    Awful, toxic, greedy, racist, grindy and pretty outdated game in all sorts of areas. It's just as horrible as the previous two expansions.

    Jeu raciste et dépassé. En 2023, il n'y a toujours pas de logement pour les joueurs ni d'options convenables pour les races jouables, pas d'armure décente non plus. Mais il y a toujours une stricte ségrégation raciale.

    82 out of 100? This once again clearly demonstrates that the official critics were most likely paid for such blatantly false statements. Just like what happened with Rotten Tomatoes. It's simply embarrassing to promote something that is evidently of poor quality.

    This expansion makes the same mistakes as the two previous ones and offers players an absolute minimum of content.    82 out of 100?

    This expansion makes the same mistakes as the two previous ones and offers players an absolute minimum of content. Essentially, it's the same outdated things as it has been for years, just under a different name and with a different coat of paint.

    Things like the new playable race, which is nothing more than a lazy reskin that can't even wear anything and the poorly executed imitation of GW2 dragon riding are pretty much the only new things, and even that isn't really new.
    And now they've introduced the second content patch, and once again, there's nothing new, just the same stuff with a new name. How about caring for all your social problems for exampe, like your toxic limitations and the glorified racism in game, which you force your players to participate in? Naaah, let's put something new in the store instead!    … Expand

    A buggy, grindy and outdated mess.
    Let's take the stuff from the new patch to name only one example of an overly disaster that is Dragonflight.
    There is a new heritage armor quest that the devs probably made at 4am in the morning before release. Between npcs getting stuck, phases failing to work correctly, being jettisoned out of a cutscene into a barrage of near death and not to mention    A buggy, grindy and outdated mess.

Between npcs getting stuck, phases failing to work correctly, being jettisoned out of a cutscene into a barrage of near death and not to mention the sheer lack of care given to the story itself. All it was, was rehashed stuff from Cata with the usual amount of retcons to make it extra ridiculous.

    Like seriously, the devs aren't even trying anymore.

    But Dragonflight in general is a hot mess.
    With Dragon Riding as a very poor imitation of Guid Wars' flying system, that laughable new race Dracthyr, which is just a reskinned female Worgen, which can't use transmoggs, is stuck to male blood elf and female human with some rainbow scales, instead of just giving all races for visage and yes, it has wings, but guess what? It can't even fly. xD
    You really can't make this stuff up.
    Well and like so many others already mentioned, this game is just horrendously outdated and the devs turn a blind eye on it, on stuff like racism with their racial segregation stuff still going on for the playable factions, even though this archaic stuff forces players to choose a faction they don't like, just because the whole system stays racist for some reason, gear is not dyeable... no joke, they don't have that in wow xD, well the general lack of customizations or player housing etc. This goes along with many, many time consuming grinds, pay walls upon pay walls and the usual stuff like unbalanced classes.

    And it's not getting any better; quite the opposite. While Legion at least had a mediocre quality in terms of story, the quality plummeted from the end of Legion/beginning of BFA. The same applies to Shadowlands and now Dragonflight.

    Additionally, for some reason, almost every NPC on the Dragon Isles is LGBTQ+. Considering the previous expansions, this suddenly comes out of nowhere and is everywhere. Some of it is okay, but does it really need to be the main theme everywhere consistently?
    Especially because it's hard to take seriously from a company like Blizzard. While everything has been painted in rainbow colors, the underlying structure is still as racist as ever, as there is still racial separation for Horde and Alliance.
    So instead of appearing inclusive, Blizzard comes off as particularly hypocritical with Dragonflight.

    In short, for anyone looking to try the game for its story, I would strongly advise against it.    … Expand

    As many have already written, it's pretty intense that the devs think a racist faction system is still cool in 2023. Not only has it constantly led to disputes among players over the years when one faction gets a mainstream race and the other gets junk, but it's also simply outdated to determine loyalty based on race.
    I mean, sorry, but how toxic do you have to be as a dev to choose racism, of all things, as the deciding factor for which of the two factions you can join?

    Also often noted are the laughably outdated graphics when it comes to avatar models and their minimal customization options, as well as the completely outdated world graphics and all the missing features that an MMO should have had for a decade now, but are still not present in WoW.

    So sorry, but anyone who thinks that with Dragonflight, WoW has finally caught up with modern times and other games will be sorely disappointed.    … Expand

Además, no puede elegir su forma humanoide como otros dragones en el juego. ¿Por qué no nos dieron todas las razas? Por supuesto, porque los desarrolladores de este juego son extremadamente vagos.

    Además, las mismas restricciones racistas siguen vigentes. La lealtad de las razas sigue vinculada a la segregación racial. Mantener algo así es simplemente repugnante.

