I’m waiting to hear and see more via alpha, etc. It’s still early. I think they’re focusing on core game aspects that can be carried forward. I keep hearing language that they want to add features that don’t become irrelevant and can be pan-expansion, rather than developed then dumped later. I’m all for that. I do feel like I’ve heard less about specific expansion-based “to do’s” - but a lot of people complained about these aspects and wanted a heavier focus on the open world, etc.
So I’m still optimistic. We still have more to learn but I’d also be satisfied with a fleshed out version of what we’ve already learned, even if more ‘features’ didn’t come with.
I played FF14 during 95% of Shadowlands.
Barely re-subscribed the other day. Not because FF14 is boring by any means–.just got the itch to log on and goof around.
Maybe you could do that, too, in Dragonflight?
If not–what are some things you want in-game that is fun for you?
Also–the expansion isn’t even in Alpha, yet.
We barely know the title of it.
Why do you expect Blizzard to have the full 10.0 patch notes, and every profession change, class change, talent change, future patch notes, secrets, NPC changes, raid changes–already listed and available for play?
Jesus. It’s not even going to be available for like around a year or longer. Maybe a little shorter?
Like…be patient and learn with the rest of us.
Blizzard isn’t going to divulge the entire expansion a year early. They are simply listing some of the larger concepts they are working on.
Like…what do you want?

There you go attacking race/class combos, yet again.
Find another hill to die upon.
Please feel free to unsubscribe if you’re so unhappy that others are enjoying the game.
I don’t think we have enough information to say there are no extra features nor class flavor. I think with a year out before release, more things will get known to have an idea what is all in the expac.
I’m glad to see the extra systems gone though. Good riddance.

That was not what you asked.
You asked: ‘Where has their manpower been redirected?’
And that is my answer.
As to your revamped question:
Four new zones of content
Eight new dungeons
Eight legacy dungeons recast for M+
(Probably at least three new raids although I don’t remember any mention of even one)
The usual PvP play but with the begged-for WoD gearing
One new race with their own new starter zone of content
One new class to learn and experience
Learning and experiencing dragonflight
Getting the items for and customizing your dragon
Playing with various builds in your talent trees
Learning and using the new profession system
Earning renown/rep
Hunting down grey and white gear for transmog
Trying out the new nonsensical race/class combos
If you are trying to say that next to the last couple of expansion, it is stripped down, I agree. But removing the gratuitous busywork was going to do that.
But if you compare just additions and/or individual activities to the original expansions, it’s pretty on par.
Personally, if I wasn’t so mad about the further ruination of immersion, RP and lore due to the last three on my original list, I would be excited for a more adventure-centric, less power progression focused, expansion.
But that’s me.
I haven’t been able to make myself watch two internet-public personalities I just don’t like in one video.

Idk how anyone could be excited for anything revealed so far. Straight Nyquil pills.
Someone please answer this.
And the way those two were announced were different. And at different times. They were just months before the expacs’ releases. This is not.
There’s a casual, open-world progression system coming in later. It just hasn’t gotten a deep dive yet.
Also people HATED all the systems in BFA and Shadowlands, how is a return to the more basic “new zones/dungeons/raids/talents/etc” seen as a BAD thing?

OP doesn’t know anything. They are complaining to complain and clearly have an agenda. I’m done with this thread.

This has been a refreshing change. Instead of showing us a bunch of stuff that may or may not make it into the game they showed what they had ready but still needs work. I am in wait and see mode, while hype can be exciting I want to be firmly grounded and this roll out allows for that.

I’m excited for them too, but it’s not something I’ll need to actively mess with for 99% of the expansion.
Even if you come up with just your favorite picks, once you settle in that’ll be it, unless you’re a serious swap for different boss/st/aoe situations

honestly I would have actually perfered if they announced an expansion with almost nothing new. I would have been ok if they did have the new race/class and instead worked on an expansion that fixed the current game. Tons more customization of characters, events and other stuff that happened in old zones to make the world feel alive. Fixing alot of outdated stuff. I feel that they think they always gotta have new stuff which takes time away from fixing stuff.
Dragonflight is though partially doing this with the revamp of talents and hopefully adding more permanent foundations for the game
Yeah people hated the systems but most of them (as shown in this thread, I’m not talking about you tho) can’t even express the reason they hate them. Because 99% of GD can’t think in depth on anything.
The issue with all these systems is they’re not player/alt friendly. They all discourage you from playing more than 1 spec and character. But instead of just saying that, we’ve got a bunch of clowns saying “no more systems” when EVERY game has systems.
Also, talents are not content. Most of us will follow Wowhead.
New dungeons? Only 4 of the new ones will be available for M+ season 1. Things can change ofc, but thats garbage.
Because they replaced classes being complete. And if GD is that bad of an experience for you, you don’t have to be here.

response. Never said anything about it being a bad experience. It can be funny a lot of times.
That’s not the reason either. Losing them is what pissed people off. Understandable, but that gap would be filled the next expansion.
Now covenant abilities are coming with us.
It absolutely is the reason. Classes started needing all these systems in order to function well in content.
I don’t mind covenant abilities coming with us. But for Warrior, I liked Odyn’s Fury and execute phase better than banner, spear or condemn. If they are gonna drag anything from the systems, let it be the Legion stuff for Warrior.

You hated them because they discouraged alting/experimentation and you knew we’d lose them next expansion.
Classes “needing them to function well in content” makes no sense. We should remove tier sets then.
That’s part of it. But also my class felt incomplete. That feeling is the most in between expacs, when we lose everything. Before we get whatever new system comes along. Even Blizz talked about this week how the talent system since MoP made it so they had to supplement power elsewhere.
Tier sets were not systems stacked that became ridiculous.
