Elemental Invasion - Part 2 on live servers!

It's your own damn fault for not speaking up and telling them how awesome you thought it was.

Maybe if the community wasn't composed of whiney dipshits who don't post constructive critisism or praise things would be different, you frankly did it to yourself. It really is lose lose for them, they just can't make anyone happy.

People are ALREADY complaining about Deathwing attacking zones for god sakes.

Yes, poor poor blizz. They just can't ignore the complaints of the whiners and have to do their bidding. If you go back to the forums there WERE many many people who praised the zombie invasion as a stroke of genius and were frothing at the mouth when they obviously cut it short. Imagine if at the end of the thing you felt like you were in a true zombie apocalypse, with small bands of "survivors" trying to avoid massive mobs of ghouls. I think thats what they were going for, and it would have been amazing.

The truth is they've been hyping cataclyms as the end of the world for over a year now. In blizz's own words we are supposed to be, "...heroes who will rise up to protect their scarred and broken world from utter devastation." THEY are the ones that built up the excitement for something huge, so don't be surprised when people expect some huge, chaotic, world shattering pre-event craziness. I love the game, but come on, even the most hardcore fanboys I know are asking the proverbial, "WTF?"

really boring quests

I hope he scorches the living crap out of every square inch of the game. Everything should burn, screams should be heard, ashes and fire should rain from the sky. Any people whining about not being able to see the quest givers for their brand new lvl 1 "whatever." working on achievements, or world-of-auctioncrafting should be made into bone necklaces for doomsday cultist. This is supposed to be the freaking apocalypse, not picking daisies with deathwing.

No I think you are right, it was like all of Ironforge was shaking now - and dust was starting to fall from the roof. Eeek!

This takes about 200 seconds to do it all. kinda lame if this is all it is for this week. compared to last i mean.

Done.

Guess it is another week of boredom

really boring phase 2 of pre event.

Hell, last week was pretty lame already. Absolutely no sense of danger at all. The Zombie and Necro events were far, far better.

Very slow build up... it does get very fun soon though.

and the first phase was suppose to be fun?

This is getting kinda cheesy..."oh hey, check out the pre-cata "event" guys...we'll give you 2 quests than can be done in under 5 minutes and then let you sit around for 2 more weeks..."

This isn't much of an event, IMO. Even having tried the actual city invasion stuff out on the PTR it doesn't seem engaging. Kill elementals, queue for bosses that you've killed a million times. I hope there's more to it than what I saw.

I never said anything about the quality of the events. I was more commenting on the fact that the event only came with 2 quest this Monday. Why is everyone so quick to attack on forums? You don't get any internet points for it.

I'm sorry I can't find where to start these new quests. I finished all of the Phase 1 quests earlier this morning, so either I am blind or you have to wait 24 hours to get the next set?

Uh, nevermind, I guess I did Part 1 AND 2 this morning. The tablet I just saw and looted without doing the event.

It looks like the elementals have gained new abilities. At least I'm pretty sure the fire elementals weren't spraying Flame Wave (fire wall) all over the place last week.

I can confirm that there is something new with the elemental spawns. The air elementals were spawning tornados that deal 200 dmg a tick (about 3 sec ticks).

The flame wave isnt new, they were doing it last week

Each elemental has a special attack....nothing new

2 min to complete and no new elementals to kill

boring



This isn't even a phase



It is phase 1.1

Still a snoozefest, has nothing on the Zombie Invasion, minus the limp wristed ending of course. It really feels as if Blizzard are so terrified of any sort of backlash this time they're doing everything in their power to make this slow motion (Hey its been going since Ruby Sanctum came out) pre-expansion event as sterile, self contained, and least disruptive as possible.

Weird kind of statement don't you think? "This isn't a phase it's a phase."

These events should be more extreme.Blizzard should ignore the whining and go full out.Elite Elementals of all types in all cities and lands.Make ponds and lakes bubble and turn to acid,make trees catch fire,earthquakes that actually damage or knock you down and stun you.Volcanoes appearing in random areas that after a random time,explode that sends a blast wave that kills you if your in range.Tornadoes appear in random areas that are massive and actually fling players way in the air and fall to there doom.Lightning storms that can shock and kill you should you get hit.Tidal waves that arrive without warning.While all this is going on you hear Deathwing roaring giving a sense that its game over.
Also if your killed by an elemental you ascend and become a random elemental that can attack both factions.

Well logged in for my 10 minutes this week to do these two boring ass quests.

Now back to other games till next week when the next part comes out hopefully.
