    This review is gonna be just like the game. To have it there will be a grind of 47.000 "likes" for a random review (which may not be the information you need) and 200.000 "likes" for the right information.

    Stick a load of armour that's random with random affixes.

    There are still some positive aspect like mithic+ beeing much more different with seasonal affix and the old good raid content.
    Big flops are warfront and island expedition which btw are skippable.    … Expand

Gearing is almost completely RNG so they've removed the feeling of achievement when you find a piece of gear. Mythic + rewards are underwhelming, PVP rewards are underwhelming, raid rewards are fine, but just knowing that it needs to be titanforged or it's still not the best makes gear meh, even if it's the piece you were looking for. I have unsubscribed to wow now and probably will never come back. I can't recommend anyone playing this gave as it is now and judging from the trend, its not going to get better.… Expand

    Finally we are back to Azeroth to our great lands of Kul Tiras and Zandalar. The new game mechanics like azerite talents and essences allow us to experience more flexible gameplay. My initial rate is 7/10, but I have to give 9 because...

    ...This game doesn’t worth 0/10. The haters are dumb and over exaggerating things

    I did not play Warlords of Draenor, but I can't imagine it being much worse than this.

    The content imbalance is massive - the Horde have an involved, personal-feeling series of quests involving the leadership of the Zandalari Trolls, with all-unique quests and interesting characters and locations, as well as lots of cool lore stuff. The Alliance has... you go around and kill things.    I did not play Warlords of Draenor, but I can't imagine it being much worse than this.

    The content imbalance is massive - the Horde have an involved, personal-feeling series of quests involving the leadership of the Zandalari Trolls, with all-unique quests and interesting characters and locations, as well as lots of cool lore stuff.
    The Alliance has... you go around and kill things. Sometimes you're told to kill the same mobs in the same area for basically the same reasons. All in all, it feels like a poorly-executed attempt to return your character to a more down-to-earth experience. If the Horde had also had such mediocre quests this would not be such a problem, but as it is the Horde has good quests and the Alliance gets crap.

    That would not be so bad, if not for combat feeling very slow. I started playing again at the end of Legion, and when the BfA pre-patch was released combat went from feeling relatively fast and enjoyable to being slow, tedious, and far more of a chore. In Legion, combat was quick - killing a mob was fast, and so they didn't seem too overpowering even in small groups. Running past them on the way to your destination was easily possible... But in BfA, combat feels very slow. Fighting more than one mob can take long enough that you're caught by others respawning. They all have abilities to dismount you as you run past, necessitating a fight. Gameplay is generally a big step back from Legion, and even from Wrath.
    The story is contradictory - All the battles between the Alliance and Horde have the Horde winning, usually quite significantly, in the game... but then apparently the Alliance is actually winning. This feels like it's just part of the overall problem - the Devs seem to want to give the Horde all the cool stuff, but then they realize that if the Horde wins the Alliance will not exist. So they decide to say the Alliance is winning despite all in-game content practically dictating the opposite.

    And then they give the Horde Vulpera - which at least looks like a unique new race, and the Alliance get Mechagnomes, who look almost exactly like gnomes. Mechagnomes would be far better suited to a customization option then and Allied Race.

    When all this is combined, you get a thoroughly underwhelming game that has quarterly updates that add in little content. And the content that they do add in is often extremely heavily biased towards the Horde, meaning that the Alliance gets very little and the scraps they get are usually mediocre and/or based on things they already have a lot of... like horse mounts.

    Overall, I'd say that the game has two choices: Either keep trying to do the 'Alliance vs Horde', PvP, faction-based content stuff and die, or emphasize what Legion did right (Inter-faction co-operation, PvE, class-based unique content) and live on for a while longer.

    I know which on I'd prefer, but it's probably what won't happen due to a vocal minority, confirmation bias and general apathy of the stockholders towards things that require effort.    … Expand

Even the War Campaign, which Blizz described as Suramar-like story progression, was horribly disappointing and clearly rushed.

