I’ve got that 3 free days as well. Is it just for BFA? I was planning on using it for the stress test on the 25th. It’s good until the 28th.
Positively. That seems like a move of good faith to make the date change not look like another money grab. It doesn’t grant access to bfa if you haven’t bought it.
Side note: to me, bfa is a blank firing attachment. It was attached to the barrel of a rifle or machine gun to render the automatic or semi-automatic function operational when firing blanks.
After resisting the temptation to play for a while, I logged back in and leveled to 120. I won’t be logging back in. The end game is the same BS. Repetitive crap and catch up mechanics. No social aspect what so ever. Absolutely toxic community. I am done for good, until classic at least.
Money grabbers, I saw the “buy 6 months of game time, get a free mount” deal. Unbelievable. It seems the $15 a month subscription fee has not completely filled their pockets. How things have changed.
I am not sure what to do until classic. Download and play some games on Xbox game pass? Maybe watch friends reruns on Netflix? Whatever the case, I am excited for August 27th.

Eh, I know how to use mods and I’ve written a few of my own.
Not worried.
Besides, this is actually very consistent behavior for Bethesda. They always blow it whenever they step outside of their comfort zone and try to do something different, only to bounce right back when they go back to what they know.
Nope. No thank you.
For the most part azurite and weapon leveling with artifact power killed the game for me and only played legion for the gold missions plus dozen other reasons below.
1)crafting turned to diablo 3 rng.You spend thousands upon thousands of mats of leather to craft the perfect piece only to have the rest salvaged for mats.
- good majority of classes rotations are too plain without dps booster like they had in mists of pandaria.
3)world quests I hate doing them for azurite power especially when I like to play 5-6 classes
-
the gear that replaced tier sets are most cases trash; another rng aspect from diablo3 of never finding the good piece in a haystack of trash.
-
the boat missions are not worth my time and just a major annoyance
6)constant passive aggressive on the topic of flying,it took them 9 months to release part 2;which equaled at least 7 months unsubbed for me.
-
materials for flasks are way too many items to just get one craft. what is it 20-24 herbs per flask?
-
the game doesn’t feel like a adventure like it was prior to mists of pandaria;it evolved to chorequest.
-
the bosses don’t drop the loot like it did during mists of pandaria plus it stayed the ivl it said the raid was. Currently if you do normal you finally get the epic loot to drop over several weeks of gold bags and it’s pretty but the next guy gets a titanforged that just started first week. So you are like really? this is screwed up everyone should get the same item level in raid.
-
jewelcrafting is pretty much useless since hardly ever see gem slots on gear like the standard 5-6 in mists of pandaria.
-
most of the crafting like blacksmithing,leatherworking,tailoring are just a grindfest using mats at a terrible rate.In classic I had a set I crafted for dragonscale something and it was really good for starting out raiding as a hunter.
-
they turned my adventure game into freaking diablo 3 world of warcraft,it’s not world of Warcraft anymore.
-
the auction house posting of mats are way too much in cost if you want to sell 20 at a time. Over time you will lose all your gold in fees just because they want to remove 1 stacks on mats when they could have easily just made it 20 stack min but no they gouge you even further.

I honestly tried to give 8.2 a chance, but after getting both new zones explored and doing a handful of quests I found myself not playing it.
For now I’ll just play some other handful of games I have in the mean time.
no 8.2 is the least alt friendly patch i have seen because of these essences you have to re grind and the 1980mp for 425 benthic gear for alts.
you can tell its a bad patch because benthic gear is simming better then 440 mythic gear.

I’ve played here and there. I don’t think it’s horrible . Just having a hard time investing the time into it when I know is about 40 days I won’t be playing it. I did play last patch though, but not trying to dive into a patch to leave in a month
Not playing retail at all. I have zero interest in what the game has become. It’s summer, and I’m going outside and doing things. I have played a little Total War: Warhammer 2, but am enjoying less screen time at the moment.
the whole essence thing is so trash that I amazed that someone at blizzard actually approved it. Imagine locking glyphs behind rep grinds which are timegated and aren’t even account shared. Should have been something like mage tower challenges to unlock these essences, better ideas than devs have.

Playing older RPG’s while i wait for server release day. They’ve burned my subscription bridge until then.
I logged into retail today thinking I would gear up my DH. I do enjoy tanking on him. I opened up the map and saw an upgrade from a WQ. Then I was instantly turned off and just logged out.
Not sure why but I just can’t stand retail.

I can give you a reason why. We knew when 8.2 finally came, it would come with yet another rep grind, more WQs and a new zone that is utterly frustrating to traverse without flying, which I won’t have any time soon because I can’t bring myself to care enough to finish it. Mechagon isn’t so bad to move around, but I dont even want to do the quests there. Utter disgust that I am forced to do another grind that should have been done months ago. I will most likely only do Nazjatar when my hubby can fly me around, him getting the rep done earlier this week. He did it angry and cursing the whole time. I have never seen him hate the game so much as when he was doing his Nazjatar quests. And this was a man who played since beta Vanilla (hunter patch), who loved it so much he brought me into it also. We used to try to recruit friends into the game because we loved it so and wanted to share our enthusiasm, but soon stopped somewhere around WoD. Now we only play out of sheer stubboness and with a tiny hope that it will get better. I really don’t believe it will anymore. Point of no return…
We have struggled over the years to justify keep playing, once Cataclysm completely destroyed the old world I so loved. Auberdine gone, Barrens ripped apart, dungeons that got ‘upgraded’ so much so you forgot how they used to be. R.I.P. Ras Frostwhisper and the other old bosses from Scholomance. All the devs do now is recycle (destroy) old content and present it as ‘new content’. Complete bull. Classic can’t come fast enough.

I think I surf the forums way more lately than I actually play BfA. Other than that I level toons below 110 (where I can still fly.)
I have almost got flying unlocked. All I can say is as soon I was revered with wave rep I quit doing them. I’m very close on mechagon and I will drop that one too once I’m revered and unlock flying. Somehow leveling alts is fun until classic.

I have totally given up on the bfa aka retail. Don’t believe I will ever go back even they already sent a free 3 days trial on 8.2. I mostly played last 3 expansions for reputation titles. It is nowadays everyone being forced to be exalted with all new factions for different reasons draw my aim irrelevant. It is same as if everyone is a hero, commander, actually no one is hero. The time gated content, gambling mechanics is just not for me anymore, maybe mobile gamer like them but not me.
