Zalazane's Fall and Operation Gnomeregan now on live servers

Update - Added today's blue posts (well, blue post) at the end of the post.

Zalazane's Fall and Operation Gnomeregan now on live servers
The first part of the Cataclysm prologue just started on live servers. Alliance player will find the Operation Gnomeregan event in Dun Morogh and Horde players should go to Durotar for Zalazane's fall. See the quest links below for more information.



Important - The events are fairly short and entertaining, I really suggest that you go play them on live servers instead of checking the screenshots.

This is a very fun questline, it's not too long and it's a pretty nice introduction to what will happen in Cataclysm! For more details on the quests please read:

The normal dungeons require a little more crowd control than many LK players are typically used to, but they aren't intended to be brutal. You shouldn't need to farm a lot of gear before stepping into one. Keep in mind that feedback is going to be all over the place in a beta. Some players are heading into dungeons they know nothing about and getting frustrated when someone can't immediately explain the boss mechanics to them. Some just have no sense in investment since this isn't their "real" character (such irony). Some of the bosses are overtuned and some of the class abilities are undertuned at this stage. Because Uldum and Twilight don't have quest rewards yet, there are also some folks who are just really undergeared. Half your glyphs probably don't work. The new enchants aren't readily available. And so it goes. That sort of thing will all get ironed out over the next several weeks.

You shouldn't have huge mana problems in a normal dungeon. Your middle heal should get you through most of it just fine. You'll have to use more of your emergency heals in the heroics and raids, and you'll also be expected to gear up a little more for the heroics and raids. In Burning Crusade, players went and finished the Shadowmoon quest lines or got their reps to Exalted or maxed out their trade skills in order to have the best gear available for the heroics and raids. That is our model for Cataclysm. (Source)

    Any achievements attached to this thing, or just the quest?

    Is this bugged or what ? Whenever I get near a frog, it disapears and I check my bag and there is nothing in there.

    Are there any rewards other than a feat of strength?

    Anyone know what's the minimum level to do the quests? I was able to do every quest up to "Dance of the Spirits" on my 61 warrior (horde), but cant grab the next quest.

    edit: "Preparin' For Battle" requires level 75.

    well at least I could get [Darkspear Pride] on my warrior. no feat of strength though.

    I have to say that when I first heard about the overcloaks (a feature many people have been asking for since Vanilla) I was thrilled about this event and planned on renewing my subscription just to get one (especially since it would probably end up being the only way to get one with a Horde emblem). Now that I've read a few reports saying that the overcloaks were replaced with plain white item style cloaks that you have to equip in lieu of your epic cloak, frankly I have no motivation to renew until Cata. We'll see if the overcloaks end up being a reward for the cultist quests, or another phase of these quests altogether, but right now I'm pretty disappointed.

    Blaah, I'm also wondering that if I should or shouldn't buy description and see the event.

    It's starting with regular intervals like battle for undercity/light's hope. You quest with others, but it's phased, so people not on the quest can't see the event.

    Well maybe I'm just getting jaded but I was very disappointed. An at the most 30 minute event just doesn't cut it for me. Not to mention it's bugged on 2 servers (horde) that I play on (second boss, traitor guy, is evading)
    I dunno but waiting this long for a 30 minute event(with 15 minutes of waiting) with an statless cloak ( nice looking though)as a reward wouldn't be worth renewing my account for. Not to me at least, but to each his own.


    edit: added (with 15 minutes of waiting)
