What did warlords of draenor do wrong?

trying again, what did that expansion do wrong? was it the garrisons solely or the lack of content? they cut out 2 entire islands, the ogre island and farahlon. all we got was 1 big patch after release, absolute rubbish

There were rumors of internal conflict in Blizzard resulting in one team leaving.

an entire team leaving? fired or working on something else?

>the lack of content
that. it was great until you ran out of stuff to do which left people with nothing but the garrison treadmill. at least that's how I remember it. I'm sure class balance and abilities were "terrible."

Except for the slog that was Garrison's, the expansion was pretty good (by wow standards). As previously mentioned there was a lot of end game shit cut off, which would've made it a great expansion. And khadgar was the best thing out of it all

everything you listed and more? the raids being good was the only reason it held together at all.

Most were shifted to work on OW if I remember correctly. Some old timers simply retired.

>worst expansion in terms of history
>in a game where the gameplay and social aspects are basically nonexistent

the legendary questline was pretty good, grind aside. khadgar was pretty entertaining, and him having the staff of medivh was better than med'an.
blackrock foundry was really good, hellfire was fun too but it was too much green and way too early. we barely got a taste of the iron horde!

>we barely got a taste of the iron horde!
look at all these old important characters we brought back!- and now they're dead

Going back to fucking Outland AGAIN.
Alternate timeslines are always, 100% of the time, garbage and unfun.

The ides of the Garrison by itself was fucking dumb. When they first presented it it sounded more like homes the way Wildstar had, and not Facebook tier bullshit that invalidated every gather profession you have.

Cho-Gall entering the Imperator fight was pure kino.
Blackhand fight was really great thematically. Fast, aggressive and brutal like the boss himself.

shame that cho'gall never came into the fight on non mythic modes. non mythic raiders dont even know what happens to him after the quests in nagrand. blackhand fight was a lot of fun, i remember wiping on it for 6 hours with my guild on heroic with shitty gear

Where was the fucking Shattrath raid

>cut farahlon
>cut ogre origin island
>made two giant capital cities for both horde and alliance proceeds to make them just useless background pieces and puts capitol for both factions on an island made from garrison assets
>cut everything they had planned for zangar see
>changed the entirety of gorgrond a few weeks before launch making it no longer about doomhammer and blackhand
>doomhammer then proceeds to get bitchslapped to death by blackhand without any buildup
>make story about time travel and pussy out instantly deciding its dimension travel instead because they had no clue what to do with the consequences
>garrosh who has been build up for 4 expansions and was final raid boss in the previous one gets beat in a cutscene you have no influence in
>thrall is bald now because metzen was going through midlife crisis
>remove entire content patch which was supposed to focus on yrel and the siege of shattrath cut because they thought giving us two raids based on orcs in a row would be boring IN AN EXPANSION ABOUT NOTHING BUT ORCS
>cut story arc in which bladefist survises the arena and shows up in final raid
>cut story arc in which nerzhul shows up again in final raid
>turned tanaan jungle into worse version of timeless isle instead of the ferocious jungle it was supposed to be
>cut questline to get legendary gorehowl and gorefiends staff
>instead gave us kadghars fetchquest extravaganza
>option to move garrison to different zones removed
>final boss of the expansion was supposed to be grommash
>cut for lore they pulled out of their ass instead
>entire expansion is just glorified filler so they could asspull guldan to raise the tomb of sageras

TL;DR
>they promised us everything and gave us nothing

gone like the wind

bum

>First patch after being starved for content.
>It's the selfie patch.
Thanks Blizzard you lazy cunts.

>what did that expansion do wrong?
Its not that particular expansion, its the whole game and the team behind it in general.
They completely lost touch with their entire playerbase.
Story a mess, retconning everything, ruining several races while ignoring others, killing off major characters offscreen or making them brainless dungeon bosses, turning the game into a facebook game, flying mounts for everybody, mounts in general given away like candy, cash shop, pay2win, raids and dungeons finished in mere minutes, open world questing ruined, nobody groups since they game was casualized to hell and back, quality of life changes that nobody wanted.
The list goes on and on and on. At this point the only ones playing retail WoW are either the most diehard fans that know all these flaws but put up with it, roasties, casuals and zoomers that try it out for a day or two before switching to fortnite again.

It's funny but that was the last patch I had fun in this game. The jungle was a cool place for wpvp.

You should not be asking where it went wrong, you should be asking why anybody should be playing this game any longer in the first place.

not enough elves

>The jungle was a cool place for wpvp.
That is just one glimpse of what WoW used to be. You try to find comfort in the smallest attractions or find excuses yet you know the game is gutted beyond repair.
People used to play WoW and enjoyed every part of it, not one single very small part of it. From level 1 to level 60.
I mean it even went worse, wpvp is also completely ruined nowadays.

It was unironically better than bfa

O' boi, that pile of shit used to be better than that other pile of shit.

WoD was actually a decent expansion if you started playing it in 6.2. Without the awful launch, lack of .0 content, and lmao twitter integration as a major feature, it's pretty fun

No its not, its shit and everybody knows it. Unless you're a blizzdrone or a shill.

Warlords gave us gladiator stance then took it away from us. That was the biggest sin

yep

I stopped playing at Cata what was Gladiator Stance

You guys just want porn

it was a talent that made protection warrior into dps if you wanted to. was a lot of fun to play

Nah the whole expac was crap through and through. The only good thing about it was shadowmoon valley, probably the best zone they ever made.

Yes.

A DPS stance for Prot Warriors which let you be a sick shieldwielding DPS guy. It was awesome, somewhat poorly implemented but it was amazing and I loved it.

sauce on pic?

where's the bolgy wolgy

The expansion more or less got abandoned after launch, with half the team going to OW and the other half going to Legion, hence why the content was stretched out, a lot of content was missing, and a lot of the story went undeveloped.

judging by the lighting i'd wager it is made by someone or something
