I get that they want to tell a new epic story with new characters or whatever but as someone who hasn’t been clued in to the story in WoW since Legion (and even then, I still didn’t really care), I found it so boring. I’m not interested in reading quest texts or watching cinematics.
I don’t see myself pushing through just to get to endgame, which I normally really enjoy. The gear grinding, mythic +'s, raids, pvp etc. All good stuff. For future expansions I’d like to see an Adventure mode that they offer to people who finish the campaign for the first time for their alts, but from the get go.
Maybe a big part of it too was that, everything feels incredibly easy. There’s no friction in the quests, like I just steamroll everything. The mobs fall over with the hundreds of thousands of damage I’m doing. So why even have them?
The irony of a poster with a classic andy avatar saying the 6 hour war within campaign takes too long.
Classic leveling is actually fun and engaging though. It feels earned.
It’s the complete opposite from what I’ve experienced in TWW
Troll spotted because you cant be serious lol
No it’s not.
Nothing is engaging about hunting Zhevra hooves in the barrens for six hours. That’s every classic quest barring maybe two or three dozen major questlines.
It does not. Its the same static leveling as it was 20 years ago. The only feeling you are getting is nostalgia.
because you disagree with me, i must be a troll?
The campaign takes 3 hours. Then you can just do dungeons if you want.
45 to 60 used to be dreadful. there is a point in those levels it seems quests dry up and you’re doing some old fashioned grinding on griffons. Brutal.
The devs have stated that the story is going to be a major focus for these coming expansions. The ability to choose the order of zones came from a time when they kept each zone as its own isolated storyline.
I don’t think they plan to go back to that style.
Thankfully for people that share your preferences, the main story quest line is the shortest we’ve ever seen.
But I want to do dungeons from the start. Or, at least have the option to. I’m not interested in a 3 hour campaign or 30 hour campaign. That’s my point.
Sounds like you’re going to have to earn it.
By… suffering through a boring story that I don’t care about? Sounds really unfun, no thanks
Bro the campaign is so short this time around. It’s literally three chapters per zone. It’s not asking that much lol
Agreed, this should be available. Folks are not being allowed to play how they wish, but how Blizz is telling them to play until they allow you to do otherwise. If a few friends want to group up and do a few instances they shouldn’t be blocked.
When I go to a theme park, I may wait in line, but I choose the line.
Why should it ask that of me at all? Why not offer other options, as they’ve done before?
No because theres no way a classic player is complaining about needing to do something that takes a (comparitively to classic) a short amount of time.
Like the irony holy moly. This just has to be engagement bait.
Finally, some sense. Good to know it can exist here. Sometimes.
It really doesn’t but okay.
