I'm sorry Blizzard, but 8.2 is boring and disappointing so far

[Sevaryn-nerzhul (Sevaryn)]

Yeah I’m not feeling this patch either. It’s doubling down on World of Chorecraft, and even the chores are more obnoxious than usual because the mobs are bloated HP sponges that take forever to whittle down (without even being especially threatening either).

…“so far”…?

It’s been one day. I think I might take a little more time to suss it out before I dig a hole and bury it.

BfA has issues, no doubt about it. But how about we play the damned patch for a bit longer before we say its bad. You talk about gear and say its bad, but for many of my alts its very nice. A 480+ Benthic gear piece helps fill in a lot of gaps for my toons who aren’t 400+. Not every character in the game is. The majority of my alts are sub 380 so its challenging play (which I enjoy) and the rewards suit the work.

I don’ mind it so far, and time will tell how I feel about it. But I do think it deserves a bit of time.

I’m really disappointed in Nazjatar so far. It looks so bland and awful! The entire zone looks the same. The devs also did Queen Azshara so dirty by sticking her in a brown crater. She’s supposed to be vain and garish! All we got was muddy, humdrum textures and colors that remind me A LOT of Argus. It makes me sad that the devs could have done a lot more for a really long awaited and mysterious area, but instead they went with lazily reused content.

They made her less Narcissist and more cold blooded Psychopath who only cares about getting what she wants(the Black Empire of N’Zoth) while N’Zoth is the Narcissist(sensitive to comments to the point of Narcissistic Injury and Rage) in of the relationship.

I couldnt agree more with how the story is disappointing and the lore aspect. I agree with Nazjatar assessment. Why isn’t it a sprawling city like Suramar? I mean in comparrison, Suramar is bigger than Zin-Azshari? I do not understand. Am I missing something? Yes its Naga, but wheres the Daddies mommies and spawn-lings?

The part of Zin Azshari seen in the eastern part of the Zone is only the Marketplace… the rest is behind the wall of water…

All I can think is… THIS is Nazjatar? This is what I the Naga kept spouting about for all those years as I gave them the smackdown? This unimaginative husk of coral, rocks, and barely any buildings or remnants of the actual empire? Wth? THIS is what Blizzard came up with for Nazjatar? It doesn’t even feel like an ancient Naga empire beneath the sea, it feels like just a random part of the ocean where the water was parted. 100% Disappointed and honestly at a loss of hope.

The Naga never shown any impressive architecture that they themselves built unlike the Night Elven Ruins they usually squat in. Nazjatar shows their best architecture yet(with the best part being the Eternal Palace).

Speak for yourself. I enjoy it so far, my only gripe is there are some mechanics that arent intuitive ingame and the nazjatar map has too many areas where you fall to your death and not enough ways to mitigate that.

[Zaria-moon-guard (Zaria)]

I’m having a pretty good time today. The content kept me pretty engaged all evening and there’s plenty to do off the beaten path in Nazjatar. So, I’m optimistic about the patch; but it’s still day 1.

I’d enjoy it even more if Blizzard would stop covering every zone they make in hostile mobs.

Blizzard says “Its the biggest patch we’ve ever done!” but once you get into the game, it feels like there is nothing there.

And I actually agree with this. But it’s probably just because they cycle out the content week-by-week. If they just released everything on the first day, this would in-fact be the largest patch to date, and it would feel like it.

[Breck-stormreaver]

1. Two brand new zones
2. New essences to unlock from doing islands,dungeons,WQs, lvling your partner, pvp etc.
3. New gear for catch up for alts.
4. A new raid.
5. A new dungeon
6. Flying.
7. New story quests.
8. New mats to increase professions for stronger potions and items.
9. New mounts to collect.
   There is more but still people just wanna be babies about things.
   “Oh I will just wait for classic!” Talk about a grind in classic. If you are complaining about content you are nuts.

[Grenedin-lightbringer]

it feels like there is nothing there.

My early impression is that one zone feels like Timeless Isle, and the other one feels like Isle of Thunder.

Some stuff comes from drops, as in quests come from drops, so even though it feels like nothing is there, it is, you just have to find it.

[Namarí-thrall]

Argus was better

[Namarí-thrall]

1. two new zones that are a currency grind, easy to kill mobs
2. Essences - another currency grind
3. New gear for low geared players do nothing for 99% of which is geared
4. Raid isn’t out
5. Flying will take weeks like WoD due to lack of quests and WQ
6. Story line is bad all around
7. new mats - more grinding but luckily everything drops them so they are worthless
8. Mounts to collect ? money sink

no most of us are aware and don’t have our heads in Blizzards bum. You are nuts if you think what they gave us is “good content”

[anon25946539]

The initial weapon reward was nerfed just before launch of 8.2 to a ilvl 370 weapon

Wait people beleived we were getting 415 weapons lmao

Nearly all relevant and interesting content is time gated (Mega Dungeon, new Mythic+ season, new PvP gear)

You use that word but I don’t think you understand what you are talking about

Manapearls are mainly only used for catch up players. Other than that, they are really worthless.

kinda the point

What happened to content like Timeless Isle where they was a ton of interesting content to do?

Timeless wasn’t that good it was there for the same reason the 2 new zones are here to get people to catch up on alts

[Carissaria-aggramar]

Totally right, and does it not bother you as well that we paid more for this expac than any other, yet have a tenth of the content if that?

Accounting for inflation, wouldn’t we be paying even less for this expac?

[Lasin-ravenholdt]

If you are playing mostly for world content, you know already what you are getting. How is it too early ?

[Baridorielor-malfurion (Baridorielor)]

The Tmog options are greatly appreciated, Other then giving me stuff to do in a new zone, i can’t think of anything else that is net positive. I guess i could say “at least the graphics are pretty” but i don’t want to sound trite.

[Hanzul-proudmoore]

Argus was at least menacing. You could fall into the vastness of the great dark in almost any direction too far. Elites were everywhere so you had to be mindful of your pathing. You really had a feeling of being in the enemy’s yard and the enemy reminded you of it often. So far Nazjatar’s threat is the ocean falling in around you and drowning you which won’t happen so okay.

[Cirramaru-amanthul (Cirramaru)]

So you have done everything? The patch only came out, and you’re still just sitting in town and waiting for queues .

[Novari-area-52]

I already hate Nazjatar. Argus was better than this. The only thing Nazjatar has on Argus is the lack of green lava.

Mechagon is 1000 times better, and it doesn’t even need WQ’s to keep me there.

[Breck-stormreaver]

What is “good content.” Then

[Argronak-queldorei (Argronak)]

I would love to know that too.

Come on backseat developers, how you would make good content out of this game with the engine limitations it is on?

[Cirramaru-amanthul (Cirramaru)]

You’re not 100% of the population, everyone has different tastes. Just because you personally don’t like something, does not mean there is not people out there who do…

[Valados-lightbringer (Valados)]

I’m reserving my judgment until I unlock flying.

I think flying will make a huge difference in the fun factor of BFA.