    Además, este juego está extremadamente desactualizado y está muy por detrás de prácticamente todos los juegos modernos. Ya sea en términos de gráficos, opciones de personalización, viviendas para jugadores, que ni siquiera existen, y otras características.

And even though dragons in that universe can choose what they want to look in visage, well, these guys can't for some reason, so players are stuck with a male blood elf model and a female human model. They made both of them look like drag queens for some reason.
    The typical stuff like almost non existent customisation options and clunky avatar models. Racial segregation for Alliance and Horde, because the devs love their glorified racism system. Still no player housing, even though we are in mid 2023. Dozens of currencies to upgrade the gear, only to be useless with the next patch again in order to force players to buy each and every month, same with the trader's post, which only exists because the devs love FOMO/fear of missing out, because again, the sub fee is still a thing, despite all of the microtransactions.

    Many, many, many microtransactions, unbalanced classes, outdated graphics, limited customization, a lazy Worgen reskin for a "new" race, which can't use all races for visage, despite being a dragon and a perceived focus on performative woke elements in the story have culminated in a lackluster experience, too. And as mentioned by other people, it's plain hypocritical, considering that the whole game is still holding on to racial segregation and with that a racist concept for Horde and Alliance. And it seems as if the devs don't plan to change their racist corner stone of the game.
    I had hoped for innovation, engaging content and a fresh direction, but no, same old content, minimal effort from the devs.

    My experience has been tinged with disillusionment. The expansion's direction and content have not lived up to my expectations, leaving me with a mix of frustration and regret... yet again, because bfa and shadowlands were really lackluster, too.    … Expand

    Simplement parce que les développeurs sont extrêmement paresseux. Les éléments normaux des MMO tels que les logements pour les joueurs, etc., n'existent évidemment pas et l'histoire reste toujours déplorable.

    Catastrophic. However, after the last two expansions, it's pretty much beyond salvaging.
    There's an abundance of cringe, they keep adding retcons and no offense, but it's quite odd how almost everyone on the dragon isles is suddenly a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
    Especially when you compare it to the game's setting of the past 17 years or so. Not that they can't include it if they want, but when out of nowhere almost everyone is portrayed this way, it feels a bit forced.
    It's also peculiar to introduce something like this more or less overnight while maintaining strict racial divisions between the Alliance and the Horde.
    So lgbtq+ is great, but racism is also great? Really?

    It comes across as hypocrisy, trying to gain some sympathy points, that they've lost due to numerous dubious decisions in recent years.

    The rest is just the usual stuff that's been written about countless times by others.

You want to be a certain race, but you have zero freedom to choose which side to join. It operates on a deplorable racial segregation principle. I mean, seriously?

    The second impression: The humanoid races look completely ridiculous. It's as if the designers had only a rough idea of the human body (applies to the elves as well) and haphazardly pieced them together. The result is blocky old men on steroids with deformed Barbie dolls as their female counterparts. The craftsmanship in this game is truly amateurish.

    Then the third impression: Laughable customization options. Not only are there hardly any options available, but the few that exist are completely outdated. No different body models, no sliders for muscles, body size, etc. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

    Then you enter the world and are greeted with graphics that leave much to be desired and likely haven't received updates since the game's release in 2005. Well, that's not entirely true. Some spots here and there look newer than others, which makes the overall picture even worse because you have the new mixed with the ancient.

    And the story... My goodness, not only is it completely jumbled up in different zones, making little to no sense in the end, but there are also constant inconsistencies that contradict what happened before.
    The game is riddled with retcons and utterly bizarre story elements. You rarely see something so utterly ridiculous.

    I could go on, but I think this review is already long, so I'll leave it at that.
    I don't think I need to mention that I don't plan on continuing to play WoW. Moreover, I find it quite audacious how many microtransactions they've stuffed in, considering that every new expansion needs to be purchased separately and on top of that, there's a monthly subscription fee. For the junk they're serving to players? No thanks. I'm surprised that there are still people willing to put up with this garbage, but to each their own, I guess.    … Expand

    The little content that exists is heavily stretched so that players are forced to keep paying every month. The newly introduced trading post is designed to trigger a fear of missing out (FOMO) among players, again with the purpose of ensuring monthly subscription payments to not miss out on any items.

    The developers stick to an extremely racist system, forcing players to choose a faction solely based on the race they want to be. The graphics and customization options could be from the early 2000s. Still no player housing. The new playable race is a complete joke and uses an old model; they didn't even bother to create two genders for that race, showing the laziness of the developers.

