  • Spent the last couple weeks of 2022 playing the World of Warcraft: Dragonflight expansion - so here's my review. Is this a good time to jump in if you've never played WoW before? Is WoW worth playing at all in 2023? I'd say so!
    P.S. lmao I forgot to talk about Dracthyr which I guess exist and are cool I guess but not really my thing

    I'm also a very casual WoW player. I love how I don't feel pressured to do "chores" to be able to progress. I can just login and do whatever I want. I really don't remember the last time I cared this much about the world in World of Warcraft. So far it has been a 9/10 experience for me and I hope Blizz can keep the momentum.

You did a good job describing new systems, upgrades and parts of the expansion, that you like the most. I’m glad that they choose the direction of smaller scale storyline and quests, which makes them more engaging and gives it this cosy atmosphere that you’ve mentioned.

    This expac is good for casuals like my self now. With kids etc and little time. Questing is faster lvling is faster dungeons are fun so is the raid. I'm not able to burn my self out as I log on do some quests lvl alt Farm do a few keys log off etc. The lack of hard rep ie boreghast and renown gating unnecessary like in shadow lands is welcome from me but some of the elite ass hats might think other wise

    After skipping last xpac because of time commitments, this expansion really feels like a breath of fresh air, I really have had the most amazing levelling experience, where the story was fairy engaging and the side quests were just superb in their own way. I loved how it felt like gear upgrades didn't require you to raid, but they have really been spread out across world quests, weeklies, weekly events, mythic +, pvp, professions etc. It feels as if you can really choose how you want to play for once. I also just enjoyed the renown system a lot more, feels more rewarding the old rep grind, with the account wide unlocks and cool little features that I have enjoyed like rock climbing and spear fishing. All in all, most fun I have had in WoW in years, and really friendly to a casual player like me for weekend play. 9.5/10 (Not 10 because the main story was just a tiny bit generic)

    You sum things up very well in your video.
    I myself have been playing WoW for 18 years and have developed a certain love-hate relationship with the game over the years because I've seen way too much crap in the various addons, but Dragonflight is just wonderful and for me the best addon since Lich King 15 years ago, if not the best addon WoW has ever had.
    One more note about the main story. You say yourself that you don't know the lore of WoW, so you probably can't begin to figure out the relevance of things, but that's perfectly fine. In any case, the main story is not over when you have quested through the zones, because the story continues when you have collected enough reputation in the individual factions and that leads to the fact that one continues to deal with the world events.
    On the subject of alt friendliness, everything you unlock with your main char in Dragonflight is automatically unlocked on all your alts, so you basically only have to do everything once and you can skip everything on your alts if you want, but it's fun so you do it anyway.

    I adored WoW from Beta til Cataclysm as a raider, then just dropped off a bit, came back for Legion which was fun, but then BFA and Shadowlands just couldn't grab me as a casual, I always felt like I was missing out. This is making feel like it might finally click.

    • @peen2804
      @peen2804 Год назад

      I’d say give it a go. They’re corrected a lot of the issues from those two expansions in particular. To the point that in my opinion DF feels like an entirely different game compared to the majority of SL as far as the environments and systems surrounding the player are concerned.
      This is coming from someone in a similar boat to you. I loved vanilla through cata/beginning of MoP, then took a break through the end of mop until the mid point of BFA. I actively disliked BFA and SL lost me far before 9.1 ever came out.
      DF has been a great experience so far and continues to be a few months in. Content cadence will be on par or better than legion if everything goes according to plan. 10.0.7 coming soon introducing a good chunk of content before the bigger 10.1.
      Anyway blizzard seems to be sticking to their guns with the promises they’ve made and DF so far is showing that they’re keen on seeing them through which is honestly the biggest change of all. DF and the ass end of SL were made with large amounts of community feedback along with clear and mostly rapid communication in general and that continues to be their strategy.
      They could also botch it and kill the game tomorrow but it seems that they’re taking their promise to reinvest into WoW and it’s core evergreen systems seriously so who knows.
      Not particularly trying to defend blizzard, just that they’re actually trying matters to me, and it indeed seems like they are if that happens to matter to you as well.
      I know your comment is a month old but hope that helps

    Tyyyy SO much for this video.
    - I'm a Guild Wars 2 veteran (since launch and even as far back as playing GW1), and got into FFXIV about 7 months ago now. Adore both these games
    - Don't give a single shit about mechanics or min-maxing or whatever
    - Only care about story, aesthetic/appearance, and RP (just with my own character in the world, like having a headcanon. Not group RP).
    - Loved ARR in FFXIV and I do EVERY sidequest. Apparently, ARR is infamously considered 'slow' and/or 'mostly boring' or at the very best 'not the good stuff', but I adored it. And I don't care if I should 'only do the blue and main quests' and it's 'inefficient' to do every sidequest, I like to because that's fun for me. Plus clicking every npc for their tiny extra dialogue that no one ever sees but effort is put into anyways. AKA I include this point as I seem to be easily entertained/pleased.
    - I last played WoW over 10 years ago (played since it's inception before that). Don't really remember why I quit. I can't re-access that account (used to be shared with my sibling and I, it became all her basically after I lost interest). TLDR, I'd have to start completely anew.
    Dragonflight has gotten me interested in playing again, just for the character creator alone. I'd also love to revisit some starting zones like the Worgen, Demonhunters, Pandarians, and Goblins, even if I didn't level any such characters further beyond their initial leveling zones. But I just... COULDN'T for the LIFE of me tell if the cost would be worth it, especially as a GW2 veteran who LOATHES sub fees (yet ffxiv cracked me on that one obviously). Soooo many opinions about WoW are negative in one form or another, and often deeply so. Many are also into gearing and raiding and mechanics and whatever. Lots of their criticisms are about things/systems/aspects in WoW I could care less about.
    aka I'm super grateful for this vid. I think I will get it, even if I don't play for long. I'm the type of player who enjoys finding a nice tree or cliff in game and just sitting enjoying the view and music.

