Shadowlands was actually better than Dragonflight and War Within

if shadowlands was maybe properly developed and every single thing better about it, then i would agree

unfortunately the covenant cosmetic grinds are inhumane cruelty, the disconnected zones are nothing short of a warcrime and the story was as underdeveloped as your average abortion

Them Xala’toes

Dreadlords were suposed to be relevant at a point they spy every single cosmologic force, Denathrius being their leader. This has nothing to do with “one -off thought”

lol imagine having this bad of a take.

yes 100% if torghast gave gear it would have been as popular as delves.

Choreghast gave you pretty much zero reward for doing it except for an extremely grindy thing you did for artifacts.

Delves give you lots of gear, and are shorter bits of content in general and are far less RNG-heavy.

… 2? What, Warrior only has 2 specs now? pretty sure there’s 3 specs, and now you have Hero talents, which really, you have 6 different warrior specs. Now, just like the Covenants, some Hero Talent Trees are better than others. But, still. the choice was even more LOL in SL, as some covenants were hilariously bad for some classes that it was a no-brainer.

And sometimes that no-brainer caused you to have to pick one whose zone you really didn’t like.

Revendreth was my least favorite hellhole but yet it was the favored covenent of some class/specs. That crap will always suck.

Well, let’s see. SL pulled a villain out of its backside, shoved Sylvanas down our throat some more, and then forced us to endure a Karma Houdini Redemption Story when all we wanted was to finally see her DIE for once. For Good. Like completely annihilated.

And this whole spiritual realm thing just didn’t do it for me. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

Maldraxxus was an eyesore. They were basically trying to do Icecrown without the Ice. And it didn’t work all that well.
Revendreth was a zone designed by devs who clearly hate the players.
Ardenweald was the only “good” zone (and even then I was getting tired of the MarySue Drust somehow being oh-so-powerful that hardly nothing can stand up to them).
Bastion was “eh.” about the only thing good about Bastion were those adorable birbs. The rest of the zone was kinda… /yawn worthy. And this is coming from a person whose favorite class is paladin.
The Maw was an even worse eyesore, more dark gloomy goth stuff. With MOAR SPIKY METAL. /yawn

Danathrius… who? Is that the prince idiot in Revendreth? /eyeroll Another goth vampire. /yawn

This is how every TWW character is being treated, but in the release of the exp, not multiple exp later like Denathrius.
Denathrius will be a parameter of a good character 10 years from now, Ansurek is already a dungeon boss tier quality.

We get it, you like vampires.

SL is the worst expansion for WoW.

Sylvanas was still a major character in SL despite being butchered.

The story was still being carried by strong and powerful characters at the time. Characters with conviction whether we disagreed with their principles or not.

Now it’s being carried by Failleria and Blanduin.

It broke so much lore and the fact OP thinks TWW is worse and Earthen are filler content? He is crazy. Earthen literally been in the game since vanilla. They are not filler content.

They’re kicking off a brand new trilogy with TWW, it’s the first 1 of the trilogy, and Ansurek was never meant to be the be-all and end-all of the expansion, no more than Mr. Goth Vampire was.

Both of them were the first raid final bosses, and eh, at least Ansurek has a bit of a backstory as to what happened with her and her mother?

But the Vampire? He’s just a vampire, and just wholly evil and you end up supporting the prince who is… not quite as evil.

I’ll wait and see what they do with him, but they absolutely fumbled the backdrop of his character’s relevance. Similar to what happened with the Jailer, Blizzard went through assigning things to Denathrius via retcon, with some of those retcons creating breaks in logic in the story we already had. Denathrius was well-received because of his presence and demeanor as a character, not because of his presence being a net-positive in the overall lore.

Actually im not a revendreth fan, i like maldraxus and bastion theme.
Denathrius is just that good.

Nobody remembers those, so it literally is only you.

I dunno about anybody else, but I paid more attention to Binthe and the Councilman, as well as the other Earthen… and the Trio in Ajz-Kahet are kinda interesting.

I don’t really care about Anduin and his new lover.

Also it’s interesting to see Thrall rocking plate armor. He don’t have control over the elements anymore but that didn’t stop him from getting back up and kicking butt.

again, no- you’re talking a lot, but you’re just not worth my time.
Obviously, plainly, the game was better when we got rep/renown from doing activities we already enjoyed doing, the 3 pillars of content, dungeons, raids or BGs.
Obviously, plainly, the game was better when all the classes and races had access to transmog. lol
There is no argument to these things off the top of my head, troll as you might.

If they are interesting tier, Ga’nar is hundred tiers above as a demigod

Loved how one of the councilmen became a smuggler for the betterment of his people. Interesting that he was doing his edict and not at the same time. Curse of flesh really gave them free will.

Laugh all you want, but I kinda enjoy the whole trope where you have a leader that is all prim and proper, but behind closed doors, does some dirty deals for the betterment of the faction he’s leading.

It’s an interesting trope.
