I'll probably post again, about the new content, after I've played it a little bit more. Ran around in it twice, first time, the whole way through. Knocked off several achievements and such. But before I get to it, I'll just say when you're in LA just pay attention to the map chat. There'll usually be people asking for help in toxic areas, molten areas, etc as there are time limits and events where you're defending. There were some people just talking in map chat, not being completely helpful, but for the most part the commanders who were running while I was on (and there were quite a few) were doing pretty good at controlling it. Some of the fights we were fighting against level 84 baddies. I think because of the # of people we had in the zerg it was scaled that way.
I was working on trying to hit 6500 achievement points too. I needed 11 pts and I decided to finish off Ettin slayer. Perfect place to do that is in Queensdale, The Heartwoods area. Near where the Champ. Rotting Oak spawns. There is a cave with a boat load of ettins leading into it and inside of it (including 1 vet). And then the mtn around it is also covered with ettins. And they have a pretty short respawn. I needed 105 kills to finish slayer and that got done in about 30 minutes or so. Would've been done sooner but the WBT went thru the area like 4 times, so on top of finishing off the ettin slayer I also got to kill 4 champs. Which helped me towards monthlies too.
Anybody wanting to knock out champs for monthlies should consider running Queensdale WBT (world boss train) for awhile. It doesn't take very long, as there are almost always groups running it. And they do the pre events and stuff needed to make everything spawn quickly so you usually aren't waiting long for the events to start. If you have interest in doing the Queensdale WBT all you need to do is zone into Queensdale and watch map chat. Some people with just /map train? And someone will usually respond saying where they are or where they're going next. If you aren't there when they start one, you might as well go to the next one as it's a lower level zone and those champs don't tend to last long. They have a particular order they run them in too, and depending on who's doing the train they may skip or add champs as they choose too. The drops aren't spectacular, that I've seen, but it helps knock out champ achievements pretty quick. And the train is something to be aware of, if you're running in the zone and you and/or your party decide to attack and kill a champ you may run into an unhappy zerg. Not that they have the right of way, so to speak, but just something to be aware of. I've heard some people grumbling about people getting nasty in map chat about people interfering in the train. Never seen it first hand myself.
Anyway. Dailies are done. Got 2 monthlies done. Got my 6500 achievement point chest. And I'm headed to bed.
Later y'all.