The price difference between base and epic is $25 (considering the $15 value of a month's sub with epic) so are all other things that come with it worth that? I just can't decide.

I think the wow dev team should respect our time more, switching from group loot to personal loot in LFR and allow Pugs to choose personal loot instead of group loot. Heck, they could just copy the FFXIV loot system (tokens instead of loot) and it'll feel much better. 3 weeks of normal+heroic+lfr and 0 set pieces don't feel good and no one should experience this

    Keep in mind, Chromie time is NOT available to fresh new players. After Exile's Reach you're dumped into a capital city with no direction, quests to go into dungeons you can't queue for, and flyers that don't actually explain what they're for. No MSQ here either to explain what the hell is going on. LFR is a mixed bag from mine and others' experiences as well, and does more harm than good for new players since the experiences can be so awful that it'll just turn them off completely. The low raiding population in retail compared to classic should be noted here. The game also doesn't explain what guilds are, how to join them, WHY they're so good, etc. They needed/need to streamline getting into normal raiding with a composed group instead of raiding with COMPLETELY randoms players. The servers also don't display any sort of faction balance or an accurate population or which servers they're connected to. Faction population for your server matters a LOT for the auction house, for example, even if there is a lot of cross-realm instance content you can do. I rolled on a fresh account, picked a random realm, came into Stormwind and there was ONE guy there who called me an idiot for going on the server. Apparently that server and its connected realms are just dead on that faction's side, though this was an issue that I thought sharding was SUPPOSED to fix but the world was just completely dead.

    Yea ok for casuals but you didnt mention you need to do EVERY side quest to unlock the main story(Rep). All the keystone M+/Heroic raid+ gear out ranks the crafted stuff so if your not a high end raider your stuck with low lvl gear rating unless you want to spend days and 10s of thousands of gold to max rank anything. EVERYONE plays the FoM classes only. PvP is total trash. Have fun waiting 30-40 min ques for the "NEW" solo shuffle if your dps spec. The horde totally suck in pvp. Every BG is a death match ppl only go for kills when it does nothing for the objectives but lose every time. So play ali if you want to do objectives in pvp. Plain arenas is all the FoM classes/groups(Look at the leaderboards)
    Not trying rain on anyone parade but if your not that serious of a player then dont waste your time. 1st month maybe 2 you will have fun after that just a back burner game. And Fyi Ive been playing off and on since day one and play 2 characters not 10 alts like some ppl do. So I have some background with the game. And good luck finding ppl that can do keystone15+ cause after 15 it gets nuts.

    From someone that has close to 2k hrs on ff xiv..I've gotta say dragonflight is freaking amazing and I'm addicted. Especially to the pvp aspect of the game which I find better than GW2. Not to mention the transmogs for classes look breathtaking..makes you wanna go back and run through old expansions raids just to get those sweet looking gear pieces. Not to mention it's only 15 bucks a month.. so many people complain about that, like dude...it's ONLY 15 bucks, a MONTH.. coming from someone that has mortgage and a number of other bills..it's not that bad.

    I started to play wow again 2 weeks ago. I have no chance catching up with the professions making them completly useless to me. It's very frustrating and I think that it may hurt the game more then they can imagine. Everybody that will come back because they heard the new expansion is great and will of course have missed the start is damned to not be able to do professions.
    Overall I think the expansion is great but the profession system is simply not well thought through

  • @Ohmygodbruh

    Wow player since release. I like the expansion but it do not give me this connection to lore, to community as I was feeling before. In general I pushed two toons to 70, one to ilvl 385 (raids with guild), and I do not feel any urge to continue. It’s good but not for me anymore.

      endgame can be whatever you want it to be, ilvls are closer together than they ever been, the Raid of course has the highest, followed by PVP, M+ is slightly weaker and World Content/Crafted Gear can get close to M+ level. basically the endgame is what YOU make of it.

  • @UltimateGamerCC
    @UltimateGamerCC Год назад +2

    i think this expansion is not only great for casuals, but great overall, the outdoor content is solid, the classes with the new talent trees range from cool to OUTSTANDING, it's like Nixxiom said; "Blizzard are farming W's lately" with Dragonflight coming off to be a HUGE W.
    i feel sorry for anyone so jaded towards Blizzard that they cant just enjoy the game, it's the best it's been in flippin' years, arguably ever... but of course we have to wait and see what the rest of the patches bring, to which we know that there will be 6 patches, 2 major, 4 minor.

    I dislike Dragonflight. The leveling professions is gated behind Renown (reputation), the dailies are every three days, event timers are not announced, the quests left zero impression on me except for a very few. Shadowlands was a great leveling experience and so was Warlords of Draenor.

  • @CoryD918
    @CoryD918 Год назад

    I’ve actually enjoyed dragonflight. I leveled a toon to cap and had no interest doing anything further during shadowlands. Though I think the evoker class is pretty lame, I think the content of the expansion is strong so far. Now I will never put anything past blizzard to mess things up but so far on the right track. The only thing missing imo is difficulty. The dungeons are easy even under mythic+, raid is simple, and the tier gear looks super lame across the board. I remember grinding for the awesome tier loot but now couldn’t care less other than stats. Whoever did the design should be ashamed. Just a bunch of rock looking toons. LFR also needs to be tweaked because it just encourages people to join, die once, leave with no consequence. These people will never understand the struggle of getting a 25 man together and those who did join, were typically committed because the wait could be infinite
