Battle for Azeroth is finally here, and I must say that I have had a blast just in this first day. I was very nervous that server problems were going to sour the evening, but the launch went live without an issue! So far I really have to hand it to Blizzard and how smooth this launch was. I expected for everyone that was waiting in Stormwind to be mass disconnected, but instead we were given our introductory quests right on time.
So far I have already completed four out of seven chapters of the Tirigarde Sound story, and I’ve been loving every minute of it. The characters are great, the entire zone is beautiful and aesthetically amazing, and there are so many quests! Blizzard really wasn’t kidding when they said they wanted to do more Suramar-like quest-lines in the future, because there is so much to do just in this one zone. I have that now familiar feeling of being overwhelmed by the amount of stuff to do, and that’s exactly what I hoped for. While this is only the first day and there is a lot more to experience, I have thoroughly enjoyed the quests and characters, and generous cut-scenes to go along with them. I have no doubt that I’ll be going into more detail with my experiences in Tirigarde Sound, but I’ll keep it brief today. I’m looking forward to playing more and uncovering the story!
I think the expansion has been great so far, and has already touched on one of the two things I’m hoping to see more of: Old Gods and Titans lore!
