I am personally enjoying it. It’s not without huge flaws though, such as the azerite system - which I am not a fan of. No expansion is without it’s flaws though (I’ve played through all of them).
I also don’t believe that just because I’m having fun that everyone else is or should be, people like different things. ![:woman_shrugging:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/woman_shrugging.png?v=6" ":woman_shrugging:")
That pretty much sums up why I like BFA. Unfortunately, we do have a peacenik that is starting to lecture, though the boy king is Alliance rather than neutral. I’m not looking forward to where the story line is going, but I’m enjoying things for the time being.
Very true, I’ve noticed there were plentiful subtlety added to the storyline of BFA, some which may involve thoroughly searching an area, reading the questline, as well as the text on items dropped from island expeditions and speculate what is to happen.
Although the Faction War gives the immersive feeling of boredom and isolation, what is to come in BFA future seems vastly exciting.
Well aren’t you a ray of sunshine…
/sarcasm.
MoP was an excellent expansion overall. WoD was absolutely terrible, and Cata is a close second. BFA is slightly better, but still has a huge way to go. The Azerite system especially should have been scrapped to bring back the Artifact weapons.
BFA is a mixed bag for me. I love the story (seriously) and the Art team is awesome as usual.
The things I hate? Class design. Class design. Class design. I really wish we’d get an expansion where classes don’t change at all unless they are broken. Next would be itemization. Call me on board with getting rid of titanforged gear. Also call me on board with getting rid of all RNG that isn’t related to the loot table. I want meaningful gear to plan for. I don’t want hundreds of useless pieces that get boiled down into something I want later. Another thing I hate is a boring world. Really there’s no excuse for the world to be as boring as it is. Oh there’s a mob that will kill you alright. You just have to be standing on its 10x10 plot to die to it. Yawn.
The boring? The litany of world quests we got were repetitive and trivial. The warfronts were repetitive and trivial. I didn’t touch expeditions as I heard they were repetitive and trivial.
So mixed bag really. The game desperately needs new direction. No “Raid or Die” garbage. Make the world meaningful again. Less focus on raids more focus everywhere else.
I dont mind BfA at all. I would guess that its mainly due to having a group of long time friends come back to play after not doing so since cata and the guild I joined with them are all folks my age (late 20’s) who all have careers and families and use WoW to still do things with friends who have moved away.
We all have a good time raiding and if you miss a week or two they dont get mad. If it wasnt for the above reasons I would have never come back after unsubbing during MoP
Fixed that for you.
I don’t like console because I don’t like playing games that end or just provide a finite number of objectives. To me, all console games are just a variation of Super Mario Brothers.
That’s just crazy to me. You’re missing out on so many of the greatest games ever made.
It’s not like I haven’t tried playing them. I bought a PS3 a few years ago, and I actually did like the Assassin’s Creed trilogy. But one day I kind of got bored, and I haven’t turned it on in over 2 years. I just feel like console games are like arcades, and I don’t like those either.
You’re so used to drinking the koolaid by now you can’t step back and say, man this koolaid isn’t good for me and needs to be looked at.
Try something like Breath of the Wild, or even Skyrim or the Witcher 3. Huge open world games where you pretty much can do whatever you want, in whatever order you want.
Why? WoW pretty much consumes all of my time. I don’t have enough time in my day to do all the things I want to do in WoW, so when would I have time to play something else?
I would be playing now, but I’m at work lol.
If you want to be nitpicky like that, sure. I played through vanilla content. But I didn’t experience how the game was during the time that vanilla was all that there was to do. I didn’t experience how things were back then in terms of imbalances, community, struggle with money etc. that everyone mentions when vanilla comes up. So yeah, I played thrpugh the zones but I’d argue that I didn’t experience vanilla for all that it was.
The story certainly keeps me guessing. What’s Sylanas’ aim? When will Saurfang move? What’s N’Zoth up to?
Unfortunately all these stories focus on what the Horde will do, so we then can see how the Alliance will react. I guess there is one story the Alliance is waiting for, what’s up with Calia and **spoilers Derek Proudmore?
The fact you had to put a disclaimer “mostly” should be your answer.
As an example, not everyone likes Lemonade. You may like it, but another man may hate it.
It’s true of everything. There may be enough things that people hate to dislike the entire experience. Stuff that you personally don’t mind.
The kicker is when you have enough people who dislike something, perhaps its time you look at where you went wrong. It’s ok if a small number of people aren’t happy. You can’t please everyone. But when you have large amounts of hatred, perhaps its time you step back, try and divorce yourself and look at the situation impartially.
I might be in the minority here, but I’m hoping after BfA, or in a latter content patch, Jaina takes the faction over.
I like it but it just seems like a lesser version of Legion. Think like Islands and Warfronts that were supposed to be the main content are just horrible and STILL VERY UNREWARDING.
The storyline of BFA is unbelievably slow compared to Legion. It is just a torturous slow storyline on both factions.
It has been giving me a lot to do since my back surgery but most of that revolves around pvp.
Did you try heating up the chili in the toaster again Hawkens? Love your chili fries but it’s got to be bad for the toaster ![:thinking:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/thinking.png?v=6" ":thinking:")