    Even if the War Campaign had been given the time it needed, the story itself was frustrating from the start. No one wanted another expac with the Horde as the villain. It doesn't matter that they had lots of pretty cinematics planned, or a fist-pumping twist - no one wanted this!

    In patches, however, Blizz has done their best to redeem that terribly rocky start. By now, in 8.2.5, the game feels pretty good to play. Island expeditions are actually fun. Azerite armor is.... less terrible. The Essence system is fun, although a nightmare for alts. And 8.3 looks to be even better.

    This expansion shook players confidence in Blizzard's ability to learn from the past. No one expected such a massive regression. But in the time since, Blizz has shown they can, sometimes, just a little, learn from their mistakes.

    Only time will tell if we remember this as the expansion where WoW finally jumped the shark. But for the moment, I'm having fun.    … Expand

    It must be remembered that this is an MMORPG, and its developers began to develop it not towards RPGs, but towards session games, i.e. the player has time, went into the game, won, received positive emotions and left. My current rating is 9/10.

    I found the BFA expansion a lot of fun for a few weeks, although after a while I did feel like something was missing and I switched to WoW Classic as soon as it was fully released. That said, I did get a lot of enjoyment out of BFA for a few weeks so I feel I cannot give it a bad rating.
    Other expansions have been better, but this was fun enough.
    Pros: Beautiful new areas to explore    I found the BFA expansion a lot of fun for a few weeks, although after a while I did feel like something was missing and I switched to WoW Classic as soon as it was fully released. That said, I did get a lot of enjoyment out of BFA for a few weeks so I feel I cannot give it a bad rating.
    Other expansions have been better, but this was fun enough.

    Pros:

    Beautiful new areas to explore (I'd say moreso for Horde than Alliance). The entire Zandalari area has to be one of my favourites of all time, it reminds me very strongly of the Dinotopia book I had as a child. The art team have obviously put a great amount of care into the world.

    Exciting new content. There's a lot of fun new content. I'd say enough to warrant the price tag. I sunk hours into the game, following the various storylines, new dungeons and raids.

    Cons:

    Somehow I felt more railroaded than usual during BFA. That sense of playing out my own adventure that some expansions have had was sort of missing here? In part because everybody was playing the part of 'the chosen one' with the azurite amulet. In places I felt like I wanted to take a different path storywise, but the story carried on and I had no choice but to go along with it.

    My character felt more like a plot device to further the NPC's story arcs than a character free to go where and do what I wanted to do. This is why I hopped back to Classic WoW.

    Everything is easy. With enemy scaling, I never felt like anything was a challenge. This was something else WoW Classic excels in. In Classic, everything feels more challenging and as a result, progressing in the game feels more rewarding.

    Conclusion

    Overall I enjoyed this expansion, but it does seem like Blizzard is becoming more EA Activision and less Blizzard by the day. I want to see more charm and challenge from a WoW expansion.    … Expand

Ибо это не сложно, иногда задания растягиваются количеством необходимых пунктов выполнения и не всегда с хоть какой-то постановкой. Какое мне дело до того, что базу Альянса где-то в Степях взорвали, если мало того, что это территория другой фракции, так я ещё и не вернусь туда для её восстановления, даже если такая возможность существует. Или зачем мне узнавать лор предыдущего дополнения через что угодно, если я недавно это видел.
    А по достижению максимального уровня, может нагрянуть ещё большая скука:
    - выбор лучших классовых талантов зачастую совпадает и в PvE и в PvP и вообще у всех игроков. Вы всё равно в бою будете использовать определённую комбинацию, не смотря на переработку или изменение количества классовых навыков.
    - мало того, что в однообразные и не сложные локальные задания никаких изменений не было внесено для исправления этой ситуации, так ещё и добавились отдельные локации с ежедневными заданиями.
    - для разнообразия геймплея в Legion*е была система артефактов с закреплёнными за ними навыками, что давались игроку при прокачке артефакта. В BfA появились азеритовые таланты, которые можно выбрать только из ограниченного списка, причём некоторые таланты настолько неуместны, что предлагают на выбор для лекаря увеличение брони на Х секунд при Y условии либо крохотное постоянное лечение в случае отсутствия врагов на ближней дистанции. Причём нельзя ничего не выбрать или поменять эти таланты.
    - в любой момент можно получить предмет, превышающий изначально заявленный на 20 уровней, да ещё и с дополнительной статистикой при завершении чего-либо. Такой предмет получить при прохождении рейда на максимальной сложности не всегда можно. Бывает, что дополнительная статистика, получаемая при улучшении предмета, оказывается бесполезной для определённой роли.
    - для уравнивания шансов на полях боя или аренах ввели скалирование - систему уравнивания по урону в зависимости от экипировки. Но это не влияет на дополнительные характеристики,ибо второстепенные характеристики влияют на, например, частоту и скорость применения способностей.
    - при выполнении заданий соратниками шансы успеха рассчитываются не пойми как, ибо 170% и 125% визуально почти одно и тоже, то есть 70% и 25% шанса на дополнительную добычу срабатывают не с разницей в 3 раза, а в 2, а может и меньше, когда два подряд задания с 80% и 95% шансом дополнительной добычи завершаются без неё. И не раз такое.
    Помните soundtrack из, к примеру Burning Crusade?Местную захочется выключить на первом часу игры.

