Ty Blizzard for DK intro area skip

It might be a feature that’s been in the game for awhile,
but I wasn’t aware of it.

I have Alliance DK’s where I’ve already gone thru the intro starting area (which I hate),

and I decided to create a Panda DK,
and it gave me a little one minute intro quest/story and then bam ! right to SW, no intro area to have to repeat, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

I wasn’t aware of it, but i was dreading having to do the intro area again,
so happy I don’t have to.

That is exclusive to allied race DKs. They get nothing. Core race DKs still get the cool starting experience.

Well I’m ecstatic for the skip. Did the intro area once, that was enough for me, so happy not having to repeat it.

I made a Zandi DK and just spent time leaping off Icecrown. I really wanted something to do.

Legion sword quest, slay some scarlet crusaders, walk through Orgrimmar getting pelted by rotten food. Wake up in catacomb and fight being enslaved by higher powers. A small trip through the shadowlands. I’ll even take the Garrosh speech given to Pandarians…anything than this.

Maybe I am in the minority, but I always enjoyed the DK starting zone.

No, it’s one of the best starting zones in the game. I have… probably 20 deleted DKs over a bunch of servers because I’ll start them just to go through the starting zone.

Huh. This might convince my wife to play a DK. She hated the “slave to Arthas, be evil with a capital E” quests.

Me too - slaughtering unarmed people isn’t my idea of fun, it makes me cringe. Not my thing. If folks get off on that, more power to them, but once was enough for me.

It’s fine a couple times to do it, but I definitely think a scenario skip should be available to all new characters.

Personally I like the old DK starting zone.

Takes me back to a time where WoW lore felt less Marvel and more Warcraft.

I’ve done that old intro area more times than I can count. I saved one of the gray items from my last time, shortly before the rework.

Glad of the change. Less rp bs I got to do the better. (Yes, I know it’s an rpg; doesn’t make the repetitive rp aspects less annoying.)

Sometimes i make new dks just to play it over… Favorite expansion, favorite class, favorite zone.

Just think, Worgen, Goblin and Panda starting areas will be gone too

Make of that what you will.

So I should make allied race DKs and race change them to worgen?

Literally only panderen and allied races skip the starter zone. All normal races still do it.

I love the dk starter zone mainly because we are on the lich kings side until that traitor darion gave the cheater tirion the ashbringer

I can’t wait for you guys to be sick to your stomachs with Exile’s Reach where you couldn’t click “Do Kezan” faster if you had the speedforce on steroids.

Let’s face it, Exile’s Reach is “ok” to do once. It’s a pretty generic experience.

Kezan by contrast is soooooo much better.

I disagree, one of the reasons I have no Goblins leveled is due to absolutely how much I loathe the starting experience for Goblins. I played it twice and vowed to never again.

Some of the worst questing experiences in the entire game for me involve Goblins and Kezan.

I’d rather level through Exile’s Reach any day of the week. Plus it’s much faster too.

definition of insanity, I’m dying doing it twice (once for a deleted ACC, 2nd charm now)

Bro

Why

Should have been a DK to do this at least

Wish they would add the same skip for base races if you have already done it at least once.
