sigh so much hate for underwater i guess you people just want to do the same old thing over and over im glad they spiced up wow with that zone its gotten mixed reveiw but hey its mostly people bitching about since they had bad experiences with thge Water temple in legend of zelda which was my favorite temple.(no idea how the hell the comparison happend)
But like people say opinion is like an asshole everyone has got them.
I had a lot of fun in Vashj'ir. The scenery was amazing, the quests were inviting, and the whole aspect of 3D combat was 100% win. I hope Blizzard eventually adds an underwater battleground or arena.
I loved the zone! Before doing the zone, I was affraid that moving around water that much would feel awkward, but I think they did a fantastic job to make it feel natural

One of the best zones, I liked it very much!
Vashj'ir was beautifully done, but atrocious to level in.

Everquest had a similar problem with people disliking underwater zones (though let me tell you, EQ's was much worse). I think it's a spacial awareness issue, with some people just better able to adapt to a 3d environment. The distances were fine for me, with really as much travel time as any other quest hub. I think the only issue I had was that due to the 3d environment, and a decision to put quest marks at the entryways to caves relevant to a quest inside, occasionally it was difficult to figure out exactly where I was trying to go, but a little familiarity, and that was generally solved.
I enjoyed the zone, but upon leaving it, it felt really great to be able to breathe again. Felt like I was holding my breath the entire zone.
Vashj'ir was fantastic. You get a seahorse. That takes the cake.

That underwater zone was epic, especially for a druid. I must have killed over 200 horde between lvl 80-82, if things got rough aka getting death-gripped, i just popped into sea-cow form and booked it
Having mixed opinions about it. It looks great. But they could have done a better job if the q chain was shorter. Especially the Visions.
yeah when i heard about it, I really though it would be horrible, moving around slowly in water, but it was great, especially good to have a new style of gameplay.
I'd like it a lot more if the underwater controls weren't so akward (sp?).

I loved it. From a pvp perspective it took a lot of getting used as melee, the whole being able to move in x,y,z makes it very easy for mages and hunter to kite.
