World of warcraft - Midnight early access

Last night at midnight, we started our adventure in the new expansion. While I personally only did a couple of quests to reach level 81 so that I could start dungeons, doing them felt really good. It was great to see so many people questing, helping each other, and trying to level up as quickly as possible. While others may take it easier and slower, some people like me simply like to push.

And push I did. I recently hit level 90. I played a Demon Hunter tank alongside my guildmate on a healer, so our pulls were huge, the dungeons were short, and the XP was good. What I like about the Midnight dungeons so far is that they are much easier to navigate. The pulls feel great, and while the scaling is slightly warping the experience, it is overall very positive.

An amazing highlight was that I saw no disconnects last night, no lag, and nothing else went wrong. It felt incredibly smooth. The number of people doing dungeons was a little lower than expected during the first hour or two. I guess some people took longer to hit 81, but around 2:00 AM, the queues became extremely fast. I went to sleep around 6:00 AM, slept for five hours, and jumped back into dungeons immediately upon logging in. It already felt even better because people have already learned how to navigate the maps and perform the mechanics.

Now, I have a few more characters I need to get to level 90 as soon as possible so I can help my guildies out when they hit the cap. For now, I’ll be skipping questing to focus on dungeons. Aside from that, a lot of people are using Delves to gain XP.

If you are playing right now and want to make gold, I recommend going crazy and selling all your materials immediately. If you are questing, pick up Mining, Herbalism, or Skinning and enjoy the gold coming your way. Once you reach 90, you can start Delves and Heroic dungeons. Note that item level from The War Within means very little in Midnight. By level 86, you will start replacing items even if they are fully upgraded Mythic pieces.

Even though I charged through the levels, I would suggest that everyone else take it slow and enjoy the zones and storylines, as they are very well made. My final conclusion is that Midnight looks promising and might prove to be an amazing expansion. It is still very early, but the expansion is definitely on the right track.

Azeroth is changing, and seeing what Blizzard did with the Blood Elf areas makes me wonder if all the old zones will eventually get the same attention. I would love to see other classic zones redesigned like Quel'Thalas. If you are wondering which classes are the best to play, the good news is that there aren't many bad ones. Almost all of them are at least decent, if not great. It seems Blizzard is trying to keep more specs relevant for the endgame rather than just a select few.

I’m going back to Azeroth now, and I hope to see you all there, defenders of Azeroth. Stay tuned for more information regarding World of Warcraft: Midnight, as that is where my full focus is right now.
