    It's important to note WoW is starting to cater more to solo players. In the next patch, you can run Dragonflight dungeons by yourself with npc companions. In the next expansion, there is "endgame" content with Delves which can be ran with 1-5 players and an npc companion to tag along.

    • @vicv3940
      @vicv3940 7 месяцев назад +55

      Important to note that the dungeon runs with a group of NPCs only applies to “normal” difficulty dungeons. So only the easiest dungeons can be played this way and subsequently doesn’t drop the highest level gear. It’s still a neat feature tho I hope they keep adapting it over time.

      I have no problem with them broadening accessibility so long as it doesn't take away from anything else. Allowing someone to run a dungeon with NPCs or by themselves doesn't mean that I'm prevented from scaling the difficulty and/or running with my friends.

      As a new player, I was glad to hear this. No one wants to help the fng. The game has become way too bloated, and trying to figure out how to progress is overwhelming. All these different currencies for different things. Ridiculous. I was a long time player when Destiny 2 experienced the same problem. I remember thinking, "I can't imagine a new player trying to jump in now with how bloated this game has become."

It will make it so much easier for people to enjoy Dungeon content as casuals and will open up for more players. I know for example people who play almost only for themself and maybe touched a dungeon once in 5 years but with that npc system they will definetly go in and enjoy them @@hammerofscience534

    I never played wow (I always wanted to) until this month even with the graphics and combat (imo kinda boring) I can feel the charm of the game and why it has been successful for so long...retail feels more straight forward and linear, leveling is faster while wotlk classic is way more grindy and slower paced but more impactful and meaningful, theres a feel of a huge knowledge wall that probably makes the game way more interesting and with more content than just leveling but probably not entirely needed to enjoy and progress...btw i was playing it solo so with friends or in parties both games are probably more enjoyable I wish I could played this game while it was at its peak though

  • @Audio041194

    It is sad that you don't know wow's older lore it actually used to be some of the deepest game lore in recent history, only things I know of that are any where near as lore rich are table top games like 40k and DnD. Final Fantasy probably also would get a vote from me too, it is a 30+ year old series. There are a few historians on wow that go from begining to end. For me why I was killing the boss was as important and actually doing it, made you feel more invested and part of it all. I still like that feeling though knowing the bosses crimes or story. Like Illidan for example was imprisoned for war crimes he committed against his people during the war with the Burning Legion (he was a night elf at one point) and for creating a fount of power (the demon hunter by infusing those of elven blood with the blood of demons). For those crimes he was hunted down along with his army and put on trial by the Night Elf Wardens and sentencted to eternal imprisionment (along with his followers). This prision sentence was commuted in Legion when the Burning Legion attacked in full force. That info minus the legion stuff really made killing Illidan important, also Illidan was one of my favorite "villains" because he isn't all bad, and becomes the hero again. Anyway I do hope one day when you are bored and have down time you look at some of the older lore.

    Played WoW on and off since release, most recently quitting halfway through Sanctum when my laptop started randomly overheating and I couldn’t Mythic raid anymore. My issue is that I can’t play it casually. Whenever I return I end up quickly getting sucked into raiding and want to do it at the highest level, which was fine during COVID but I can’t make that time or mental effort commitment anymore. Still, it was a very prominent part of my teenage years (as was WC3) and I occasionally get a strong itch to come back or at least check out what’s going on with the game.

    Hey everyone, figure this is a good place to ask this: I've heard good things about DF. I played wow a decent amount up to MoP and didn't really go further than that. If i was to start again, how daunting would it be go catch up to current expansion?
    When I was younger I LOVED the classic bosses and raids (Onyxia, Azuregos, AQ) but i was never good enough to do them myself.
    I know you can gear up and go through those classic instances pretty easily now, but is the new content good as well?

    I have returned to retail after classic. Honestly for the first time i appreciate the design choices in WoW. The end game is engaging and exacly what I would want out of the game. A sense of progression while playing the class tbat feels best and trying to optimize dps while doing mechanics. The rotations feels fun and engaging always. Unlike those in FFXIV where its all about memorizing a long rotation and long list of mechanics.

