    With the time-gating system you can play only as many as they allow you to play, nothing more else you won't get any meaningful reward for it.

    Blizzard is fresh out of ideas with an empty bottle of polish this time around. Warcraft is no longer an MMO-RPG. It is a single player action-arcade game with a pay to continue button (WoW token). Poor systems all around, rampant inflation, and helping turtles to the water have led to a mass exodus of subscribers, Including very many life long players and fans. It's a sad time in gaming

    Take everything that was fun in Legion and divide it in half , that's BFA. Class identity is dead. Azerite armor system is a broken Legion legendary system but kept the grind. Warfonts are the biggest con job scam ever release by blizzard , you fight npc and no way to lose. cash shop tactics should be investigated. donot buy

However, this time stuck out. World of Warcraft: Legion was for me was mostly a return to form for the biggest MMO out there - my MMO of choice over the years - World of Warcraft. Legion had managed to rekindle in me a love and loyalty for the game again that Warlords of Draenor had damaged. I went into Battle for Azeroth with a lot of hope that Blizzard would carry over the good from Legion and disregard what didn't work. Instead, I found myself on uninteresting and grueling quest slogs through zones that were thoroughly boring and grindy - and a chore at times.

    I found it very difficult to maintain the will to carry on the entire way through to 120. The questing in previous expansions had been interesting, with quests telling interesting, compelling, or even cute or funny stories - but not this time. By the time I did manage to slog my way through the boring leveling grind to max level, I was met with a gear wall for everything I wanted to do. Dungeons? Needed more gear. Warfronts? Needed more gear. Island expeditions? They were actually not gated by gear, but OMG kill me now. Island expeditions are awful. One of the worst experiences I have had in World of Warcraft with friends. A meaningless grind for a tiny bit of currency that does almost nothing for you. I feel like my experience with BFA can be summed up thus - no thanks!    … Expand

    i started playing mmorpg long time ago, so grind for me not an issue. nonetheless, when u r forced to grind with random reward - it's something out of this world. better play roulette.

    Islands were a boring chore and warfronts sucked. The gear was RNG upon RNG upon RNG, which was incredibly frustrating when trying to gear a character, especially when you needed a specific azerite trait or corruption and you couldn't get it to drop. Massive time gating, essences, azerite gear, corruptions, and visions to level up the cloak made it very unpleasant to play alts. BlizzardIslands were a boring chore and warfronts sucked.

Mythic raiding itself while time consuming (as it should be ) does not feel rewarding at all in this expansion, you really need to be extremely passionate about mythic raiding or streaming/playing is your job to afford doing it. Mythic+ while challenging like all other features keep the daily grind for loot boxes feature.
    Mind blowing fact: after level 100 the only development of your character is the trashy Azerite armor,
    that means legendary items, tier sets and artifact weapon abilities were cut down to a dumb down boring
    game play.
    Not even new talent point raw in this exp only some minor changes including removing of some talent
    and re using some of Legion abilities that were removed as new talents ( how lazy can you be ), couple this with the GCD changes and you found your self with no will to play your chars after the new exp.

    Profession examples zero effort as well, looks like copy pasta of legion profession with new names with some minor changes that cause trouble and needed to be hot fixed.

    Moreover this expansion was rushed to launch with many bugs that weren't even fixed between the beta testing to game launch. The amount of ridiculous hot fixing (changes tens of different abilities power by 50-200% as a hot fix )
    which also require to do more grinding since BIS gear changed.

    Overall I think Blizzard went way to greedy mode thinking the captive audience of the Warcraft world will swallow
    this trash and say thank you backlashes , players are waking up and noticing very easily this game turned to
    a mobile game loot boxes centered instead of MMORPG.

    The only way to fix it is players stop throwing money on Blizzard, that means first of all stop with the pre order. its abusrd how flashy new trailer just caused huge amount of players pre-order this game without any idea what they are getting, also it requires players to have standards and unsubscribed when the game is bad.    … Expand

    The 2 words I would use to bescribe Battle For Azeroth (BFA) would be rushed and disappointing.

