everything has been going wrong for 12 years

>Announce expansion at Blizzcon
>95% of announcements are bare minimum additions like new zones, updated models, etc.
>The 5% that wasn't bare minimum is glossed over like the 'Totally not Grifts' dungeon>Story is in the shitter so can't even get excited for that
>Afterwards go completely silent about the expansion for six months
It's gonna be bad and everybody knows it, we're just waiting to see how bad it truly is.

>Story is in the shitter

Understatement of the fucking century. I genuinely have no fucking idea what's going on anymore. WoD of all expansions made more sense.

Two filler expansions in a row

wod wasnt filler but legion and bfa were?

>mary sue: the expansion
only hardcore blizzdrones will play this, people who have invested so much time in wow they can't quit

Wod and bfa were filler exps, Legion wasn't. Shadowlands is therefore the second filler in a row.

>selling point is 4 different azerite grinds, one of which is going to be blatantly optimal so when you pick wrong at the start of the expansion (75% chance of this) you have to grind more

If companies like Bethesda, Riot and Valve weren't trying to hard to fail Blizzard would be singled out as the worst developer alive & go bankrupt.

they used to skip a beat every other xpac but to step up for the next one, but BFA and shadowland seem to be headed in the same garbage pile

Bfa was filler, Legion felt like it finish the main story of the burning legion.

their biggest "new " features for the expansion is rep grinds and abilities they removed 3-5 xpacks before.
they have nothing.

>Legion felt like it finish the main story of the burning legion.

In a retarded way no one fucking wanted. The last thing I ever wanted to see in WoW was fucking spaceships straight out of Star Trek firing laser beams everywhere, holy shit.

Diversity killed the game

High elves
Blood elves were a dumb idea ESPECIALLY if you just give the Alliance a discount version later on

The game director is a corporate lawyer whose only credentials are an excel spreadsheet proving that an encounter is impossible.

The development team is insistent on systematizing everything. Game systems and content are synonymous in the WoW dev team.

What little effort put into the game is weighted heavily towards pump-and-dump raids and dungeons with 4 different levels of difficulty. All development and art teams are put into developing this content instead of the world. It might as well be called Instance of Warcraft.

Because raiding and mythic dungeons are the only content worth doing, people raid log. To combat this, instead of making other content viable or interesting to do, they force players to do content they don't want to do. They gauge how "good" content is by participation metrics, despite the fact that metric is blind to player enjoyment.

Devs are stubborn about keeping bad changes still in the game. Titanforging was rehashed into corruption. Gear is no longer just gear, they are trying way too hard to turn an MMORPG into an ARPG. Bad decisions are defended by Ion who uses his lawyer-speak to dodge the question.

There's a whole host of other issues, but that's just the start of it.

The best way I can describe the story in BFA was like if you told a handful of writers to make a book, but none of them are allowed to talk to each other until after the final story is published.

High Elves are never happening.

Radio silence and it it its like 8 9 months till the prepatch, why the fuck would there be hype now?

I imagine with the new character customization coming in Shadowlands they will give Blood Elves the option to choose blue eyes. Hence, no high elf race for the alliance

I doubt they will do that considering both High Elf leaders are Alliance.

WoW classic has more raiders despite the raids being piss easy and loot is harder to come by. The only people still addicted to retail are the ones that mythic raid or/and do pvp, but with each new expansion they make those two experiences worse with shitty grinds and adding more randomness to the loot. Everyone was excited for titanforging to leave but what they've replaced it with is even worse. There's no hope left for this game because devs don't listen to the community.

High Elves will happen once their subs start dying at a phenomenal rate.

High Elves are a last ditch effort.

>MUH BLUE EYED BLOOD ELVES
Nigga you just want an alliance blood elf.

Someone post the pic with the sylvanas cuck lead writer that self inserts as Nathanos. You know the one

Just kill them off. Like Varian and the troll dude.

>literally nobody can talk shit about Shadowlands proposed changes
>absolute kino environments and bespoke BC design
>unpruning all the classes and giving them back their depth
>fixing gear with no more azerite/essences/corruption bullshit
>Blizzard taking their sweet time with the alpha because it'll be done when it's ready

It's going to be the greatest expansion since Wrath and Yas Forums will do nothing but seethe at the realization.
You will ALL resub for it.

So... is the Scourge going to sweep across the land now as foretold by King Menethil? Or are we forgetting about that?

Ummmmmmmm the lich king's helmet controlled them all and they all died when it broke

prepatch will either be that or they will just forget it

>weebshit
right on schedule
I'm still not playing your 2.5sec gcd game

Wait really?

>Muh dead

And they'll somehow unnecessarily retcon the following: Plague of undeath being of alchemical origin; Origin of the Scourge, Lich king's demonic armor and their powers; Odyn and Northrend's Valkyr, and we'll still see MUH TITANS shoved balls deep in the realms of the dead somehow; The emerald dream being a replica of Azeroth and being a spiritual well now has to suddenly deal with yet another spiritual realm; A million already dead characters being retconned into oblivion and shitting up assholes like Daelin or Garithos or cool guys like Uther while adding literal whos nobody cares.

What game? What are you talking about?

Meh, I would have cared, but I dropped WoW hard the day AAU came out and haven't looked back because I'm just having way more fun. I'm playing it until one of the new MMOs that comes out is good.

The pre-patch is basically that The Lich King's Helm was never actually needed to control the Undead.
Bolvar found a way around it and Azeroth sends him, his champions and the Player Characters into The Shadowlands.

This comes on the coattails of Sylvanas trying to send Nathanos to kill Bwonsamdi which leads into Bwonsamdi's dungeon in Shadowlands.

It's even more astounding that they still make new players go and take the time to unlock them. When shadowlands releases they'll be 2 expansions old at that point, what's the fucking point to locking races of all things behind reputations?

Wow content creation has really gone downhill huh

Even the biggest retards are finally noticing WoW is shit. It will last another decade anyways.

WoW and "kino" haven't been in the same galaxy as each other since Wrath. Neck yourself please.

keep dreaming

Legion was the last decent expansion and would have been a perfect ending to the series.

in other words
>why do you need burgers when you have a stake

>only crystal man cares
Actually he stopped mentioning the sword being plunged into Azeroth after Legion.

He legit doesn't give a shit about the sword. He even sends you to the Shadowlands using Azeroth's power. Which also means The Titans can open portals to The Shadowlands at will.

Which also means that Sargeras and Kil'jaeden have no reason to make The Frozen Throne or The Helm of Damnation into portal/key to The Shadowlands. Especially when they can open a fucking portal to the Shadowlands whenever they want lmao.

>wrath baby thinks wrath was 'Kino'
Kill yourself along

Keep grinding, goy

Is your artifact power maxed? No? Then you have content to do :)

>Oy gevalt, fire the developers and game designers! Do you have any idea how expensive they are?!?!?! It cuts into muh profits, oy vey! Muh profits!
>The gamers are retarded shitgoyim, they won't even notice the drop in quality and content!

Well, we did.

>All development and art teams are put into developing this content instead of the world. It might as well be called Instance of Warcraft.
That was the inevitable endgame for WoW and any MMO based upon it.

>shadowbringers
>edgy
What's edgy about saving a post apocalyptic world?

>Which also means The Titans can open portals to The Shadowlands at will
Is just female titans like Azeroth, you shitlord.
