Playable Lizards
please
What they really need are larger zones, like a Kalimdor sized zone. They need to make something like Kalimdor, block of half of it with some AQ style opening, gather all the resources, beat the raid boss and the next half opens.
What we have now, including the new 9.1 zone, is just too small and thatâs half the problem, they put too much to do into a too little space and it feels really cluttered. Itâs what I miss from Classic the most, the openess, the freedom, the exploration.
You forgot to mention grinding.

Neither of them, they would get far more positive outcomes from setting up existing classes to work without any borrowed power.
If covid and WFH are affecting 9.1 development and delaying patch releases, imagine the impact on 10.x development.
Blizzard is either going to pull a WoD and leave out much more stuff they had planned for later Shadowlands patches or 10.x is going to be delayed past the usual 2-year xpac cycle. My prediction, this day 5/15/21.
During BFA I was expecting SL to be great.
10.0? expectations are very lowâŚ

They will mostly triple the systems and grinds compared to what we have now. 20 different currencies each patch. And they definitely will prune Classes again. Sadism is their mandate. Has been for years.

I agree with everything except the rye. I like mine on a Keiser roll.

Oh please. Blizurd canât balance what they have now. Donât put more on their plate.
At this point I actually hope Shadowlands is WOD 2.0. If that gives them time to make expansion 10.0 as good as Legion I will sacrifice this expansion.
It would make sense to end in 9.2 anyways. In 9.1 we conquer the Maw, defeat the Mawsworn, the rogues gallery is kaput, all thatâs left is the Jailer flying off into space and Malâganis putzing about. They could give Malâganis and his Dreadlords a full tier, but honestly, to me it makes sense to just have 9.2 be the final decisive battle and then launch into 10.0 afterward. People talking about Brokerland or In-Between and all this and Iâm just thinking, narratively, what does that do? This isnât a situation like WoD where there is a gap to be bridged in order to turn Grommash around from villain to hero. Thereâs no reason not to go into the end-game as far as Iâm concerned.
Weâll have to see though. I mean we really have no idea what Blizzard wants to do with this expansion. They claim that the plot âhas no detoursâ and thatâs why theyâre not doing mini-raids, weâll really have to see.
Many of us have our reasons for disliking Shadowlands, our own grievances. Blizz definitely wonât be able to satisfy them all no matter what they do. Iâm pretty much along for any story they want to tell. Iâve loved every bit of it, a lot of it probably to do with their top knotch cinematics. But, what I absolutely refuse to put up with anymore, is anything even remotely like an 5 month long Anima grind for cosmetics that takes away the ability to play alts or other games besides WoW. Iâd still continue paying my sub even if Iâm not required to be in the game 24/7 to accomplish my personal goals. But, I wonât continue paying a sub if Iâm required to be in game 24/7 at the expense of doing other things I enjoy. I literally feel like I wasted months of my life because of Anima, and I never felt that way beforeâŚprobably because it was 1) fun and 2) reasonable. The Anima grind is neither. And, Iâm done with WoW if thatâs the kind of thing they insist on doing. I donât care about âoh, youâll get more Anima laterâ arguments. Iâm never playing through a system like that again.

Lol this is an old tired argument⌠So what your saying is, Blizz should never add anything new because YOU donât like how its balanced now? OkayâŚ

Delete DHs, mythic plus, CRZ, convoke, covenants, conduits, the Maw, vulpera, scaling, twisted corridors and Mortregar, LFR, Seething shore, Wintergrasp, Suramar, streamers, RIO, blood and void elves, arena, botters, hackers, multiboxers, pathfinder, SoTS, DoS, all of blackrock.
Add: Death knight buffs, warlock meta, bigger world zones, more loot drops, no flight in WM, player housing, tinkerers, bards, improve professions, class uniqueness (make mage portals important again).
The guy who made a class so fun that the devs admitted that they started dismantling it piece by piece because too many people played it.
This guy should be in charge of class design.

Enjoyable content, less systems, and a rewarding gameplay experience. They have had such a difficult time making their game worth logging in to lately, and the tedious systems make many people log off relatively quickly that I donât want more classes, or zones, or⌠systems. I just want a game that I look forward to logging into again.
No more systems or microgrinds would be a good start, and less work on the devs. A new class, though a balancing nightmare, is always welcome. Flying should be achievable from day 1. World overhauls to reflect all the changes that have been made in lore since Cataclysm would be nice. Also kill factions outside of war mode, because cutting your player base, which isnât growing any longer, in half is a terrible idea.

Ion and his team are 100% committed to proving their systems approach is the correct approach.
That is why their takeaway from BfA was âwe should have released every system at the same timeâ instead of âtoo many systems ruin the fun.â
That is why we have Systemlands, which anyone can see has been a development nightmare and has received nearly unanimous criticism for its system bloat.
That is why even though Ion gets asked about easing up on systems every time heâs interviewed, his answer is always ânah 
â.
They have so much riding on being ârightâ and that will not change. Itâs not logical, itâs emotional.
