Here's a heads up if you are having issues accessing Chromie Time after you do the new introductory zone of Exile's Reach.
After you finish Exile's reach, you go to Stormwind. There you have the option of either taking a tour of Stormwind, or saying that you "already know your way around Stormwind".
If you take the tour option, you will be locked into the Battle for Azeroth starting quests. Chromie will not allow you to switch to a different expansion, saying that you have your hands full with Kul Tiras.
You will have to do the Battle for Azeroth starting quests until you get to Boralus. At that point, you can go back to Stormwind and talk to Chromie to switch expansions. I followed the BfA starting quests until the portal to Stormwind was unlocked, and then took that back.
To sum up, there are two paths if you want to access Chromie Time after Exile's Reach.
Path #1:
- Do Exile's Reach
- Take the tour of Stormwind
- Do the BfA intro quests until you get to Boralus
- Go back to Stormwind and talk to Chromie.
Path #2:
- Do Exile's Reach
- Decline the tour of Stormwind
- Talk to Chromie
Hmm. I just finished Exile's Reach on a new character about three hours ago. It was a Horde character and Exile's Reach finished with a wyvern ride to Orgrimmar. I was going to stop but the NPC was standing right in front of me with a ? over his head so I clicked on him pretty much without thinking.
ReplyDeleteThat took me into a quest for a tour around Orgrimmar but I didn't see any option to decline it by saying I already knew the place. Exile's Reach was quite buggy and i had to log in and out to clear one persistent bug. The game was also very laggy at points and I got disconnected twice. I wouldn't be surprised if I missed a section of quest dialog somewhere.
Also I have no Horde characters on that account at all so I guess the game could legitimately consider it impossible for me to "know my way around Orgrimmar" and therefore not give me the option. I'll try it on a new Alliance character later and see what happens there.

DeleteThe option to decline should have been here. Alliance-side, there was a dialogue option to say you already knew SW. So you either take the quest, or use the dialogue option to skip it.
