That’s new then, when I did it they were independent of each other.
As though there’s any “story” worth anything at all. Shadowlands questing is only marginally better than BfA’s “kill 20 of those and 15 of these” time sinks, and the “story” may as well be non-existent.
And having been through the depressing mess that is Maldraxxus once, none of my alts will EVER do the “story” again. Threads of Fate, for me, is the “avoid Maldraxxus” button. What on earth were they thinking with that zone?
Looking for this answer myself. Do new players to the game who buy boost have the shadowlands campaign complete?
