Wow. I have never been so disappointed in an expansion. It's barely been a year, and essentially all the content that was going to come out has come out, with an official statement that the expansion is over. What happened? How did you manage to only create two raids? 2.5 if you count Highmaul, which honestly feels more like the bone you threw us with Trial of the Crusader back in Wrath. This expansion was marketed as a return to Outlands, with a twist: back in time before the Legion appears. We got to meet the legendary leaders of the orc clans, even Thrall's parents. It was very Horde-centric but that's to be expected in an expansion filled with orcs. The Shadowmoon Valley quest chain was lovely. But unfinished. What is Vindicator Yrel's big, dark secret? It must be something dramatic for Prophet Valen to mention it, yet it never shows up on the lore again. Are you trying to force people into buying your other produce just so they can feel like the story comes to a close? Or is it your plan to bring Yrel into the next expansion and do a big reveal there? In which case, it feels like you're creating one batch of content for the price of two expansions. With Blackrock Foundry, you gave us our first real raid, with equivalent tier. With Hellfire Citadel, you gave us our second. Where are the other, smaller raids and Dungeons? Why are there only 6 Dungeons, and 3 raids? Did everyone leave your development team? Are you just trying to push people into your other games? Have you given up on WoW? I am just so frustrated with how things are turning out compared to how they have been. Where I previously quit the game because my raiding schedule to stay on top was too intense, now I feel life quitting because there's nothing to do. Now I spend more time running around doing old content, because those areas were rather creative and have very interesting gear sets and mounts. What gear and mounts do we get? I think there are at least 4 boars with the same model but different colour. Another 4 boars with armor that are recolours of each other. The Blackrock Foundry tier was lovely for plate and cloth wearers. Hellfire Citadel makes me want to cry. Have you seen the Monk tier? My undead female looks like she got out of bed and threw on some rags she had from before she died. Why does the PvP honor gear look like the lfr gear? Why does the elite conquest gear look like raid tier? I'm not even going to go into Ashran and what has become of it. It really should have been a large-scale BG that required even numbers before it could launch, with a timer for an end time. Didn't have to be short, give players an hour to complete daily quests, and if they don't finish, they can always requeue. It feels like they really dropped the ball this expansion. It was so full of promise and hope, but Guldan is still around, the Legion is still poised to invade, and it sounds like we'll have to pay to do anything about it. So much for conclusive ends to expansions. That ended with the deaths of Arthas and Deathwing. Now we have another dragonflight going crazy with no reason or even any attention given, and is causing time rifts to occur. Sorry Bronzes, guess we're killing you next, especially since the Emerald Dream isn't an option. So many raids that could have been, and yet will likely never see the light of day.
I sincerely hope the developers can pull themselves out of this disaster they've created, but until shown some shreds of evidence, I will remain pessimistic. This blizzcon may be my last. Here's hoping for some good news.
