A light night on the beta, I finished off the goblin quest line (picking up from the mine & cola quests), all pretty solid though I have to agree with some of the comments out there. Going from “we’re going to kick the living ____ out of the trade prince” to “of course you can still lead the Goblins, we still love you” was a bit of an anti-climax. I’m not entirely sure about the “rip the heart out of your cheating ex” quest, while it’s right within the chain it feels like a slight step too far. Though I don’t follow the comments from some beta testers that this encourages violence against girlfriends, ex’s etc, to be frank that’s so much bullshit. If players were going to be influenced to murder their ex based on Warcraft they should be leaving a bloody trail of animals and people behind them already and trying to coax panthers into wearing a saddle.
The rest of last night was spent on the live getting the weekly done (forgot to hand in, so I can’t do this week’s on my main) a heroic and a first stab at Zombiefest. We were close but need to tune it slightly. It’s ours next time.
Beta plans from this point.
Some more levelling on the Paladin, see what the new end game content is looking like and seeing what bugs I can find in the low level questing zones. I think Westfall deserves a look, and coming back to Worgen and Goblins in a few weeks when there’s been some more work done on them and to see if the bugs are fixed.
Oh, and Blizz.. please fix the bug reporting bug.
