Da Beta(max)!
Posted 09-13-2008 at 03:58 PM by Turkson
So like many people, I received a beta invite. After roughly ~30 hours of downloading, I was finally able to see some of the cool things I could only read about.
First impression, the loading screen is awesome. I love the frost wyrm flying in and landing. I'm easily impressed by giant skeleton dragons I guess
I copied over my Protection Paladin and my Fury Warrior, and I'm intended to look at Prot and Ret for the pally, and all three trees for my warrior. My first task however, was to create a Death Knight.
I highly recommend everyone at least do the DK starting area, lot of lore and just some cool quests and some great lore. Now for the bad news...
Like a broken record, I'll say what every other beta tester has been crying about right now. Lag. It's bad. I waited until about 3 in the morning before I went back to trying to test things.
So far my beta experience has been pretty poor, apart from finishing the DK starting area, I haven't been able to really run my Prot Pally through the paces. I can tell he's doing more damage and can kill things faster, but I can't quantify it. Oh well, I'll try again on Monday when everyone's back to work or to school.
