For one of shards, you can jump and actually use Goblin Glider Kit which will let you cover a large distance making it all the way there.

If you're leveling with a friend, you can grab the shard and they can use the Swapblaster to swap you directly next to the drop off point! Then you can do the same for them.

A bit overcrowded but I didn't feel much time was wasted. Hopefully that's the same experience once it goes live.Comment by mabusgamingLet's get more stuff nerfed I guess.Comment by AitheneFingers crossed they've ensured spawn rates are really boosted for release.Comment by Zeratul37Last time all of us got funneled to the same area was during MoP launch, and even then that was split between Alliance and Horde. This time all of us are gonna be huddled together. I am not looking forward to that part.Comment by XuiCzeThey should totally make individual instances for the Helm of Domination.

Is the first quest in SW/Org? Or should we position ourselves outside of ICC?Comment by WizardCaT Legion had players separate into different scenarios to collect their Artifact weapon before choosing one of 4 zones, and Battle for Azeroth had players going through a solo scenario before choosing one of 6 different zones.

Shadowlands has no scenario and only 1 choice of zone.Comment by GaronjaHow about War Mode?
I remember reading something a while ago, that PvP was not enabled in the Maw Intro - is that a source of at least 10% free XP?
