What's Your Plan For MoP Launch?

[halabar]

Level Spriest and Hunter, farm and craft with other toons, and try to figure out what the new raid comp will be, to see if the spriest or hunter will be the first to raid.

[Levantine]

Just realised MoP activates at like 5pm my time. Perfect~~

Yeah I'll be nerding around on my Paladin first, then probably my priest. I figure by the time I'm done with those two I'll be able to level a panda without wanting to kill myself.

[halabar]

Also with the double rested xp of the pandas, I might consider race-changing the priest to panda, and letting her sit an gather rested xp while the hunter levels. Should allow for running most of the way with rested xp when I level the priest.

Be sure to at least create and log in with your panda so s/he can benefit from rested (even if 1.5 lvls of rested doesn't mean much for levels 1-5...)

I've been thinking I might wait on the monk until the guild completes the professions achievement so I can have BoA leggings to go with the rest of my leather BoAs.

[Levantine]

Ohh that's a good idea. Also, do Pandas still have the increased rested racial?

[Skye1013]

As far as I know, yes.

[Hrobertgar]

I envy a lot of you, as I had wanted to take at least one day off and power level, hopefully with guildees. However, I have a ton of stuff at work this week and maybe next too. I will log in at midnight, or as soon as I can anyway given server loads and get an experience bar on my toons, and do a few quick things and log without entering Panda till Tues after work.

I have other things going on Thurs and Fri evening, so I am not certain if I can even make 90 before Sunday. And I want to work in some time on a Panda Monk - may as well.

[halabar]

And that's strong enough that it's worth it to me to consider race-changing my main alt and letting that toon sit while I level my main, thus being able to level that second toon in half the time.

according to the battlenet MoP preview page, they still have it
so it would be 3 levels of double xp?

If I didn't hate the panda caster animations I'd be doing that for my priest who's my primary alt at the moment. Actually that reminds me, I should look into my Rogue and see how she compares since the big change, I can see her taking over my second toon slot since I'm pretty sure I'm still horrible at shadow.

[JoeBravo]

not much of 'a plan' here. just continuing my regular routine: work during the day, play wow in the evening.
Only thing I got planned is racechanging my new horde shaman main to pandaren asap.

[Andurin]

Took the day off. My plan for the day:
- Step in the train
- Travel for 2+ hours
- Get to a friend who works at the game shop where I ordered pandaland
- Go lunching with them
[Some time later]
- Laugh at servers being down or level paladin if they are not down ^^

Probably going to level my paladin first. Made all the preparations for him at least Just need to see if I change it race from dworf to human. Not to sure about that ^^

Oh man, I am so exhausted after all the driving this weekend. Really thankful that EU launch is at 6 pm our time cuz otherwise I think I'd be nose diving into bed long before a midnight launch. I think we'll be lucky to even crack 86 tonight!

What's the average leveling time to 90 anyway?

[Hespherus]

I took 3 days off, but starting from wednesday, thinking the game would release on the midnight from tuesday to wednesday...

So no real plans for today. Everyone in my team will be level 90 before ill even be 86 :/

I can't speak to average, but no-stops addon-assisted chain-questing is looking to be between 12 and 15 hours.

Hmmm is it just me or does that seem like less than Cataclysm?

[KysenMurrin]

I think it's pretty similar. I know it took me 17 hours, and I was behind realm firsts by a few hours.

[Treck]

Launch in 7 hours, time for some sleep, good night

Unless they change it, you earn 2.5 bars or so of rested XP per day. For the pandas, not sure if they are displaying the extra, or if it just lasts longer. If I do the race change, I'll let the priest sit for the first week at least, to maximize the xp (I believe you can save up 1.5 levels of rested xp, unless that too has changed).

May even wait to see if guild gets the achieve to unlock the new leg heirlooms (which I believe are the only ones that will work for 85-90).

[Dantriges]

Does dropping out of the game at launch time count as a plan?

[Bellanka]

Although probably too late for some ... clicky-quests are great for that little added boost.

I have all of the JC trinkets I never bothered making ready to click and turn in for 4 more quests, plus Onyxia's head for a tiny bit more. That's 30 quests right at launch when you count the TB, JC, Cooking and Fishing dailies.

[halabar]

Yes, as long as you don't write a diatribe about it..

[Holyblaze]

Rushing to grab the mining pick and praying to find it there. Then probably a good couple of hours of questing on my tankadin before going to bed, the real nerding will start at the end of the first day as I've booked off from Wednesday to Friday.

Mining Pick? The old one wont do any longer? Is it better? What is the name and I will look it up when I get off work.

[Worldie]

Real men have a army knife (that now gives +10 to gathering profs)

[Archeth]

Launch plans: Work on GW2 map completion, don't play WoW at least till rumours of the next expansion announcements show up.
