1-shoting new content and scooping up ilvl 245 loot is fun, right? Argent Colosseum - or Naxx 3.0? Show up w/your buddies, walk out with loot. One new boss a week, each falls over and spills loot and badges like the boss before it. We’re already pugging the zone.
Here’s to hoping the hardmodes give us something to chew on and Icecrown lives up to the standards put forth by climactic raid zones of the past.
If the Colosseum wasn’t laughable in and of itself, they’re recycling and bastardizing more classic content. Onyxia is on deck, complete with a refurbished Vis’kag the Bloodletter, Deathbringer, and Quel’serrar. I’m as sentimental as the next guy, but the recycled content in this expansion has grown tiresome.
One nice thing about the casual state of the game is that it takes little to no time to get toons “raid ready”. My rogue has been 80 for exactly 2 weeks and it’s more or less ready for hardmode Ulduar, minus a couple pieces of gear which I expect to have during this week’s raid lockout. All achieved by running 5-man dungeons, pug raid content, 10-mans, and daily quests. Huzzah…