    Llevo jugando al Wow desde el inicio y siempre he disfrutado sus expansiones, algunas mejores, otras bastante peores, pero siempre he tenido una cantidad razonable de disfrute y aprovechamiento de mi dinero.
    Lo que siempre me encantó fue la historia, la música, el ambiente, todo creaba una sensación de inmersión fascinante. Todo eso para mí está arruinado en esta expansión y explico por qué.
    El exagerado y omnipresente contenido LGTBQ me impide creer que realmente son especies luchando por su supervivencia, ya que obviamente el tipo de relaciones que presenta la expansión continuamente son ESTÉRILES. Tampoco ayuda hablar a algún carácter de físico femenino y oír la voz de un maromo, por ejemplo, ¿Hormonación en sociedades primitivas y en guerra? Ridículo.
    El problema de seguir ideologías y relatos creadas por ingenieros sociales es que muchas veces van contra natura, creando situaciones completamente absurdas o imposibles, que destrozan la narrativa y por supuesto la inmersión. Eso hace años que lo estamos viendo en Hollywood y ahora por desgracia también ha llegado al Wow.
    Personalmente, creo que es contraproducente forzar historias o situaciones por modas o tendencias porque a la larga provocas un sentimiento de hartazgo y rechazo, generando lo contrario de lo que dices defender y de paso destrozando una buena historia.
    Los gráficos están bien, nada espectacular, pero son correctos.
    La música lo mismo, un poco sosa comparada con las antiguas.
    Inicialmente, te atrae unos días, pero termina siendo una expansión monótona y decepcionante.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros:

    - The levelling experience was good
    - Vault of the Incarnates was not a bad raid
    - Having a mixture of mythic+ current content and past content makes it much more fresh.
    - The environment and atmosphere is worse than it was in Shadowlands, but is still satisfactory.

    Cons:

    -There is no sense of accomplishment in any content. If you begin a season at the start, anything you do will be devalued by the 20 waves of nerfs to dungeons, affixes, raid bosses and dungeon bosses. This can be resolved by taking the time to balance the game and not making content too difficult to begin with, something Blzzard is unfamiliar with,
    - The class talent rework is the literal definition of illusion of choice. There is 1 choice. Minmax single target tree or Minmax aoe tree.
    - The story is more Disney cartoon than Fantasy RPG. The Dracthyr look ridiculous, the dragonflight are a copy paste of Power Rangers. The Villains are obvious and boring.
    - I have no interest in the lore. I don't care for the Dracthyr. I don't care for the Dragonflight. I don't care for the Dragon Isles. I don't care for Dracthyr Commander #3 being the end raid boss and the 38 second cinematic of him dying that follows.

    First off, let's talk about this so-called new race, the Dracthyr. I mean, come on, this race is basically a hastily reskinned female Worgen model. Seriously? Not to mention, they can't even properly equip armor like the rest of the races in the game.
    Now, let's get into their visage form. These poor dragonkin are either stuck looking like a male Blood Elf or a female Human.

Not to mention, they can't even properly equip armor like the rest of the races in the game.
    Now, let's get into their visage form. These poor dragonkin are either stuck looking like a male Blood Elf or a female Human. Which is pretty lame, considering that in the WoW universe, dragons can look like whatever they want. I mean, we've seen dragons that look like Tauren, Vulpera, Gnoms and what not for crying out loud. Clearly, this is just another example of the devs being lazy and not wanting to put in the effort to give us all playable races.
    And don't even get me started on the continued race segregation. It's like they're stuck in the past or something, still dictating what faction you have to choose based on your race. We should have moved past this kind of restrictive game design.

    Another big bummer with Dragonflight is the absence of player housing. This feature has been requested by the player base for years, and it seems the devs just turned a deaf ear to it. And the state of the professions in this expansion? Don't even get me started. I find the end game incredibly convoluted and I highly doubt I’m alone in that thought and without any fun side activities... well, not really worth spending time in this game.

    Time-gating continues to be a major issue, too. It's just a thinly veiled attempt to extend the life of the content artificially and it's annoying as heck. And the dragon riding feature, while cool in theory, just feels like a poor imitation of what Guild Wars 2 has been doing for years. And as for the customization options for the races? They're so bare-bones it's laughable.

    Oh, and let's not forget about the story. It's like the creative team just phoned it in.

    Dragonflight feels like a massive missed opportunity. It's clear the developers didn't put the time and effort into making this expansion the best it could be.    … Expand

    PvP has become unbearable. Hardly anyone plays it anymore, so you have to wait for hours just to start a match. And when you finally get in, it's often completely unbalanced, like 4 vs 10 or something. How is that even possible? Not to mention that the classes and factions are still completely unbalanced; I won't even get started on that.

