Can't believe no one's posted some random BC screenshots and the like, but I've got some pretty cool ones. I was looking around Shattrath City and just kind of ended up wandering into Nagrand and exploring for a couple hours. I told Rowain I'd take some shots of the neater shit, so here you go! The whole thing was actually pretty cool, because I was totally alone in the zone, and might've been the first horde/person on the server to even go into it. Exciting stuff!
Hidden content (Click to reveal)This is the one I took as I was just walking into Nagrand. It looked pretty cool at the time! It'd be better if you could see the whole scene, but oh well. It's a very pretty zone.
Hidden content (Click to reveal)Random shot I took after walking around for a few minutes. What's that building in the distance I wonder! It turns out it was just a PVP arena like the one leading up to Dire Maul, or the one in STV. Maybe they'll add some shit into it later on.
Hidden content (Click to reveal)This is a screenshot of me heading into uh, that capturable PVP town. Halaa. Kind of disappointment without all the bombs flying and people swarming all over the place. There's a vendor that sells some mediocre token-based gear, and another one that sells normal gray vendor shit with a couple limited green/blue items (a nice jewel). Other than that, not much was there. Not even a flight path! On the upside, one of the crappy vendors also sold normal/epic elekk mounts that didn't have any race/reputation stipulation attached. I was thinking I might want to hurry up and get the tokens I need so I can get one. Riding elephants are great. But yeah, I was expecting something big and grand from the descriptions, and as you can see it just turned out to be some podunk little town with about three buildings and a handful of NPCs. Hopefully it's not done.
Hidden content (Click to reveal)Random cool scenery shot. What you can't see in the shot, though, is me having to sneak past a 70 elite queen of the elephants or some shit, giant elekk thing. I was worried I'd see her charging into my view from behind before I got a nice screenshot. Turns out, she didn't kill me till afterwards. Also CROP CIRCLES.
Hidden content (Click to reveal)Mentioned to Rowain that for some Nesingwary Expedition moved from STV to Nagrand, he wanted a screenshot. Looks like a pretty much identical quest hub to the other one. Super.
Hidden content (Click to reveal)This is a really really cool zone imo. It's connected to Hellfire Whatever, which is the zone you're initially in when you get into Outlands, but I just kind of wandered out of Nagrand and into it. I like it more. But yeah giant mushrooms and a ton of mob types I've never seen before. Aesthetically it's probably my favorite yet, even though the other few ones I explored instead of doing quests with everyone else were nice too. It's great!
Hidden content (Click to reveal)Rooftop shot of the major horde city there. More giant mushrooms + troll treehouses. Also a neat little vendor that sold me a neat little trinket!
Hidden content (Click to reveal)Kind of a bad shot of Shattrath City. It's a pretty cool looking place with a lot of good shit you can get there, but it was sort of hard to get a screenshot overlooking the bulk of the city without random buildings/the land I'm standing on cutting into half the shot. It's still an okay shot, though. In the center building with the beam of light coming out of the top is a BEING OF UNIMAGINABLE LIGHT//ALSO PURITY (also he looks like a memory stick). Did they make this shit up just for WoW?
Hidden content (Click to reveal)Shot of the sky as I was walking through Nagrand. Again, Rowain asked if it was still the same old crappy, static sky that ended way before the horizon even did that we're used to. I looked up and was surprised that the answer was no! It extends all the way to the horizon, and the clouds drift and shit, like actual clouds (obviously you can't see it in a single screenshot, but the ones in the picture are drifting pretty noticeably too). It's nice. In HFC, the planets don't move, I don't think, but the streaks of light running through the sky do. Pretty cool imo.
So yeah, I'm digging it so far. If only because the best part of the game is exploring random new areas and shit, finding cool stuff, especially when they're VERY new and fourteen billion people haven't already seen them yet. At least, random new areas that aren't SURPRISE IT'S A FIERY CAVE (FIGHT YOUR WAY TO THE CENTER AND CLAIM YOUR PRIZE). I was going to scope out more but I figured it'd be nice to save some of the discovery of the zones for when I can actually do them.
