FaIl of the Lich King

First small update. I was on my old guild meeting last weekend in Netherlands. It was such a great time. Thanks to everyone I could meet there! It was my pleasure. Hope we will be able to meet next year as well. I am already looking forward to it.

So I had great weekend. It would be perfect if my trip to Holland would been more comfortable. Driving there was pain in the ass cause of traffic in germany during the day. Driving back home was pain in the ass cause I was tired and had to sleep in the meantime (was driving during the night).. Why you, planes, are so expensive? And like no good connections?

Hooray though!
Patch 3.3 is finally released. Like everyone couldn't wait it I believe... I have to say I had great hopes in new patch. But unfortunaly, as I was afraid, they couldn't be fullfiled. And if you ask me if I am happy with new patch I would have to say no, I am not. I am rather dissapointed.

I logged in about 18. Had to visit Doctor yesterday (I am a bit ill). So sorted addons and had quick chats.
18:30 over 30 people onlines. Yarr, seems everyone was so eager to see new instance. Invites, we are ready to go at 19. Couple of pulls and what? LAAAAAAG. Same as on PTR. Really Blizzard? Can you pretty please make your game work for at least half of active accounts? Or is it something too much to ask?
Anyway, first boss Lord Morrowgar. V. nice model. I am impressed (despite I have already seen him on PTR). Plus for you guys this time. Pull - whaaat? What I am supposed to heal here? Oh the impaled damage is so sick.. Phase 2 - whirlwind. Oh my god. So scary. It really tickles. So bad. Does really population "devolved" to this level they have to get something on this difficulty level? So despite of lag and one wipe (guess the reason!), it was two shooted.
Next boss.. Pretty unplayable again. So decision was made to do 10 mans. They went rather smooth (grats Blizzard 10 mans work fine! you can play them). Nothing really hard so we were pretty fast over. Nothing else I expected so it is fine.
When I was waiting for 4th group to finish I tested new dungeon finder tool. BIG plus for that. I think troubles with looking for random heroic instance if you need badges have ended (unless it is only first day, but I dont think so and hope it will work quite nice). I got group pretty fast and was able to go to heroic. Really nice idea.
Back to 25 man though! 23 o'clock so no lag. 2nd boss 24 manned I think. Not bad fight. But could be more interesting (oh that person from boss' focus window which is targetted should be topped and shielded!), because of low damage quite boring but ok. It can be.
So going deeper into the instance (or to be exact higher!) we boarded Skybreaker and fought horde. So after Messy jumping, appearing, dying (23 ppl started, then 3 died?), bugging (rocket not properly working), v hard running from flashing rockets, Ogrimmar's Hammer was destroyed. In my humble opinion stupid faceroll..
And last boss we have got from blizzard - Deathbringer Saurfang. Pretty interesting mechanic of the fight, Enjoyable healing, spamming, gsing at the end, cause marks and boiling blood was everywhere. Almost everything which should be in fun fight! Really good encounter, so despite one shot and none deaths I really look forward for this one on heroic!
And finally thing I hoped someone is joking about.. Couldn't imagine how is it possible.. Some RP and Maraudin tells us it will take 28 days to open next door.. Why? Blizzard do you have to baby sit me and tell me when I am supposed to raid or something? I can't understand this. It is 4 weeks of mindlessly farming first bosses cause they are really really easy. You really like to use us stupid players and farm money, do not you? *sigh*

Ah we pulled 3 packs of mobs on 10 man (2 big skellies and one pack) it was interesting to heal, same as 2 big packs on 25 man. Probably more interesting than most of the bosses. Where are those interesting encounters (despite saurfang) you did promis blizzard? If my renew heal most of the debuff damage I am sorry to say you but it is not interesting..

So I feel a bit disappointed. It doesn't look promising for the future as well.. Ok maybe hard modes will be interesting, I can't deny it. But why blizz makes them easier for us as well (we have so much time till Arthas hits), so everyone will be pretty nicely geared.. And if they finally hit won't stop us or other guild for long.. Was it so hard to wait like one month, make like maybe one boss Sartharion like (so many possibilies there on CoA (hello people if you ever read that), why it is not used?) and give us whole instance at once so we can play how we want and not how you guide us like good mommy? If not you could make them at least a bit harder.. Do I ask for too much?
