Zul-G

Last night was pretty amazing when it comes to tolerance levels.  You see i died maybe 10 times in ZulG and we only faced two bosses. 

But before we talk about the stupid deaths in ZulG, i just wanted to mention about my horrendous experience doing the chain quest leading up to it.  Sure, most of you probably had no issues going through the whole thing, but i wanted to bang my head on the table a few times.  first off, who was it? Mwumba wanted to escort me in spirit to STV.  sure, i pick up her quest and then proceeded to the ferry terminal.  erm... zepplin terminal.  Things were fine and dandy as i arrived.  there was the spirit of the troll chick standing next to me, a little over my left shoulder and in full size! well i was a little glad she was transparent.  but hey, if her spirit was with me, why couldnt she be a little smaller? or even just have the top portion of body showing?  that would be nice.  i mount up and began to fly when the zep landed.  turns out, she disappeared quickly after that.  i flew all the way to the camp where i was supposed to go, the one right outside ZulG's entrance.  I killed a bunch of serpents but could not, for the life of me, figure out how to re-summon the spirit troll chick.  sucks.  after many attemps and "inspecting" poisoned bodies with no effect, i began to wonder maybe i am missing something here.  i dropped the quest and tried again.  again i failed.  again, a reset and it still didnt work.  i then proceeded to hearth, then flew back to the original quest giver (hoping that maybe i can get some answers from the real person and not her spirit) but she would not mention the quest at all.  grrrrr.  So i flew back to STV and she returned!  omg nice! 

Then i walked off the boat onto the landing tower and she disappeared again.  wtf?  okay after walking down the stairs, she returned somehow.  okay?  blizz, this is stupid.  then she goes on and says the same two comments/questions over and over and over again.  somehow i wish i had not come back.  but there she was, asking the same questions. in any case, i was not taking any chances so i walked the whole way across the way, killing a few serpents and some crocs along the way.  after that, it was pretty smooth sailing as somehow, the spirit was able to fly with me when i mount up.  yay! 

until.  i got.  to the.  quest with nessingwary.  i went off to look for the panther and lo and behond, it found us!  took my npc dwarf (honestly, a dwarf? why am i helping him?) and ran away.  i proceeded to fly after it and figured out quite easily to follow the trail of smoke.  sure enough we found the panther sleeping, of all things.  aparently this is the second part of the bugged questchain because, instead of turning in the quest to pick up the next one, i killed the panther and started the RP.  so far so good, or so i thought.  then, i talked to the spirit chick and she told me to kill the panther. wtf? i just did. alas, i sat there and waited.  and waited. and waited some more.  finally, she respawned and i tried killing her again.  didnt work.  still no completion.  after the fifth respawn and various tries at redoing the quest, a guildie said to relog.  so i did, and it worked!

So i spent about an hour doing this chain quest that should have taken no more than 20 minutes.  maybe 15.  at least after that, i was able to complete the rest of the quests (saving the zombies, finding vol'jin) and pick up a couple for the ZulG instance.  oh and i was able to queue for that instance as well!  wait time for that dungeon was halved.  ZulG dungeon experience to come shortly...
