I had planned on doing the opening quests for Nazjatar tonight on both Horde and Alliance (to get both spectrums) since some of the initial “rush” for others to check out the new zone had slowed down some. While I did enjoy myself for a short while, the recent changes to the addon code (reference) had my system going a little too haywire. As I was killing the 1st boss after landing on Nazjatar (horde quest line), the system froze and I was then presented with yet another addon error as well as what almost sounded like the old BSOD sound. I use mainly dungeon-related and auction-related addons, with the exception of TomTom and NPC Scan and Zygor (of which I feel quite dependent on). I have disabled many addons already down to just what I need for getting through initial content. But the technical experience was so bad that I had to quit WoW in the middle of the quest chain and check my system logs to make sure it wasn’t my PC. Loud “grrrrr” sounds, freezing, and then all of a sudden unfreezing and someone in front of me killing what I started. Just a poor tech experience. And yes, I had several addons already disabled.
Also, what kind of bothered me at the beginning after the initial cutscene with arriving on Nazjatar was that I saw my character back at the Islands Expedition Captain in Port of Zuldazar before seeing myself on Nazjatar. There were a couple other spots that were poorly rendering as well (have my graphics set to “good” and “fair”).
Before the technical difficulties, I’d say that I was mostly enjoying myself exploring and killing new stuff. I did not have warmode on. Trying to get my bearings first, and if requested I’ll do warmode, but I don’t really enjoy it on.
Yellow-dragon elites take as much time to kill at an ilvl 390 as silver-dragon elites from WQ’s it seems, but I had zero survival problems as a Vengence DH (thanks to your hotfix from a few months ago…thank you).
Going to try and finish doing this opening quest chain tomorrow after maintenance, and hopefully I don’t have to be going into it “addon-naked” this time in order to just get through just getting this initial foothold. If I do, I’ll just wait it out until things with the addons get sorted out as they always do.
