Well, char transfers finally went live on friday...and i was able to copy Mav and Smokez over. Here are some screens of my weekend exploits in outlands(when i wasnt vomiting my face off).
The entrance to the dark portal has been changed. No longer are there 61 elite demons guarding it...its now a base of operations for both horde and alliance military.
*holds breath*
The first view once coming through the portal is breathtaking...
Once at the portal, you find that the path to thrallmar, the major horde outpost is blocked by Burning Legion Troops. The only way there is via windriders...and you get to see some of the hidden content from the initial ride. This location is one of the spots that will be only attainable by those with flying mounts.
Additionally, you fly over a few of the Burning Legions bases of operations as well, showing you the front lines. Here is one of their summoning portals, an objective to be destroyed in a later quest.
This picture doesnt realy do it much justice, but Fel Reavers are the new Sons Of Arugal/Devilsaurs in outlands. No idea how something so frigging huge can stalk up to you so fast, then one shot your face off. These things could be one of the largest mobs ive ever seen in game, the perspective of this shot makes them look alot smaller then they really are.
Hellfire Citadel - the first winged dungeon in BC.
Shattrath city is the major hub in outlands. Each faction has their own specific bases and small villages, but shattrath is alot like gadgetzan. Neutral town, has a bank, etc. It has 2 factions as well. The scryers are the faction that the horde start out friendly with. The factions are linked, so gaining one faction reputation reduces your rep with the 2nd. Each faction has (ive heard) different recipies and items you can get, so its beneficial to have guilds with good faction with both.
Gotta love beta!
Mmm...dodad.Anyone remember this chap?
Time to kill me some demons!
BOMBING RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!YHALOTHAR. My name is retardedly good ring quest reward.

Quest rewards for the first HFC Quest
-
Mail Gloves -
Plate Shoulders -
Leather Bootz -
Cloth ShouldersArrows. Hunters...lets compare the DPS and cost of these...vs that of the AV arrows. (Ice Threaded Arrows, 16.5 dps, 40 silver per stack) Yeah. Psh. What i dont show are the ones usable at lvl 65. e.e
Cool little scripted moment at the end of a quest chain where a bunch of ghosts thank you and bow to you. You feel all warm and fuzzy, however the mobs outside still agro you when you leave.
The Warp Fields is a cool place...if by cool i mean totally over farmed. Right now there are a few quests for it, and only one spawn point for these cool armored voidwalkers that you need to take out. These warp spheres are supposed to be the things that summon them, however some of them are bugged out. Still cool lookin, though.
Lawl rogue geer.Lawl oomkin geer.He looks le angry! (Oh yeah, and my new pet chompachomp)
Quest Reward Sword - Will probably use on my lock with a nice off hand book once BC goes live.
Elite Quest Rewards

Rogue Bewtz -
Pally Bewtz Lawl -
Shaman Gloves -
Another Cloth ShoulderAhhh zangarmash. Nice change of pace from the vomit colored lands of Hellfire Peninsula. A quest from the Cenarion hippies turns you into a bird and they fly you around scouting for baddies.
Cool, but creepy debuff.
SO yeah. Tier 2 legs are comperable to
lvl 61 quest reward legs with the right gems socketed in them. Tier 2 are still a shade better...but its scary how good these leggings are. IM actually using them now to see what itll be like to not rely on tier 1/2 epix while leveling.
So, that will do it for mav for the weekend. Hes close to hitting 62, so ill post some screens of that and the new spell and whatnot once that happens.
I monkeyed around with smokez as well....and the first kill i do in outland...
drops a green item that is better than dreadmist gloves.
Also....+57 stam?!?Didnt do much else with smokez. Hes doing some tailoring, messing around with the felguard(which is sweetsauce) and other stuff. Hope you all enjoy the screens :)
