There's a crapload of stuff to do in this upcoming patch. Thanks to Blizzard's shift in patch design, from just high end content to a solid mix of content for all player types, the Call of the Crusade patch has my head spinning. I hope you have a grasp on the content thanks to
our extensive coverage, but that doesn't mean you have a plan for tonight. I
love content, so my plan is already in the works.
I'm a realist. I will be shocked, stunned, stupefied if the servers come up on time. Let alone coming up and being stable enough to
raid, heroic get anything of substance done. My pessimistic outlook on patching doesn't mean I won't be logging in though. You damn well better believe I will be spamming the servers next to each and everyone of you. Downloading the patch is of the utmost importance, but I haven't seen it available anywhere as of the time of this writing. The first order of business that we should all take care of upon logging in is following
Heartbourne's advice, and dumping the old and busted emblems for some new hotness. With a purse full of
Emblems of Conquest I will be able to pick up a few minor upgrades before venturing into the new 5-man and old heroics. Then Solidsamm will revisit his old stomping ground of the
Argent Tournament. He's heard through the grapevine that there's a lot more to do up there these days. Not to mention that the Black Knight has been heard calling him out.
My little stabbing machine can receive his fair share of upgrades from Conquest and Triumph badges, but its Solidsagart who can benefit the most. I'll surely get called into heroics and raids during the week, but my main focus is going to be on the priest. I'd be absolutely stupid to not hit level 80 on my healer ASAP. With everyone and their brother once again running heroics it'll be incredibly easy to find groups, and fairly easy to collect badges for her. Much to the hardcore playerbase's chagrin, she'll be geared out the wazoo in no time. She'll just have to wait until Solidsamm conquers the new 5-man dungeon.
Those are the basic starting points for me. What are you going to do as soon as the servers return to a stable state? Return to the Argent Tournament grounds for the new dailies and
easy money? Continue working on your pile of Champion's Seals for the mounts and pets? Go
Raptor hunting? Or are you going to just dive right into one of the four levels of the
Argent Coliseum's raid content?
As with all patches, I will be rapidly filling my coffers thanks to all the needed materials I have been hording for weeks. Gnomes love gold almost as much as Goblins.