    But that brings me to the next point. After all these years, they still keep the racial separation for the factions. I mean, seriously? They include all sorts of LGBTQ+ stuff in the story, but racial separation is still considered good and necessary? Yeah, right.

    Basic MMO features like player housing or finally decent looking gear are, of course, still nonexistent in this game. They just don't exist, and the outdated graphics and models of playable races still haven't been updated.

    So, all in all, there's really nothing new in this expansion. Just more of the same.    … Expand

    Dragonflight will be a history lesson on how to kill a game in a single patch, 10.1.5. My expectations for Blizzard games and WoW are rock-bottom, but yet they can release a patch that is worse than my lowest expectations.

    A 2 for the scenery and the dragon riding (which they copy pasted from Guild Wars 2). It boils down to raid/m+ or die, and the rest of the gameplay is more or less just the same as it was 10 years ago. The new race looks bad and lazy beyond belief. This has been my 5th restart of wow over the last 14 years, and most certainly my last.

    Some of the worst class balancing I have ever seen. Why? There should be weekly updates. I don't think they play their own game.

    PVP being easy to gear was a lie. Blue vs conquest set is 100k health, 10% main stat, and tier bonus. Damage with cooldowns is multiplicative so you have no chance! No real catchup system. There should not be a gear difference in pvp, as in : 0.00% and if there are tier bonuses then everybody should get it.

    Naxx / tier3 has a completely unnecessary grind. Not only do you need lots of RNG farming and millions of gold, you need someone with full tier3 to craft tier3. Who thought that was a good idea? It should have been an unlock like old scholomance and be old naxx period.

    Dragon"flight" is gliding with extra steps. It isn't like flying. It is more suited for a minigame. And stolen from GW2.

    Raid/m+ or die...again. Rated pvp only for select classes/specs. Solo shuffle should have a mode without healers. Unnecessary barrier of entry for everything.

    3rd failed expansion in a row. Wasn't going to bother but I wanted to see the Naxx content. Big mistake as trying to get tier3 isn't worth it.

Some people might like the hamster wheel, but I can't stand having to re-gear my characters every few weeks just to be ablle to play. Not for a subscription, anyway.
    Time gated professions killed that activity for me. I don't have the time to collect all available knowledge points per week for all of them.

Yes, I can have my chars in the opposing faction's guild, but I can't do open world of lfr/D with guild members, I can't freely choose to be whatever race I enjoy in the opposing faction, because racism in wow is still treated as something necessary.

But honestly, it's just ridiculous when you consider that they also want to retain racists on their side by keeping the ancient Horde and Alliance faction system. Because it's not your values that matter, but your race. The freedom for all races to choose whom they are loyal to doesn't exist except for Pandaren and Evoker. It's still strictly sorted by race, not by the cause you stand for.
    And honestly, claiming to be tolerant because there's suddenly so much LGBTQ representation while keeping racism unchanged... well, that's just laughable.
    They seem to have no idea which group they want to appeal to in general. Now with Dragonflight, it seems like they want to attract mainly young children, but just two expansions ago, they let one of the playable factions commit genocide one after another.
    So no offense, but maybe they should decide who the game is for. It's drifting in very opposite directions.
    Overall though, wow just isn't fun anymore. Seems as if they put more effort in to microtransactions than in actual content.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've played this on the public test realm and the live servers.
    Been playing WOW since 2010.
    I am a dragon addict. Straight up thot for them. I have had to restart the dragon isles quests 3 times.
    Evoker class is terrible for soloing. I died so much I had to switch to my druid for tank.
    Progression literally takes so long it's not worth paying g $15/ month just to get to the end of the story.
    While waiting for payday to buy the expansion, I decided to create a new toon to catch up on the lore. The toon was max level before I even got to the 2nd area of Burning Crusade! And I can't get any more xp until I buy the expansion and even then, 10 levels isn't enough!
    The grind is still there but people just want to be maxed so they can get to the expansion content, but what is the point of completing the quests if you don't get any xp?

    It really does show that blizzard had to re-release the Classic servers just to appease the angry fans and keep making money off the people who rage quit the live game. The dragon riding is **** Your mount running out of vigor when you are less than a minute in flight when you are just traveling is **** We've had mounts that don't do that for years and it feels like a downgrade. And the abilities they charge are just fancy ways to go faster. They can do all of this **** we didn't ask for but no mounted combat?!

    Professions are now confusing and cluttered. Having to have different levels of a hobby that only goes up depending on the area you are in is so awful. Just have new recipes to unlock or maybe a new skill, NOT the entire progression of the profession itself. Cmon, you expect me to max out classic, Outland, northrend, cataclysm, pandaria, draenor, legion, kul tiras, shadow lands, AND dragon isles now?! Bugger off! All this for low level gear we can't wear, enchantments/toys nobody buys, and food we don't need to eat because our bars recharge when we just sit still!

