I think transportation.
Loss of portals ... and I seem to be having a hard time finding my way to and from the new zones and the new instances ... some of it is just ignorance .. so hopefully ... I'll get over it.

Heroics really are quite challenging, possibly too much so on the healer.
edit: Going to zones usually requires a quest, the first time. After that, there are portals in Orgrimmar or Stormwind that will teleport you right back to the zone. They unlock after a certain part of doing the zone. Getting back to Org/SW however I'd guess just set your hearth. I <3 being a mage.

As cool as the water zone is, and even with the extra tools to get you around in it. I'm not sure If I am crazy about it. The fact that mobs and items can be everywhere, and not just on the ground, makes it more of a challenge to navigate through the zone with out constantly agrro'ing something.

The new vanishing dust for Glyphs once you hit 81. That was a bit of a sticker shock. I did some homework at lunch yesterday and realized I needed to change some of my glyphs on my 81 shaman and was shocked that the dust is 10g for 1 up from 10s for 5. Its not that I couldnt afford the 30g i needed to spend, but I thought that was a pretty big jump in cost.

Very few of the quests offer gear as a reward. I'm fine as I had decent gear but my RL friend is struggling against mobs with close to 40k HP and his crappy WoTLK leveling weapon still. I was hoping to get some gear to him and have him enjoy his class choice a little more.

JC daily quests only starting at 475 skill.
And the lack of transportation to The Maelstrom. The zone can be reached only through the breadcrumb quests leading to Deepholm, which sucks. I should be able to go there even at 80 without first doing quests. Yeah the mobs might high harder, but I should have the choice. Feeling a bit too shoehorned in sometimes in this expansion.

Transportation is majorly pissing me off. And unfortunately it is a double whammy for me because I did a faction change just days before Blizzard removed all the portals. So not only were the portals taken away, I'm playing Alliance for the first time and having major difficulties traveling between the three continents.

How difficult it is to get quests done 80+. I got into Vash'jir (and later, Hyjal) in the morning of the 7th on my hunter and had to stop questing because it was just a mess trying to get quests done. I haven't played him since (playing a goblin and absolutely loving it), but I'm sure I'll go back once it starts to clear out a little bit.

Bugged quests. Ran into two completely FUBAR'd quests so far. One was to destroy 5 things on teh ground... except they never spawned. The other was some defend the rift quest or something in the submarine. Nothing happened as it totally glitched. Tried a few times.

So far?
The one area in the last part of the Worgen starter zone that obviously got cranked during beta where the spawn rate is obscene to the point of waves of 4-5 mobs at a time. As a balance druid, (with heal potions/bandages and very liberal self healing), I managed to fend off 3 waves at level but finally succumbed when I was OOM with nothing left to use when the next round spawned before I could even begin to move away. And I'd had warning, because others were chatting about it in general everytime somebody else walked over to do the quests. I warned my guildmate who went through the same thing today. It was like stress-test on steroids.
And I'm a little cranky about some of the artwork in the Worgen starter zone. Doesn't have the same quality feel. (unrealistically enlarged models for some of the lighting - eek.)
Still exploring the Goblin zone and loving some of the hidden funnies there.

Honestly, my biggest gripe so far is the fact that all the zones are packed. Competing for mob spawns is so lame. Otherwise I really like it, the underwater zones seem really well done to me so far -- I thought they had great potential to suck.

I think the Worgen starting zone had a very anti-climactic ending. Wasn't really any goodbyes -- just POOF!, off you go, good luck, buh bye. Little disappointed in that.
EDIT: Eaoch, that icon made me laugh out loud. Oh man, good times, good cereal.

You and the two people before you in this thread aren't the first ones to notice the railroad nature of the questing in this expansion. This complaint appears to be picking up steam.
This sort of questing style was rampant in LotRO too.
It doesn't surprise me at all for WoW, though, given the "players should have no control at all" nature of the B team design philosophies. Go somewhere before the designers intended them to go? RED ALERT! ALL HANDS ON DECK!

Oh wow, that is NOT cool. I guess you could not do any dungeons till you hit 85 and just quest your way there. Shouldn't take more than a couple hours.

