After being so happy in World of Warcraft in late Legion, I will have to admit that the first part of Battle for Azeroth was difficult for me. I felt like casters were useless and unwanted, and I was struggling to find groups. I did join some Uldir runs, but the raiding atmosphere was not really good, and I was not enjoying myself, so in November I stopped playing altogether.
I didn't really miss WoW that much while I was on my break, but when February came, I knew that my 6 month subscription would end, and I was reminding myself to cancel the next payment, but instead I decided to log in and see how the game had changed since patch 8.1, and I found myself loving it!
My friends on the Horde side had stopped playing, so the natural thing for me, was to go back to my Alliance characters. Krissie has been in the same guild since November 2017, but I didn't know any of my guildies. Now that I was back and people saw that I wanted to be there, they helped me out a lot. Krissie's item level was 362 when I started out, and after just the first week, her item level was 382. My guildies even helped me get a +9 Waycrest Manor that first week, although I was undergeared.
Everything is different in this guild. Everyone is really friendly and seem to care about others, and the atmosphere is laidback and lovely. I love my guild! I'm even doing mythic plus runs again, which is my favourite part about WoW. I haven't really enjoyed raiding, but with this guild it is different, and now I'm loving it!
Krissie's item level is 412 at the moment, and her raider.io score is 1.024. I'm really motivated and I'm having a lot of fun.
I have also had time to focus on leveling alts. My max level characters on the Alliance side, are now:
Krissie, Shadow Priest, iLvl 412
Krissica, Protection Paladin, iLvl 391
Krisithia, Destruction Warlock, iLvl 393
Kriseema, Frost Mage, iLvl 381
Kristina, Havoc Demon Hunter, iLvl 374
Yes, I have a tank now! I know, I was shocked too! I think I even love it a little. At least, I would like to get more practice and to learn more about it. So far she has only been tanking +5 at the highest, but it's still fun.
So yeah, there is a lot of love here! I see it too, but it's such an amazing contrast to how bad things were for me in the first part of the expansion. I just hope all this fun and all this love will last!
