Why is there only 25-30 hours of content

Why is there only 25-30 hours of content before you hit the end-game repeatable content?

And it would also help that this small amount of content is not dragged out… and instead could give us something more fulfilling…

Maybe not play 10+ hours a day. By your logic of 30 hours, that is almost quadruple the amount of time you would get from a full 60$ console game.

  1. it’s barely the x.0 patch… every past expansion only had a limited amount of content, some past expansions you could complete the entirety of the x.0 patch content in under 5-10 hours, i.e. cataclysm, where once you hit level 85 there was absolutely nothing left to do except repeatable end game content…

So 25-30 hours for just Shadowlands’ 9.0 patch excluding it’s repeatable endgame content is a hell of a lot longer in comparison to some past expansions.

  1. I’ve paid a hell of a lot more for other PC games whose story can literally be completely finished in under 5 hours (i.e. the call of dooty and battlefield franchises).

25-30, if that’s what it is, is very solid for a full normal game. This isn’t even the full game of Shadowlands, we got a whole year or more of patch content ahead of us. This is just chapter one, so that’s pretty good.

Plus we’re about over two months in now. Even with timegating this is a natural point to hit the break period while we wait for the next patch. No content lasts forever.

Considering some games only give you 4 to 6 hours and this is just the first patch . That is great

No MMO really delivers endless amount of content.
The quality of WoW’s '‘content’ is pretty sub par and they stretch it out to get the most of it. They rely heavily on their raid schedule and season stuff… that’s just how it’s always been.

They could of made it 40-50 hours if they just made quest drops like vanilla. SMH when will you learn Blizz

Depends on the console game.

It’s not 25-30 hours if you see the entire story and do all 4 covenant campaigns.

Cause they wasted their time with Torghost.

You’d probably enjoy the $60 game a great deal more, though.

But… you paid 45 bucks for SL, then 30 bucks in subs so far, and probably another 45 waiting for 9.1 (I would guess)… then thats another 20 hours of content, then what… 5 months to 9.2? so… another 75 bucks for the next 20 hours.

Comparing it to a AAA console title without a sub is not a fair comparison.

I don’t know how you got 25-30 hours out of it before starting the repeatable content.

18

pretty sure it took me way more than 25-30 hours to complete all the main + optional storylines.
(and there’s still one i still haven’t completed yet)

i’m going to go out on a limb, and guess that you haven’t actually done them, which is why you’re posting on an alt.

why are you even here?
didn’t you quit over a moral objection to the China thing?

Because Activision-Blizzard want to increase player engagement. Are you not engaged?

25-30 hours is shockingly large in an MMO for an expansions non repeatable content tbh.
