Worst? I-- uh… uhm… Sorry, you need to check again.
I’m not going to defend the writing too much, but it is definitely far better than I initially thought it would be. It did a way better job of catching my attention than BfA. Even enjoyed the moments I spent in Ardenweald and how it expanded upon existing lore a bit.
As for the content itself, all expansions are slow and same-y at the start until they roll out content. For every MMO this is a fact, it’s just something that comes with the type of game. Seems like you’re expecting way too much from them, seeing as we’ve yet to even experience the raid itself.
Yes they do but their actions with all these gimmics for people to buy 6 months and everytime you log in or go somewhere its there been shoved down our throats SL. They stop giving sharing sub numbers for a reason! hmm I wonder why.
I actually enjoyed Beta and stated so, I also am enjoying the release and have since last Monday only got maybe 24 hours total sleep while not play, and eating. I have petty much much really enjoyed myself.
I don’t see an issue with Blizzard having things difficult at the start of an xpac since within a month or two everything become a face roll and on speed dial anyways. What take you 10 minutes now will be only taking you a few minutes come a couple of month if you continue to do them at all because you will have all the rewards earned by then anyways.
Giving instant gratification is not how you keep people playing a subscription game over a long period of time. Its all about only letting them take little bites and drawing out their travels through the realms. It is all about time consumption. I have spent so many 1000’s of days of game played time over the past 14 years consuming their product and enjoying it. I personally have got every bit of my moneys worth as well as my entertainment value.
I’m with the OP… I unsubb’d too…everything is bad and absolutely horrendously ANNOYING and the only good thing I can say about Shadowlands is Ardenweald was very pretty zone but even that zone was horribly annoying with terrain traveling path…another rats maze designed to annoy and slow you down
OK, I really don’t get this “SL is worse than BFA” argument.
Maybe I’m suffering from the inverse of rose-tinted glasses (“poop-tinted glasses?”), but that expac was so bad, SL basically just had to show up and not sit on my head to come out on top. So far, it hasn’t sat on my head.
This is some of the absolute worst writing of any xpac ever. Heck they spoiled the big revel of the Master by putting him on the evil side of the loading screen… Of course it was as big a revel as some one telling you Darth Vader is Luke’s dad in 2020 considering the previous zone had the mobs all chanting “For the Master!” and 'The Master will prevail!". Then imeadiatly on entering the zone you have the rebels telling you the master is not what he seems.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it so far. Zones are beautifully designed, dungeons are fun (aside from Plaguefall and only because I hate the doctor jumping all over the place!) I like the little things you can do based on covenant in a dungeon. These aren’t super amazing but it’s a neat concept.
The Maw, while slow, is someone entertaining. Not my favorite, not my most hated.
Torghast. Love it. It’s basically D3 rifts ( the only good thing about D3 - D2 is way better.) And they offer little powerups that can lead to some OP effects.
All in all, so far it’s amazing. Sorry you don’t like it, best of luck!
What rewards exactly? Oh the possible mount that we can’t even get yet?
Like I said earlier if the only reward from dungeons was a small chance at a mount they wouldn’t be considered fun or rewarding. At least when you do a dungeon you have multiple chances at some form of reward.
When you do a run in Torghast you have zero chance at a reward of any kind unless you complete the entire thing. So yeah killing trash mobs for 40 minutes for absolutely nothing is not fun, doesn’t matter how you try to spin it.
So here is my rant if that’s what this is… But I don’t plan to leave yet since I want to see the big bang happen or what fix’s are done about it first.
Firstly It’s nice to see pvp brought back as part of the game progression again and not just a “side objective I believe pvers called it last 5 years” even given some care. (BUT HOLD ON ITS NO ALL RAINBOWS AND BUTTERFLIES)
Several classes are broken and are one shoting in pvp
Damage or health/armor is out of whack. (It’s like they made damage way to high and health far to low)
Pvp trinket set bonus was a nice change but they left out the defensive bonus which resilience could have solved if they would just bring it back.
Healers are getting shafted and I imagine this will be a who can stun who first Arena season and even triple rogue comps in 3s…
Casters are underwhelmingly performing compared to melee since they can legit close the gap like no tomorrow now.
gimmicks being required for “competitive content”
If those things are fixed I’ll be happy but it’s highly doubtful so I’ll play till it gets to me or my buddy quits.
Modern WoW strengths are on Endgame dungeons. And it seems you are just an World Quest guy and you dont do dungeons. You would be bored as hell. You must be on a wrong game.
