They turned profession into hot garbage, so they can sell more tokens like they did in Shadowlands. which is funny because they said they wouldn't do that in interview. Only good thing about Dragonflight is flying, and I wouldn't really call that "content" Wow is pretty much in maintenance mode now. Ion Trying to milk it as much as he can until it dies. "We can always change game engines" no you can't you sh!tty liar. You can't even fix simple bugs for months now. Oh did I tell you about all the bugs? Constant lags, disconnects, "There are already character with same name" yea that is me so let me in.
    Watching wow player is like watching kids with violent parents who just got restraining order. My parents doesn't beat me up anymore so they are great! No... they are still really bad parents.    … Expand

    Absolutely boring, I can no longer play the game without becoming bored within 30 minutes. I could care les about the flying. They should have left the profession system alone. Blizzard has been loosing me for a while and this may be the deathblow.

    Extra + they make you think they have great rework of the Profession well turns out you need object to craft that is given to you every two week 1 by 1, then you also have this wonderful "Artisan's Mettle" which drop only when you 1st time craft something of when you get specialisation point or other rare occasion well you can't get enough of this to craft plenty of high end item
    Specialisation point well this is also time gated since you only drop few each week & days for some,
    this make you very slow get the 400 required to end with all spe....

    Now we have the dungeon all difficulty is crap only mythic is challenging so no real fun to do normal heroic or mythic m0

    Raid the same only mythic is challenging

    Game is crap to conclude !

    Huge imbalance of the classes and specs. The most gamebreaking bugs in a wow game since 2004 release. Clueless developers that seem out of touch and desperate. Sleazy stealth changes to things that continue to disrespect players and their time.

    It is a game full of annoyances and frustration due to underqualified staff and clueless management.

    I find Dragonflight to be a little better than Shadowlands, but that's certainly no compliment considering how bad Shadowlands was. I bought the game, and I'm paying a subscription, so I force myself to log on now and again in an attempt to play it. It's so boring, and so bad, that I usually last somewhere between 15 minutes and an hour or so before logging off again.

It's so boring, and so bad, that I usually last somewhere between 15 minutes and an hour or so before logging off again.
    The professions (which used to be fun to some extent) is now broken beyond belief. And you have to grind rep with factions to be able to fully do the professions, that's if you put in the effort to learn the awful new broken system in the first place.
    The dragon flying is a chore at best, and the terrible design of the landscape means you need to occasionally try to fly places in order to get there at all. As others have stated, the concept was copied from Guild Wars 2, but somehow made less fun.
    The storyline is completely boring, and I cannot find it in me to care about any of it.
    You may ask why I bought it? Because I had heard it was better than Shadowlands, and because the critic reviews didn't seem too bad. They were wrong, it's awful.
    You may ask why I still subscribe? Because I enjoy World of Warcraft Classic, which is the only reason to continue to subscribe to the game at all. I can still enjoy VERY old content. World of Warcraft hasn't actually been a good game in years. Such a pity.    … Expand

    The bugs in this expansion are enough to make any player want to quit.
    Then the glaring class imbalances.
    And what's with the racial segregation? We should be able to play any race in any faction without feeling like we're betraying some archaic and racist mindset, which the devs put in this game. But no, all races still have a hivemind instead of free will like the Pandaren and that weird looking new race Dracthyr.
    It's frustrating for players who can't play their favorite races in their favorite faction.

    Then the story... It's poorly written and lacks any real depth.

    Dragonflight is a disappointing expansion for me that fails to deliver on almost every level.
    From the poorly aged character models to the outdated graphics and bugs, it's clear that this expansion was not given the attention it deserved.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The plot is excellent, interesting (compared to SHL in general bomb). The new flight system is wonderful, also with a talent branch for improving the dragon, they came up with a cool idea. There is a lot of content, there is something to do, the system of professions has been updated, which is ideal for me. I haven't tried the new class yet, I've seen how others play, there is interest. Do not listen to the whiners who bury wow and say that Dragonflight is another failure, this is a great addition! I get the feeling that Metacritic has bought reviews because I read bad reviews about this add-on and a lot of the same type of reviews accuse Blizzard of racism, which is nonsense, WoW Dragonflight is a great add-on! Definitely recommend to buy! (SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH)… Expand

    Новые таланты действительно хороши, я беспокоился что это будет аналог талантов WotLK.

