Good evening everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic Friday! I have been feeling extremely down today, I hate it when I feel like this as its just such a powerful feeling and completely ruins my day. It happens every once in a while, everything just feels overwhelming and like the entire world is crushing me. Usually a good nights sleep works wonders and I wake up feeling like a new person. Mental health is something I have had issues with for some time now.
Tonight I finished up the Maldraxxus zone and started up in Ardenweald. I've got to say, Maldraxxus felt a lot smaller and shorter than Bastion. I'll be able to confirm this soon as I have been levelling several characters to figure out the best routes in each zone and timing the runs. I'll be so surprised if Maldraxxus isn't at least 30 minutes quicker to level in. I am basing this also on how many levels I gained while in Bastion. I was 55 when I left Bastion and just reached 57 after doing 2 or 3 chapters in Ardenweald.

I have just looked through my screenshots folder and forgot to take some new shots in Maldraxxus (i'm sorry!), i'll be sure to take plenty more on my next clear of the zone. One thing that I really liked was that I got to revisit the Maw when I thought Maldraxxus was completed, that was not the case. I finished up a few quests in there which I feel need a little bit more work then returned to Maldraxxus for the final show down sort of deal. We met some characters from the past and rescued a new one which was quite awesome to see so i'm curious to see if anything similar will happen in Ardenweald and the final zone I am yet to visit.

From the experience I've had so far in the beta, it is safe to say that I am extremely excited for the Shadowlands launch, more than I was for Battle for Azeroth. The new zones just feel great to play in and I am looking forward to stepping in to the new dungeons. I might leave the dungeons as a surprise for the launch and not enter any on the beta. I encountered a couple of bugs that seem to occur when playing as a group. Quests that require you to ride on a mount or fly with the NPC's seems to work for one of us and not the other, it can be a bit annoying due to having to abandon and start again while hoping it works.

I'm going to take a step away from the beta and watch a movie with my partner. Tonight's choice is "Everest", I remember this one being extremely popular when I worked at the cinema some time ago. Hopefully it is good as we have a bit of bad luck when picking movies!
Have a lovely weekend everyone, keep safe and I hope you all have something exciting going on. I'll see you all on Monday with more beta and other game adventures.