    It's too much in places it needs less, and not enough in places we need more. With how much they rake in micro transactions now on top of a monthly sub and what we paid for the expansion, we deserve better.    … Expand

    I assume that particularly the racism in the game stands out. Don't get me wrong, you can of course have racism in games, but it becomes problematic when something like this is treated as good and necessary, and that is the case in wow. The very first thing a player has to do, because they have no choice, is to choose a faction based on the race they want to be.
    This means that they are sorted purely based on their appearance and not on the values they represent.
    So racial segregation is still the norm here, even after twenty years, and it is portrayed as important.

    You can think about it what you want, but for one thing, I find it extremely limiting for players who cannot freely choose their faction, and ethically speaking, it is obviously not up to date.

    But unfortunately, that is not the only thing that is not up to date.

    The game is designed in such a way that you have to constantly chase a carrot on a stick instead of making real MMORPG content.

    That means grinding until you drop with stupid and constantly repetitive tasks.
    Then there is the really terribly outdated graphics. They basically just slap a new island in every expansion and completely ignore the rest of the world, which is now almost two decades old. This creates terrible contrasts that really hurt your eyes, but apparently, they don't care.

    The story... you rarely see something this bad.
    While there were still a few good aspects here and there until Legion, since the last patch of Legion and the prepatch of Battle for Azeroth, it has been a pure disaster, and Dragonflight is unfortunately no exception.

    Anyone, who is coming from other mmos will completely miss standard features like player housing and reasonable customization options for playable characters here.
    Player housing doesn't exist, and the customization options for races are extremely limited and at a level that might have been acceptable ten years ago but certainly not today.

    Professions are now a complete mess and are no longer fun.

    The classes are still very unbalanced and proper cross faction play with lfr, chat, trading, etc. is still not possible.
    They are extremely slow in opening up new options because they apparently find it so incredibly terrible to allow their players to play with other players in their MMO.

    As a new feature there are the Evokers this time, but they too are a disappointment.
    In dragon form they look like female worgen with scales and in humanoid form they only gave them female humans and male blood elves instead of all races.
    This race is just extremely lazy, sorry.

    Dragon riding is unfortunately just a bad copy of Guild Wars 2 and not really fun.

    It's nice that they finally recognize, after almost 20 years, that dividing players into two factions and not letting them play together is extremely harmful, but they still only allow minimal improvements with cross faction guilds, which still have plenty of restrictions that continue to make the gameplay catastrophic.
    At the forefront, of course, as many have already mentioned, is the fact that you can't even do simple things like choosing your favorite faction along with your favorite races. Why? Because the developers apparently want to cling desperately to their racial segregation in the game. Apparently, they still think that racism is super cool as the foundation of their game. It's really just puzzling.

    Well, that's nothing new, though. So, to get back to this expansion, there's really nothing worth mentioning.
    For example, the new race Dracthyr isn't really new at all, but just an old model with scales and a tail, as well as wings glued on. To save time, the Dracthyr have only one gender and can't even wear clothes. Nope, that's not a joke. They can only take on the form of a male blood elf and a female human in visage, whom they gave a bit more makeup and colorful hair. According to Blizzard, that is a brand new race...

    Dragon Riding is already known in a better form in Guild Wars 2. Here in WoW, they just copied it without making it as interesting as in GW2. And that's all there is to new features.

    So if there isn't anything significant coming soon, this expansion can also be considered a failure again. There's more to criticize, but it's probably already been mentioned by others.    … Expand

No wonder they're dragging everything out and trying to keep us occupied with mindless activities that can go on forever.

    Anyway, similar to the previous expansions, the story this time around is completely ridiculous. Thanks to the massive allegations against the developers, they've hastily added a lot of LGBT content to the game, and you'll encounter one trans NPC and member of the LGBT community after the other during your quests, and now there aren't even two genders for the player anymore.

    Considering how the story was before, this comes out of nowhere, of course. I wouldn't even mention it though, but when you have a game like WoW, whose foundation is built on extreme racism and segregation and you leave that part unchanged... well, anyone who takes Blizzard's desperate attempt at progressivism seriously probably can't be helped anymore. Sure, they'll soon allow cross-faction guilds, but that's where it ends already. There will still be strict racial segregation between factions. The race you want to be will still force you to choose only one of the two factions. So, you still have no freedom in this game. Everything is dictated by your appearance. That is everything but progressive.

    But it doesn't stop there. This game is miles behind others in every imaginable aspect and is just outdated through and through, or I would almost call it archaic in its current state.

