    A very strong start and step-up from the previous expansion, but the review bomb is to be expected - the toxic community of wow is like a hivemind, even these lengthy negative reviews are parroting each other.

    FINALLY !! After abomination this expansion feels so good. For now only problem is launch day issues but this is not about content. Be honest good writing, good zones, good gameplay. This is all we need. We will see

    Primeiro queria dizer que quem está criticando o jogo por ter personagens LGBT+ com certeza já não joga há algum tempo pois isso não é uma novidade e quem joga sabe, a diferença é que dessa vez algumas pessoas aprenderam a ler as quests e agora estão revoltadas dando nota 0 por isso.
    Com isso esclarecido, posso começar a review.
    1 - Leveling: não é mais linear como era em shadowlands e    Primeiro queria dizer que quem está criticando o jogo por ter personagens LGBT+ com certeza já não joga há algum tempo pois isso não é uma novidade e quem joga sabe, a diferença é que dessa vez algumas pessoas aprenderam a ler as quests e agora estão revoltadas dando nota 0 por isso.
    Com isso esclarecido, posso começar a review.

    1 - Leveling: não é mais linear como era em shadowlands e isso é ótimo, você pode escolher como e onde quer upar, diferente de shadowlands que te obrigava a upar seguindo a história, aqui você pode escolher se quer upar fazendo PVP, masmorra, profissão, quest da campanha ou quests secundárias.

    2 - PVP: Diferente do que aconteceu nas ultimas 3 expansões, dessa vez podemos chegar no end game e ir direto pra BG, em poucas horas vamos ter set completo pra ir pro PVP ranqueado.

    Dentro do PVP ranqueado, tem um novo modo de jogo que é o solo mix, além de ser muito divertido é excelente pra jogadores casuais, funciona como um solo queue, são 6 rodadas e os times mudam, isso facilita o balanceamento.

    Agora a gear de honra (set básico de pvp) já começa no ilvl 411 quando você está dentro de um campo de batalha, você pode fazer upgrade nela porém esse upgrade só vai ser válido no PVE, a gear de dominação foi liberada ontem, no primeiro dia da season 1, atualmente temos um limite de dominação semanal que podemos obter, esse limite é 1350 pontos, da pra conseguir tranquilamente esses pontos em um único dia, isso facilita pra quem quer ter vários alts no ilvl máximo, por ser um cap baixo vai ser difícil de alguém ficar pra trás.

    3 - Agora sobre o PVE: começando pelas masmorras, temos 8 masmorras novas no jogo, 1 delas envolve dragonaria e infelizmente essa é a mais chatinha até então, pois é a mais longa e está presente no leveling, as 4 masmorras mais rápidas são as que libera quando chega no end game, particularmente acho que deveria ser ao contrário, pois durante o leveling é quando queremos terminar a masmorra o mais rápido possível.

    Raid, masmorra mitica e baú semanal: Esses são os pilares do PVE "hardcore" e se mantém da mesma forma que era em shadowlands, os sistemas são os mesmos, mas está mais rápido de chegar nesses conteúdos por não existir um novo sistema obrigatório que obrigue o jogador a grindar.

    4 - Nova classe e raça: não gostei da aparência mas está divertido e isso é o que importa quando estamos jogando, realmente a raça parece mais uma lagartixa do que um dragão, mas pelo menos temos a forma de elfo pra quando enjoarmos da forma de dragão.
    Essa nova raça trás uma nova mecânica na gameplay dela, é importante citar que a ultima classe que teve uma nova mecânica foi o demon hunter, que foi lançada em 2016 juntamente da expansão legion.

    5 - Sem conteúdo (grind) obrigatório, essa de longe foi a melhor novidade da expansão em comparação com as ultimas 3 expansões passadas, agora você entra no jogo e faz o conteúdo que te interessa, não existe mais aquilo de "faça conteúdo X, depois conteúdo Y, ai sim você vai liberar o conteúdo Z, que é o único conteúdo que tu realmente quer jogar"

    6 - Conteúdo casual: nos pactos de shadowlands já existiam os famosos conteúdos casuais, mas eles estavam inclusos nos conteúdos obrigatórios, hoje não funciona mais assim, então só vai atrás disso quem realmente quer, dragonflight está lotado desses conteúdos e eles dão equipamentos relativamente bons.

