Personally I think shadowlands so far is a 5.5-6. The visuals are great, but the game is killing it for me as the classes still feel cheap. Everything feels like like fast food. There’s nothing wholesome about the classes and how
They play. Particularly the spell animations for the range classes. Warlocks are terrible they need to have their old shadow bolt spell given back to them, the same with the mages frost bolt. There’s no omph anymore to them. Shadowlands was supposed to be the expansion where blizzard fixed the classes was it not?!? That’s why we didn’t get a new race or class. Instead we just got some of our old abilities back with broken classes. Blizzard needs to model the classes off the first 3 expansions. The classes felt whole.
It would be a 10 if it came out in Legion’s place. But it’s that same formula a third time, so I’ll give it a begrudgingly high 2.
its a 7 for me it aint bad but it isnt anything out of this world, the core things that i like are still there and still fun m+ and raids.
Something between -98644 and -97321.
A solid 6/10.
3/10
I love the new leveling system… and that’s it lol
given how much I hated WoD and it’s still a better expansion than SL I’d say 1/10 and that’s being generous.
Unfortunately I have give it a 3/10. And that is being generous. The Valor updates feel like they were designed just to quiet the people asking for justice/valor vendors back. Korthia is… Korthia. They’ve completely ignored the complaints about the Tyrannical affix and just doubled down on it. The story is meh at best. Class balance is an absolute nightmare hinged upon the fickle desires of what Covenants the devs want to mess with each month. Many of the new raid bosses are… HP sponges. The two big ones in my mind are the Eye and the Nine. The Nine is the worst, spend the first half of the fight running around like a chicken without a head trying to dodge the near constant stream of mechanics only to get to the second half where you can pretty much stand in one spot and wail on the boss without a care in the world. And this isn’t even touching on the what… we’re at 14 currencies at least and it is only 9.1?
Probably a 3.5/10. Just for reference I would give TBC a 7.5/10, MoP a 9/10 and BfA a 6/10
Stingy loot failed valor system making alts worse in 9.1 with valor upgrading and systems overload is annoying so maybe a 3. And dont just add special gear in raids it’s not the only gearing system.
can’t rate til it’s over…
but so far, I think it’s alright. Story is very bad, systems are bad, the dev control over the player is bad, the world doesn’t feel alive, and there’s very little content.
but from the content that I do play, it’s very well done imo. I like the new raid (from what I’ve played and seen), and mythic+ is fun. PvP is also fun, but unfortunately boosters ruined the experience for me this expansion.
Overall I’d say the game is comparable to WoD so far. I’m Optimistic though, I truly believe it’ll get better when/if they add tier sets, go back to simpler design and use their imaginations more.
Pretty much 3/10. I like some of the transmogs and mounts but everything else is kinda bad. Mostly Korthia and the Wow token p2w crap. Wanted to get into raiding again but it’s so overwhelming to do all the systems i’m just moving on. also moving on from TBC because of boosts ruining the game as well as the changed community
0/10 - Good game.
Whatever number is worse than WoD and BFA.
I think its systems make it unredeemable.
I’m hoping next xpac changes course, but with the current turmoil who knows what we’ll get.
I would have to give it a 4/10 so far because of the slow release of 9.1 and most of the new systems in shadowlands seem unpolished.
For example most of the conduits are slight bonuses to skills and don’t significantly change gameplay, and the covenant system is too restrictive. The shards of domination also feel pretty rushed this patch and have some pretty obvious problems that need addressing like being able to accidentally delete them. I could go on but these problems are already covered in other threads.
On a positive note I’ve liked the raids, dungeons, and torghast is getting better.
I think if the internal problems at blizzard get solved and shadowlands makes it to 9.3, we could have a good expansion by then. I would like them to focus on the systems they currently have in the game and polish them up instead of adding any new systems.
I’d /roll 10, but whatever answer it gave would be far too generous.
BFA 4/10.
SL -5/10
let’s see what lies they will say next.
Everything after WoD gets a 5 
Why? Because they are all scaling xpacs
Generous 5/10.
Honestly initially I gave it an 8/10, but with how arbitrarily frustrating things are becoming for no reason what-so-ever I’ll now give it a 2/10. Conduit energy is unnecessary, covenant switching shouldn’t take so long, and catch-ups should be far more accessible for both alts and returning players. At this point you’re just throttled because Blizzard thinks its funny, not because it serves a particular purpose.
