Plinked Exexelle through Legion and between Highmountain and…um…that zone to east with all of the 'Trials', got to 108.5. A guildie helpfully noted a Legion invasion was about to start, so I flapped back over to Highmountain (seriously, I cannot overstate how NICE flying is for leveling up alts), and cleared 6 missions, which gave me the 1.5 levels I needed. Woohoo!
Entering BfA as a Kul Tiran was "kinda neat" and I ran through the starter missions. Ended with boarding the ship in Stormwind and telling Jaina to "take me home". After getting my Kul Tiran bearings, I had an unexpected surprise: I was awarded the Heritage Armor for leveling up all the way without boosts. I had though the armor came at 120, which was kind of the reason for all of this. I finish up a couple of missions and, at 111, am just sitting and staring.
I don't need another level 120 DPS. The whole Exexelle was sort of a joke character and now that the punchline has been delivered, there's not really much sense in it. The pain of leveling another character through Drustvar, et al., held no enthusiasm. It's one of the reasons my druid, Onsunshine, has been sitting at 110 herself.
That's when it hit me. I needed to see how the other side lives. It's been a long-standing theory that the Horde has better writing and seeing their campaign would allow me to "fill the gaps" and get the whole story. I've been sitting on a level boost since the expansion dropped. Time to use it. So I created a Blood Elf mage (I'm not interested in anything but the story, so another arcane is 100% fine and I could set up all of the hot keys the same way as my main).
Enter NEGA-STREV! No, just kidding, although it would've been a fun name, I went with the comparatively boring "Anythe", and hopped right in to BfA. The only down side so far is that the capital city is a serious pain to navigate. You have to take flight points between the portal room , the war area, and the crafting terrace.
Otherwise, I gotta say it's a blast so far. The summoning of Bwasamdi (sp.), liberating prisoners from Stormwind, seeing the battle for Lordaeron from the other side and, of course, a crap ton of zone quests I haven't been privy to.
Best of all? No spamming from "Mature Content" every half hour or so.