    BFA had a lot of hype around it coming off how good legion was. This is reflected in the all time high sales of an expansion. BFA unfortunately does not live up to the hype and falls way short of the standards that were set in legion. Lets start with the good: The art: The zones look    The 2 words I would use to bescribe Battle For Azeroth (BFA) would be rushed and disappointing.

    BFA had a lot of hype around it coming off how good legion was. This is reflected in the all time high sales of an expansion. BFA unfortunately does not live up to the hype and falls way short of the standards that were set in legion.

    Lets start with the good:

    The art:
    The zones look amazing and they are all probably the best yet seen in wow. The art team knocked the ball out of the park with this. Each zone is unique and very atmospheric. 10/10 here.

    The sounds:
    The music and sound effects are much improved. The music is actually good for the first time ever. Waycrest manors music really sticks out, adding to the atmosphere and really tieing in with the theme of the zone. The guys in charge of this did a great job.

    Unforntuantely this is about where the good stuff ends.

    Time gating + rep grind:
    Everything is behind a time gated rep grind. Dungeons - yup, new races, yup, the storyline yup. It is horrible and boring. The only way to increase rep is through grinding hundreds of world quests which are all pretty much just copied and pasted over and over. Nothing new, nothing unique. Basically everything that has been a feature in previous expansions (such as new races, dungeons, quests) are locked behind a rep grind. People hated this in legion and for some reason blizz though it was a good idea to make it the main feature of BFA. I think it is because of my next point.

    Story line:
    Going on from the time gating, the stroy line locked behind a rep grind. This stroy is very short once you take out the rep grind needed to unlock it. You don't get the sense you're at war the with the alliance or horde.. you're just running around doing the same old kill this, pick up that we have done expansion after expansion. I think blizz really missed the mark with this. They could of really done something great but instead they took the lazy option of not adding anything really new or exciting.

    Dungeons:
    Insane amount of trash is in each dungeon. Legion had amazing dungeons - I loved pushing mythic + keys up into the late teens early 20's in legion but these dungeons are just disgusting in terms of layout, bugs and the sheer amount of trash found in them. In legion you really felt like the bosses were the main attraction, the main challenge. Now it is dancing around trash in tiny corridors and overloaded dungeons. Pulling more than 1 pack is now a no no unless you're running in a super co-ordinated group. It doesn't feel fun. The bosses feel like the easy part.

    Also there is horrible clipping issues in each dungeon. Time and time again trash packs are pulled from behind solid walls. In Tol dagor we even managed to pull the final boss from the 2nd floor by the clippling issues. It's seriously not fun to wipe when you can randomly pull mobs above or below you on different levels of the dungeon.

    The classes + Azerite gear
    The worst thing about legion is the state of the classes. In legion we had artifacts, legendaries and tier sets that changed up our playstyle, gave us powerful effects and another psuedo talent tree to dig into. This has all been strippped out and been replaced with a stat stick and few passive effects, which comes at the cost of massively reduced secondary stats

    For the first time in wow you lose power from leveling (loosing legendaries at 116 and loosing a massive amount of secondary stats with each level), The azerite armor does not fill the gaps left in your class. Not even close. If you played legion you are left with a shell of what you used to be. Your class has been stripped of so much and gained next to nothing in return. Almost ever class plays poorly and is a complete bore compared to its legion counterpart.

    Blizzard were told by beta testers to make artifcats traits and legendary effects base line. They ignored the feedback of course. Generally classes are boring.

    Deadspot on leveling:
    101-120 seems pointless, almost like another time gate. You gain next to nothing. No new talents, no new skills, just a few extra primary stat. With the leggo's and artifacts being gutted and nothing new being added there is a 20 level deadspot.

    The should remove these 20 levels if they do not plan to add anything to them.

    Conclusion:

    BFA is very rushed. It is a downgrade from legion and feels like it has been slapped together just to give shareholders an extra bump to the size of their wallet.

    Very little love and care has been put into it. I feel bad for the art and sound team as they have obviously put a hell of oa lot of work into the game. Shame about everyone else.