My least favorite thing is the lag in Orgrimmar on my server. It has peaks and valleys but it's always there. There are 3 major cities per faction, plus minor spots for Trolls, gnomes, etc, not to mention the two new areas. Why everything should have to be focused on Org/SW is beyond me.

You have to do two things to be able to queue for an instance. First you have to meet the ilevel requirment. Second you have to have physically discovered the dungeon.
If you hover over the locked dungeon it will explain to you what you have to do to unlock it.

I have to be honest, after doing the 85 dungeons on normal a couple of times, I'm not sure I really *like* healing like this. And that's just normal! I'll have to gear up much more, do some heroics with non-mouthbreathers before I can commit to a judgment, but I'm wary.

I will admit, the healing so far for me has not been easy. I would get bored healing in Northrend, in fact I spent more time dpsing then I did healing. Although I will admit that isn't how it should be. A healer should have to concentrate on keeping his party up.
But man, some of the damage they throw at the tank, I get tanks hit for 70% of their health in one hit. That doesn't do good things in my brain.

I may be wrong on this, since I have only done a little leveling so far, and all that with my alliance toons (PVE server, thankfully). But, it seems that, very early, both horde and alliance seem to be doing nearly the same thing.
I mean, in WoTLK, the horde and alliance first areas that you came to, and many of the following areas, the two faction's quest mobs weren't usually right on top of each other.
But in this one, in both starter areas, I seem to be seeing a lot of horde and alliance killing the same stuff, which just makes for that much more competition for limited resources.
At least, that is the way it seems to me.

I agree. I was under the impression that instances in Cata would be less "burst damage," but I have NOT seen this to be the case whatsoever. Tank falls 70%, and I do NOT have a heal in my arsenal that can make up for that. Throw down some flash heals, and in the mean time, the DPS took a few volleys of damage. Talk about learning to triage! But in the end, voila, OOM.
I'm exaggerating a bit of course, but it seems almost every boss I go OOM by the end. The exception is when the tank is overgeared for the run, then I do just fine.
I'm not complaining, as I'm actually enjoying the challenge. Thankfully, every single person I've ran with has been patient, and understood when I needed to take a mana break after every boss.

Lol yeah using mana pots has become common place for me now. Also having to throw down my super mana totem, whatever its called, the one on cool town. There are times where I have to leave half the party at half health to make sure the tank doesn't drop. I am also using my nature's swiftness instant heal almost every time it is cooled down.
I like the challenge but man, it is not a relaxing game to play right now lol. Sometimes I'll queue as DPS just to get an easy run in.

I'm not digging the fact that I have to be level 83 before I can craft the full DPS sets for my toons.
And anyone notice how the usual worshipping fanbois are avoiding this thread like the plague because their are so far up blizzard's butt, they really don't have a single thing about the game they don't like?

ONE MORE TING... I am horrible, horrible miffed about not being able to level Enchanting/Tailoring. First of all, embersilk is so exceedingly rare it is ridiculous. And paying 180 gold for a stack? Seriously?
Second, enchanting. I have way more essences than I do dust, I think they must of reversed the disenchants or something by accident. Leveling this has always been a pain, but after doing 150 quests and such you'd think I'd have at least a BIT more dust. Most of the quests are all upgrades however, so I don't DE em just yet.
Looks like I won't be able to reliably level them until I'm 85. Boooo.

Sounds like my memory of trying to heal a ragtag group of 4 through instances at level with a resto druid during vanilla. Before boss mobs, I had to have the tank and rogue have their fingers over heal potions (that was their first heal) in order to manage my mana during a long fight.
Well, GC said the point was "managing resources" <snort>. Sounds like they've put in an artificial speedbump going through instances, which I bet was totally unintended.
Thanks for warning (I have 2 healers).
Be interesting to see how this plays out long-term (after people gear up). I wonder if we are going to trade lack of tanks for lack of healers in the future. Could be we will go back to Vanilla lack of healers (and hopefully not the prima donna era again), now that Blizz has "fixed" tanking....

