    Awful, toxic, greedy, racist, grindy and pretty outdated game in all sorts of areas.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.

    A fairly decent expansion for a timeless game, probably the best expansion since Wrath of the Lich King. Had a lot of fun playing this until all my friends stopped playing and left me alone.

    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 Essentially, it's the same outdated things as it has been for years, just under a different name and with a different coat of paint.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    A buggy, grindy and outdated mess.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correctly, being jettisoned out of a cutscene into a barrage of near death and not to mention    A buggy, grindy and outdated mess.

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.

    Hot garbage, I tell you.    … Expand

    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

    The game has had many up's and down's over the years and some very low low's.

    Warlords of Draenor, Shadowlands, Battle For Azeroth. All 3 are big disaster's and were really tough experiences that led to so many leaving the game and I do not blame them one bit.

    So coming into Dragonflight the question was "What can Blizzard really give to restore WoW to a better place and make the game fun again?"

    Well they brought back Talent Tree's, Mythic + dungeon Rotation, Augmentation Evoker, Evoker in general, World Content (Early), Dragon Riding, ect....

    They really made good strides to better the game that were extremely needed.

    But, it also doesn't come without it's faults. Mythic + for healers is not fun as there is too much spike damage all the while Healers are expected to do at least 3-5 other roles and handle many forms of mechanics in them and when it goes wrong it's not a good sight. Raiding is good but there have been some big stinkers of boss fights, Overtuned classes that don't get touched until it's too late and undertuned classes that remain in the wayside and never get anything to better them. Classes/Specializations getting things that make them more desirable than the opposite leaving players that are that opposite unable to find groups because they don't bring what is basically required.

    Recently some of the class problems have been being addressed such as Holy Paladin rework and the inc Rogue rework, but it's not enough.

    Overall a big step up from Shadowlands, WOD and BFA but still lacking in certain areas.    … Expand

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

    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.

There are two factions and as a new player, you get no information about these factions except that they operate on a racist system. 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

Now you can pay to buy the currency to buy the cosmetics in the game, which you bought and are paying to play. You buy wow token, to buy the gear you need to get into groups, so you can participate in the only content the devs seem to care for, which is m+.
    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.

    This game lacks:
    - Player Housing. - Dyeable armor. - Sliders for customization. - Color palettes for skin, eyes, fur, and hair color. - Proper 3D armor; most of it sticks to the avatar and consists of the same few sets that have been around for nearly 20 years. - Limited emotes for avatars. - Partially distorted and deformed avatar    Keep in mind for a minute, that it's 2023.

    - Still, strict racial separation between playable factions, leading to sorting purely based on appearance.
    - Perhaps only 20% of the graphics in the world are at an acceptable level; the rest is extremely outdated.
    - Social restrictions between factions are still abundant for players.
    - Hairstyles and dances are strictly separated among playable races, rather than being shared to provide more options for everyone.
    - Apart from raids and general m+, the content remains quite thin.

    Honestly, I could continue this list further, but I believe the point has been made.
    Despite all of this, they still demand monthly subscription fees, additional costs for expansions and tons of purchasable items in the store. Ultimately, this game is pay-to-win, despite the monthly fees. It is entirely inappropriate and overall, the game is far from being up to date.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

Believe me I'm in the same boat blizzard has almost made me quit WoW entirely but they've brought me back with dragonflight let me name some of the things I like about this expansion. The lore/story is good. I love the new bad guys in this expansion. The incarnates, especially iridikron are cool and intriguing... They really do seem like an actual threat and their motivations make sense as opposed to *cough* the jailer *cough*. The story leaves you wanting more and even includes throwback moments reuniting you with old characters from even classic wow. World content is also very good. Dragon riding is VERY fun and it's an absolute blast to explore the dragon isles looking for treasures and glyphs in order to max out dragon riding. It can feel slow at first but MAN is it awesome when you max it out. Raiding feels challenging but not punishing. They really toned RNG mechanics this time around at least for heroic mode, I don't know about mythic. Mythic+ is great and you can gear up really quickly in a short amount of time. Can't comment on pdvp since I haven't pvp'd in a LOOOOONG time and never really did arena but I'm sure it's fun there too. Professions are actually worth leveling and maxing out and profession gear can even scale up to mythic ilvl pieces giving you more options on how you gear your character, and for tmog farmers out there a TON of old tmog gear previously unavailable have been made available includinng the entirety of old scholomance in this recent patch... Now the downsides... Renown at times can feel like it takes WAAAAAY too long to grind for and since you need more renown to continue chapters of the story it can feel a little draining having to do world quests to max that out. With season 2 they introduced flightstones and crests that allow you to upgrade gear. Which is good but you have to grind significantly to get these crests to upgrade them and there are different crests for different levels: "whelpling" which is basic world quest gear "drake's" which is for upgrading gear from heroic dungeons "wyrm's" which is for heroic raid gear and "aspect" which is for mythic gear... You are going to use a TON of crests in addition to flightstones when upgrading gear and they will hog your inventory once you upgrade your gear to the Max a good thing is if you have a piece that is already upgraded to max you don't need crests to get a piece of lower upgrade lvl to get tothat other piece's ilvl overall a very good expansion that is a huge stepup over the travesty of shadowlands where content droughts are short with a ton of options with how you can play the game. I recommend you check it out. It's definitely worth your time. Take it from me who was a BIIIG skeptic over this expansion. .… Expand

