...this is it?

I’m not a fan of time gating, but isn’t this exactly the same way TV shows work?

The entire seasons is filmed, edited, and ready to show, but they gate it weekly on TV despite that.

WoW is like that TV channel that is 80% commercials and 20% actual TV. By the time the commercials are over, people have already changed the channel

Hence the rise of Netflix, where an entire season is released at once.

Geometrically, that’s basically what our universe looks like.

It is nice, but unless it’s a Netflix only show it tends to just be old seasons.

Hulu and HBO still doing weekly episodes.

Guess that’s why no one except for Disney+ has even approached Netflix user numbers.

This isn’t a tv show. They didn’t make enough content for multiple episodes.

We got 1 raid, 1 new zone, torghast

That’s a movie

Doesn’t Disney+ do episodes?

[Sabbia-moonrunner (Sabbia)]

Yeah but they have a massive advantage because of IP control lol. You want to watch anything Star Wars or Marvel, you don’t have any other options.

Are you new to wow? this is every patch ever.

I’m convinced some people are just so miserable and so disenchanted with the MMO space that literally nothing will satiate them.

This isn’t a problem with WoW…it’s a cultural problem.

I’m going to tell you all now, prepare yourselves, because there is a time coming when you will own nothing and you will be happy.

THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE. YES.

Some people are just NEVER going to be happy. The people who said they missed the OLD way wow was, went to Classic… and they weren’t happy there either. I feel like they’ve all come back to the retail forum to whine about literally EVERYTHING.

I think the rest of the story unlocks next week. The time gating this time around seems very mild

When you divorce player power from a zone, you divorce most players from that zone.

^ 100% this. I rarely invest time into bonus systems and non-player power content.

I actually liked artifact power in Legion. It kept me doing world quests. In SL, I haven’t done a world quest in almost half a year.

If this is it…

please let me know.

If this ain’t love you better let me go.

[Caféaulait-burning-blade]

Literally everything ( Story, systems, etc) could’ve been unlocked this week.

It’s a good read.

[Thnxheapsbro-area-52]

I don’t want binge content. I want it gated so I don’t have to play dozens of hours a week.

They listened.

@Sultani-laughing-skull

The raid tier sets look terrible.

The raid tier sets look like absolute garbage, you can clearly tell they gave up on this expansion.

[Degame-stormrage (Degame)]

this new zone would have been a little more fun with flying. by the time we get flying just going to be flying to rares that drop mounts, toys, and pets.

the only fun quest was riding a frog that let me semi glide and pick up item.
