I didn’t play Vanilla and tBC.
Enjoyed WotLK but I think it’s overrated. If it was released today without the rose-tinted glasses of the 2000s, people would hate everything about it. They would say that plot is dumb, that the Lich King acts like a Scooby Doo villain, that the jousting is gimmicky and boring, that the ending makes no sense, that it’s weird that none of the characters that were thematically linked to Arthas (like Uther, Jaina and Sylvanas) got to be in the final fight and that a fire Lich King is the worst idea since the last one. Ulduar would still be universally beloved though. Overall, 6/10
Cata is IMHO the worst expansion ever. The Zul’Again patch was the single worst experience I’ve ever had in WoW, and it tainted the whole expansion for me. We were expected to run Zul’Aman and Zul’gurub 7 times a week every week to cap valor, and those dungeons were far too brutal for LFD and wipes were plentiful, and since Tanks and Healers had instant queues while DPS had hour-long queues, that means every wipe the tank and healer would quit and the rest would endure the brutal queue again. That sucked so bad. -20/10
MoP was amazing. I was a Demonology Warlock. 15/10
WoD was a big blah. What little was there to do was solid, but most of the time I was just AFK and bored. 0/10
Legion… That’s complicated. If I ignore the existence of Demon Hunters, it’s a 10/10. But if I remember that Demon Hunters exist and they were added in Legion and that Warlocks were gutted to make room for them… That’s -∞/10.
BfA - It was fine. The Sad Orcs saga was interesting. The lack of a proper ending cinematic was disappointing. 7/10.
SL - I played Shadowlands until Korthia (RL issues made me quit). I had fun. I understand that people have legitimate reasons to hate Shadowlands, but honestly it feels to me that at least 60% of the Shadowlands hate is performative for the sake of memes.
I returned to WoW at the very end of Dragonflight, so since I missed out on 99% of the expansion I don’t feel qualified to rate it.
TWW is fine. 7/10.
Oh I see. You were just jesting. Good jest.
I would rate the expacs as such:
Vanilla - 8
TBC - 9
Wotlk - 7
Cata - 5
Mop - 5
Wod - 4
Legion - 9
BFA - 7
SL - 5
DF - 7
WWI - 7
Basically, BC and Legion were the best expacs. Most of the rest were sort of meh.
The time between Wotlk and Legion was pretty awful imo. But some people liked MoP, I guess.
Classic - 10/10
TBC - 10/10
Wrath - 5/10
Cata - 4/10
Mop - 7/10
WoD - 7/10
Legio - 4/10
BfA - 6/10
SL - 7/10
Df - 7/10
Tww - 8/10
I suspect midnight will be a 6/10, and I disapprove of precious dev time going into player housing instead of zones, raids, dungeons, delves, either way wait and see.
tww-rating. ruinined my waifu/10. -1000000000000000
WAYYYY OVERRATED!
Basically it was hyped even before WoW was launched because you had full games with Warcraft 3 telling a back story which is mid at best with the classic story of the fallen hero.
Im sure if Warcraft 3 instead of telling the Arthas story, told another one that expansion would a been hyped a lot.
I’m going to press X
