Leveling and storyline were better in Warlords than Shadowlands, imo. I liked how I got to cboose where I wanted to go, which storyline in the zone I wanted to do, etc.
Not to me. I found it boring and dull. Also: everyone had to play through it once.
It had a better leveling experience, better storyline, choice of storylines, choice of zones, garrisons, a legendary questline and better PvP.
Warlords of Dreanor. The only time I let my sub lapse.
Itâs not even fair, they cut so much from it. The content that was there was great imo. The leveling experience was wonderful, plenty of interesting lore and the raids were cool. Plus the classes were not completely deconstructed at that point.
But yeah⌠it was super bare bones.
Rather have a little bit of fun stuff to do than a lot of boring things.
I mean picking your own zone and following that story is present in shadowlandsâŚand bfaâŚand legionâŚI mean wow did it first sureâŚbut does first mean best in this case?
I think people focus on what was cut and not what we had. Though, some are looking more end game, too.
Of the ones Iâve played, definitely SL.
It even has the burger king crown to top off the amount of lore it broke and ruined
I loved that bfa started back to alliance vs the horde.
What I didnât like about bfa was that I felt the nazjatar patch and the nyalotha patches deserved their own expansions
It isnt. Threads of fate is a few side quests and some world quests. Thatâs not choosing my zone to do storylines and choose which storyline in the zone, as well. Each zone had two different storylines depending on which building you chose.
I also never once mentioned BfA or Legion. Both of which were also entirely different from ToF.
Alliance vs horde was a fun kick back: but thent he new gen flower holders went 'we want peace not war!"
.> but its called warcraftâŚ
LOVE AND HUGS AND ALLIANCE AND HORDE FRIENDS FORVER!
ButâŚthe nameâŚ
Itâs bay far my favorite zone.
Design wise my tier list is
Maldraxxus
Ardenweald
ZM
Korthia
Bastion(itâs way to bright)
Revendreth
We fight wars with a lot more than each other. Itâs not PvPcraft.
the fact that WOD is being defended only shows that in 5+ years, SL will receive the same praise
the cycle repeats as Nozdormu would say
No it wonât. Because Warlords problem was cut content. Shadowlands problem was bad content.
cut content or notâŚthe expansion sucked⌠
i was here during those times, hbu? your opinion was not the norm iâll tell you that much.
and i disagree, SL had much more to do - and the content was fine. Torghast, the M+ dungeons, Fated raidsâŚall of these were successes imo
Probably SL. It just felt too much on rails. Honorable mention to Cata ⌠I just didnât like it.
For me it would have to be Shadowlands, hands down.
I thought it was a really bad idea from the start. The afterlife should stay mysterious and you certainly shouldnât be able to kill stuff there. Thatâs just weird. Iâm still really surprised whoever pitched that idea wasnât immediately shot down by the other writers and developers.
donât forget that they ruined characters like elune and sylvanas.
WoW hasnât had an overall good xpac since MoP. WoD had good pvp and good questing/leveling. Everything since has been hot garbage.
I believe it isnât possible for Blizz to ever produce something that, all things considered, has a more negative impact on the game than Shadowlands.
This is the most overly ambitious, utter and complete failure of an expansion. It destroyed the story and lore not only of the present iteration of the game, but for the game as a whole. Everything story wise from pre-wow to present-day is irreparably destroyed now, and everything going forward will only be a fever dream. It wonât seem real, as there is nothing left to even build on. RIP the heart of WoW.
Even aside from the inhumane butchering the game took during SL, it canât even make the claim that it was fun, because it wasnât. It was a tedious headache from the beginning all the way through to the end.
You couldnât really do that when you first leveled in WoD. You needed to do all the quests to level up. Later, after they lowered the amount of xp it took to level, you could skip around as you pleased.
