I'd like to lay out my initial thoughts on Midnight, as well as talk about my plans for the expansion, once it finally gets here.
The storyline is a solid continuation of what we've seen so far in War Within. I will say, during the scene in the trailer where Lady Liadrin was begging for help at the Sunwell and someone put their hands on her shoulder, I was kind of hoping it would be Anduin and Faerin coming to help. I think they missed an opportunity there to bring us a reenergized Anduin.
So far, everything I've seen about the game looks fine. I'm super glad that our new delve companion for this expansion is going to be Not Brann. It looks like there will be lots of dungeons and delves available at release, which is always good with me.
The new Prey gameplay looks interesting, but I'm not sure how well it will fit my casual play style yet. Finally, housing looks interesting, so I'll be eager to explore it a bit.
Pre-ordering the game will give me a level 80 boost, which raises the question of what to do with what will then be my 51st alt. Right now, I'm pretty well balanced between Alliance and Horde, with 24 Alliance and 26 Horde, which suggests I lean more towards the Alliance.
When I count my various classes, I'm also well-balanced. I have 7 warlocks, 6 hunters, 5 druids, 4 each of paladin, shaman, mage, and rogue, 3 each of death knight, demon hunter, warrior, priest, and monk, and finally only a single Evoker. So, just to bring Evoker up a bit, I'm leaning towards having the boost be an Alliance Dracthyr Evoker, and then that will let me do the Haranir Allied Race character as a Priest, which will bring that up in line with some of my other favorite classes.
The Alliance Shaman that I'm leveling now is coming along well and just hit level 76. I'm heading out of town for a water polo tournament with the youngest Joarling this weekend, so I won't have much play time, but hopefully I can get this guy finished up by the end of next week and move on to the Warlock. Given that we probably won't get the new expansion until June, I have plenty of time to level this last group of alts.
That's the update for now!
Cheers,
Joar
