They brought Chris Metzen with his powerful shovel hands to pull the udders even harder to get every last drop out.WoW is still going on? how much can they milk out of people?
Or they just hid the model transition in the mounting animation?I've managed to get up to Fyrakk on normal PUGs. Will get him tomorrow.
I was surprised by the penultimate boss fight. I knew about the dragonflying segment (which was neat), but I was surprised that the boss seemlessly flew to another platform, and it didn't seem like the devs pulled the usual trick of phasing different copies of the NPC. They must've really upgraded their tech.

Yes, and dragonriding is slower in the old world because they don't want players to go fast.
Not because any technical issues or problems with loading or popin, you can just go fuck yourself.
It's about double. People are whining over nothing. Blizzard bad at giving reason. Nothing new on either side.Yes, and dragonriding is slower in the old world because they don't want players to go fast.

Still is pretty fast though, 80% of the current top speed is still above the taxi speed I believe.
I firmly believe catch up gear is a primary rot in the game. Waaaaaayyy too many resources go into that nonsense. All they need to do is crank up the drop rate of previous content to create catch up gear. If players knew they could complete an old raid and have a drop from nearly every boss they would do that. Same with whatever scam M+ has for loot.The catch-up gear is much appreciated, but I have a lot to catch-up on between the raid and the new dungeon pool. I can already hear the screeching from the totem boss of Ataldazar. Personally, I enjoyed all of BFA’s dungeons, and I am looking forward to Waynecrest Manner again. That said, those dungeons had so many ways to kill the run.
Then why can you move at 100% in Dragonflight? Because the zones were made for it? The Classic zones were never made with flying in mind, even with Cataclysm.It's about double.

Likewise, I viewed catch-up gear as rot in the past, but I have since softened my stance in Dragonflight. Gear is not what it used to be. Rather than a reward for more difficult content, gear greases the wheels for mid or more casual players to overcome content (i.e., allows for more mistakes). Meanwhile, higher-skilled players pressed ahead with 20s mythic+ and heroic/mythic raids without it (there are exceptions - trinkets, etc., or in the context of RWF). The great divider is mythic+ rating and achievements more so than gear. While this may be an issue unto itself, it allows two very different playerbases to move at their own pace.I firmly believe catch up gear is a primary rot in the game.

Well, Odyn wasn't a punching bag back in the Legion days either. He only became one now.Odyn was disappointing. The prior Titan Keepers we fought in Ulduar and Ra-den were fearsome warriors with their own cool abilities, but Odyn just autoattacks you and doesn't do anything, and you get him down to 80% HP and then Vyranoth interrupts your duel and snaps her fingers to freeze Odyn.
So what's the new thread title for this new expansion gonna be? The Desperation Within (Blizzard's Offices)???

The current meme title for TWW floating around on the official forums and MMO-Champion is Warthin, since people have noticed that this will be the second expansion in a row with little content of substance. Four questing zones, and then you hit level cap and there will be nothing to do but speedrun the current raid and half dozen dungeons over and over. I'm not sure how much longevity Delves will add to the game.

It sounds like they're just another iteration of either MoP scenarios or BFA Island Expeditions, or more Zskera Vaults. Either way that's bitesized content and probably won't have the longevity to keep people subbed year round.Serious question because delves are the most significant change to the game since Legion.
I agree with you, but that sounds primarily related to reward design and eliminating catch up gear, rather than a content quantity complaint.What would you need to see to feel differently?So what's the new thread title for this new expansion gonna be? The Desperation Within (Blizzard's Offices)???

The game needs to be more than just the current patch, more than just the latest raid and half a dozen dungeons.
In classic, the game isn't just the latest patch, Naxxramas. You progress through Molten Core to Blackwing Lair to Zul'Gurub to Ahn'Qiraj and then to Naxxramas.
Mists of Pandaria kept the earlier expansion raids relevant by having your farm them to progress the legendary questline. Even when you outgeared Terrace of the Endless Spring, you still needed to do it to get Sigils of Power to progress the questline. Same with Throne of Thunder for the Secrets of the Empire drops.

Haven't paid for any Blizzard product since the launch of WoW token.Reading you talking about the nulore is really fascinating. It's been a total mess for many expansions and yet, here you are. Trying to find something interesting in this pile of shit, just for the sake of the good old times.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprise to see some diehard fans willing to suck some dicks in exchange for one good moment in the trash cutscenes thrown between two dumb quests.
Old (world of)warcraft fans are just the ultimate crackwhores of the gaming world.
Also fuck you for giving some shekels to Blizzard.
