    Came here cause of a forum thread on the wow forums. I honestly don't understand all this hate at all.. I am absolutely loving the game so far. The zones and story has completely sucked me in and my warrior feels more fun to play than it did back in highmaul. I am kinda sad they didn't make gladiator a real spec though haha.. the one good thing about warlords of draenor warrior.

BEAUTIFUL music once again, accompanied by gorgeous environments. Graphics are always getting a little boost. Is it Unreal 4 engine? God no, but what it is is gorgeous cartoon style graphics.

    BfA has more negative reviews than necessary. The game has its issues but the core of WoW is still very much alive, Raiding, Dungeons and PvP.

    Cons: GCD & Changes made to gear scaling to slow down gameplay. Forced Loot Rules. Removal of World quest addons and features, making WQ more of a chore and less social. Professions have been either made worthless or an absolute chore. PvP    BfA has more negative reviews than necessary.

    Azerite Armor.

    Pros:
    Communities - New social feature.
    Raiding.
    Mythic Plus.

    About BfA: The core experience can be saved with future patches. The ideas Blizzard made in BfA are great on paper, but didn't work out in practice. Islands are ment to be a 1 stop shop for Azerite power and with a weekly limit so you don't feel forced to grind. Yet it's a boring feature that offers nothing but repetitive gameplay. Warfronts are a missed opportunity. Azerite armor was made to keep the end game progression alive outside gearing but turned out to be a headache of chasing the best traits with limited sources & ways of doing so.

    Like all MMO's you can't judge an expansion this early on, I'm sure BfA with its 77 patch day cycle will be a good expansion at the end just like Legion. Sadly the early days have been a cluster with bugs and terrible systems.    … Expand

    At the announcement I was not a big fan of the ideas the had going forward with World of Warcraft, but now that its here and you can play it, they really did a great job. The story is amazing and engaging. Every quest is full of love and well crafted. Sure, we have to wait and see, if they are able to keep the high quality standards of Legion, but we are off at an amazing start. Well done Blizzard

    Le pongo un 8 para levantarle la nota a esta expansión que ni de lejos se merece la que tiene actualmente (3,8). La gente no sabe lo que es un juego de un 3 de media en valoración, y mucho menos de un 0, como le han puesto muchos resentidos a los que no les gusta que Blizzard no haga las cosas exactamente como ellos quieren que las hagan.

La gente no sabe lo que es un juego de un 3 de media en valoración, y mucho menos de un 0, como le han puesto muchos resentidos a los que no les gusta que Blizzard no haga las cosas exactamente como ellos quieren que las hagan.

    He visto lloros en el foro de WoW con sentido, pero otros diciendo que el warmode esta mal, no tiene sentido y un largo etcétera. El warmode le viene al WoW como anillo al dedo (Gente diciendo que estaba clarísimo el desbalance que iba a haber entre alianza y horda, como queriendo que haya un número exacto de jugadores de cada facción en cada servidor del WoW. Si no te gusta el warmode se puede desactivar, y ese 10% no es excusa porque prácticamente no se nota).

    Otra gente diciendo de denunciar a Blizzard por dar contenido fracmentado (cosa que lleva haciendo 14 años, de hecho, en eso consiste WoW), por tener varios bugs (no veo gente denunciando masivamente a Ubisoft por ser famosa por sus bugs) y un largo etcétera de lloros poco justificados.

    Lo de farmear AP también lo hicieron en Legion y mucha gente la cataloga de la mejor expansión de WoW, pero ahora todo el mundo se queja como si fuese nuevo.

    En fin, podría seguir dictando lloros sin sentido pero lo que quiero conseguir con esta crítica es abrir los ojos a alguna gente, si es posible, y enseñarles que esta expansión no tiene nada de malo respecto a como la pintan (de hecho a mi me gusta más que Legion, llamadme loco).

