For the immediate future, I don’t think I’ll renew the sub, but gotta throw in my 2 cents of feedback on the way out, as so many of us are prone to do.
Pros:
- Arcane Mage (that’s all I play) is actually really fun right now, love the orbs and spellslinger was always my jam from the introduction of hero talents, so I’m having a blast actually!
- Delves are legit some of my favorite content, keep it up
- Beautiful artwork all over the game, there’s never been a reason to gripe at how colorful/cool the World of WOW is, always hats off to the art team
- Being positive in a group tends to bring out positivity in others
Cons:
- Game bugs!!! Ran into so many, even got the “double item in the vault” bug yesterday and it’s just off putting to the game experience. My threshold for bug tolerance (and I do give grace for some bugs, I get it) has definitely been exceeded. Please invest in QA.
- Some players are just jerks and actively ruin what is otherwise an enjoyable time and I DO NOT understand why that is so common in this game (maybe it’s just society in general, idk)
- The timers in the game. The weekly resets, vault, daily resets, lockouts, bountiful rotation, treasure map, etc. in many cases just creates time-friction that is not needed or enjoyable. Everything is built around this strange cadence and I suspect it helps get people to “tune in next time as…” but honestly you could drop probably 2/3s of the lockout/timers and just add value to the game experience.
Reason(s) I would re-sub immediately:
- If I had some real life friends that wanted to play with me, or some of my older kids wanted to play with me, then easy choice to jump back in–I have never really found people inside the game to play with, so it’s a solo game even when I pug most content.
- If I read an article from PC Gamer, or other outside report, or even saw something from the WOW team that declared a renewed focus on eliminating game bugs and overall improvement on Quality Assurance, I’d probably give you all another chance
- Maybe if life just gets boring enough I’ll come back
There you go, not much to see here, just some thoughts. To all who continue and enjoy the game, blessings your way, have a great time!