I dislike how un-original all the new quests/dungeons feel. Although, i've played alot of games and i guess you're just bound to see the same thing over n over. Also lvling is super fast which in any other mmo i've ever played has always spelled decline. /Shrug hopefully the pvp doesn't dissapoint.

Inverse scaling of healers.
[post interrupted by Raiders of the Lost Arc custscene]
At level 85 with ~ilvl 340 I don't heal for much more than I did at 80.
[post interrupted by Raiders of the Lost Arc custscene]
I have to drink after every fight.
[post interrupted by Raiders of the Lost Arc custscene]
I oom on heroic bosses if anyone takes any avoidable damage.
[post interrupted by Raiders of the Lost Arc custscene]
I think that Blizzard over-corrected for WotLK faceroll with the massive nerf to healing.
[post interrupted by Raiders of the Lost Arc custscene]
Tanking instead of healing until something improves.

I did Black Rock the other night and DPSed as a Disc Priest. While my DPS was only 2.5k, my Atonement helped keep the tank up and the druid healer was able to focus on healing everyone else. It was a flawless run with no downtime.
This was done with guildies, and it was a good execution of strategy. Maybe this is something that needs to be considered. If the job is too tough for 1 healer, why not bring 1.5 healers?

Regulars are fairly easy to heal to be completely honest. It's heroics where things get crazy. Incoming damage is too high to rely on your efficient heals alone and using anything but for any length of time causes you to oom. Unless the tank and dps avoid all of the avoidable damage healers get overwhelmed in a hurry.
Also, 2.5k dps is not going to be enough to complete some of the heroics because they are basically dps races and doing a quarter of what a dps needs to be doing to down bosses isn't going to cut it, regardless of the little bit of additional healing.

Im level 84, with 70K+ hp on 4 mages, and one of the first quests into twilight whatever zone... and Im farming MUD off the ground ?
I like a lot of the new zones, but I just cant get over the whole perpetualtion of the bleh... farm 10 mob meats, and click on 6 sparkling do-dads.
give me an expansion where every single mob is elite, can really kick your butt... and you have to work for absolutely everything you do.

I think, Sprawl, is because Blizzard knows that leveling is just a small part of the game and I am guessing they will be focusing all content for level 85. For many, the game starts at max level as opposed to being the end of the game.

For transportation, at least on alliance side, I find that setting your HS at Deepholm's temple offers the most convenient travel option. As you HS back to the temple, then zone through the SW portal, you will be immediately at the little portal hub isle. It's far quicker than running out the SW Mage tower, and then flying over to the isle.
Yeah, and as previous posters mention, the linear Questing is really bad. If you miss to pick up a quest that is near a quest hub, the flow of quest can just stop abruptly. Which cause you to waste much time, backtracking looking for the quest giver.

me its also the healing. on my druid i go OOM way too quick if someone do any kind of mistake. just hope gearing up will fix the problem. cause right now it is not fun anymore healing.
^^ I love seeing this. Pre expansion healing was an art. It took work. It took stategy. It took good gear, good mana, and good brains. Then during the last 2 expansions healing became a joke.
Oh shoot look out! Now you actually have to WORK at healing! 3/4 of the replys to "Your LEAST favorite thing about Cata so far is" are healers who actually have to HEAL!! No easy button anymore. I miss the old days when healers where a tough find. Good ones anyways. Being a respected Priest meant people knew your name on the server. Then Blizzard dumbed it down and suddenly every idiot with a Pally, a Druid, a Shaman, or a Priest could heal, regardless almost of spec. Noone cared.
God forbid it actually be tough now. I mean one guy actually replied on this thread "ha ha I had to go dps in an instance just to have fun..." LOL do you get how stupid this is? Ok in the old days, when Healers were really Healers, you couldnt just go do a DPS run because you had to have a REAL healing spec to heal instances. As a DPS people would have laughed you out of the starting area. That was ok because you did what you did (heal), really really well. But then Blizzard made it so you could do both...sure why not be able to do everything.
I find it so funny to see people who never healed a REAL instance in their life, come onto a thread and now complain that they actually have to use Mana management now. That they actually may fail from time to time. That they cant rely on Healbot to solve all their worries. Oh my GOD you actually have to have healing gear to HEAL. You actually have to be Healing Speced to Heal good... GO FIGURE.

