Well well well, Battle for Azeroth is coming on August 14th.
My Fall Semester will begin the next week, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll have a week to play Battle for Azeroth before classes begin, because I’ll be stuck in faculty meetings of one sort or another for quite a bit of that week.
I have three rather massive school-related projects I need to work on over the summer — I desperately need to thoroughly overhaul my online homework assignments, I desperately need to write some Staff Notes for my lab manuals so that the stockroom assistants will be able to get the labs fully set up for me and I won’t have to scramble at the last minute trying to find stuff every week, and I need to revise and update my lab manuals.
I will need to focus on those projects during kiddo’s mid-day naptime.
So, I am looking at the things I want to accomplish in the Broken Isles and sorting them into things that must be done before August 14th because they require participating in Legion group content, and things that can wait because they don’t require participating in Legion group content.
Things that DO have to be done before August 14th
* Take Kamalia to the last wing of Nighthold LFR (Gul’dan) so that she can unlock the “Whispers of a Frightened World” scenario
* Do enough of Argus with Kiralaira to get through running the Seat of the Triumvirate dungeon; finishing up Argus after that point may have to wait
* Level Hunter, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Warlock, Death Knight, Monk, Warrior, and Druid to 110 and complete their 7.0 Order Hall Campaigns because ai-yi-yi so many dungeons that must be run
* Do Blacksmithing questchain until complete Demonsteel set can be crafted, because that process is sure to involve dungeons that must be run
* LFR Emerald Nightmare/Nighthold with Kerisa to get that Druid Tier set (I happen to think the LFR coloration is the prettiest for that set)
* Finish Broken Shore campaign with Kaelinda, because the Mage Flying Disc is the only Class Mount that I really really really want
Things that DON’T have to be done before August 14th
* Doing enough of Argus with Kamalia to unlock the other Magni Bronzebeard scenario (I forget what it is called right now) — unless that doesn’t open up until after the Seat of the Triumvirate part, in which case it will need to be done before
* Doing enough of the Broken Shore campaign to get everyone their last Order Hall Champion
* Taking Xe’ra’s Revisionist History of Illidan course with Kiralaira
* Doing Deaths of Chromie with Karaelia
* Recruiting the Highmountain Tauren and starting to level those new characters
* Recruiting the Void Elves and starting to level a Void Elf Mage
Unless BTH decides he wants to come back to WoW for the launch of Battle for Azeroth, I very well might NOT be going to Zandalar or Kul Tiras with the crowd on August 14th.
Kamalia et alia 
Wow, that list is huge. Do you really have to over-haul the online assignments; science hasn’t changed that much in the last year.
I’m joking!
I know you said “joking!” but I do, seriously, need to overhaul my online homework assignments. The body of scientific knowledge that is considered to be well-established and important enough that “all students who take general chemistry should know this” may not change very quickly, but my pedagogy should be continually improving.
When I first signed up with the online homework system that I’ve been using for the past few years, their tech support put together some assignments for me, which I gave a cursory review. It’s slowly become more and more apparent, however, that there’s not always very good alignment between the kinds of questions that are in the homework assignments and the kinds of questions that I put on my exams. I’ve also decided that instead of having one large assignment per whole chapter, I want to have multiple smaller assignments that are topic-focused, so that I can ask more homework questions total and more thought-requiring homework questions for each topic. So yeah, it’s time to go over my homework assignments with the proverbial fine-toothed comb.
Really good idea to divide the list this way. I have the Balance of Power quest line written down as something to go back and do when I’m level 120 and can maybe find a group to breeze through it, but maybe it’s best to give it an attempt now instead. I should start dividing my list too.
I want that Mage Toy and mount and such as well. But I have not played her in over a year, I’m so rusty!
I’d be interested to see what’s on your “must do before BfA launches; can wait until after BfA launches” lists 🙂
I think the hardest part of finishing the Broken Shore for me will probably be the Sentinax beacon quest. I could go queue up for the quest to do the last wing of Tomb of Sargeras in LFR easily enough… I just haven’t done it yet.
Me too, Kam! Can you make it for me? 😀 Kidding. I’ll share it once I get home and have access to my Word Document on it /pretends to be all serious and not messy at all. I also owe you that “Make me Laugh” screenshot.
Ah yes, I have read about that. It’s a shame, that content gets outdated and hard to complete so fast. I hope they revamp it once BfA comes around.
I still have so much to do that my poor brain is in a whirl with everything. I’ll get there but may not make it all the way through Legion before BfA drops. Plus, I’m also doing some of the alpha testing as well, so, my time is not totally limitless. 🙂
Sounds like you’re in a pretty similar place to me, then — except for the being in the alpha part 😛
