These dungeons are horrible btw. Like so bad that I barely want to even play M+.
If tier wasn’t an issue for PvP I wouldn’t even be doing 5 mans.
Dragonflight feels more hyped than anything since WoD (We didn’t know).
I’m excited, sorry that you aren’t.
There’s zero chance they just add shado-pan monastery or whatever and don’t update it.
They already talked about updating the mobs and the loot, and they’ve been pretty good with m+ design the last 3 expansions.
DF will also have tier sets in season 1, Ion confirmed that. Also, we don’t know what the affix will be yet, so hard to say it’s better or worse.
And on top of that, they’re changing everything about everything, so game will be as fresh as it’s been in a long time.
I agree. I was never playing this game for story, and it sounds like they are adding/changing quite a bit about the game itself. That could be good, and it could be bad.
I’m always nervous about how my favorite classes are going to play/perform. So I have no real good feelings until it’s out and I have a good idea of which class looks the most fun to play.
I have played day 1 of launch as well and SL was the only expansion I wasn’t hyped for (not saying I hate SLs but just didn’t get my normal hype when it was announced like I normally did). But this next one I am super stoked for.
Dragonflight looks to be an amazing expansion. I personally have not been this excited since Legion.
I just hope the crushing weight of shadowlands season 4 doesn’t kill me off first.
BfA seasons were 20 weeks. Shadowlands has had 28 and 32. We’re currently on week 8 of season 3, so we have 12-24 weeks of season 3 left and 20-32 weeks of season 4. So somewhere between 32 and 56 weeks away. So Dec 6 (absolute earliest) to May 23, 2023.
Given how slow shadowlands has been, and how they haven’t opened up preorders yet, my guess is it’s closer to the latter.
Underwhelming

It’s just that it’s painfully, excruciatingly obvious that the new woke devs have about a quarter of the talent that the devs who brought us expansions like Wrath of the Lich King. and Legion.
It’s how to train your dragon with recent art graphic arts designers.
Most folks will be playing FFXIV or ESO

I’ve said it before it feels like a new patch not an expansion. Fewer dungeons check, trivial feature like train a dragon like pokapuc that was a waste of time
Oh look, I was right.
I’m not hype for it, but I am looking forward to it. It’s okay to not be hyped about things. If anything, hype only damages your enjoyment in the long run. Suffering is derived from expectations not meeting reality. Remember how hyped people were for Cyberpunk 2077?

Personally, I was far more hyped for DF, then I was either SL or WoD.
I am excited for my dragon boi. And that we are going back to high fantasy instead of “CHAMPION! We have to save the world once again!”

Pretty much. All the hype is just marketing.
I don’t care about marketing, I care about how the actual game plays and we’re nowhere near having any solid idea about how the important stuff (to me at least) will turn out.
Like Evokers are gunna be a Dragon-based class. Cool, will they be fun to play? We have no idea and we won’t know basically until beta launches and we get to actually play them.
Setting expectations based on marketing material can only lead to disappointment.
Legion was bad, it only looks good because WoD and bfa were bad.
Honestly wotlk was really bad, almost everyone who I raided with at the time hated the systems added in it. It rode the tbc hype and made everyone feel good at the game by lowering the difficulty of 5mans and raids.
So many of my friends, both ingame, irl and friends of friends despised legion for the systems added and the overall butchering of the lore, replicating the same thing that was bad about wrath. Just because a raid or pvp is good doesn’t mean the game is good. I don’t mean that as a casual player, I only raid and used to push top 15-20US. Not great but good enough to say raiding was big for me.
To me, logging in and doing a goal is great, I choose to do it when I want to do it based on how much of a priority it is to me. I dislike logging in and feeling like if I miss a single day I’ve ruined my power progression, or I missed out.
Legion had randomized legendaries and imbalanced specs became viable based on legendary luck.
Wrath had forced heroic dungeons and multiple raid difficulties, you needed the base tier from badges to upgrade it with raid tokens. The first tier of wrath was so simple people called it “casual king”. Ulduar was nothing special but was regarded with great hype as being amazing. It was better than naxx/malygos for sure, but it was far from good. It wasn’t hard, most of the hard modes were minor changes minus the last 3 bosses who had mechanics that made some classes useless.
ToC introduced the catch up gear overflow and the badge tier set. Prior only 2pieces were purchasable in addition to drop from raids, with ToC they became vender only and raids dropped too few badges to buy them with so you needed to do the daily heroics. This continues to ICC and Cata until dragonsoul.
WoW needs to go back and increase progression paths but without forcing any.
If someone wants to raid and earn tier they can, if they quest they can earn a tier like set aswell, same as with pvp. They should be exclusive to eachother but with the ability to convert to another for extra cost with requirements to unlock the progression. This enables all enjoyers to progress and do what they enjoy while allowing then to dabble in other areas aswell.
I think rift had a good system with world events daily that earned tokens to purchase gear, while raiding earned you more tokens faster due to limited content , with a weekly maximum cap

They had me at talent trees!
the trailer was boring but that don’t mean anything. look at mop. i really did not like mop trailer and thought that pandas would ruin the game for me. turns out mop just might of possibly beat out wotlk for the best xpac.
so give dragonflight a chance. i want more people in this game. more people = more immersion which in turn = more groups and so on.
i wish people would get out of their contrary moods and boost this. if wow dies i will die inside.
its the first expansion im hype for since legion
