I haven’t played every class. Can you direct me to one where the guide doesn’t say “These hero talents are mostly passive so won’t affect your rotation.”?
Poor you, I haven’t had this much fun in years. Fantastic expansion pack.
That is another reason I don’t focus on that any more. It gets stale. Instead I just find other things to do.
I’m in your boat.
If I’m designing a Shado-pan monk I’m thinking “Ninja” so let’s give it some ninja stuff.
I’d give it a stealth button. A smoke bomb. And maybe that claw on a chain, classic ninja weapon.
But what did blizzard give us? A flurry of fists that procs randomly. Yawn.

This exactly. The smoke bomb could be like rogue shroud and tell me that wouldn’t be awesome for a pugging Brm who wants to skip packs?

Uh… Each of those wasn’t just an RP sub faction. They came with abilities that significantly affected the way you play.
I preferred BGs instead of Arenas so what I wanted for abilities was different maybe than what an arena player wanted.
I had a night fae fury warrior with leaper for absolute flag carrying mayhem.
I got to choose how my class played, for maximum fun and I measured success based on how much enjoyment I got for my money, because I’m an adult. I had 4 choices per character per class. Combine that with the 3 talent specs.
I didn’t care about the people who lived in the Shadowlands. They aren’t even from my characters planet. I cared about what they let me do.
The game is just too formulaic. Gear is boring, and the whole, hey let’s keep recycling a small amount of content and just scale up the difficulty is getting old.
Blizzard keeps building these huge zones only to let them rot, because they keep hamfisting everyone into 8 dungeons 1 raid and now a bunch of delves that are just recycled assets.
I don’t think the current devs care anymore, the game is being kept a float by a bunch of whales that will eat up whatever slop Blizzard shovels out these days.
No offense to the devs, but I just don’t see any talent in any of the content anymore.

you decided to focus on boring content and got bored. what a surprise.
I think that WoW has evolved into something that no one really knows how to develop for anymore. It’s hard to measure if those developments are a success because every feature is a standalone feature and the glue that ties them together is an illusion.
The game is a hub for various forms of instanced content. A bunch of mini-games. There’s no real scholarship on what makes that good and WoW is the only metric by which wow can measure itself. It’s not sustainable, nor is it replaceable if this is what people want. It’s a strange era of online virtual worlds and the history of it is going to have a huge chapter on this.

No TWW is the worst expansion ever made, because it’s the most recent one.

I keep saying:
Delves are 8 hours of content being stretched to last 60 hours.
Meanwhile blizzard has 60 hours of content in the overworld that they are squishing down to 8 hours…

how playing a dk but having skills and visuals that resemble life (ardenweald) is any fun
‘but muh meta’
it was simple 100x better, you had to underperform in every aspect of the game and make your life worse, dont pretend that you had a choice (for the majority of the specs)
i dont rp, but if iam a druid iam not using death magic, you shouldnt feel forced to, i also dislike those bland and uninspired after life covenants, and there were just 4 of them…
the most boring and hilarious after life representation i have ever seen
its ok if you liked it we all have bad taste in something in life
It doesn’t matter if I liked it or not. The game design behind covenants was superior (for gameplay options) to hero talents. While that is my subjective opinion, it’s the right one.
four poor made covenants vs a bunch of sub specs
are you for real
i dislike hero talents, but you have more choice with them than covenants, if you dont chose covenant x you m+ runs were uncessary painful and who cares it if you were a dk but needed ardenweald, it was not superior and in fact was one of the most hated features
are you for real
perhaps i got baited, cant believe it
Surely the dramatic decline of WoW during Shadowlands, which occurred during a pandemic when everyone was at home, was not at all a fault of what Preach was claiming about the covenant system and other design choices that Blizzard have acknowledged were bad since then. Surely it was something else xD

No hug for you
Getting bored of the game that fast is just bizarre to me but to each their own. I like to see how far I can push as far as my mythic score, iLvl, heroic raid, achievements, etc.
you’re late to the party for climbing M+, gl if ur a dps, youll need it
