Boring forced RP story time

Community General Discussion

What a snooze fest.
Made it to 54 and was bored as hell the whole way there.

I play this game to kill things with my spells not listen to story’s for hours on end.

Catering heavily to pve story time Andy’s with this expansion, meanwhile casual pvp players are scewed yet again…that whole " we want to reach every type of player " thing is not really working out.

Just my 2cents.

Not saying the expansion is terrible. Just my current gripes.

This wouldn’t be so bad but the story isn’t interesting and it is apparent that they are trying to draw a lot of quests out.

  1. It’s an RPG. Leveling has literally always been like this.
  2. You’ve been fighting a bunch of things. Hell, you fought your way out of the Maw in the very first questline.
  3. PVP has never been the center of leveling (this is coming from someone who prefers PVP to PVE)

If you are unhappy with the way things are (and have always been), do yourself a favor and unsub

This isn’t meant to be a flame against any of you, but you should all keep in mind that WoW really is a story-based role-playing game. Fleshed-out characters, world environments, and lore in general are integral elements; this is completely intentional. Of course, many of us might consider it a poor attempt at such…but that is the intent, and was from the game’s introduction sixteen years ago.

Now this is an attitude I disagree with. People are allowed to voice their concerns on a public forum meant for the purpose of discussion, without being told to ‘go away’.

Is the mix between killing and stuff and story bad?
I don’t mind storytime but not 24/7 lmao.

There’s plenty of killing. Sometimes it’s nice not to have to spam frost bolt over and over. Get over yourself

I do think they could have integrated the storytelling into the gameplay better - as opposed to basically halting the pace for exposition, but I don’t think having exposition in itself is a bad thing.

Even RP events can be fun, if there’s a lot going on in them, or just a lot of NPCs to talk to / stuff to explore while they tell you about stuff. It is pretty dreadful to have your pace grind to a crawl for some pretty heavy-handed exposition, however…

Well it is mainly a pve game and with it being an mmorpg they are trying to add back some rpg elements to the game .

PvP may be more of an end game thing with the expansion .Basically once you hit max and pick a covenant the new pvp gear rewards will kick in.

So many people complain about being “forced” to RP, forced to PvP, forced to PvE, forced to group up.

Do they not know what an MMORPG? Sorry, but it’s a little bit of everything.
