TL;DR: difficulty getting hyped, what hypes YOU up about SL?
What exciting new things you guys are looking forward to? For some reason I find it difficult to want to play Shadowlands, probably the first time in over 12 years I cannot find any motivation to start a new expansion.
It’s not that my class is doing poorly or anything of the sort, Im simply not excited for any of it, but my friends expect me to help them push arenas, achieve high IO and raid a bit with them, it is expected of me, though it feels like SL will be more of the same…
Raids look really cool.
PvP changes are exciting even though gearing still needs work.
Covenant and soulbind system has changed quite a bit and though not perfect, are interesting.
Normal expansion stuff is always fun. (New leveling experience, zones, art, monsters, mounts, pets, music, etc…)
Elemental feels good again, and quite a few other classes feel fun. I’m having a hard time deciding what to play first after my main.
Oh yeah, and Torghast. I’m looking forward to seeing how far I can get in there with my wife, and solo as well as with small guild groups.

I’m going to hug so many Shadowlands residents. I think they need one.
I’m hyped for the fact that it wont be BFA anymore.
I think the start of it will feel like work since half of playing WoW for me now is selling mythic+ carries with friends and selling duelist titles, my main hope is that dungeons feel good to run, and PvP doesnt rely on raiding gear too too much.
The other content like covenant and thorgast are a means to an end to get to legendaries and couduits I heard, but if all is balanced well and enjoyable then im sure I might like it.
I enjoy playing WoW in general, so the new content has me super hyped!
Also, the mogs, raids, and legendaries all look awesome!
Time to go save the world AGAIN!!!

If it feels like work, maybe re-evaluate? Seriously though. Don’t feel forced to do something you don’t enjoy. From my own perspective, doing that makes it hard to ever enjoy the new stuff if you’re just powering through everything and ignoring everything except gearing as fast as possible to start carrying people.
I’ll be leveling with my wife, and starting runs with my guild to get ready for the first raid once everyone’s leveled and ready. I’m pretty stoked.

I heard that SL has the best sales record in a long time so Im just happy so many people including IRL friends are coming back to at least play some of it, Im most likely getting caught up in the logistics and failing to see the potential for an RPG, it is after all what I started playing this game for, fitting a role and identity in this big virtual world. I will heed your advice.

I don’t know how anyone can look at the dracula raid and not be excited, regardless of any reservations they may have about the expansion itself.
The entire aesthetics and design of every zone in Shadowlands looks incredible. I’m very interested in seeing where the story goes. Despite how mediocre BfA’s story was, there is a sense of allure with Sylvanas and what she’s doing. Even if I’m tired of her, I am intrigued about what the endgame actually is.
Definite props to the art team, I know its said a lot but they really are carrying this game. I wasnt a fan of BFA but the scores and zones are always insane.
I really like 3 of the 4 Covenants. I’m looking forward to exploring them.
Thank you!! I’m quite pleased with it myself! Ever since the guy on the Vanilla box, I’ve wanted a glorious beard on my Nelf.
Go see the better version in FFXIV Shadowbringers.
Hope Blizzard can hit 70% of what they did.
