This seems worse than the BFA one so far, which had convenient world quests to get catch up gear, it's own story and a unique mount, where as this is just, uhhh do some dailies for Argent Dawn rep and also some bosses are back, because reasons! So now you have to wait for them to spawn and rush there to get catch up gear! Oh and don't go into any populated areas because we added Corrupted Blood 2.0 and it's now unplayable!When I heard there would be a scourge invasion in various parts of Azeroth I kind of figured it'd be more like Legion assaults with different zones spread around Azeroth being under attack at different periods, with world quests awarding gear to get you caught up. And then some overarching storyline culminating in a mount or something.The only interesting part they had so far was Nathanos, but that's more of an embryo of something right now, let's hope they build more on that, and we aren't supposed to spend a month doing Argent Tournament Dark Timeline dailies and literally avoiding other people like the plague. (As an aside, the Argent Tournament is still canonically running long after the campaign against the Lich King ended?)Granted, I am comparing a finished pre-patch with something that's under development and it's not really a fair comparison. But what has been added so far is kind of puzzling.
Why in the actual flux are all those named Scourge people back again? Is there an actual lore reason for it, or are they just being uncreative? Also, are there any cosmetic rewards at all like a title, mount, pet or toy? I'd kill to have a ridable frosty Nerubian.
Only one weapon from the original Naxx, and it's a model we can get from LK Naxx. I'm not 100% on each of these, but I think none of them you can get the xmog anymore: Hatchet of Sundered Bone, Misplaced Servo Arm, The End of Dreams, Soulseeker. Some cross-faction xmogs from trial of the crusader would be nice too (eg: Twin's Pact,The Diplomat, Hood of Smoldering Aftermath,Chestplate of the Frostborn Hero)
Lvl squish, New starter Exerience, Chromie Time, Char Costumisation, the New Heirlooms and so forth will be launched with the pre patch

It's the perfect time to allow some of the orignal Naxx 40 weapons/ armour to be collected for a limited time. Alas...
There's at the very least a pet tied to the event if not more that people haven't found yet. Just searching pre in pets brings up a geist pet from prelaunch.
I really wish they would just leave the whole level squish alone. It's frustrating to see them suddenly boost leveling, only to scale everything back again, so we're right back to taking 20 years to get to level 20. If you're going to boost the leveling speed, why squish the levels in the first place? Why not just leave everything in, take us to 130 or 140? 150? Beyond? Squish the stats, then the level squish, then this, then that. The whole thing just ends up so much more complicated than it needs to be, for no reason at all.
So uh... Bolvar, buddy... Why did you re-animate all the scourge bosses we killed in Wrath, what uh... what was the thought there and why didn't you have any of them protecting you from Sylvanas?
Zod's Echoing Longbow is based off Zod's Repeating Longbow which dropped of Lady Deathwhisper 2nd Boss of ICC
Hey Wowhead, once all the info on this event comes out is there anyway to create a tracker for the items that drop from this pre expac event? That would be Awesome. keep up the great work!