There is no player housing, no modern customization options, clunky models, clipping, hardly any emotes for playable characters, and they can't even wear a hat without their hair disappearing completely from their heads.

    Instead of catching up to other games, Blizzard prefers to rely on the remaining whales and addicts who simply can't let go, no matter how bad the game may be. The story is still terrible, but who is surprised after Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands? And the rest of the game consists solely of renown grinds and dungeons, as well as raids that you can undertake with completely unbalanced classes.    … Expand

They even use the female Worgen model instead of getting their own. Being lazy seems to be a big thing with the devs these days. The visage form is also a joke, as they only allow female humans and male Blood Elves, even though they're supposed to be dragons and all races should be available.

    Dragon riding was poorly copied from Guild Wars 2 and that's about it for the new features. The rest is just the old concept: grinding until you drop, only to start over again with the next patch. Send as much real money as possible to Blizzard to buy tokens, which you can then use to buy gear for m+, etc., only to miss out on more money with the next patch and start all over again.

    The game is just really bad, and as others have mentioned, all the restrictions, especially with faction choice, which is still dominated by the archaic race separation, well... playing wow just isn't fun and with Dragonflight, they're just repeating the same old stuff that hardly anyone can stand anymore.
    And the next patch? Again, more of the same.

    Wow is an absolute disaster and the only ones who are still left playing this game are mainly composed of the most toxic bunch I have ever seen, but that is probably no surprise. The entire game design of WoW is incredibly toxic with its strict racial segregation between the two factions and the clear favoritism of certain groups over others.

The entire game design of WoW is incredibly toxic with its strict racial segregation between the two factions and the clear favoritism of certain groups over others.

    The game is basically only designed for mindless raid and dungeon running, and even there, you have to be careful about what classes you choose, as certain classes are clearly favored by the devs.

    As for the world in this game... it's just terrible what it has become. It's bad enough that the story hasn't made any sense since the end of Legion, but on top of that, the devs refuse to update their own world in terms of graphics. Even in the cities where players hang out, the graphics have largely remained unchanged since the early 2000s, making it look extremely ugly.

    The same applies, of course, to the playable races such as humans and elves, which simply look terribly outdated and have not received any modern customization options to correct their weirdly shaped bodies.
    The devs literally celebrate themselves when they give their players maybe 5 new hair colors for one or two races every few months.
    I also saw many people mentioning the lack of player housing in WoW, or simple things like dyeable armor, sliders to adjust body size, etc. And yes, as I said, WoW is just more than outdated, but they also do nothing to catch up with other games.

    I guess it's enough for them to exploit the whales and wannabe elite players instead of trying to win back all of their lost players.    … Expand

    By the time you get to the Forbidden Reach in this new patch, you've got every horrible, frustrating component in the game thrown in during the first hour of the patch. Hard to locate quests stuffed in a stray mountain surrounded by trees, tag-a-long questers who block the actual quest objects you're trying to pick up, frustrating terrain with zero color or personality, and quests and enemies packed in so far together that you can't tell one from another.

    If I had to describe "Return to Forbidden Reach," it's "Poorly done book report thrown together by a third grader at the last minute." Yes, you packed 20 quests here, but there's no pacing, no story line, and absolutely no reason to do any of it. If you do get a great new piece of armor, it won't be in your class.

    What makes it even more difficult is that the ONLY people left playing this game are Twitchers, professional gamers, or diehards. So if you do by chance try the end game, I can guarantee you'll have a miserable time and deal with the most obnoxious people imaginable. They refused to listen to the chorus of people explaining that difficulty level in Shadowlands was far too much for people with family, careers, and lives, and chose to stick with an end-game that requires way too much study and far too many reflexes and time for anyone getting older (You know, the people who originally loved Warcraft).

    But the real problem with WoW is the lack of immersion.
    There's no class identity, the storytelling is cringeworthy and constantly retconned, still no player housing and the toxic restrictions the devs force upon players are just infuriating. Seriously, who builds their two faction system upon racism and then tries to claim they're progressive because they've thrown in a few LGBTQ stories and characters?
    It's hypocritical at best and downright a frustrating restriction for players.

    And even if you are interested in the bad story of the game, you're not even allowed to see it unless you spend days, or even weeks, grinding for renown. The whole game seems to be designed to be as repetitive as possible, just to milk players' monthly subscription fees.

    And finally, let's talk about the lack of fresh content. Dragonflight is like a stale piece of bread that's been left out in the sun for too long. The developers seem to be relying on recycled old systems, rather than coming up with anything new and exciting.

While some may still find enjoyment in the game, it's hard to overlook the significant flaws that plague this expansion.