    Anyone looking to buy this game I would say hold off for 18 months until the last raid tier (probably 8.3 is the patch you're looking for). By then maybe the other areas of the game will be brought up to scratch. Atm it is terrible and a massive let down.    … Expand

    Honestly, I find no redeeming qualities in this expansion. It's like many others have said; a watered-down Legion with just the bad parts (AP grind, time-gated rep grind via WQs, dungeon spam, etc).

Master loot was done away with as a whole,Honestly, I find no redeeming qualities in this expansion. It's like many others have said; a watered-down Legion with just the bad parts (AP grind, time-gated rep grind via WQs, dungeon spam, etc). Don't get me wrong, M+ is a great system, but the changes to the way loot works in WoW (personal loot) do NOT do playing with your friends justice. Master loot was done away with as a whole, taking choice away from tight-knit guilds with the flimsy excuse of "but the loot council is corrupt!" to which any sane player would reply: why do you not just leave the guild? It's baffling, and almost seems as if they want more RNG gear to get you to play longer, but it may just be to quiet the casual players (who don't raid high-end in the first place, so it makes less sense).

    Azerite gear is also horribly dull. This one seemed interesting, but it's balanced very poorly to where some traits needed to be buffed by 200%, and others nerfed similarly. When the difference in damage is from 13 up to 2-3k (yes, 13), there's an issue. It's abundantly clear that this expansion was rushed between the number balancing issues (scaling as well, you hardly feel any power gains despite gaining 40+ item levels at max, which is huge!) and the sheer number of bugs. There were world quests that were straight up broken to the point of being unable to complete them (yes, multiple!). Not to mention how broken the Mag'har and Dark Iron Dwarf scenarios were early on (this is after a LAUNCH and people reporting these bugs during beta! Go on any site like wowhead, there are people reporting them being bugged with BETA dates!) -- it's just entirely unacceptable.

    Pair the obvious rush shipment with the complete and utter lack of any meaty content, and you have what is BfA. Legion and MoP provided much more out of the gate than this expansion did, and in a much more meaningful way. Island expeditions and Warfronts are horribly dull and unrewarding, even after the droprates of the "rare" items being buffed for the former. The latter is timegated via AQ40-style turn-ins (turning in crafting materials) for minimal rep gains (of which many people are already exalted with their respective turn-in faction, so it feels like a total resource sink with no reward other than to move a bar so everyone can progress). The rare spawns are on a loot-lockout per faction control swap, which in itself is just more of the same "beat up X, hope for Y to drop" with no meaningful gameplay in between. It seems largely like Argus while you control the map, just run around and beat up the shiny dragon portraits and pray to RNGesus once again.

    The mass amount of RNG is something the playerbase has been largely asking to be removed, and they only seem to be getting more of it, with titanforging staying in the mix (a largely reviled system, if forums and discussion boards are to be believed). But hey, at least Azerite gear can't get bonus item levels? Anything to keep the difficulty that is mythic on life support, far too many guilds are feeling the pressure with forced personal to stay afloat.

    All-in-all, if you care to play more than a few hours a week, skip this expansion. Heck, even if you only play a few hours a week, you may feel like skipping it as well, as there's quite a number of ruthless grinds already if you want to stay even remotely relevant.

    There's only one real saving grace for this expansion: The music and world. As per the standard for Blizzard, they're both great. But looks and soundscapes alone cannot warrant any real score-- everyone cares about the gameplay and how the developers understand and address the issues their playerbase has... which they haven't really done much of. The developers seem to be in the boat of "we know how you should play our game, take it or leave it." Don't even get me started on the grievances of the PvP crowd with changes rolling over from Legion. It's bad. In fact, PvP as a whole is bad for a laundry list of reasons I can't fit in this review.    … Expand

Features that should have provided nearly endless things to do, ended up not being very appealing or particularly rewarding for the effort involved. And other features such as the Azerite Gear system just didn't play out as well as I think Blizzard thought it would.

