I liked the quest. Doing it on a mage brought back a lot of Legion class-focus feelings. I liked the Kel-thuzad cameo. Didn’t expect that from my Kill 10 Kobalds quest.
The little funeral they held at the end was appropriate. I don’t love the decision not to rebuild, because Dalaran was somehow meddlesom, or overlly politicized internally. Dalaran did a lot of good. It was the platform from which the world was saved TWICE. Even in its ruin, it delivered us to Khaz Algar and we have (so far) thwarted Xalatath.
I’m sorry the case for not-rebuilding was not made. Also do non-mages participate in the final cut scene? When the boats are sent off my mage joined in and channeled magic with the rest. If my warrior did that I’d be annoyed.
My warlock did it and was at the boat scene, so yes. Also they are rebuilding, they are just not rebuilding as the old kirin tor. Something new is coming out of the ashes.
the story isnt good? but all the youtube sycophants are raving about how much Blizzard is cooking this expansion and how much they are bringing their A game in storytelling.
The reason was, he had to get got so the lady who made him grovel and apologize to can be the new leader. He was the patriarchy and she singlehandedly dismantled it.
Just like with Dragon Age Veilguard, blood and violence are too scary and thus games are trending away from those. (Seriously, compare Origins to Veilguard.)
Which is funny, because players are just gonna trend away from these games.
Blood and violence and darkness are why we played Warcraft in the first place.
It was gritty and unapologetic.
Dragonflight was wonderfully tone-deaf, it doesn’t even realize it’s Warcraft.
I thought it was alright. The only 2 annoying things was that Arathi lady and the druid lady.
At least it isn’t more Sylvanas fan fiction. I went in expecting the worst for the main story line like in BFA and Shadowlands - pure cringe. At least current Anduin isn’t a Mary Sue.
Veilguard kind of flopped didn’t it. Heard it didn’t make back its cost.
Where the expansion started, it looks like it is gonna end. Why would we build an outpost there anyway?
Kel’thuzad’s writing was ok.
And the floating boats, that was the most stupid thing I have ever seen in a video game.
If it is for autists yes you are nailing it blizzard.
I was also not a fan of it, and I hope it means the Kirin Tor just goes away forever, though I know it doesn’t. There’s nothing compelling about it anymore. Medivh was the last good thing to come from it.
I’m torn. Metzen did say most of the work was already done when he came back onboard before TWW.
On the other hand, I don’t know that it will make a difference. The narrative has clearly taken a turn, with the Alliance and Horde behaving as though nothing in the past was any big deal. Even for the DF intro quests, when you reach the first outpost, one of the NPC’s laughs off Syndrax’s (or however you spell her name) question about the Alliance and Horde having a history, acting like it’s no big deal.
I’m not sure what they’re wanting or expect from Metzen, but I feel like it will be more of the same considering the direction they want to take the game.
“We need to stop interfering in the world!”
“You mean answering calls for help?”
“Yes.”
“Saving countless lives over the years.”
“Totally reckless.”
“Literally dropping a Legion invasion in its tracks.”
“Exactly!”
“…and getting shot down by scheming demigods in a literal diablos ex machina moment nobody could have foreseen?”
“Our hubris! What were we thinking!”
“And now you’d like me to-”
“-roll your little Green Lantern wheelchair off into the sunset, yes. This is Jaina time now.”
“…”
“…”
“You’re going to start up a discount Scions of the Seventh Dawn, aren’t you?”
“Watch those stairs on the way down.”
It really hasn’t. The whole “we have bigger problems than each other lets shake on it and occasionally squabble” has veen the norm, not the exception, since WC3.
