Its always so interesting to see people experience this for the first time, it actually highligts how bad the new player experience is 🙁 Its really hard to figure everything out if you never interacted with the game before and the leveling experience is boring. The saddest part is that the game is good at max level and I would bet a ton of people dont get to experience that because of how bad the game is to that point … If you want a more straight forward experience and a better one in many ways, especially for a first time player but in general as well, try the classic version of the game, that is also where all the streamers and community driven experiences are. big kiss mate
So interesting to see someone interact with this game that never did it before. Unfortunately it highlights how bad the new player experience is :< The saddest part is that a ton of new people quit beceuase of this, rightly so. It is worth it to go through the pain tho, if you ask me. But if you want a simpler more straight forward and in many ways better experience, especially for a new player but in general as well, give the classic version a try (classic era or cataclysm, but i would go with era). That is also where all the streamers and comunity based events and activities are. Would also probably make for a much more interesting watch 🙂 PS important tip, the horseshoe thing in the down right corner, look for your mount there, much faster to use that, drag it down to your action bars
Blizzard needs to have someone on their team watching this series! Full non edited first time player experience in modern WoW… a rarity that WoW needs more of to continue being a beloved game for millions of players for the next 30 years.
And blizzard can learn a lot from observing the shortcomings in the first hour of gameplay. (obviously they probably know a lot already and it‘s just hard to make it all super easy to understand) but still 🙂
Hello! Here are some tips to help you in your journey:
1. You can press b to open up all your bags at once instead of just clicking on each individual ones. Also if you get new bags, you can swap out your old ones by dragging the new bags onto the slots in the bottom right. The far left bag slot is reserved for Reagent bags which are used to hold crafting materials. Also save your old bags because you can put them into your bank as extra storage to hold more items
2. As a Fury warrior, you can actually wield 2 two-handed weapons and you can swap whatever specialization you want by pressing N and then going to specializations and activate whichever one you want to use. You can do it anywhere at any time as long as you’re not in combat
3. If you press Shift P, you’ll open up your mount journal which is where your gryphon is. You can drag it onto one of your ability bars to summon it
4. You can press escape and go to edit mode if you want to customize your UI to your liking
5. I recommend going into the options and enabling “auto loot” so that whenever you loot an enemy you’ll automatically pick up every item instead of having to manually click on every item (why that isn’t default baffles me)
6. If you’re ever lost and have a question to ask, you can always ask in-game through the newcomer chat channel which is designed to let new players ask veteran players for tips. Some people will be more helpful than others
