Comment by unidad86They should have let us know the kara questsline was going to be released later in advanse instead of having ppl wonder if something they didnt do or it was bugged.

they should know by know that the mayor fans follow wowhead on a constant basis they knew of the existence of the quests even if they were not on Alpha/Beta :)Comment by ThewishmasternlHow nice 90% allready has a demonhunter and now you bring out this info lol bit lateComment by perculiaHow nice 90% allready has a demonhunter and now you bring out this info lol bit lateComment by musicallittle1Yay glad I already downloaded the HandyNotes legion treasure addon :-) Saved my booty with collecting stuff, because of course I ran through the content IMMEDIATELY lolComment by OutofCheeseErrorThat's a nice map right there ;)Comment by GhostileShame they aren't going to make the event bearable for those on pvp realm with bad A:H ratio... Really nicely planned event, when the only way you can take part is either die constantly or fly above the field and receive loot for nothing.Comment by AtratzuDemon hunters with Alaina's Bonnet's? Why not, whenever I think of Demon's and Hunting Demons, I think of Bonnets. :PComment by ThewishmasternlThen i'm sorry and you can ignore my comment dear :)Comment by dankmankrankThey should have let us know the kara questsline was going to be released later in advanse instead of having ppl wonder if something they didnt do or it was bugged.

Every time I arrive at one, it's usually just starting or a few percent into the first phase, no matter how late in the 4 hours you get there. And I haven't seen any problems with lag or weird issues like we had with garrisons at the start of WoD (they must run on similar tech). I'm really looking forward to the quest chains coming up as well.Comment by FreeZeMaN55Yay glad I already downloaded the HandyNotes legion treasure addon :-) Saved my booty with collecting stuff, because of course I ran through the content IMMEDIATELY lolComment by XandoraBit gutted I missed out on the bag, but I'll be sending over some Hexweave's eventually. Would've been nice to have a unique bag though.Comment by moosecat11I'm loving the way these invasions are working, there must be a LOT of phases of each one running at each time.

Also on World PvP: Still waiting for a feature similar to Bounty Hunter (from Runescape). At the very least the game needs something to get people to want to kill each other out in the world instead of just packing people on PvP realms together hoping something will happen. Having it happen during invasions is annoying at the least - it doesn't help that the guards do nothing either since they're usually there to make PvPing in semi-safe towns more difficult.

Edit: So apparently people got CRZed into PvP realms against their will. Lol welp.Comment by SilverSapphireKinda irritated that I missed out on a couple items. Specifically the stat flask and the bag. I didn't know about them. Here's to hoping they implement a Demon Hunter specific scenario that lets us go back and grab them....Comment by JaceDraccus
Yeah I've been wondering how they do it. I think it must be something like...an invasion reaches a certain %, and the next person that enters the zone starts a new one, then people join that phase until it reaches a certain %. It's been nice. I was worried I'd end up missing part 2 of the invasion if I was too late, and not get my box.Comment by neoslayyerPvP realms are in ruins because of this. They should be ashamed.Comment by ShamasopallyWeird. I'm already doing a Kara quest line though. :P