      @apathy526 5 месяцев назад +3

      @@godofm3tal1 story and glamour aside, what is FFXIV better at? It's leveling experience is tedious even after ARR content. Classes are very scripted with 0 room for trying out different playstyles, the most incentive things you can do in a class in FFXIV is to choose DH over CRIT. Brilliant.
      End game scene in FFXIV has been following the same template since HW. 4 savage fights, 1 raid you can do while being asleep, and 1 ultimate fight every now and then. It's not enough to fill a season. Once you are done with savage and current ultimate you got nothing but playing old ultimates and farming glamour/mounts.
      WoW is the opposite of all of the above. Mythic raids lasts as a challenge for much longer, the m+ dungeon runs and key pushing is brilliant way to keep players engaged and seeking better gear, drops etc. The gear upgrade is much more complete here as opposed to FFXIV where you got one upgrade and that's it.
      I have played FFXIV since 1.0 btw, so I am not bullshiting you here, and got no bias to defend wow whatsoever, but it is a much more complete game in the aspects that are gameplay related.

      Dragonflight has been a strange expansion. It's the best retail WoW has been since Legion(and I would argue it's even better than Legion since Legion's systems were terribly grindy and not casual friendly), and yet the reception of DF has been terrible. WoW players truly don't know what they want from the game anymore, even when the game is good they can't stop whining.

      ⁠@@Hooga89 Most of the “game is good” of DF is blizz just undoing poor decisions made over the last decade. So if by “good” you mean “they stopped stepping on my balls” ya sure it’s great. But in terms of actual new improvements that aren’t just reverting things, not much has changed of note. There’s dragon riding……and that’s about it. Idk about you, but I expect more than that from Blizzard.

Tried retail it i coulnd get passed lvl 20. Didnt meet a single soul , everything is fragmented and convoluted , the game hold your hand and force you into an island where you will level until almost max , Nobody in chat , NOBODY in the world questing , people i saw are legit muted. tons of side systems that feels like an actual mobile game, Everything feels meaningless , you xp fast , you travel fast , you get gear so fast , gold isnt a problem , every zone scales and the world feels fake ,you can xp anywhere. It all feel more of like instanced solo rpg more than anything.i was amazed how different it was to the wow i know. Even the main quest is fragmented between all timelines , it just break immersion so strongly. It just feels like a smokescreen of a game. I hated it.

      It's a fact. I have been trying to get into WOW since 2015. I never got to play it as a kid, and by the time I started working I was "too cool" for a stupid MMORPG when I have the bro-iest of the bro-iest games to play(Counter-strike). After I grew out of my teenage phase, I always wanted to play wow, but never had people to do it with. I would keep trying wow and quitting after an hour or two. SOD kept me for a week.
      I am now giving it another chance, and wow is it so much better now than the last few times I tried.
      I still haven't decided if I am going to stick to Retail or go to classic/SOD.
      So far my experience has been that retail is a lot more like what other modern mmos do(a lot of qol stuff, but also a lot of useless systems that are there for complexity only) but they kinda fixed it a bit with the reworks a bit. SOD is very scary because it's all older players, I haven't come across a single player that didn't say (oh yeah I used to play this back in xxxx) and same with Classic.
      I keep seeing these new players that are playing classic in comments and stuff, but I don't see them in the world? What server are ya'll at wtf lol.

      @@Undecided_ GW2 is my Classic WOW game. I love the game and I love the community, but yeah it's all friendly faces and nice people until you try to do any challenging content. Heck early days I got abused by catmander because I didn't know the Meta(it was my first meta and it's a fucking meta ffs, even if I was perfect, 1 person hardly makes a difference when the whole map is doing the meta.
      Anyways, After that I realised that it's the content that attracts a specific type of player, so for any mmorpg if you want to do the hard content and not be abused, joing a guild with mature players(not older just mature) will make any mmorpg feel like it has a great community.
      In last 2 years I played Lost Ark, NW, GW2, FF14, ESO and now WOW and the only game where the community itself is toxic is lost Ark. GW2, FF14, ESO have all had lovely guilds that I joined, that do everything from fun community nights to high end raiding. They were all full of lovely people looking for a safe space to enjoy their games. Lost Ark is the only game where i never found that. I ended up with a static group that disbanded and I never managed to get another group before quitting.
      I haven't found my home in WOW yet, but I only played for few days, I'm sure with time I will find a guild that isn't bunch of insecure manchildren.

    Especially for the Achivement Hunting, Complecionist and collectors/gathering aspect. Since i am not a long time wow player nor in the game from the beginning, i cant relate to most criticism beside endgame community/content things. And because i am more of an "do all quests" and explorer type of player i think wow i quiet cool. I mean, i still think that lotro does many things way better like Story development and Landscape, i always wanted to be a WoW player deep in my heart.