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

And stuff like player housing is still missing, even in the year 2023. Customizations, graphics and proper gearing is still a joke in wow. Don't even get me started on all the ridiculous restrictions, fostering to an anti-social and racist experience.
    Spending hours each week doing pve content just to hope you get a useful item in the vault on tuesday is the most boring, frustrating content ever. Especially with such uninspired and repetitive tasks they make us do. There is zero fun in that, just the obvious desire to make their players waste as much game time as possible, so we keep paying them the monthly sub fee.    … Expand

    If you're looking for a game with a meaningful story... world of warcraft is not a game for you. That is for sure.

    Unfortunately that's not the only thing, which is really bad about wow.

    wow looks like a mobile game and the p2w elements don't help either, though let's be real here, even mobile games these days have better graphics, more customization options and in general more stuff going on than in this mmo, that doesn't even allow you to properly play with your friends, let alone let you choose your preferred race with your preferred faction, wihout forcing you to participate in an outdated system, that relies on racism.    … Expand

There is exceptional freedom and amazing quantity and quality of content for the part of the expansion offered compared to the past four expansions. This is a flawed gem. But it is a gem.

    (Mostly) Complete Review:
    I will try to be balanced in my review, offering both criticisms were they are valid and praise where it is due and focusing primarily on the game itself. However, I must first address the elephant in the room, that especially in more recent reviews, is deceptive in the way it is presented. The races are being allowed to work together even cross faction now. In raids, dungeons and open world content. And as has been known now for a month as of typing this review, cross-faction guilds are coming.

    Now, before I start I will say I am a veteran MMO player. Starting in and since 2005 I have played World of Warcraft, City of Heroes, Final Fantasy XIV, Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2 and Lord of the Rings Online to name a few of many.
    My World of Warcraft history: Consistent player for the first game and first three expansions. Stopped playing with Warlords of Draenor except 1 month each expansion until Dragonflight.

    Player versus player: I do not participate in this content in this game so I will not comment on it in this review except to say I have heard good things from friends who do participate in it. Beyond that I will leave it to others to review this feature.

    Dragonriding. This is a fun system and while clearly inspired by Guild Wars 2, is distinct enough with far less restrictions to flight time and how often you can use special movement abilities to feel fresh and fun.
    The only real issue here is the fact that you have to go out and collect special markers to unlock abilities and more stamina and while this only takes a few hours, it can make starting with the dragonriding system feel a bit slow.

    Open world content. There is a surprising amount of this, with more being added constantly, more than in previous expansions and at a faster rate than ever. Activities on this front currently include world quests, daily quests, weekly quests, dragon racing, rare hunting, multiple special zone events, treasure hunting and little special events unlocked by quest chains that I will not elaborate on here for wanting to stay spoiler free.
    Issues here. Not many to speak of. Unless you are logging in for 12+hours a day, there is more than enough to do without anything feeling too stale if you vary between the activities.

    Instanced content. The raid is really fun. It's complex enough that it's a challenge if you don't use too many addons, but easy enough that you don't need to use too many. The dungeon system has continued on with some learned lessons, bringing a select number of previous expansions dungeons into relevancy by allowing people to temporarily bring them to modern levels of difficulty and reward for the current part of the patch cycle.
    Issues. Oh boy, while the raid is fine, there's nothing to really complain about there, I have to address dungeons. The changing nature of the mythic+ dungeons via the affix system can feel nasty. Affixes add new weekly challenges to dungeon in the form of new mechanics. And some of them in certain dungeons can disrupt the mechanics already present and add damage spikes on top of the normal incoming damage spikes. This can feel very very bad sometimes.

