The Best Expansions All Had Something In Common

A sense of impending doom on the horizon.

What I mean by that is you could see for the whole expansion who we would face off with, it was always the center of attention.

TBC: You could always see the Black Temple on the horizon.

Wrath: You could always see Ice Crown on the horizon.

Legion: You could always see Tomb of Segeras on the horizon, but we got a curveball and got Argus which we saw in the sky.

Blizzard’s writing/dev team need to get back to using this formula. Lately it feels like we have nothing to fight for, there’s no sense of danger to keep us on edge.

Honestly I enjoyed knowing who the main villain of the expansion was from day 1. I enjoyed having the Lich King in every zone, building up to his final defeat at the end of the expansion. While yes, he was a bit of a Saturday morning cartoon villain I did enjoy the fact that the writers could give up opportunities throughout the expansion to weaken him. Shoutout to Garrosh in WOD who died in a quest….

MoP and DF would like to have a word with you…now they weren’t bad, but definitely not the best…somewhere in the middle

WW is lacking the strong theme and cool/badass characters that TBC, Wotlk and Legion had.

Granted I didn’t raid in TBC i was a new player still leveling…to me Sunwell would be that curveball just like Argus.

You could see Torghast from as much of the expansion as Black Temple (remember, when Burning Crusade was current content, “on the horizon” meant “half a zone away, at best”).

I like both MoP and DF. I feel that DF is the first one in terms of really really modern wow, and dragonriding is one of the best thing in wow ever and the dragon isle is one of the best and the most relaxing zones to level; same of mop.

Legion had a pretty satisfying ending.

I won’t lie- TWW 11.2 looks very interesting to me.

Especially the dungeon/raid.

As cool as Wrath was, the final patch was “meh”.

Remember Ruby Sanctum? The actual final raid? Almost nobody does lol.

To be fair ruby sanctum was released to give us content as we waited for Cata. It wasn’t intended to replace ICC.

It’s better than how he was treated in TBC, by a vast margin lol.

He was just a quest mob back then.

Also him being the “biggest boss ever” is interesting.

N’zoth could’ve been a whole expansion too, but I’ll take what I can get.

maybe he wins war within and is fully awakened and becomes the threat in midnight

No, only DF need to have a word with him…
MoP is one of the best expansions, no wonder it’s coming back as Classic servers.
The only people who didn’t liked Pandaria are the haters of asian culture.

I’m thinking we beat him, but Xal betrays us right after and makes Azeroth dark or something, queue up Midnight.

Did you ever see the unfinished ‘zone’ behind Eternal Palace? It was like an entire untextured zone that seemed like it was N’zoth