The classes have received some improvements and balancing as to have been expected. The new raids and zones added have all continued to be superb.

    Overall my rating remains the same mainly because Azerite is still a pretty **** system and classes haven't received much other than some token Azerite "essence" abilities and balancing.

    Here's hoping that they focus on important **** next expansion instead of shoe-horning in half baked gimmicks.
    /EDIT

    I can't help but feel like most of this expansion is attempting (and failing) to replace what we had in Legion. As others have stated, the art and raids have all taken a leap forward from Legion, but everything else has taken 3 steps backwards.

    Arguably the overall worst part of this expansion has been the changes made to classes. They have been gutted from Legion without anything added to replace what was lost. Every spec feels less fun to play and less powerful and I'm still not sure what all this was for. Classes were released in an unbalanced mess and months later they are still unbalanced. Then there was the whole debacle about Shamans and Shadow Priests being released in completely broken states because of lack of time before release. In fact the entire expansion feels rushed. "Beta for Azeroth" indeed.

    The zones are very pretty, and a players experiencing them while questing from 110 to 120 will enjoy the time up until max level content. The first raid is also good although the abolition of raid sets is awful. The two new cities are huge and feel epic.

    Warmode is the only reason I haven't slated this game with a largely negative score. World PvP has been in complete disrepair for many expansions, but Warmode is the best thing added to this game in since Mythic Keystones (*if you're into PvP). Some of my only good memories of this expansion are PvP brawls in the open world. Players fight to complete world quests and kill rares. The best part being that you can opt in or out of PvP at a moments notice if you just want to do Mythic dungeons or world quests in peace.

    Azerite gear is the new "gimmick" of this expansion and dreadful in its design. Nobody asked for it and nobody likes it. This is paired hand in hand with the "artifact power" grind of Legion returning in the form of "azerite power". However, it's now even worse as it's only purpose is to make players grind to get back the Azerite traits they already had. It's such a poorly designed system I don't think Blizzard even knows what to do with it at this point, and I feel most of the playerbase would see it scrapped entirely. To me it's something that was added for the sake of having a replacement to Legion legendaries, but just fell flat so hard.

    The other two new features, Island Expeditions and Warfronts, are a fantastic examples of "good idea, poor execution". Once you hit 120, both become utterly useless and mundane. Island expeditions can be a fun break when leveling as they can give you vanity items and help catch up alts with the depressing Azerite grind, and provide decent experience to boot. They also change on a weekly basis and different scenarios happen each time to keep things interesting. However, there's very little reason to do them at max level.

    Warfonts... I just don't understand the point? You sit there killing NPCs for 30 minutes and always win? You get some low gear from doing this but it quickly becomes another useless feature that the game has to coerce you to participate in every week by giving you a very good reward.