    The Azerite Gear just doesn't feel like a good system. Many of the traits created for the system were uninteresting and others just plain bad. The traits generally got boiled down to "this is the best trait for this ring" and if your piece of Azerite Gear doesn't have these traits it's trash". The way Azerite Gear was handled with the Mythic Plus weekly chest was also not good, and even the supposed fix coming in 8.1 doesn't actually fix the system.

    The Island Expeditions which should have been repeatable content worth doing ended up being the opposite. The system is designed to be run quickly as a race between you and the npc team to meet a quota. That alone is problematic in a system that seemed like it would have some focus on exploration, but there's other issues as well. The big thing is that the reward structure for Island Expeditions runs contrary to how they are intended to be successfully completed. You would think beating the opposing team and "winning" the race would be the way to get the rewards but the opposite is true. Instead of doing everything you can to win the race as quickly as possible you must drag it out and risk "losing" so that events can happen that spawn the right mobs that can drop the loot you're looking for. But then you have layers of RNG to contend with. The "right" islands have to spawn for the week. The "right" mobs have to spawn on the islands. And then you still have no guarantee of getting what you're after. Patch 8.1 does nothing to address this. Players asked for the island rewards to be put on a vendor and bought with a currency that is earned on the islands, instead 8.1 adds a vendor with a few new items for this currency but the slew of original items remain gated by layers of RNG and the "contrary to how the expeditions are successfully completed" loot system.

    Warfronts are actually fun content, but they don't really feel worth doing repeatedly when available right now. They are fun to do, and rewarding the first time through for the week they are active. They just lack any incentive to keep doing them while active right now. If I am understanding correctly, 8.1 should be addressing this by adding a currency earned from doing the Warfronts which can be used to purchase desirable items.

    Mythic Plus dungeons were the highlight of the Legion expansion for me, but BfA has made them worse by making certain affixes (fortified and tyrannical) appear starting at level 2. Add to that most dungeons having prolific amounts of trash mobs, and certain affixes making some dungeons virtually unclearable despite Blizzard's claims that BfA's dungeons were designed with all affixes in mind. They are still worth doing to me but only once a week. Once I do my +10 key that's it. I don't want to do anymore because its just not as fun as it was in Legion.

    Poor professions were rendered virtually worthless if you didn't choose Herbalism and/or Alchemy. Most recipes required unreasonable amounts of materials and the primary raid consumable (flasks) requires FIVE Anchor Weed, an herb that has no designated spawn zone, but instead can randomly appear instead of most other herbs in any zone. This has wreaked havoc on the consumable economy. Since it doesn't have a zone of its own, Anchor Weed should have been a percentage chance to get from any herb, and it should not require FIVE of them to make ONE flask.

    BfA also has some story issues as well. The first raid tier's lead up is seen only by one of the two factions, while the other is left scratching their heads wondering why they are even there. On the flip side the faction who got no lead up ends up invading the other side's "capital" for this xpac in the next raid... a retread of a similar raid from the MoP expansion which leaves players on both sides unhappy. Some Horde players are unhappy because yet another of their cities is being invaded and some Alliance are unhappy because that invasion is merely a vehicle for the Horde narrative, pushing the Zandalari into joining the Horde. It just feels a bit ham fisted and obvious. Much like the far too obvious treadmills in the game, the story should be much more subtle when it comes to things like that.

    The 8.1 patch brings relief to some of these issues, but it probably won't be until 8.2 that things really get to where they should have been at launch and that's a real shame. I can only hope that the next expansion is made by the "A Team" that brought us Legion and not the "B Team" that brought us BfA (and WoD presumably).    … Expand

Everything is overtuned in terms of difficulty; even the leveling dungeons that new players will start with are overly punishing.

    The playstyle that Blizzard now officially supports is one where the "tank" gathers up huge groups of bad guys in an attempt to destroy the entire dungeon as quickly as possible. If you've got quests in the dungeon that ask you to gather an item or interact with something -- too bad. You have to keep up with the new speed-run style that Blizzard promotes. In this style, players take enormous damage that healers can barely keep up with, even if they use every skill available to them every time it's off cooldown. Blizzard has decided that a hard-casted heal should only refill ~15% of a player's healthbar, because that must be the type of power fantasy healers are looking for?

