The War Within Pre-Patch Event

We’ve been spared! The weather cooled down for a few days, very conveniently during the first week-end of the Pre-Patch Event of The War Within. I honestly thought that Augustus would be too warm to spend hours on our PCs and that we wouldn’t have the time to complete the event.

I hate it when Blizzard releases temporary content around summer. I don’t care not being in the few firsts to reach max level in a new expansion, these people always end up burned out of the game anyway. However, I do care about temporary content and I would hate to miss on something that will never come back.

Fortunately, Blizzard had tuned the event so people could farm the Residual Memories non stop and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing on Saturday. By the end of day, we had enough resource to purchase all mounts, pets and craft the new heirloom ring. By doing so, we’ve also completed enough objectives for the Trading Outpost to get the monthly reward. On Sunday, we’ve continued to farm the echoes a bit further so we could purchase the remaining pieces of the mail set appearance (which is ugly, but completitionism and all…).

The event was fun and everything went smoothly, except for Dragonblight which was laggy as hell. Soforah ended a few times without getting her reward after killing the Lich King, which can easily get frustrating.

All in all, we had fun and we’re super happy to know that we won’t miss on anything, even if summer would return with a vengeance.

Oh, and cherry on the cake, Wakyn dropped from Warden Entrix exactly one minute before I had to log out. A welcome pat on my back during this God forsaken season!