    There are new "sub-races", and quite a few, which in a way are more like fully fledged races with their own racial bonuses and abilities. I like that more is being done to allow players to customise their characters even if I feel that some of the sub-races could've just been different appearance options on the standard races. The only issue with these are that most players agree that the requirements to unlock them should be lowered or removed entirely. These requirement involve grinding old Legion reputations and new BFA reputations.

    Mythic dungeons haven't really improved or worsened. The dungeons are fine and other than a few specs being completely shunned from participating due to the class balancing issue discussed earlier, they are still a fantastic PvE activity to do when not raiding. Other than that, everything just feels slightly worse. Professions: worse. Story: worse. Gear: worse. Character customization: worse. World quests: worse. PvP (other than Warmode): worse. Blizzard: worse.    … Expand

There has been a real attempt by the developers to make this aging game more interesting. This was accomplished by adding two zones, Nazjatar and Mechagon, which represent two different varieties of world content.
    Nazjatar is the more classic type of end-game zone, where you venture with a bodyguard and do world quests and kill rare spawns to upgrade your gear and get unique toys, mounts, and pets. In Mechagon, the world content involves more unpredictable and quirky gameplay where you work with other players to build random construction projects (such as a drill that opens a cave to a rare spawn with unique rewards), "tinkering" which lets you build wacky engineering gadgets with a variety of effects, et cetera.
    The Eternal Palace (raid) and Operation: Mechagon (dungeon) are also welcome additions for anyone interested in end-game PvE content, with the raid having three difficulties (Normal, Heroic, and Mythic) and the dungeon having a Hard Mode with enhanced rewards and difficulty.
    The music, artwork, and "soul" put into the game are all top notch. People who complain about the state of the game don't have realistic suggestions as to how this 15 year old game could be improved. The developers have done a good job working with what they have, and I look forward to future expansions. If I could improve anything, I would do something about the War Mode and server sharding system, which was implemented to counteract the effect of lower server populations in an ever-expanding world, but can also cause lag and faction imbalance issues. 8/10    … Expand

    Its a garbage grind mobile game with daily egg timer, only buy this game if you have too much time in your life.

    Most of the thing that you'll do is daily chores over and over again with mobile mechanics such as mission table and bejeweled.

    Just dont buy this game, its pure garbage.

    Probably the worst expansion ever, PVP is trash, pve is just booring and repetitive grind, Game design booring, bad mythic plus system, no Pvp vendors, Essence's has broken the game, worst class design ever. World pvp is useless, u are forced to do certain things that you dont want to do to be competitive. A lot of bugs, and they boosted the Store to just win money.

If you want specifics feel free to browse any of the random reviews here, I won't bother going into details that change patch by patch and the list would go into the hundreds if not thousands of individual complaints. The real point is that blizzard released an absolutely garbage tier product and then ignored all the complaints until it was too late.

    Recently I saw Ion get on an interview and admit they made mistakes and were going to change things but it doesn't matter what they do now to potentially fix BFA; the damage is done and most people won't be back until next expansion at the earliest, if at all. When it comes down to it, you can't sit around for almost an entire year while your games burns then expect anyone to care about your apology for being part in destroying something cherished by millions. For me personally this was the final straw, the Blizzard of old is dead and gone; all that remains is a parasite wearing its skin.    … Expand

    This is easily the worst expansion ever created by ActivisionBli$$ard, and this is from a hardcore fan that have been playing since it's 2 months of release... it feels like they joined in a meeting and decided "Legion was ok right? So lets take EVERYTHING GOOD about Legion... and do COMPLETLY DIFFERENT" and thus we got fricking BfA. Here are the points that makes this expac pretty bad andThis is easily the worst expansion ever created by ActivisionBli$$ard, and this is from a hardcore fan that have been playing since it's 2 months of release... it feels like they joined in a meeting and decided "Legion was ok right? So lets take EVERYTHING GOOD about Legion... and do COMPLETLY DIFFERENT" and thus we got fricking BfA. Here are the points that makes this expac pretty bad and not worth my money anymore:

