This expac just keeps getting worse and worse. I just can’t understand how these devs think we won’t notice that they are just recycling the same skins, the same mechanics, the same stupid story over and over since Vanilla. Who put these people in charge? It’s embarrassing at this point.
Our intro into the next chapter is a borrowed power ring, an azerite island filled with old assets, and the exact same world quests and mechanics we’ve seen since day one? Really, Bliz? This is what you do with the millions you make off our subs and 90 dollar mounts? Really?
We don’t need another Azerite island, or another artifact. We need:
New mechanics, new playstyles, new, interesting zones (destructible buildings, housing, defense towers, etc.), PVP gear scaling to equal power in all situations including in non-rated bgs, restoration and re-use of old zones (barrens, etc.) NOT creation of another mechagon island, mounts with abilities and battle capabilities, CLASS BALANCE, bug fixes, lag fixes, dyes for transmogs and more transmogs, transmoging for all weapon types regardless of class, barber shop and race model updates (new skins, better graphics, better hands, etc.), better allied races (Ogre, anything but a stone dwarf), NEW battlegrounds and arenas with new mechanics and arena types, and SO MUCH MORE.
There are so many things you could be doing to make the game fun and engaging but instead all you do is regurgitate the same boring low-effort crap expansion after expansion, while still being incompetent with your game balance. It’s unreal. Haven’t you learned your lesson yet with all the complaints and failures since Legion? This truly is an abusive relationship at this point.
I played the PTR and it was so dull I’m almost read to unsubscribe purely based on the low effort put into that ridiculous island. I had hopes for a WoW revival and resurgence, for class balance, for new and exciting things, for fair and balanced PVP, and for a reason to care about anything PVE - but I guess not.
And by the way, why did you wholesale abandon everything good about Shadowlands, like cool changes to abilities via legendaries and also conquest boxes, if you aren’t going to replace it with something equally interesting? I know SL was overall bad, but I feel like TWW is actually a step BACK from that expansion. Delves are just worse, duller versions of Torghast, for example. Are you incapable of keeping the things people like, and removing what they hate, without injecting your own left-field ideas or ruining the point of it all? I’d love to see new powers and modifications to powers like SL, if done right without borrowed power, and I’d love to see challenges like Torghast or some sort of assaults or towers, but instead we get a boring “hero” tree that is mostly passives, a garbage story and zones, and now yet another mechagon island that was previously undiscovered and has magically appeared so that we can wander around it and kill the same skin of the same mob we’ve seen ten billion times to collect another pointless currency to upgrade another artifact. And in your video you seem… excited, proud of this? Huh?
Please, for the love of god, listen to your players, implement what they suggest, and go back through all of the expansions and look at what worked and what didn’t and then just do THAT. Stop trying to reskin the same garbage (only worse and more dull) and sell it to us, because I don’t want it.
We don’t need artifacts or 90 dollar mounts or artifacts or re-hashed content; we need a game that is balanced, and isn’t eye-bleeding boring.
I used to love WoW, but at this point I’m logging in to get conquest cap, then logging out for the week. It’s that bad. Do better, Bliz.