    ----------

    I put a 10 to raise the note to this expansion that even remotely deserves the one currently (3.8). People do not know what a 3-in-a-half game is in valuation, let alone a 0, as many resentful people have not liked that Blizzard does not do things exactly as they want them to do.

    I have seen tears in the WoW forum with sense, but others saying that the warmode is wrong, does not make sense and a long etcetera. The warmode comes to WoW as a ring to the finger (People saying that it was very clear the imbalance that was going to be between alliance and horde, as if it wanted to have an exact number of players of each faction in each WoW server. warmode can be disabled, and that 10% is not an excuse because it practically does not show).

    Other people saying to denounce Blizzard for giving fractional content (which has been doing 14 years, in fact, that is WoW), for having several bugs (I do not see people denouncing Ubisoft massively for being famous for their bugs) and a long etc. of little justified crying.

    Farming AP also did it in Legion and many people call it the best expansion of WoW, but now everyone complains as if it were new.

    Anyway, I could continue crying without meaning but what I want to achieve with this criticism is to open the eyes of some people, if possible, and show them that this expansion has nothing wrong with how they paint it (in fact, I like more than Legion, call me crazy).

    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.

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

But it most certainly isn't a "3" or "0" score; that's the salty, loud and obnoxious minority. Just ask the other players when you get in-game or try it for yourself.… Expand

Almost 14 years into its life it continues to be the biggest title in its relatively niche genre. Being a sequel to the Warcraft RPG series world of Warcraft expanded and shed a greater light on the Warcraft universe, character and story involved. What WoW did differently to its predecessors was have customized characters that you could make your own in the huge world.

    WoW is a PC exclusive game with intricate yet enjoyable combat mechanics. The game is rewarding to those who put the time into it and are at the peak of skill whilst keeping the game interesting enough for the less skilled or casual players. you start the game as a level one character with race and class of your choosing. You then work your way through a huge amount of different interesting and unique questing zones, travelling to other continents and even other planets, Leveling and increasing your characters power as you go. This part of the game could be considered the most boring part of the game for an experienced player but as a new player it feels fulfilling leveling your character and exploring the corners of the vast World of Warcraft. Once your character reaches maximum level the ‘End Game’ content begins for you and your character. Majority of this content is group based PvP or PvE that has different levels of difficulty, therefore requiring increasing levels of skill and co-ordination as you progress through them. Completing this content rewards you with new and better gear for your character hense increasing its power.

    One of world of warcrafts perks is it doesn't require amazing PC specs to run. Its graphics are simplistic and almost cartoony at time but there is detail where needed. However, some of the graphics in the zone created in the early stages of the game can look quite outdated which could off put some players as its where your characters level through initially. Overall the graphics in the game suit the feel and match the mechanics and abilities well.

    WoW releases Expansions to the game every 2 years that include a new continent or zones to level your character and raise the level cap of your characters. These expansions add an abundance of new content to the game throughout their life cycles. Within each expansion there are normally 2-4 major patches adding more major content such as new raids and dungeons as well as up to 4 minor patches that add new features and content to the game but in a lesser quantity. Each of these expansions cost upwards of £30 on top of the subscription fee of £10/month. Some find this too expensive for a game and have issue with the fact that it's so much money but to the hardcore player it is worth it for the sheer number of hours of play spent on the game.

    The narrative of the warcraft games is well known to be one of the best and most complex and intricate of any game. The shear amount of small intricate stories in each zone mixed in with the greater narrative of the game makes the world really feel alive. There is always something to discover as a new player or a veteran the immense amount of small details and stories are impressive to say the least.

    The user interface of world of warcraft is simple and easy for a new player to pick up although can be modified by add-ons or key binds to make things more efficient for the experienced player. There are many addons that can be used on world of warcraft that improve visual aspects or quality of life improvements.