    It feels awful and just isn't any fun. Every facet of the game now has this super hardcore design philosophy behind it, and they just keep ramping up the difficulty on everything -- even the portions of the game that new or casual players might be interested in. Apparently, nobody on the design team takes the time to ask themselves if players will find this fun.

    If you're just a typical gamer looking to run some dungeons and have fun, go play something else. WoW is now some sort of esport that's apparently designed to cater to a small crowd. There are several other mmos out there that provide better experiences for the typical gamer. If anyone from Activision ever reads this (unlikely), and you're wondering why people are abandoning this game -- look no further than the current professional-gamer infatuated development team. It's almost as if they took a guy who was only interested in the hardest 1% of content in the game and made him the lead developer. Wait a minute -- that's exactly what happened.    … Expand

    When it comes to my 4.0 rating, they earned their 4 points from just those things, but that's just a small fraction of what an expansion is supposed to provide. Blizzard really screwed up with Battle for Stromgarde's loot table. They allowed players to acquire gear at a higher item level then their first raid and do so in a span of just a few hours. This broke the entire balance of acquiring gear. Their first raid, 340+ gear. Why go if I already have 365+ gear that I got in just a few hours? PvP is also a ludicrous grind to just get one piece, it takes ~15 wins to get one piece and the amount of crusader points you can get per week is capped. Have you ever have a rough night in randoms and lost 15 straight? And the worst part is, you grind the all the 340's first before even moving to the next tier!? I don't even need the 340s!

    Even the artifact power stuff is flawed. It was a bit wonky in Legion at first but the system worked...I was regularly compelled to get artifact power because I got stronger and stronger. I saw the reward of spending artifact points and had to interact with something to spend power. I have minimal desire in sorting through 100 various traits and ensuring i have the best combination of 3 traits, on 4 different sets of gear. If I wanted that, I'd play Path of Exile.

    Progression as a whole is completely messed up...Blizzard is currently trying to course correct based on feedback, but I think it's going to take a few patches to dig out of the hole that was almost entirely caused by Battle for Stormgardes originally released loot table.    … Expand

On the other hand all the content has gotten much easier. Heroics Dungeons and Normal Raids are facerolls with some of the early Mythic Dungeons also being fairly simple, barley harder than there Herioc conterparts. The mythic system is like fractals from GW2 but much worse, with gaining higher teir's felling more like a chore than fun making another grind on this amazingly large borefest that Blizzard calls a game. The Warfronts system was extremely underwhelming. The raids were generally fun though, Though some of them are pretty easy although its hard to get these wrong, they are generally Blizzards proudest work so there is a pretty high bar already. This is the thing that kept me as a sub for a while longer than I otherwise would have been the raids were fun endgame group content. But that was all that was keeping me around. I cant sat that this was worse than Legion, still a slight improvement. It sucks because the concept was very good and excited me a lot, but I have hope that Blizzard might be turning the game around, and I hope thats the case.

    The expansion is not perfect but it's a pleasant departure from the demons we've had for the last few expansions. The two new islands are very nice to explore and the overall world and level design is an improvement over most of Legion in my opinion. The change from an artifact weapon to an artifact neck is as boring as you'd expect but the transferring of the crucible mechanic into your azerite pieces opens up several fun opportunities for additional passive abilities - yes as usual there is a "perfect set of traits" and the impact is meaningful but overall i like this system.

    Class balance feels quite good for this early in an expansion, sure there are a few oddities here and there and I'm sure once raids open there will be more numbers to look at to see which specs are coming out on top but it's quite fun to play at the moment.

    There has been a lot of complaining about the in world enemy level scaling but this is capped upto a point and most of the people who are complaining haven't passed that cap yet, so yes the enemies are still scaling to your level. It's not linear scaling though so it's not like you're not becoming more powerful over time which is the main complaint.

    Самый убогий аддон. Испортили троллей занадалара, превратив их в кал. Вульперы без лора дерьмище тупое, жирные, противные культирасцы, говно зандалары и отвратительные, блевотные мехагномы. Близард, вы че курите там?

