Shadow Lands will probably fail.... but not why you think

I disagree that SL is doing great things. So far, SL is BfA 2

You always see Horde and Alliance faction leaders teaming up for the big bad at the end of the raid, so there is no lore reason why we haven’t already been doing this…

Is this a secret “QQ MAI COVENANT ABILITIEZ” thread?
That’s all I really got from the OP.

False: the better choice is to give Alliance high elves. Faction imbalance = fixed. Next…

If you are good you will succeed no matter which covenant you choose.

Now if you are bad and can’t hide this by changing over to the aoe covenant for m+, that sounds like you should improve your skills

Because skill=/=copying meta optimal build

Yeah they thought that “Really cool allied race” would be literal diaper gnomes and like no one plays them. x,D

High Elves are already playable and now even more officially on the Horde.

Put simply they wasted the time they had renovating previous expansions systems and content and not innovating anything new.

Classes all needed complete overhauls we needed to go back to the old talent systems decouple specs from classes so you could hybrid mix again with new talent systems, we needed full overhauls for all professions.

Players needed more immersion for their avatars that are supposed to be a fantasy extension of themselves in real life inside a virtual world. currently Wow is still an old Theme-park MMO it has nothing for role-play or interaction other than a few quest that phase you to a new instanced version of a map tile when you make a choice. so much more could have been done in the years we’ve waited for shadow lands and its probably go to be a letdown because the Devs have a lack of vision for this old game. This is my OP though Yours may be wildly different.

I actually kind of see things in the converse, in that I’m worried about all the semi-useless spells coming back and bloating my bars, but I’m stuck on covenants that fit my individual character and not so hung up on whether they are “optimal” for all situations.

I’m yet to see a list of spells coming back for any class and being like, “yeah, I’m glad that’s coming back.” It’s more like “didn’t they get rid of this shizz for a reason?”

Yawn… as it’s been noted many times before, Blood Elves account for the majority of Quel’dorei, not all.
