DragonFlight!!! Lets Goooooo!!!!!!

Oops... 2 weeks later sorry!
Like all these lately, I meant to get this out sooner. And I won't lie, I forgot everything I wanted to really talk about. I've been going through my screenshots and although I have a bunch, I have nothing of substance that will contribute to this Dragonflight entry really. I have a bunch of random ones that can fill my "Screenshot-a-Day" page to the point of having so much that I have to post 2 screenies a day now. But I love it so its ok.

Ok so first, Monday November 28th came launch date and 3pm for PST. I made it home from clinicals in time and was ready for this shit. Like we all expected the boat point to Dragon Isles was crammed packed with mounts on the zepplin tower. The timer was ticking down and the boat never came. Lols! the timer reset and we waited another 5 minutes. I flew away from the dock while I waited and got on the boat from the top. I'ma stay away from all these crazy ass people! I mean, I am one of the crazies so wtf am I talking about. 
So that was the intro into the isle.

I didn't level to max in the usual time that I normally can, clinicals is crampin my style for reals. I would usually request off from work for a week, sometimes two, JUST for an expac release. And I was kinda disappointed that I didn't level in one sitting to be honest. Something else different I did this time around was I actually levelled through questing AND dungeons. I mean aside from alt levelling, I don't believe I've gone into a dungeon in a new expansion. Don't quote me on that but I'm pretty sure that is an accurate statement. I loved it though. Made the 70 gear grind easier. Needless to say 70 came on the 30th, 2 days later... that's not acceptable!

Now the dragon riding!
like everything I do for the first time, I'm always like "meh, I don't like this". I wasn't getting used to it and I couldn't drive my dragon for beans seriously. Doing the races around the isle makes learning to ride easy. I'm not a pro at it of course, but I understand it a little better. When I can complete all the courses at gold, then I'll consider myself a pro! I really don't think that will ever happen tho. This is my favorite dragon I made. Technically not a unicorn, cuz he has other horns on his head... but the one popping out the middle of his head makes him a unicorn in my book. BLUE UNICORN DRAGON!!!!
My favorite dragons are the Azure Dragonflight. A bit has to do with my wow crush in Kalec. Let me rephrase that, OLD Kalec. The new model is a serious boner killer for me lol. I don't know, I just don't like it very much. Give me my old Kalec model back. My Cata Kalec I used to visit all the time while running DragonSoul for my 3 mounts! But I totally understand they have to update the model features, but still... Poops!
So I like the fact that there are so much quests, and I've always loved faction grinds but I do feel so overwhelmed. There's so much stuff that I want and you need rep in order to buy from renowned quartermasters, I don't even know where to start. Ahh but the grind will happen here soon enough. I really haven't started on that because getting my taste of high IL gear in Shadowlands and me wanting to not waste time capping gear for the week is putting my focus on not really questing.
After getting all my 359 gear from Heroics and feeling comfortable to do Mythics, sure as shit I was right there finding a premade group. Now mind you I did have a guild, that I mentioned in the previous post, however they were not running mythics at the time so I went out on my own. Stuff happened I won't get into but lets just say I'm super impulsive and little things will set me off to play solo again. I don't need others to have fun (I'll keep telling myself that), I don't need a guild to get gear, I don't need a guild to funnel me gear, I don't need a guild to carry me, I can play by myself obviously. Previously, I needed help, but my big girl panties are on now, and I completed my DF Mythic dungeon achieve all by myself (well with a pug group of course). I'll find another guild just for the social aspect I guess. There was a couple guilds I saw that were small so I might make a decision then. Alright enough of all that.
Hmm let's see what else... I'm happy our quest logs are getting 10 more added, I'm excited to start keys next week, I'm excited about raids starting as well, but sad that LFR isn't dropping until later tho. And I think that's about it for now. I know, like always that I missed some things I've done but that's all I can think about right now.
OK OK BYE!!!
