I’ve been pretty vocal on the forums about my disdain for BFA pretty much after the first AoC was over, but what’s been your guys’ favorite part?
Personally for me the only part of BFA I 100% enjoyed was the opening cinematic. Whether you’re horde or alliance, when Sylvanas seemingly turned the tide of a very grim looking fight for the horde by risking herself and pushing to the front lines / destroying an entire siege tower by herself and shouting “For the horde!” it invoked a lot of emotions. That and Saurfang completely brushing off being pin cushioned and charging forward with the horde flag in hand got me so excited for the expansion. I watched the cinematic hundreds of times.
Daughter of the sea, even as a horde purist since vanilla, that song is top knotch amazing.
The scenery of the game is amazing, probably the best out of all the expansions so far in my opinion. Drustvar’s spookiness is great.
The new variety of mounts was pretty cool.
I think that’s one of the reasons I’ve been so vocal about how much I hate it. It’s the first expansion that finally focused on horde vs. alliance after 15 damn years and it turned out to be garbage.
I’m enjoying it quite a bit myself. Our guild 3/4th cleared MC today on our first “guild” run with 25-ish people 1-2 shotting all the bosses. Pretty pumped.
Good point, the landscape definitely is the best so far. Drustvar’s spooky vibe was really awesome. I honestly wish the whole zone was like that and not just a small half. ;(
I highly disagree with mecha. Probably my least favorite zone in the game. Some supposed legendary island but It’s literally just a garbage dump? I feel like they could have put more into it somehow… I did enjoy naz quite a bit though, even though it was difficult to traverse.
I’m glad it’s almost over. Hear me out.
Expansions since Activision bought out Blizzard:
WotLK Good
Cata Bad
MoP Good
WoD Bad
Legion Good
BFA Bad
Next expansion should be good.
Activision’s business model of holding WoW subscribers has been they need to at least be competent every OTHER expansion. So next one should be good.
Yeah, I would be that optimistic if things like 6 month contract lock in mounts weren’t put in before every quarterly report, toys being added to the cash shop, a new recruit a friend pyramid scheme, all the people they fired, all the core members that made Blizzard leaving, etc…
War Mode was a great feature. I can play on PvP realm when I do want some world PvP action, and opt out if I need to do some chores. It’s not the same as tagging yourself on a PvE realm, because in WM you get phased only with people who opted in too and it’s essentially a PvP realm rules on demand.
I liked it, but the non-stop alliance complaining / crying about it to the point that Blizzard gave them free end game raiding gear for 8 weeks in a row and all sorts of other unfair buffs was really stupid in my opinion.
