One thing (I think) you missed is the cooking daily in Stormwind/Orgrimmar. It gives the new cooking awards - and so is worth doing now to get a head start if you're going to be cooking a lot in Cata proper.

[@lachlank.8270]

The fucking quests are bugged for Undercity anyway. Thabk u Blizz

It’s out already? Gonna have to go look now. I thought dalaran was max can do at the moment

[@brandonkruse6412]

@@stillnotchill2560 You shouldn’t be farming justice at 80, you should be leveling to 85 and spamming dungeons.

[@fuzzyface4515]

This is like the fourth video I've seen where someone says you needed void storage to use transmog, which just isn't true. You could put transmog items into void storage without losing the appearance, AFTER the appearance was applied, but it wasn't a requirement to transmog. You couldn't even apply the appearance of an item after it was placed in your void storage because you needed direct access to the item in your bag to apply its appearance originally.

[@sahidcm]

So, what was the purpose of it?

[@fuzzyface4515]

@@sahidcm The only real purpose of it was to keep equipment for nostalgia reasons, if you didn't want to vendor/delete the items. You could also store your items in it AFTER transmogging, but then you'd need to withdraw them every time you got an upgrade and needed to transmog again. That made it super expensive and just not worth it.

[@Kathkere]

I think you forgot to mention the cooking dailies. They give a unique currency to unlock new cooking recipes, just like in Wrath. So it's a good idea to do them every day of the pre-patch!

[@canthusofcande8315]

a blue post about archaeology on Wednesday said that they screwed up and hadn't put a bunch of common items in the game but was apparently linked to how often you get rares. Something along the lines that the each rare you got made it harder to get another BUT that was reduced by how complete your common for that faction was. So you would easily get the first few rares but would suddenly hit a wall for a few races as you couldn't get the commons to offset the reduction from having the rares. so if you took 600 solves from pre wednesday to post wednesday your count will be more than someone doing it now....in theory.

[@Qatch1140]

You can do another quest at the blackwater river. It's 220 honor a day doing that and the 3 venture bay dailies while in a guild

[@seagullphilosopher2173]

Its a shame they have produced a half baked version of cata. I don't mean the bugs and such thats expected and will be fixed im sure. Its things like the guild perks. I realise that in practice everyone will have had these eventually if guilded...but to just add them as a baseline feels a little lazy and quite honestly like a private server approach. Wouldn't it have been better to just remove them entirely? Otherwise its not really +10% JP is it, that is now just the standard JP so how does it function as a perk?

[@ZhuDota]

I’m doing all the “new quests” and think they are really fun any well designed (first time for me doing them though^^)

[@matiasfraile2557]

I got the pteroactyl pet in prepatch!

[@lct23]

I’m giving cata a chance right now during the prepatch. First thoughts is that world is very empty because leveling through LFD is so efficient. I like dungeons but the world is very empty IMO. I understand a lot of players are level 80 and waiting for the new zones but just saying what my experience is right now. Not a bad time but not a great time either

[@KelvinSuddith]

Interesting. I’ve started a new toon to see the goblin leveling zones, and even in the barrens or ashenvale, there will be a wait for mobs to respawn. Hope your server gets more populated soon

[@Clarkiez96]

Change your server. There’s wait times for quest bosses on the big servers

[@parkerfrode5101]

You’re probably not on a good server. Google ironforge pro cata server populations. Go to the server with the highest one. For Na. Faerlina for horde. Benediction for alliance.

You might be playing the wrong faction or wrong server. The factions are VERY imbalanced on every server.

Such a shame they removed mass sum and res but more so mass summon. It was such a fun spell and invited WPvP to happen. One of the reasons why WPvP was so explosive in Cata was because of mass sum. Sadge