    One of the biggest problems with Dragonflight is the number of bugs. From game-breaking glitches to minor annoyances, the sheer volume of bugs makes the game feel unfinished and unpolished. It's frustrating to encounter problems that could have easily been fixed before release.

    Another issue is the class imbalance, which makes certain classes feel op while others are left in the dust. It's a problem that has been present in previous expansions, but it's disappointing to see it still exists in Dragonflight.
    The profession and crafting system is another letdown, with few improvements made from previous expansions.
    Despite the game's longevity, there is still no player housing system. This is a common feature in modern MMOs, and its absence in wow is a significant disappointment for players who want to create a personal space in the game. Additionally, many modern MMO features are lacking, making wow feel outdated compared to its competitors.

    The new playable race, Dracthyr, is also a letdown. Not only is it a boring looking, but its limited options for visage customization are baffling. A dragon should be able to take on the appearance of any race, not just male blood elf and female human. This restriction makes little sense and is a missed opportunity for players to create unique characters.
    The avatar models for the existing races are outdated and lack customization options. The transmog system is also outdated, and many sets use the same designs with different colors.
    WoW also still suffers from too much focus on e-sports and not enough on actual MMORPG content. The game's racial segregation is still in place, which means that players cannot choose their favorite faction and races together. This outdated faction system is holding the game back in free player choice.

    The story in Dragonflight is locked behind a grindy renown system, which makes it difficult to fully experience the game's narrative. The storytelling itself is also lackluster, with little depth or nuance. This is a significant disappointment again.

    Finally, the graphics in many zones of the old world are very, very, very dated and unimpressive. The game feels more or less the same as it has for years, with few new additions to make it feel fresh and exciting.

    Let's start with so-called new features:
    Dragon flying. It's good to let players fly right at the beginning, but it is not really flying. It is a watered-down version of the flying system in Guild Wars 2.
    I am not in general against copying features from other games, but they should at least do it right. Dragon riding in wow is not good and so far we can only use four mounts in the new zone. Not fun.

    Dracthyr is an overhauled female Worgen model, which even kept some of the Worgen animations like the sitting pose. Not very innovative. The design by itself is in my opinion meh, especially the head is really tiny compared to the body.
    What bothers me the most however is the fact, that despite it being a dragon, the dracthyr can't use all playable races for visage, but only female human and blood elf. That and in dragon form they can't use transmogs.
    All in all this race looks like a last minute project, which never got finished.

    I wish there would be more new features, but that is pretty much all. So I fully understand people complaining that they got shafted with this expansion. Blizzard gave us more of the same, but of course charged us anyway for this expansion.

    I think what they should do in order to save this expansion is:
    Adding all playable races for visage and to give the dragon form transmogs.
    Making all races neutral and available for both factions asap. As many stated, racism should not be a pillar of this game.
    Get skilled devs for the classes.
    Update the graphics, models and expand on the customizations (no, not just 5 more hair colors every few months. That is laughable and pretty embarrassing).
    Add mmorpg features, instead of making everying about e-sport.

    I can only repeat other people, but it is true, after almost 20 years there are still no updates for the visuals in this game. Most zones look hideous in wow.

    Another point I'd like to agree on is the criticism regarding racism in wow.
    The whole game uses racism as it's foundation. Let that sink in.
    Even though we are living in the 21. century. Racial segregation is not treated as bad, but as good for the faction system of Horde and Alliance. Race is more important than value. I think I don't need to add more.
    It's both from a gameplay perspective and from an ethical point of view a really bad restriction for the community. Races should be neutral, yet they aren't. Race is more important than anything else in this game. The way you look is what dictates what faction you are allowed to join.

    While dragon riding as the only new feature in this expansion makes travel across the dragon isles easier than in previous expansions, it becomes boring very fast. because we aren't allowed to use our normal mounts and dragon riding is also really bad for farming.

Like wtf is wong with the devs. This game looks so old and ugly. It is also rather ugly to keep racial segregation like I saw a few mention already. Like... what gives to keep such a racist system for the factions Blizzard?

    Overall there is not much to name in this expansion. We get basically the same things like always, so be prepared to get bored very fast if you are not a m+ raider. I don't like that weird looking Dracthyr race either. Looks like Worgen with scales and it has only male blood elf and female human with rainbow hair for visage. Not really appealing and really boring looking.    … Expand

    Better than Shadowlands.

    Pros: Better graphics. Better music. Dragonriding. Alt friendly. No borrowed power. Cons. Graphics still dated. Music still significantly lags behind the main competitor. (2-4 CDs vs 1?) Group loot that encourages ninjas. (Big con. At least 3 cases on the raids I'm in.) No teleport anywhere. Story is meh... Characters could use some improvement.    Better than Shadowlands.

