Is this supposed to be the new player experience? Isn't this supposed to be what gets people into the game? She was having fun and then hit this wall and almost quit over it.

Some things we've run into:

• If you leave the lorewalking book and come back it puts you in the old phased version of Dalaran with no explanation what to do. You're just expected to know to talk to him to phase back into the intro quest.
• The first boss as part of the Dalaran campaign before it crashes is way overtuned. I had to go and catch up to her to help her kill it and it was one shotting her voidwalker and doing half her HP.
• Quests just randomly stop appearing in your quest log sometimes and you have to relog to get them to come back. You have them, they're "active", and you can do them and turn them in but there's nothing to track them.
• If you fly too close to the Tome of History in Dornogol you'll get pulled into it as if you're at the version where your character is actually standing in lorewalking. You'll be stuck there. The only way to fix it is to leave Lorewalking entirely and come back.
• Doesn't help that you can't even queue into this together and party sync doesn't work. You just have to manually get to the same point and if you're in a party it just errors out silently with no explanation.

For something that's intended to be helping ease new players into the current story it does a very poor job. I'm gonna do the whole thing because there's a unique decor reward at the end so why not. Lets see how bad this gets.