    Overall world of warcraft is an extremely versatile game with many aspects to it for many types of player. However, the game does still have elements it could improve on. Many experienced players have been complaining about how simple the gearing system is currently and how receiving items doesn't fell as rewarding as it used to. This is defiantly an issue in my eyes, I feel the game caters slightly to the casual audience in all aspects of the end-game experience and makes it very simple to improve your gear with little skill. Hopefully in the future this can be changed to reward the players at a higher level more in a more suited way.

    Another issue is depending on what your style of gameplay is the game can have spells of down time and waiting around that feel very unfun and not rewarding for your time at all. (although most of the content isn't this way)

    I would give World of Warcraft a 7.8 out of ten it is a great fantasy MMO that is very inclusive but could be seen as relatively niche in style and gameplay.    … Expand

    I have been playing WoW on and off since Vanilla back in 2004. I'm now in my mid 20s with a full time job, and i can tell you that playing casually for a few hours a night is a great experience, regardless of the expansion. All these go hard, no life gamers who basically speed run through any new content and then complain they have nothing else to do have bigger problems than the ones with the game. Simply put, they need a life.

    Not everyone will grind this game day in and day out and run out of content in 3 days. Not everyone runs macros and treats the game like a job. In fact im willing to be most people play casually. And thats what games are for... to play casually and have fun. Which this game has plenty of. Sure, some the class changes dont tickle my fancy ( i play Disc Priest and the spells got a little **** with the latest patch) but even so I was able to adapt in probably 30 min of CASUAL play.

    So enough with the 0 score reviews, enough with the baseless complaining, because all you're doing is ruining the work of people who put thousands of hours of work into making this game, and basically spitting in their face.

    Enjoy the game, stop complaining, or if you dont like it ask for your money back, and stfu and go play fortnite.

    This has been my favorite expansion since WOTLK, been throwing hours into gearing , mythics, and World Quests.

    The stories while leveling are great, so much to them and easy to follow.

    Ive played WoW since Vanilla and have been enjoying Battle for Azeroth so far. Its clear that the negative feedback/frustrations from players last expansion over long patches of content drought was heard by the Devs and they've inserted much more variety of content into this expansion, perhaps maybe TOO many things to do/directions to be pulled, as it seems some of the systems aren't polished and require constant adjustments. I don't doubt these wrinkles will be ironed out as the expansion continues. But the introduction of a variety of Allied Races has been great, I personally cannot wait to play a Zandalari Troll Druid.

    Island Expeditions are a creative way to bring old expansion content/mob types into BfA while offering unique pets/toys/transmog set rewards. I hope to see more variety, perhaps special events (large scale PVP or seasonal islands) mixed in. Im neutral on Warfronts atm, I see those more for gearing alts as the expansion continues as most people's main characters are well above the 340 gear that drops.

    During legion many players were frustrated that abilities and spells were being removed, we no longer had raid buffs, our classes were slowly creeping towards 3-button rotations. I've been happy to see that slowly being reversed, and spells/buffs being reintroduced back to classes. I hope that trend continues and that player have more variety regarding talents/spec choices, etc. The Azerite system was an interesting concept as a possible fix for the issues players were having with carrying multiple gear sets and being forced to farm certain content for 1 item... but I don't think its a well-received nor successful replacement. Traits are unbalanced and we're still having to carry multiple azerite pieces around for different encounters. Additionally, classes with healing/tank offspecs have to carry around even more pieces as they're seeking out the best traits.

    In regards to the zones themselves, the art team has continued to just keep making better and more beautiful zones with each expansion. It was very nostalgic to once again have these expansive and big "main" city with Boralus and Dazar'alor. The music and ambiance is excellent, the variety of creatures and NPCs is refreshing, especially after a legion of puke green fel splattered over literally everything. The dungeons and interior of Uldir is equally as impressive.