    1) Global Cooldown on Everything: It only took me somewhile to realize why would they do something so dumb as to this... Global Cooldown slows gameplay mecanics, turning it into a slower process, it is uncomfortable for rotations and completly destroys the surprise factor in casual PvPing, because you actually need to do a goddamn ritual to proc your bursts (This SUCKS pretty bad). Later on I realized why they did this... it was to make tournaments last longer, giving healers and pvp comps time to manage damages and outputs, it might sound fair in a 3v3 championship, but it is not in a casual pvp system, the countereffects is that healers are now immortals and would need more than 3 damage dealers to take down one healer, this turns evidencial as to most of the tournament matches, they force a losing team because both teams can't kill each other since heals are too strong by causing healing diminishing effects to 0% - 100% accordingly to the time the match is on
    2) The complete DEAFNESS between devs and beta testers where as to many classes there were complaints about mechanics, that specific stuff needed to be changed, there was a major consense as to ele shamans and shadow priests, that was completly ignored by devs... the game was "released" (I still think its on BETA right now), the problems the community said started to appear and the devs promissed a rework (for shamans and shadow priests) and nerfs to GLOBAL COOLDOWN on some classes like Prot Warriors on patch 8.1, which didn't came, they said that THERE WASN'T ENOUGH TIME FOR FEEDBACK AND TESTING (xD IKR?) so they'd need to wait for the next EXPAC for a rework (that felt like a spit on my face, tbh), they keep on nerfing classes that could virtually solo a healer like Assassination rogues, but the number of rogues in random battle grounds keep on rising (because the pvp is so crappy that no one wants to pop out of stealth except for a kill), and generally have an idea on how bad the expac is by the number of rogues in my team in a 10vs10 match, which is usually 3 or more.

    3) This expac went out really buggy, annoyingly buggy, even though this is not a factor that would make me stop playing the game (I've been to private servers, I know how buggy it can get), but there are alot of issues about performance since they decided to migrate into Windows 10 (The daily disconnect that disconnects you from the internet for about a sec, the disconnect on dying, locking your character in a disconnection limbo... all that crap)

    4) Ilvl does matter in PvP again, so you need to gear up your alts in a grindfest so that you can pvp in a good way and that's a problem because balancing over the patches is so fragile, that in the flick of change by the devs, turns your current main pretty bad in pvp/pve content, it's not consistent

    5)The azerite neck and talents SUCKS, I won't get far into this since they said they'd do an overhaul about it... the artifact weapons talents was good, this neck, not, it sucks.

    6) This expac is about taking away from the player instead of giving, I am used to the idea of "WOW, level 80 cap??? New talents??? Omg hero class Death Knight!!!" or "Level 90?? Wow I'm eager to test this Simbiosis skill balance dudus will have!" or "Level 110 and honor talents, ARTIFACT WEAPONS??? GREATER PYROBLAST??? NO ONE WILL TOUCHA MAH SPAGHETT NOW"... BfA = "They'll take away our artifacts??? What about our weapon talents??? Why would you take away my Ele Shaman Lava Cannon Build?? Will I still be able to blink as a dudu???"

    These are the major turnoffs that made me abandon 10 years of loyalty, there are other issues that are completly overlookable... and there are things that are good in the expac, but it doesn't come on top of all these f ups Bli$$ard did... I loved this new Mythic+ season, the Warmode is a good idea but that's just it... the gameplay feels really empty.    … Expand

    They say that we need to "experience" the world, so they nerf leveling hard so man has to buy leveling boosts to be done with the insanely boring and broken solo content. Why have leveling boosts if you really think leveling is fun and should be mandatory? You will get so many group quests and dungeon stuff you can't do because you are the only one playing solo in some old content. I regret buying this junk, and it even costs money per month to play this garbage... and still they have to make it as boring as possible. I only like the multiplayer aspect of MMOrpgs, but in WoW, you will be stuck playing solo for most of the time. Why is solo content even a thing in mmorpgs, still. when will this genre evolve?

    What would you get if Activision's financial department developed a video game? Battle for Azeroth. Everything is intended to keep you subscribing and paying for their additional services, with very little in terms of fun gameplay or design.

    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.