    The stories, both main and side ones have undergone vast improvements in how they are presented, offering far more emotional impact while being more down to earth than has been seen in World of Warcraft in years. There has also been a clear effort in this expansion to have a more connected overall story. Of late there has also been a trend in the quest to address the social issues caused by actions of races in the past. Contrary to what some other reviews have mentioned, old racial divides are being addressed.
    Issues here. The story could be more connected than they have already made it

    The looks. Okay, the graphics lag behind a little, or in some cases, a lot. But there have been and continue to be improvements made on this front. In entire zones of new expansions and piece by piece in the older zones with newer models brought in to areas over time to bring the game to a more modern standard. Character customisation is lacking in places, but again, this is being addressed patch to patch.
    Issues. There is a lot of outdated stuff. But credit where it is due, they are addressing that.

    The crafting system. The system is mostly fine. However problems arise in not being able to refund specialisation points and in the progression through the system not being made clear enough. Beyond that, it's fine.

    There is so much more I could say in my review, but sadly, I am reaching my character limit, so allow me to wrap this up and say this expansion is the best this game has been in a long time.    … Expand

    I guess with the tons of new LGBTQ content they hastily stuffed in, they really want to reach that group and appear as tolerant as possible. 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.

    Blizzard did 1 thing right in dragonflight. Restore 2014 warlords era pvp gearing. Theres now again just 2 sets of pvp gear, in shadowlands boosting was so rampant because every interval of 200 more rating like 1600 vs 1800 meant higher item level gear. While you can still upgrade your gear this is for the outside world item level only and means no difference in pvp combat.

    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

    Speaking of laziness, it's 2023, this is an MMO... and there's still no player housing.
    The classes are still unbalanced, and there are still unnecessary restrictions on social interaction. Players are still strictly separated from each other if they're not in the same faction.

For example, why is a soul rot blue magic when it doesn't feel like it meets the shadow and fire a Warlock is supposed to be. Convoke the spirits should be reskinned to be green to match the rest of the druid spells.

    -it's great they removed covenants and dumb grinds but it just feels stale as an expansion.

    - the new class only came out with 2 talents. Can't stay in human form unfortunately...

    -Why is dracythr a race instead of a class? Like Demon hunters are their own class but fall under blood elf or night elf. Dracythr are just a human dragon thing that cant xmog or do anything cool. Why are they considered Dracythr when it's just a dragon and a human form?

    -the new flying is alright, but it literally makes the new mounts useless in cities like orgrimmar and previous mounts can't do anything in the new zones.

    -I am a more casual player but I did do was mythic + and LFR. Got bored of it easily since some of the dungeons i've played IN OLD EXPANSIONS.

    -It was a nice feel to it, however just stale in my opinion. I wish we could have a lot cooler talents with long cooldowns.

    overally the expansion was good, but they played it safe and didn't do anything to make the game feel better besides remove all of the awful systems previously in place.

    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.

Dragonflight will soon receive it's first content patch, but what has been shown in it is basically the same old boring stuff that they've been serving for almost two decades now.

    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's this sensation of "I can log in and there will be something to be done", instead of "let me wait in the capital city for a raid or an m+". Also, new talent tree, dragoriding itself and UI improvements were welcome (if not needed) implementations.

    From a casual point of view, this is a very good expansion to start playing WoW,    … Expand

    I can only agree with the prvious speakers.
    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

    Once again, the end-game is the end. And it'll take awhile to get there because the game is so glitchy (Yes, I do have a computer with recommended, not just minimum, settings). The game is so glitchy that I'd argue they outright lied about recommended and minimum specs.

And it'll take awhile to get there because the game is so glitchy (Yes, I do have a computer with recommended, not just minimum, settings). The game is so glitchy that I'd argue they outright lied about recommended and minimum specs.

    It started out promising with a neat storyline and some back to basics gameplay. Halfway through though, it started to look like two, three, four different games depending on the area I was in. Whatever teams worked on the first part of the game understood WOW lore, pacing, and spacing.

    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). The people left playing it at the end are toxic.    … Expand

    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.
