Not only was it just a short hop from its location, but then the chicken did its ridiculous rocket off into space! I guess it's better than when it would "Activate cloaking device" and just disappear, though.MLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501483710006076616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659326122793396570.post-45306791061336647582009-11-09T13:45:47.765+00:002009-11-09T13:45:47.765+00:00I also like areas with lots of green. I still cons...I also like areas with lots of green. I still consider Elwynn Forest one of the better areas in the game. Yes, may be too typical and bucolic, but I really love the whole place. You have a lake, rivers, waterfalls, farm fields, mines, a garrison, a major city, a starting area... and there're places you can see while flying but not visit sicne we can't fly yet in Azeroth. And when Cataclysm comes I hope these parts are untouched (I'm refering to the river area behind Northshire Abbey, and the border with Burning Steppes. There're some tents there, and in the border with the Steppes there's a party of dwarves fighting a drake.<br />So Hinterlands, also green, it's a good area. The only complain I have is that the entrance is a bit hidden. I didn't discover it with my first char until I was above the level where I'd get any xp, so I missed the whole place. Luckily on next characters I went there to quest.<br />It has some nice quests (Saving Sharpbeak is a great questchain, but requires a lot of travelling) and the quest to take pictures of the aggressive elite turtle is fun too. It was also the place to get the hammer needed to summon Gahz'rilla (you get a mace that later has to be turned into the Mallet of Zul'Farrak) back in the days. Nowadays is not needed anymore (if at least they had put the mallet in Kalimdor, all that tedious travel could be avoided).<br />Another thing it bugged me was the lack of vision or ideas from Blizz concerning the Wildhammer clan. In the old times you had quests (and a repeatable one) that gave you rep with the Wildhammers, even if it was in vain because they don't have any quartermaster with special loot. The TBC came and Blizz decided to dump all that work, reallocating the WIldhammers in Shadowmoon Valley. SO hooray for having us wasting time.<br />Haven't been there much since all the changes, but the thing about the silvermanes you say is really pathetic. Of course is not funny getting suddenly hit and dismounted by a wolf back then, but that was part of the game when travelling around there. Sometimes I wonder why Blizz is taking these decissions. Game won't be easier (like other nerfs done), so why modify this? It's a big pile of nonsense.Kurnakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04474173104387646680noreply@blogger.com