    7 - Dragonaria: o novo modo de voar no seu dragão é a maior novidade da expansão, é uma maneira mais imersiva de voar, embora eu ainda prefira a forma antiga, é excelente finalmente começar uma expansão já voando, vale a pena lembrar que isso NUNCA aconteceu na história do jogo, antigamente a forma de voar era comprando licença quando chegava perto do end game, depois a licença começou a ser liberada no nível máximo e a partir do warlords of draenor (2014) teve o pior sistema de todos até então, pra começar a voar era obrigado a fazer uma série de conquistas longas e chatas, felizmente em dragonflight já podemos iniciar a expansão voando no primeiro nível, nos primeiros minutos fazendo quest já vamos liberar nosso primeiro dragão, são 4 no total e tem como personalizar totalmente cada um deles.
    Esse sistema é vinculado a conta, então facilita a vida de quem tem personagens alternativos.

    8 - Profissões: agora as profissões são relevantes e fazem gear com o mesmo ilvl de raid mitica, não sei se isso é algo bom ou ruim, só o tempo dirá, espero que não torne o jogo pay to win.

    9 - Considerações finais: o primeiro mês de dragonflight já é melhor que os últimos 7 anos do jogo, tem potencial pra ser a melhor expansão já feita, infelizmente ainda existe mensalidade e está cara no Brasil, mas estou me divertindo muito e recomendo a todos.    … Expand

    This is my favourite expansion so far. Game play and story are great. I really do not understand all the hate. Launch day was a bit crowded on some servers, oh my!!

    Someone claimed there was a gay dragon somewhere, oh the insanity!! Personally I did not notice and don't care. No one should feel threatened in game over this.

    Good representation and diversity of characters this expansion. Despite what troll reviews are saying it is certainly not 'shoved in your face' or anything.

Despite what troll reviews are saying it is certainly not 'shoved in your face' or anything. Those kind of people seem to think the mere existence of any queer or trans person is a personal attack on them. Who's the real snowflakes that need a safe space, eh?

    Anyway, back to the review.

    No systems that force you to log in each day to keep up. Player power is almost entirely disconnected from rep and other grinds, it's mostly cosmetic with a bit of gear (can get that other ways).

    Storyline is the only let-down so far. It has it's good moments, and even a few very good moments, but it is largely repetitive and a bit forgettable.

    Class balance is fantastic, all specs are viable for casual players and most still are for above average players.

    Dragonriding is amazing. Once you flesh out the talent tree a little (doesn't take long) it becomes a very fun and very fast way to get around, which you wouldn't normally see at the beginning of an expac.

    Blizzard has done very well *so far* with this new expac, excited to see where it goes over the next couple years. I'm very much into m+ so will be interesting to see how gearing goes now that +15s don't award highest ilvl from the vault.    … Expand

    One of the best WoW expansions ever. Just a few things: amazingly beautiful and atmospheric zones, unsurpassed pvp gear system, amazing dungeons and the new evoker class is also groundbreaking. The professions are something phenomenal. And dragonriding is one of the most fun things to do in the game. 10/10

    As an experienced 15+ years wow player, I’m fairly impressed. Listening to non toxic part of game community paid off and for now we have a very promising start of the expansion. Pros:

    - Dragon riding is actually fun and flying is unlocked from the start;
    - No grind systems built in such as legendaries, conduits, torghast, etc.;
    - Story and side quests are finally interesting to follow again because they are focused around our old acquaintances;
    - Gearing system for pvp finally doesn’t include any pve related activity and provides even ground for participants - only skill matters;
    - Revamped professions system is deep and keeps you interested, especially because crafted gear is a viable option for gearing in pve and pvp content. - Design of locations is as good as always, but being back to Azeroth after SL feels cozy.
    - Auction house in the main city on Dragon islands - what a time to be alive.

    Cons:
    - Modern day agenda is something this game could do fine without, though it’s not to intrusive beside that body type 1 and body type 2.
    - Small technical problems related to expansion launch, but it’s totally solvable.

    I saw a review bombing happening to this product and had to register to write my first review because I just think it’s quite unfair to review bomb this game. Unlike Shadowlands Blizzard actually listened to community feedback and seemingly made a great expansion. Let’s see how they will develop it. For now it’s very promising.    … Expand

Update: Stuck around until 10.5 "content" patch. This patch, which took roughly 12 hours to implement is buggy, laggy and messy. It adds nothing of value for solo players while providing nothing of value for players who already out gear the content. It is clear that Blizz is unable or unwilling to adapt and Blizzard has failed (or do not want to) see that gamers have changed and the days of spending 20-30 hours per week raiding and similar are over.… Expand

    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.
