even take the evacuation portal, an elemental came inside and 2-shotted me

Meanwhile, Nika is trapped in Ironforge due to the flight master AND the tram being closed, and hearthstone on cool down

What the heck is this elemental invasion? I am so out of the WoW loop

Hide!

crap!

Dozens and dozens and dozens of elementals spawn in 2 capitol cites on each side, horde/ally

Babz: intro to Cataclysm not fun every couple hours to have SW and IF shut down.

lvl 80 raiders go about killing them and freeing residents trapped in ice.

Was however fun to run about in a huge raid group killing them.

the first time.

In SW, its water and wind elementals. In IF, its Earth and Fire elementals.

the city completely shuts down. The AH, Bank, mailboxes, vendors, trainers, everything is gone until the elemental invasion is over.

isle: Its getting a little old now though.

Yeah on my server, people are bored with it so they don't defend, which means the city is permanently stuck on a 1 hour off/1 hour on cycle

(Because it lasts 1 hour if the rifts aren't closed)

I hope this doesn't go all the way to the Cat release. One week is quite enough.

I heard rumors that the next phase will begin Tuesday, so maybe this one will end

Sounds like.... fun lol
