find more working quest chains, and instances are not very reliable.

So in the valley of LOST HOPES I started questing, haha... These quests gave good experience tbh, it is just ironic that it came down to this :P


8

Finally!!!!
Ding lvl 82!

This means I will have a new zone to quest in tonight if I find it :)

The level cap atm on the Beta is lvl83, so I want to get there :)

In the next patch they are going to make it alittle harder to lvl up, we will need to gather more xp.

So that was alittle of yesterdays Beta experience :)

Beta day 4

This is just a fast post :P

Haven´t played yet today.
Are waiting for my dinner to get ready, so I had time to logg in and do a couple of quests.

I am not a fan of this "Water zone" so far. The Hyal was more fun to quest in :)

Anyway,
Was doing a quest, and then "box" flashed up, it also had sound.

instant

It happened so fast I almost didnt have time to react, but managed to take 2 screenshots ;)


instant2

Almost some whoop ass :P

I have heard about Blizzard making a instant quest delivery system (which I will love),
but this is the first time I have seen it!
Almost level 82, but this is the first quest I could deliver this way!

Did 2 more quests after this, but nothing...

So I am keeping my fingers crossed that the creators might sit and polish on this function and might let us use it soon...
I obviously managed to experience it the glitch way atleast :D

Beta day 3

The new day has started :)

Haven´t played alot yet, will save it for tonight :)

Had some time to kill, so decided to test and see what "pree made" actually meant.
I thought it had to do with PVP and Arena or something :P

I got a list of class/race combinations to choose from (not Worgen or Goblings)

I have always been curious about the Tauren, and since I don´t play horde I am not likely to get one, haha... So I selected a Tauren Druid!

First I was alittle dissapointed by the lame ingame name Blizzard gave me.
But then I saw I was flagged for name change, so I could rename it to something lame myself ;)


horde4
"Meet Iamnotahorde"


horde5

5k starting gold!

Not only did they give me many full sets of Tier 10 to try out, they only gave me 5k gold to start with, I like the thinking :D

horde3

*Droll*

I have been wanting this mount on my own Druid for quite some time, and here I got it right away !


horde

Full on materials

As if the gold and epic gear was not enough.
I discovered my bags was filled with Enchantment mats and Gems for JC.

And since all the pressents so far haven´t been enough *jk*
I also found out I have max WOTLK skill of both Enchanting and Jewlcrafting :D
So I will both be able to level it eventually, and fix my own gear!

So to sum up :P

I was new to testing this pree made character thing. But now I love it :D

I understood they would have to put some gear on me, but I didnt expect to get the highest lvl 80 epics and all the gold and proffesions, this is awsomeness:)
