Subjective, I’m sure there are people who will enjoy it. Personally I dislike what they are doing for 9.1 that only having friends etc to run end game with would save it for me.
I don’t even think it’s that. Whatever vision they had for the expansion, be it covenants or the maw or torghast or whatever grindy new system they’re about to unleash…that’s all we’re going to get in shadowlands. Any brand new, system-wide changes won’t come until 10.0.
Probably best then to move on since you already seem to know it will be terrible and have your heart set on it being bad. WoW is likely not for you anymore. Plenty of other mmos out there for you.
Ironically I didn’t even hate that like other people seemed to. I always did the Tortollan quests while they were up because they were quick, easy, and a nice gameplay break from “mindlessly murder 20 mobs”.
Lets unpack this, the maw is bad why? Most people dont like that you dont get a mount and the eye of the jailer (And i agree with this). This is being removed, what is the difference in the new zone from their typical rep quest hub? They have been doing this i think since wrath of the lich king.
The maw at least wasn’t the generic World Quest tracker rep.
Their .1 patches since legion have typically included a mega dungeon a raid and sometimes outdoor world content. The content in these isnt mind blowing but its ok.
I also don’t get the comparison to FF, they use a cookie cutter patch release. So much so there’s almost no surprise.
What exactly do people want from this patch? A completely new game? Revolutionary new features? This is beyond a patch scope/
You realize that could have been an hotfix change right? But instead we get time played metrics mattering more and have to wait several months for 9.1 to fix this.
Um no. I’m sure you got a big ego because of your post count and think you know it all… But dailies and rep grinds are not the game. Raiding, Mythic, and arena/rated bgs are the game.
My main mmorpg has been FFXIV for a long time. WoW was just my first true love in the genre. To bad the developers have trashed it bleeding out what ever money they can while it’s still alive.
If final fantasy is your main game, then maybe you should stop trying to turn WoW into Final Fantasy. Different people like different things. What if I went to the FF forums to complain that there isn’t enough pvp in FF and there’s too much story?