Another thing I don't like is the amount of stats you loose when you level up;
At Level 80 my Hit was 9.03 (overkill), Crit was 53.73 and Haste 19.23.
At level 81 Hit dropped to 6.88 Crit to 40.81 and Haste to 15.21.
At level 83 Hit is now 3.99 Crit 22.70 and Haste 8.82 and I have even replaced a couple pieces of gear with the same but higher stats!
To make matters worse 95% of the gear you get is Mastery stat laden which would mean further sacrificing in those other areas if you used them and with, I believe 179.3 = 1 mastery point it would take huge amounts for it to even matter thus not worth it.

I'd have to agree with the loss of portals as well. I have no want to go back to Dalaran or Outlands because its such a pain to get to them now.
I am also a little perturbed about the fact that I am a Resto/Boomkin druid and every piece of leather I get from a quest reward has strength and agility on it. Grrrrr!

Noticed that trend as well. Given they've always treated balance this way, I shrugged my shoulders and moved on. I think there's this assumption that druids level feral. <cough> I will assume it won't be like TBC; that there will be leather balance gear at endgame. <Coughagain>
Oh, and I think I ran across one leather chest piece in Hyjal that was supposed to be an upgrade.
And to be honest, I did get a set of shoulders there that actually were.

LMAO, you need to join Korrigan and Voqar. You can be the 3 musketeers that think anyone other than yourselves respects (or even gives a crap about) your "skill" in a video game.

If you don't want to hear about how to play a video game, then maybe you should avoid video game forums altogether.
The "save the world by inventing new medicine" forums are that way <= , here we talk about World of Warcraft.
But you already know that and are just trolling to make you feel better for sucking at a game...

If you proofread your responses, how do you manage to ignore how pathetic it sounds every time you proclaim your greatness? And for the record, no one is here to "hear about HOW TO PLAY a video game". So we would probably all appreciate it if you stopped trying to teach us. Thanks in advance.

You're so predictable it start to not be funny anymore. And it works every single time, you eat the bait and the fishing line.
My point remains though. If you don't want to read stuff about a video game, notably how to play it efficiently and beat it's challenges, avoid video game forums. If people saying that they managed to do something in a game hurts your butt, try your local knitting club forum maybe, but even there some do better wool pullovers than others...

The goblin starting area was like watching an episode of the Jersey Shore, Snooky and all. Their accents hit way too close to home for me. I hated it.
I'm so glad I recently switched back to Alliance to frolic with the Brits Gone Wild.

It's not just mining and herbing, that behavior is also present when killing quest related NPC's particularly boss ones that you have wait for them to spawn or items that you have to gather up.

Play a priest and heal.
Hands down my least favorite thing. Healing on my priest is awful. It's not fun at all. I feel like everyone else leveled up 5 levels and I leveled down.

Very few of the quests offer gear as a reward. I'm fine as I had decent gear but my RL friend is struggling against mobs with close to 40k HP and his crappy WoTLK leveling weapon still. I was hoping to get some gear to him and have him enjoy his class choice a little more.

This is a result from the blizzard B-team's complete stupidity. They funnel every single level 80 to 85 through the same few zones at the exact same time, knowing full well all of them will be leveling their crafting, all while putting not nearly enough nodes for everyone to be able to level it up.
Anyone with a single brain cell could see that this behavior would be the worst it has ever been but for some reason blizzard decided to do it anyway.
The underground mining bots are 10X worse than they ever were in WG and the gold selling market is booming (thanks to the stacks of obsidium bars selling for 600+ gold a pop)
Thanks blizz, great planning there

I'm surprised nobody mentioned BoP chaos orbs in this thread, and also the fact that any moron can roll on them even if he doesn't have a trade skill using them. Making the orbs BoP is the worst thing I've seen so far, it's really back to stone age compared to the progress made in WotLK.
