Elemental Invasion Has BegunFollow

Excellent. I'm sure they will need my help!

Awesome! Time to go kick some elemental butt!


(and here's hoping these events will be less detrimental to normal gameplay than the pre-wrath event was.)

I'm wondering if I can Spoilerkeep the Doomsday sign and wear it around at level 85.

That would be awesome.

Found that out as well.

I wanted to be an immigration officer, too.

The quest to begin killing the elementals is not live so you can't do it yet. I read something about using goggles so that you can see the elementals but that was on wowhead I believe.

I can't help you PentUp, but I can disprove some of what all the websites are saying;

You do not need to kill rifts of your own level to get the "Tripping the Rifts" achievement.

If this isn't intended, I can imagine it getting a hotfix, but I just got the achievement at 11/02/10 (that's 02/11/2010 for you Americanos) around 1 'o clock by killing only Outlands-based rifts.

Outlands seems to be the best place to get this Feat of Strength - you can teleport to Shattrath, fly to Terrokar for Air, Zangarmarsh for Water and Nagrand for Earth. The only real amount of effort involved is when you have to fly all the way over to Hellfire to get Fire. Since the portals spawn once per hour, just wait until the correct time before setting off to Terrokar (for me all portals spawned around 00:50), after which you should be able to get all elements in one go.

The quests to actually kill these rifts don't seem to be active yet, but I can pretty much confirm that you will most likely need to kill rifts of your own level to do these. From what I've seen the rifts are supposed to turn into devices required for these quests - they did so in Outlands, but I couldn't in any way interact with these devices.

So you can still get the achievement without needing to finish the quest line that's not available yet?

That's the one I meant. Well the only know I know associated with this event.

By the way, check out the model of Cho'Gall while you're doing the quest. Mousing over him makes the shadowy model get highlighted and more clear. It took me by surprise.

Apparently he fled to the south of Kalimdor after Warcraft II and hid out in AQ. I think a bit of C'Thun rubbed off on him. I now cannot help but think of an Eddie Izzard sketch when I see him, except with eyes instead of bees.

This link to wowhead has all the spawn points.

The time does seem to be random or at least not at the x:00.

I hope they expand and improve upon this (the undead pyramid invasion zones were way kewler plus there was loot) as I'm underwhelmed at the moment - I'm not flying all over heck's half acre just for an achievement and a 13g daily reward.

I think it's funny that: SpoilerThe doom sayers are predicting the end of Azeroth & we are trying to stop them from spreading their lies. When in reality we know the end is coming.
It's like the old D&D days when you read about a monster your character was fighting, but the DM wouldn't let you use that info because your character didn't have knowledge about that monster. You had to play your character.

Not sure if that was a spoiler, but I didn't want to take a chance.

What do you mean, "in reality we know the end is coming?" Is this because we know all the changes that are going to affect the world when Deathwing escapes by going to places like www.worldofwarcraft.com and viewing them. Or is there something I missed in game that tells us all this is going to happen?

If it's the first you can't really associate our characters knowledge in game with information happening out of game.
