Is This It?

Is there more to come?? Is this all that Shadowlands is, 5 zones, Torghast, and world quests to level up your renown/convenant??

I am genuinely confused and feeling extremely let down by this expansion. It feels empty, boring and grindy (with the feeling of not being sure what I’m actually grinding for).

Maybe I am done with WoW. I’ve played since BC, almost daily, it’s been a big part of my life. Shadowlands feels like the death of WoW to me and I’m just not sure why.

What are your thoughts so far?

I keep hoping there’s a piece of cheese at the end of this maze.

The expansion has only just started. We have many more patches left to go which will bring more content, story, new zones, raids, etc and all kinds of things. Far from over!

Uh oh. Someone hasn’t been around for recent Expansion launches.

Legion had 4 zones at launch. BFA only had 6. Shadowlands has 5.

Each patch/raid season releases either 1 zone or 2 zones. Chill dude. It’s the beginning only. :slight_smile:

They’ve always added more zones later on, chill.

Well, yeah?

I feel like, if this were true, you’d know that expansions get supported with new content for at least a year after release. It’s ok if the current content isn’t jiving with you right now, but there will be more to come.

I feel the complete opposite. I’m having a blast. I hit rival week 1, which was the cap, so I automatically get big 40 item level upgrade choices on Tuesday. My alts have stories to experience. Torghast is fun. I raided for the first time in eight or so months because we’ve been on break since we got AOTC last expansion off N’zoth.

I dunno, I’m having a ball. My class feels fun. PvP is alright. The raid’s neat. M+ tomorrow. The game is what you make of it.

Well we are getting class sets back in a later patch, so safe to say this is just the first patch or so.

You’re expecting more while many people are complaining that there’s too much to do, lol.

I keep saying the issue with this expac is that its simply too much. It feels like the end of an expansion not the start. We have Maw, Missions, WQs, Torghast, Covenants, Runcarver, Vault, Soulbinds, Conduits, and all the currencies and systems tied into each. Not to mention the odd currency like Rubies in Revendreth. Too many chores tied to progressions be it story, skills, or gear a person feels like they have to schedule time to be denied their Uldaur mount for the thousandth time and basically do what they want to do.

On top of all the chores out the gate everything just takes longer. WQs, Missions, WBosses, and even the chests have requirements before you can open them adding to the time. In addition flight paths between the realms and even legacy content is taking longer due to scaling.

Edit: Also all the the Timegating sprinkled all over the place

I guess I’m just getting confused with all the bits and pieces to do like anima, renown etc.

I’m glad that there will be more to come. I don’t recall past expansions being like this, I did stop playing BFA because well…BFA.

Another good thing is I imagine at some point in future patches we’ll lose these launch patch limitations and restrictions…

So, you played during TBC.

Launched January 2007
Patch 2.1 (Black Temple) May 2007
Patch 2.3 (Zul’Aman) November 2007
Patch 2.4 (Magister’s Terrace/Sunwell) March 2008

As you can see from that, there was extensive new story and content revealed over a period of 14 months in the game at the time you started playing it. Yet you find it feels like the death of WoW, after 3 weeks of play?

I find that surprising.
