There are tons of Sha. /understatement

Existing NPCs are Sha-corrupted - no exceptions that I've seen thus far, other than the original rare spawns.

Image

The lake is completely drained.

The servers keep going down, but I finally made it to the west part of the zone. Beyond the lake, things still appear normal, so the corruption is contained to the east.

Poop, I really need to get my butt down to track all those daily bosses and farm Alani crystals, then... oh well, I guess I'd better start now.

The daily bosses will still be around.

To quote myself from the other thread:
Kalliope wrote:PSA Regarding the Golden Lotus Quest Mobs

You know that achievement that requires killing certain bosses in the Vale? They appear to be rare spawns in 5.4, so that will still be available.
Vicejaw, for one, is Sha-corrupted!

What about the other achis? The ones that require you to do certain (randomly available) quests? (I'm looking at you, Roll Club >.> )

That I don't know; didn't make it that far across the Vale due to d/cs. :/ Probably a good idea to work on those, just in case. My guess is that there will be an NPC who'll let you onto the wall...just a guess, though.

I imagine Portent is getting sick of this !@#$.

Although Alana is like "Pfft, I aint even mad."

Edit: That being said, while I understand why the zone got devastated, I hope it gets repaired to some degree afterwards. Something this devastating may prevent it from reaching its former glory, but it was such a pretty zone to lose forever.

I wonder if Taran Zhu is going to butcher up Sunwalker Dezco into steaks and ground beef for talking him into letting the Horde stay in the Vale.

On another note, are the Horde and Alliance "city" bases also gone? Or should we start planning to bind our hearthstones somewhere else?

I try to avoid doing that one.. It's annoying and takes so much longer.