    Every time you see ANY game (Not clownzzard specific) that has very high "Critic" rating, and very, very low user rating it usually means the "Critics" were paid to do that, the user score represents the people that actually play the game and the "Critics" score represent the people that were paid to play the game for few hours.

    Same problems as Legion. Lack of content and most of the content is abysmal. Terrible systems and grinds. Needless reworking of classes that makes them less fun to play. Music is still bad. Only good thing I have to say is that it looks aesthetically okay, and the boss fights are decent.

    WoW is dying? Yes, he's dying. And a long time ago. Blizzard just has enough resources to support his agony on artificial life support for many years. Games outside politics

    This game sucks, you die 50 times before ever reaching level 20, its too difficult, pvp is unbalanced, terrible combat, mechanics, everything is so bad about World of Warcraft it should stop existing from earth. Honestly the first time i played it i was 12 years old, i cried in front of the boar, it made me have breakdowns, i had a terrible childhood, this game didn't make it better, todayThis game sucks, you die 50 times before ever reaching level 20, its too difficult, pvp is unbalanced, terrible combat, mechanics, everything is so bad about World of Warcraft it should stop existing from earth.

    Garbage. I hated it so much. Lore was bad. Game design went backwards. How did Undercity fall so easily? It was a bad storytelling.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros
    - Battle for Dazar'alor was a great raid
    - Mechagon, Underrot and Freehold were good dungeons
    - The questing experience FOR ALLIANCE was fantastic, FOR HORDE it was much worse.
    - Gave Azshara's character more structure and was one of the only positive character arcs which came from this.
    - Some of the cinematics were great. 'Old Soldier' was a fantastic example of a good cinematic.

    Cons

    - The heart of Azeroth, and the associated Azerite gear had the initial depth of a toddler's swimming pool with 3 'options' to choose from on each piece gear. Atleast 1 ring being utility based and having no useful meaning. This was slightly improved by adding 1 more option, then 2 more options.
    - Island expeditions were the most viable way of farming Azerite, and were a huge conceptual disappointment to the expansion, what was advertised as 'Being able to visit anywhere on Azeroth and exploring new lands' became a grind fest of 'pull the island and nuke it as quickly as possible'
    - Warfronts were another example of this, being advertised as a similar mode to that of the Warcraft franchise, to being a trivial zerg of players with no meaningful rewards.
    - The lore gave me little to no interest following on from legion's ending. This was the perfect place to end the story.
    - N'Zoth's end was the most anti-climactic ending possible, and for a character that has been as old as classic, this was hugely disappointing.
    - Uldir, barring MOTHER, Zul and Fetid Devourer, was a bad raid.
    - The Devs would literally lie to us by saying that Sylvanas is a 'morally grey' character after burning Teldrassil. She would then go on to betray the horde completely. This is not 'morally grey'
    - By the end of the expansion, boosters and gold sellers were running rampant and pay to win became as prevalent as it had been since WoD and the introduction of the token.
    - Bugs would plague this expansion from the beginning to the end of it. E.G. Tol Dagor, a dungeon, would often have mobs which would aggro THROUGH THE FLOOR, this was not fixed until towards the end of the expansion.
    - As with each WoW expansion, the class tuning was horrendous, and little to no effort was put in to fix this.
    - The entire premise of the expansion was a premise that the community didn't care for. by 2018, nobody actually wants or cares for Horde and Alliance as a separate faction this has been done to death, let alone basing the story around it.    … Expand

    A quite well-made expansion, but not without flaws. If they get removed by the creators, the rating will improve. However, you won’t regret buying it. [Issue#290]

    Battle for Azeroth offers everything you could expect from a World of Warcraft expansion, but its scale is visibly smaller than Legion’s and there’s no truly new quality here. All that doesn’t change the fact that the charm of this extraordinary MMORPG appeals to me almost as strongly as 13 years ago. [10/2018, p.42]

    Blizzard plays it safe, incorporating few innovations while trying to salvage the lore situation of Warcraft due to its constant escalation. Despite all this, BfA remains an entertaining expansion with a lot to offer in endgame for a casual player.
