I didn’t get a whole lot of gaming done this weekend, but I did manage to complete all 6 of the different invasions that are going on in World of Warcraft. I purchased the leather appearance set because none of my leather wearing characters happen to be going through the invasions, and my paladin finished off her own set along with the boosted weapon (ilevel 725). I’ve been trying to think of ways to make money in game, but aside from garrisons (which are nerfed) things are at a bit of a standstill until Legion comes out and then we discover the latest money making effort.
To be honest, I’m already a bit tired of invasions and it hasn’t even been a full week yet. The experience is good for lower level characters but once you collect the items you want (including any appearance stuff, and of course the pet) there’s very little reason to keep doing them.
So it’s up to me to figure out what else I can do to keep busy. Running old dungeons and raids for transmog items is certainly one option. Making sure my professions are all at 700 is another. Leveling up that priest I started. There’s lots to do. It’s just a matter of me WANTING to do it. Meanwhile, a large portion of my friends are all involved with this game..
Their screenshots are beautiful, and I’m having a good time living vicariously through their game play in the meantime. The chances of them still playing it by the time I’m able to afford it are probably slim to none, if I know my friends, but we’ll see! As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
I found the invasions a lot of fun, and hit them pretty hard, since it is time-limited content and all. But I got frustrated when I realized I had unlocked all 8 cloth pieces, all 8 leather, all 8 mail, bought the plate set for shards, bought the pet, bought all the jewelry and trinkets and cloaks my alts needed.. and had found one out of ten weapons.
At that point the burnout hit me. I couldn’t imagine running a few hundred more invasions to get the other nine skins. But then I did one more this morning just because I had a spare half hour, and got a second weapon. :-)
I still hope they put the weapon skins for sale for shards, like the armour skins.
