Dragonflight started off great, but is quickly becoming BFA level bad

Story is great, but all the rest of the content from this patch is terrible.

  • Currency bricks that aren’t on currency tab

  • No new PVP content

  • Zaralek/Forbidden Reach are terrible. Dumb hard elite WQ zone that shoots you down so no flying. No players are ever doing the elite WQs, so impossible to complete them solo. The entire place is 100% pointless, and Forbidden Reach was relevant for what, 2 days?

  • LFR queue times are several hours long. Why no 10m LFR?

  • Legacy content still impossible. Why can’t we solo BFA in regular old gear ?

  • M+ affixes are literally insane, like not fun, don’t add anything… just bad.

I’m super disappointed

None of those things are significant enough to make this expansion as bad as BFA. They are a list of the things you dislike vs. the significant design flaws present in early BFA.

For example, you included bricks going into your bag instead of your currency tab…which is a mild inconvenience at best. That’s nothing compared to the disaster of azerite gear.

The Caverns are garbage. Blizzard killed Forbidden Reach for this garbage.

  1. Weird thing to complain about
  2. Yeah that’s a bummer, but also a given. PVP content is not a forefront feature that they’re actively providing content for.
  3. Zaralek sucks, but FR has been great. I’ll be using that 424 ring for a minute. If you can’t find people, go into the custom groups area and look for a group.
  4. Uhhh my LFR queue times were 8-15 minutes as DPS last night so not sure where you’re experiencing this long of queue times
  5. That’s on their list

raid is great, M+ is great, new gearing and crest system good so far. sound like you just want a game with easy world content and nothing els maybe try out more of what the season has to offer before you try and flame based your very small view from the content you are choosing to do

Why is this weird to complain about? They keep introducing so many crazy currencies THAT AREN’T ON THE CURRENCY PANE. Just STOP IT. My GOD. It’s annoying.

It said 129 min queue Area 52 horde as a healer/dps queue yesterday for any LFR. Goblin has made LFR queue unbearably long

Totally false. How many times have they dismissed and said it’s not an issue?

Are you sure that you are queuing for the correct raid? The new one is never that long.

That’s a you problem. I have no issue soloing old content. They just need to change a couple of the MC mechanics and it’ll be a breeze. You can already solo Nyalotha and even Castle Nathria.

I actually really liked BFA.

I would say that 10.0 was okay to good. Not great but not bad either.
10.1 is worse than shadowlands. Which is pretty impressive really.

Hopefully they step their game up for 10.2 or else this expansion is looking like a fail.
Ive already lost all motivation to play dragonflight content. Im just doing old stuff and the diablo event.

Oh the humanity…

Standard.

Subjective

Somehow I managed to fly through there without getting shot down easily enough.

I managed easily enough to solo them.

Because LFR is trash and no-one does it.

I thought BFA started off poopy but ended on a strong note. I loved Season 4 BFA with corruption.

Wait what?

The main story is the biggest issue with DF. It’s dull and has no hook. I’d have to label it as the worst introductory expansion story in WoW so far.

Some quests are nice though. Blue dragonflight stories are well-built.

That’s oddly specific. I have more an issue with the place having 4 different currencies period. The fact they all go into your bag instead of currency tab is just a minor detail about them.

Haven’t PvP’d seriously since WoD so I got no comment on that. Sounds terrible though.

That’s a hot lie. Forbidden Reach always has activity most of the time. Zaralek is pretty empty though.

That hot lie nearly burned me.

Again oddly specific. Yeah it’s annoy but you hate BFA, why are you trying to go back to it?

Another lie. It’s not insane. It just requires you to have some CC and situational awareness. Aside from the errant spawn in a place no one can see. But I’ve only seen that happen once.

  1. Nobody cares about currency.
  2. Nobody cares about new pvp content. We’ve got tons.
  3. It’s your opinion.
  4. My LFR queues are 30 mins at most. Not sure what you’re doing.
  5. You’ll get to do that content eventually. I might take another expansion. Something to look forward to.
  6. Don’t play them.

Seriously, these concerns are trivial at best. Why are you still playing WoW? Go play Path of Exile or League of Legends. Don’t be miserable playing a game you don’t like.

Annoying for sure but nothing new

Pvp in this game is a mummified corpse at this point and has been for a while now, if you want pvp go find it in another game

I would love it if the devs would move away from this method of releasing content, it just creates these pockets of dead game area and spreads the players out. Instead increase the density of content in the zones you already have. But that’s all subject to opinion

Blizzard can’t make people role needed classes and they can’t force players to queue. Join a guild or a community and take agency over your own matchmaking.

Some people can, sounds like a you problem

I don’t think the affixes are really that bad honestly.

Yeah see this energy over something minor is slightly concerning lmao. Maybe you need a break.

I queued for first wing of Aberrus and queued for last wing of Vault…both queues were 10 minutes long even as DPS. You’re either playing at extremely weird times or queueing for a wing no one cares about.

It’s been talked about. Being on a list doesn’t mean they will chronologically get to it…it means it’s something they will get to when there’s time lol.

Game is back to its old grinding habits…the caverns being garbage is just icing on that

I still liked BFA more than SL.
Forbidden reach was fun when people were doing it. I fully geared an alt and enjoyed having something casual and rewarding to do between queues.

You make good points, though DF is still my favorite xpac to date.

“BFA is bad!!”
Followed by…
“Why cant I solo BFA!!”

Anyway, I liked BFA.

Top tier raiders/M+ runners are continuing to use the 424 ring, I think blizz made it better than they wanted it to be
