2.4 How is it for you so far?

Shadoed

Well, 2.4 finally hit and there have been some positive and negative comments on forums, but what have been the high or low points for you so far?

Best one for me has been the additional daily quests. Quite a few added in both the new Sunwell area and existing areas including a PvP quest in Nagrand that has people actually battling for Halaa!

Worst part has been the all too predictable laaaaaaggg in the new area as everyone crowds in for a look.

How about you guys & gals?

Magister's Terrace is the worst instance in the game.

On Normal difficulty it's harder than nearly all of the Heroic instances and the loot is only mildly interesting.

Seems like a pretty typical "last major update before the expansion" update.

Funny you mentioned this as I was thinking it as I was going over all the details of the patch.

I havent had the chance to check out the new area yet since most of my time played is weekends now but that may work to my advantage since there may not be as many around by that time.

As far as the additional quests and the patch overall I would give it a thumbs up.

Loving the new honor changes, daily quests, new island and my buff to mass dispell -  delicious for AV

I'm still soaking it all in.  There's a lot of stuff here.  Found out how to port to the throne of Kil'jaeden last night and started doing some of those quests.  I have yet to try the 5 man instance.  It's interesting the way that Horde and Alliance are both working together and working against each other.  I got ganked several times on the Isle of Quel'Danas, but when I got to the throne, everyone was working together even helping each other kill targets because you can complete the quests quicker by helping each other.  Was really odd, but enjoyable at the same time.

I like the changes to the combat log, it's much easier to find out what killed me now when running thru Kara. LOL

The PvP rep rewards are pretty nice too.  I was able to pick up 3 new pieces of equipment for my mage for about 50 gold since I already had all the rep I needed.  It's a very easy way to get "starter" PvP gear.

Haven't really found anything I dislike yet, so I'd say I'm pretty pleased.

I think it is one of the BEST instance in the game. I ran through it the nite it opened and we have no problem at all. It is really not that hard on normal mode. I went through it with a PUG and we only wiped like once because of a running mob.

I *love* the cutscene when you finish the quest inside the instance.

The update is good. The new dailies are fun so a little bit for everyone.

On my server, there are quite a few people but no lag. I am in a relatively new server so may be that helps.

I love blizzard how they make awesome patches with good content and call them cool stuff

Yep, faction PvP gear is helping out quite a few of my guildies that are just hitting 70. There has been some backlash about it, but they still have to work for the faction and it is nowhere near as good as the BG stuff.

The new daily rewards are moving people towards better kit too as "badge of justice" is now given as a quest reward from a daily in Shattrah.

Only downer for me at the moment is that i crash every time i try and hearth out of Sunwell.

Looking forward to the morning as our server was on 96% completion of phase 1 tonight, so more quests open up tomorrow

Well I noticed now you can fly to Org from ratchet without having to fly around Xr 

It's the little things I like

ROFL, did you just say it's harder then heroics?  Come on man, really, it's not that hard, I just fully tanked it in 3/4 prekara gear, it simply requires you to know what the hell you are doing.

 

I personally love the patch.  The new faction is great, the new dailies are amazing for money, a new instance to do, awesome.  My only problem is that the island has no regular quests, just dailies.
