PoF is easily my favourite, everything about it was truly expansion worthy, we board a flying ship and head to a distant land to go fight a god. new Especs, massive beautiful desert themed maps, deserty armour sets and the story was great.
@@RaptorJesus. Yeah i agree. In fact, the way the structured having to discover new mounts was brilliant. I felt like I was playing zelda, having to "level up" before crossing certain jumps, which led to the next mount/treasure. None of the other expansions have really treated us to that.
@@nautilaz oh yeah totally forgot to mention the mounts! :P HoT had a bit of the "level up" thing, but it was more annoying with gliding and bouncing mushrooms, i didn't really like the vertical nature of the maps, and Tangled Depths is a god damn hellhole when you're trying to reach a certain spot on the map XD
Very surprising that you rated SotO as "S" tier, above everything else in the game??? I doubt that you have many other players who agree with that rating, as most people I know and have seen in videos about SotO, don't like it and would rate it below all other expansions, and also below most or all of the Living World seasons. The reasons, or features you listed about SotO don't really seem to me to uplift it into the top "S" tier spot on this list. Maybe you can explain a bit more in these comments, why you put SotO so high on this tier list?
I thought the thumbnail was rage bait for sure. I feel like I have a much more positive opinion of SotO than most and even I wouldn't rate it s-tier. Let's not even speak about putting it above everything else. Just goes to show how subjective this opinion is. Btw, I got SotO after it was fully released and I think that made a big difference. Especially the story seems to feel much more cohesive, now that you can play it all in one go.
I also agree with the HoT & PoF choice as a bundle, unless the person buying them has enough spare cash to buy the $99 bundle of HoT, PoF & EoD, plus all of the Living World seasons and Icebrood Saga included in just one purchase. Since the Living World seasons and Icebrood Saga can be purchased via the Gem Store, those can be purchased with game play, making gold and converting it to gems, instead of real money. So, if you have enough disposable income and not so much disposable time, the whole package of 3 expansions and 4 living world seasons for $99 might be the better choice for some people. Specially if you enjoy the story, and know that you are going to play through all of it in the order it was released.

POF when it came out was a game changer. It still is one of the best, minus the meta events that are lacking.

@@RaptorJesus. Yep back when hot was out, it turned me away from the game because of all that nonsense. PoF was a breath of fresh air.

what expansion would you buy first as a new player?
HoT and PoF bundle. Probably the best and the most content you can get for your money
Yep, this is the right choice, glider and mounts, 18 elite specs, a new class, lots of maps, raids and lots of story content
I agree with this too. HoT and PoF are most important
Thanks!
