It’s been almost 2 months now since the War Within was released for World of Warcraft. And so far I have been through almost the entire campaign on Morpheus, my Druid. I already hit max level 80 in the second zone, because I completed the entire first zone and with rested XP and a few delves here and there I hit 80 pretty quickly. After that I mainly followed the main story to open up world quests. Even after that part, the story quest line continues and it’s overall quite long. It’s overall ok, though I don’t really care too much for the last zone with the nerubians (‘spider people’) to be honest. The last zone is also the staging ground for the raids and the Harbinger of the Void, the main antagonist in this expansion

The other zones are wonderful, especially Hallowfall and the other underground zone, the ringing deeps. The interiors of the housing, and the delves are full of details, it’s like you’re playing in a cartoon (in a good way). This is one of the best expansion graphics wise.

The main new feature this time are delves. Somewhat comparable to delves in ESO. Though there has been more work put into these. A few of the delves I liked, a few I don’t care about and there are two I really hate, the underwater ones. But even the ones I like get a bit repetitive after a few times. And you have to do a lot if you want to proceed in the Season 1 scale. I guess we’ll let that one go and just do 2 per week to keep my sanity. To get the full choice from the weekly Vault reward you need to do 8 at tier 8. But I have already gotten quite a few nice drops and have lvl 588 gear overall or so. Which is fine by me to do delves and world quests comfortably.

I am now also slowly leveling some alts (Warlock first :)) using a combination of delves, follower dungeons and world quests so I don’t have to do the story all over again. Also some side quests for the sojourner achievements in every zone, You don’t have to do them all on one character, they seem to be account wide.

Here are some screenshots I took along the way, more to come later!
