Every WoW expansion, good or bad, people always say “at least the zones are beautiful”
I hate the zones of this expansion. Especially ringing deeps and the spider zone. When I need to go there, I can’t wait to return to isle of dorn where the sun shines.
Hallowfall is ok because it doesn’t look underground and is mostly lit, but it still has a “ceiling” and is claustrophobic.
In TWW the world feels “small” to me, despite the zones being bigger - everywhere tunnels, ceilings, caves, even when you fly.
An underground expansion was a bad idea.
Please make the upcoming 11.1 zone anything but another cave
As far as underground zones and a recent flight update go…they actually killed it in my opinion.
The zones are clearly subterranean but are not claustrophobic and fully accommodate dragon riding. I love TWW’s zones. One of the best things about the expac.
Funny enough those are actually my two favourites out of the zones. Apparently I am the small minority this expansion’s zones were designed for. I like caves and enclosed spaces. Looking forward to going to whatever underground area the Haranir are in, too.
Yeh, Hallowfall is amazingly well done. Out of the zones it definitely gives those Journey to the Center of the Earth vibes. The art team did a wonderful job. I do not know if it will ever happen, but I would love to see to the other side of that sea.
Then again, the art team is usually pretty on point. Even in Shadowlands, where the rest of the story was kinda eh, the zones were spectacular. Ardenweald is one of my favourite zones in the entire game, for example.
Art and music are the old faithfuls of WoW for me. No matter what happens when it comes to gameplay and content I am rarely let down when I actually open my eyes and look around.
I like them, Isle of Dorn is good too because I love history and the first thing they remind of is the Highlands of different nations including Scotland.