    * On a side note about the negative user reviews below- its quite obvious that most of them are viewers of a certain popular WOW streamer on Twitch- not only from the time of the posts (he visited the site on stream), but because most of them are over dramatic, over-generalizations about how EVERYTHING sucks in the game and "OMG BfA is so bad blah blah blah" (but don't really lists specifics, nor can they come up with 1 positive thing about the expansion). Its unfortunate that they are being given platforms to express their specific concerns with the game, say how they believe it should be fixed... and instead they just want to jump on the "I hate this game, gamers rise up, lets stick it to Blizzard" hate-wagon, drop a 0 review on every review platform they can find, and then log back into the game and continue to play while they farm Reddit karma and wait for a transmog contest.

    I don't believe these streamers want this of their community, these streamers LOVE this game, its a huge part of their life, they want it to work. They want their concerns and voices heard, valued, and their suggestions for improvement taken seriously, in an attempt at hopefully improving some of these issues so more people can continue playing the game.

    All the trolling posters, going around spamming 0 reviews on every website is going to do is dilute the reviews/feedback with actual listings of frustrations, issues, concerns, and suggestions- making it even harder for Blizzard to "hear" your concerns.

    Edit #1- I didn't mean to imply "every single bad review" as I referenced that the streamer was just currently on the Metacritic site. i know this because I was a viewer in the chat at the time and watched the reviews going up during that time period. I will accept that I could have worded it better as to what "group" of 0 reviews within the list I was directly referring to.
    Your attempt at accusing me of criticizing multiples sites is you projecting now, as this is actually one of the only times I've addressed it. Mainly because its technically also a derailment from the issues/solutions. You gave a 1/10... a ONE..So do you really want to start insinuating "inflated" reviews. Its pretty clear that deflated your review in the same way. Even if your argument was that the few things you listed are only 10% of the game so worth 1pt/10, then you're saying that you 100% hate every other single aspect of the expansion (as you gave 0 of the remaining 9 review pts).

The final season of Mythic Plus introduced one of the most enjoyable seasonal affixes in the form of Awakened, and as much as some people dislike the random procs, it was a great feeling when your Twilight Devastation went off on a particularly rough pack of enemies.

    8.3 content wise was again nice, but the loot changes like the removal of titanforge or the idea that really only raids drop viable gear for all content is idiotic and made this patch largely raid or die so I just cba playing it after a while.

    More of the same with extremely unbalanced factions and a subpar experience if you choose the wrong faction (Alliance).

    I have my own way to play WoW, I'm collecting Mounts, often in old content areas and leveling many alts. I really loved the world and setting of BfAand therefore I rated the game with a 10.

    Many people rate the content, bugs. It wasn't really relevant to me, I've done like 3 or 4 island expeditions in the entire BfA time and few warfronts to get my mounts. I'm not a mythic raider.

    God awful game. I don't get how people like this game. The raids and gameplay are so dull. The graphics look like its still from 1999-2001ish. It should've gotten at least a small upgrade by now.
    I've tried it probably 4 times for a month on and off since 2018. Final Fantasy XIV is superior in everyday.. And unlike blizzard. Square enix isn't known to s3xually harassing their employees.    God awful game. I don't get how people like this game. The raids and gameplay are so dull.

    Я не понимаю, как такая некогда солидная компания смогла испортить такую легендарную игру. Графика - отстой. Игра превратилась в донатную помойку, в которую не интересно играть.

    I don’t understand how such a once solid company could ruin such a legendary game. Graphics suck. The game has turned into a donated trash heap, which is not interesting to play.

    WoW is an awesome game, but this expansion for it is awful. Most zones and their storylines are dull. Also, maybe I'm a noob, but Frost Mage is so weak and unbalanced. I usually die to quest mobs in this expansion. Mobs are always the same level as the player, so you can't grind up and defeat them. Why do they send players to Kul Tiras/Zandalar who just completed starting zones? I wouldWoW is an awesome game, but this expansion for it is awful. Most zones and their storylines are dull.

    You can still play, but there is no alignment anymore and the whole game moves to the farm of armor in other content (not random bg) waste of time - it does not bring pleasure in the process of the 2nd of the worst additions in my memory.

    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.

    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.