    Dragonflight is very dull and uninspired. Story is rep gated, cant even enjoy that. Professions are a convuluted mess. The community is as bad as ever, but to no wonder, given that they play a game with racism for Alliance and Horde, namely racial segregation of races apart from Pandaren and Dracthyr.

    No wonder some players adapt such racist mindset and use it against other players. This game is basically a heaven for people, who want to live out racism. Seriously, do not go in voice chat, if you want to run a raid or dungeon. If other player notice you have a dialect, instead of pure American english, they will harass you. I've lost count on how many times this happened. The devs foster to these people with their racist faction system. Wouldn't even be surprised, if some of them are racist aswell, given the lawsuit and all and since they are still keeping racial segregation in wow and seem to be proud of such a toxic system.
    The developers are also more into a spam dungeon type game vs giving us an actual mmo. In short, same old game with the same outdated stuff and mentality.    … Expand

    The devs just never learn, even after 2 big failures they bring out another failure of expansion.

    If you didn't like the previous expansion you won't like this one. Simply because for some reason the devs just keep holding on to the same archaic stuff, that clearly didn't work, but they keep it anyway. This constant raid, m+ or die mentality is incredibly hurtful to the game, because    The devs just never learn, even after 2 big failures they bring out another failure of expansion.

This constant raid, m+ or die mentality is incredibly hurtful to the game, because they sell it as a mmorpg, yet it has become nothing but an e-sport game and even at that it is bad, because they can't balance classes properly.

    Regarding rpg you get almost nothing and definitely nothing new. This game is now 18 years or so old. Normal devs, especially those with so much money on their hands like Blizzard, would maybe start updating their game, the graphics, the player models, customizations, normal features for today's games like player housing and proper gear... they ignore all of it. Like literally all of it.
    This game's world is a dumpster fire to put it lightly and ugly to look at, beginning with the character selection screen, which not only forces you to take part in a racist faction system based on racial segregation, it also gives you poorly aged avatars, that didn't even receive basic things like sliders and color pallets over the last two decades.

    Professions aren't fun either. It feels like a gold sink and if you do alts, it feels like a job. It feels now like a chore to do more quests to keep up with the knowledge points so professions are taking up even more time, arbitrarily for barely any return. The crafting order system is truly a nightmare. Even crafting consumables for yourself is a gold loss because the mats cost more than the product does on the auction house.    … Expand

    To call this expansion bare-bones and lackluster would be an understatement.

    Guess it is time to just give up on this dated game.

    Racism is the very cornerstone of this game. You can't choose the faction you like and at the same time all the races you like, because racial segregation ist still a thing in this game. Considering the kind of devs, who work on this game it doesn't come as a surprise, though. The story, while bad and not really worth getting into    Guess it is time to just give up on this dated game.

    The story, while bad and not really worth getting into after Legion, is locked yet again behind a gigantic renown grind. Why? Because the devs love your monthly sub fee.
    While fair play is a foreign word in this game, because of class imbalance, you wouldn't even want to participate in raiding. Dungeons and raids this time around are very boring.
    This game is also dated when it comes to it's graphics, no player housing, awful gear and clunky looking player models with almost no customizations.
    The world feels empty, even though my realm is supposed to be full. You really see how many players left over the last few years. wow almost feels like a ghost town these days.
    A ton of bugs in this expansion aren't helping either. Can't give it more than 2 points so far.

    DF is "better" than SL in some ways. There is no borrowed power that you need to grind for, which is a good thing, and there is a new flight mechanic that is more modern and active.

    But, at least for me, the game play loop is really tedious... The dungeons in M+, for me, feel terrible. The new way of achievming KSM is kinda bad too.

    And now the best part... They introduced a "battle pass"... Now you can always have that delicious FOMO we all know and love...

    Dragonflight is still de facto at the beginning of its life cycle. Still, one can't help feeling that we desperately needed an adventure like this. With all its pros and cons. [Issue#325]

    World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is somehow a breath of fresh air and a celebration of classic design principles in equal measure. The return to more dynamic, old-school talent trees enhances the class fantasy with a seasoning of new abilities across the board. At the same time, the retreat of pressuring, artificial power-gating systems promotes a more healthy gameplay loop. The game is also gorgeous, with a more promising storyline, elevated cinematic delivery mechanics, and deeper core systems which make for one of WoW's best expansions in years.

    I appreciate the new interface (it needs getting used to though) and talent system (those dilemmas!), as well as changes to crafting that raise its importance. I enjoyed dragonriding a lot and found quests to be engaging, but was disappointed by dull dungeons and repetitive endgame content. World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is a pretty safe expansion and I expected a bit more from it, but I do feel it has a huge potential that could be fulfilled in the near future.
