Gonna start it by getting this over with: the bombing runs were freakin cool!:D
The thought of gear being so easy to get was kind of depressing to me, because it effectively devalued all the effort put in pre-expansion. But after playing, it's kind of nice to get some rewards and progression without putting in tons of farming or waiting till next week for another raid.
Leveling is suprisingly easier than I expected, 500k seemed somewhat daunting but it really doesn't feel that bad.
One thing I didn't like is when you upgrade to expansion, it's done by account rather than by char ala D2. It doesn't allow you to have one character as a level 60 twink on the same account as your level 70.
The installation was also very finicky for me, too.
Overall I'm happy so far. $40 on top of a monthly fee is kind of rape, but I suppose it's cheaper than most other hobbies out there.
Oh, and the launch was pretty smooth, considering how many people are all packed into HFP.