    Из плохого:
    Чтобы сделать гир профессий полезным они понерфили лут ключей и растянули его до 20 ключей.
    Для того чтобы заставлять гильдии рекилить ластов рейда они добавили ему мизерный шанс на итем который на 10 илвл выше чем весь лут игры. С учетом что близзы благородно решили не разделять ключи от рейдов, то в добрых традициях второго сезона Shadowlands вы обязаны гриндить рейды если хотите максимального выхлопа в ключах. Все чтобы умирающие престарелые рейды казались живее.

    Шанс лута остался прежним с Shadowlands. То есть вы можете как пройти рейд не получив ни одной вещи, так и фармить гору ключей ничего не получая. Ретрограды должно быть танцуют от удовольствия из-за того, что людям которые действительно играют в игру не дают в нее поиграть.

    Профессии дико затаймгейчены. Отчасти с каждой неделей у новичков увеличивается базовая доступность профессий, за счет квестов список которых расширяется с каждой неделей. Но помимо этого получить знания (очки талантов) можно в основном занимаясь профессией, что сильно ограничено. Дело в том что собрав определенное количество знаний в неделю твой шанс их получения резко стремится к нулю и можно спокойно бросать это и ждать следующей недели.

    В случае ошибки с выбором талантов профессий ты ничего больше не можешь с этим поделать, разве-что создать нового персонажа и перекачать профессию на нем.
    После расширения аукциона на весь регион цены на нем всегда стремительно падают до незначительных и не стоящих времени. Я полагаю это было сделано чтобы осмыслить использование стола заказов. Такой аукцион может и хорош для покупателя, но за отсутствием источников чистого золота вам придется на нем торговать.
    Полеты на драконах неудобны для фарма ресурсов. Во-первых энергия рано или поздно заканчивается. Во-вторых талант который регенерирует энергию за сбор ресурсов работает ТОЛЬКО НА ЗЕМЛЕ, кто это придумал? Это все делает талант на сбор ресурсов с дракона нелепым.

    В итоге это просто очередной затаймгейченный кусок кала. К этому всему ситуация с лутом только ухудшилась. Как по мне подойдет только ретроградам для которых медленней и унылей всегда лучше.    … Expand

The dialogue and narrative are overly childish and disney-esque in a way that I doubt will appeal to its overwhelmingly adult playerbase.    … Expand

    I enjoy the storyline and zones. But the community is pretty divided. I can understand if there are SOME bad apples. But to me, I think half the player base is unfriendly. If you don't meet the group leader's standards you are likely to be removed, benched, or made fun of. For example, being removed from a group because of their server.

When really they know, heck I KNOW..... that these players are abusing the vote-to-kick or removal system.

    Dailies, well I had lost interest in grinding to max renown, especially when realizing that I was working towards a reskin of a mount. Pretty much a reward that isn't of use to me as a casual player.

    Lastly PVP, oh boy I feel like Blizzard threw pvp in the trash we barely get any sort of new content added. Like NEW OBJECTIVE battleground and epic battleground maps. Classes in general need to be balanced. I shouldn't experience or see players 1-2 shooting each other.

    Overall Dragonflight is a step in the right direction but they need to fix these unaddressed issues that linger into every expansion. I see these same problems and it just gets worse.    … 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

A lot of these lorebreaking additions are degenerative to the story as a whole and clearly done to appeal the current political sensibilities of the internet era. This began with the previous expansion, Shadowlads, but has only grown in number to the point that even ordinary apolitical people begin to see the hidden agenda. In addition the developers do not know or care to know the game's own lore.

    I want to like this game for the world has been a source of great joy since my childhood but with how the new developers appear to hate and tear down all that made this game and story so beloved i can only recommend not to play it.

    This expansion actively makes the game worse than if it had never existed. At least Shadowlands had limits on how much lore it could defile.    … Expand

    The first MMO i ever played was New World and because the story was not that good, i stopped playing it after 80 hours. Dragonglight was the first WOW title I ever played but it is just simply disappointing.

    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.
