Name 1 Positive and 1 Negative thing about The War Within

Personal opinions obviously

Positive: Transmogs - A lot of the transmogs this expansion have been really cool. Also appreciate the fact we can unlock other class tier set appearances now.

Negative: The writing and characters are pretty damn mid

Negative: But why so many foot shots? Who’s directing this? Tarantino?

The world itself is one of the most-realized expansion settings I’ve witnessed in a WoW expansion since Mists of Pandaria, and by far one of the most interesting.

Being in that world, however, is a drag. It’s just not fun. The world quests are dull, the side quests are mediocre, and the main campaign is so unbelievably bad that it drags the experience of existing in a WoW setting down entirely.

Positive: Warbands. It’s just completely streamlined alts.

Negative: Hero Powers.
I had actually wrote down Delves but editing it for Hero Powers. Most of them are just real dull. Some of them are conflicting thematically.

If they just invested the time into the regular class trees I feel like we’d have gotten more bang for our buck.

Positive: Delves
Negative: Hunters. As in, blizzard’s recent approach to class design for hunters. Not just the current stuff on the PTR, which I vehemently dislike (although that exacerbates my annoyance). But their overall stripping of hunters’ choice and uniqueness by saddling us with random animals we did not choose, when hunters have the unique and special ability in the game to tame pets. No one else does it, and rather than embrace that core feature of the class they lately keep avoiding it. At least they’re getting rid of the stupid sentinel owl though, so they can pretend it’s not a specifically night elf themed hero spec.

I heartily endorse these thoughts!!

Negative: the proposed re-work of MM

Positive: the devs listened to our input and re-instated pets for MM spec

See what I did there??? :wink:

Positive: Absolutely miserable to endure M+ affixes are gone. No more bursting, spiteful, or any of that garbage.

Negative: Meta is stale as can be, and the only balance patches that came through happened specifically to neuter anything other than the time tested meta classes. Good try Prot War and Resto Shaman - ya’ll almost mattered for a month.

positive - level 10/11 twinks rule the world of warcraft
negative - you cant take a level 11 twink in mythic+

positive - dragon flying mounting at level 10+
negative - walking until you’re level 10

postive - follower dungeons for solo players
negative - you cant do a mythic+ as a follower dungeon (solo)

Negative: Of all the class/races added at the start of a new expansion Earthen ranks worst of the worst. It honestly almost feels like they were designed to be uninteresting. What little of the culture and aesthetic isn’t copy/paste from dwarves is just titan lore we already know about. They’re even given this automaton motif to justify giving them less personality than most newly introduced cultures.

Positive: I’m really glad for access to delves and now Siren isle for gearing up alts. It’s much more convenient.

Positive: No more weird dragon stuff.

Negative: Anduin is experiencing his first “trauma”.

Positive: I think the gameplay itself is really strong. Every class feels really satisfying and hero talents have made most specs more engaging.

Negative: The story and characters are just slop. I can’t bring myself to be interested in the lackluster lore.

Ah yea your name says it all

It leads to Midnight

It wasted my time

(too harsh? hehehehahahahahaha)
