    One of my main issues I have is timegating. The fact that everything is so heavily timegated just means it’s the same old Blizzard doing the same old tactic to keep hamsters on theirtreadmill. Honestly, I think I’m just at a point in my life where I refuse to be a hamster anymore. More power to you if you enjoy that, but for me, I’d rather not be limited by systems created out of greed.One of my main issues I have is timegating.

    Ironically we have less systems now, sure, but I feel like the rep grinds and levels are convoluted and even the crafting is convoluted and now one of my least favorite things in the game. In a way you just replaced the previous systems with these, and it still feels like a chore or a job. Put it together with the well known issues like outdated graphics, the ongoing faction imbalance, class imbalance, bad lore, you name it, dragonflight is another expansion, where I have to unsub. Let's see what the next patch will bring. Right now, it is a no for me.    … Expand

    The profession system has become unnecessarily confusing and tedious, with grinds upon grinds upon grinds.

    But the real kicker as mentioned by others is the dated restrictions they still have in place, like the questionable race division between factions. They're still forcing players to choose a certain faction just because they want to look a certain way. And speaking of looks, the uneven and limited customization options between races are a joke.

    And did I mention that there's still no player housing after all these years? Come on, Blizzard, get with the times, same goes for your visuals.

    There are more things, like there are bugs everywhere in this expansion, It's frustrating to play a game that's so broken, and it makes you wonder if Blizzard even cares about there players.

    And last but not least, the unbalanced classes. It's like Blizzard can't figure out how to make them all equally powerful, so they just let some classes dominate while others are left in the dust.    … 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

    I am not satisfied with the expansion in it's current state.

    Group Loot. This was a bad idea. Go back to personal loot. People are toxic in group loot, more so among randoms. Dps.

    Class Balance.
    There is none. All classes need to be able to perform at any level in the game. This is why class designers are important, This is why listening to feedback in beta is important. Fix your mess.
    Talents.
    They threw together talent trees, that took core class gameplay and screwed it all up.
    Racism as foundation in wow.
    All races should be playable on either side. Not all races agree with where they were born and raised and with certain leaders, who decide for them which side to pick. It’s dumb, it’s old, racism should be a thing of the past and not the core of the game.
    Dragon Flight.
    It’s fun, but I won’t ever take up a profession without normal flying for obvious reasons.
    Crafting.
    I absolutely hate the new crafting system, the knowledge, the orders, everything.
    Evoker.
    This class is terrible, the race is terrible, everything about its design is terrible. From the random bugs to the bad survivability. And why are we stuck with female human and male blood elf for visage? Dragons are able to use all mortal forms. But of course the devs have to restrict their players again with this race by only giving us human and blood elf. That lizard form is ugly af, so at least give us the freedom to choose from all races.

    Dragonflight leaves you with the same problems wow always had and is overall really just an awful expansion. Probably better than Battle For Azeroth and Shadowlands to keep it fair, but let's be real, that bar is very low.

    For starters, the developers just completly ignore the overall world.

Probably better than Battle For Azeroth and Shadowlands to keep it fair, but let's be real, that bar is very low.

    For starters, the developers just completly ignore the overall world. Like always players get a tiny new island with modern graphics while the rest of the world plays no role at all. Neither the lore gets adjusted, for example in the 2 warfronts from bfa, or in Ashenvale, Gilneas, Theramore you name it, nor get the graphics an update. And we are talking here about visuals, that are almost two decades old. Thus the world in this game looks really hideous due to it's extremely outdated visuals.

    Since luckily I've played other games besides wow I know what modern customisation options should look like. Customisations in wow however are a joke. Not only are there way too few options, they are also very unfairly portioned between playable races. To no surprise, considering how toxic the developers of wow tend to be.

    Toxic is probably a good keyword to continune this review, because one of the worst problems the developers never removed is the glorified form of racism in wow, a very strict segregation of playable races apart from Pandaren and Evoker. Even up to this very day they treat racism as necessary and essential for Alliance and Horde. Are they for real? You choose your faction based on the race you want to be. That's just... oof.

    This expansion also overcomplicated everything. Crafting/Professions are confusing and I’ve had to read several guides just to figure out how it even works. Not to mention that profession and also the story is locked behind a renown grind. Obviously to waste as much time as possible for the monthly sub cost this game charges.

    The group loot situation is... how do I say this politely? Not good. Loot was always a problem and felt unrewarding in this game, but this time around... it's catastrophic.

    The story continues to be very bad, even though it's not as bad as in wod, bfa and shadowlands, but again, very, very low bar.

    wow doesn't really feel like a mmorpg. The RPG part is completly missing. It rather feels as if the only thing the developers care for is pretending that this game is an e-sport game. So it's neither for casuals, nor for people, who would enjoy the story/world part.    … Expand

I took long breaks during battle for azeroth and shadowlands, because in my opinion these were really bad expansions, but I was still willing to give wow another chance with Dragonflight, because this game does have potential to be good... but now I'm really at a point where I'm considering to quit for good and many things that are being criticized reflect my own points, but for this review I would like to focus only on the things that bother me the most.

    So here we go.

    It is noticeable that Dragonflight is very buggy. Even more so than previous expansions and this game always had problems with bugs.
    The field of ferocity quest chain for example has been broken since launch. In my case the enemies glitch out and stop at one hp, so you have to start over again and that has happened several times. The toggle auto self cast keybind has not been functioning for weeks, to name another example. It just straight up doesn’t work at all, in any way. It's just frustrating. The skills on my action bars for Evoker will go randomly gray like if I couldn’t use the spells. They are still usable, yes, but it is still really annoying, because it very often happens during combat.
    I could go on, but there are just so many bugs that I keep it short. You really have to wonder, who greenlighted this expansion to go live in this broken state.

    Another point is class and faction imbalance. It has been a big problem for years, but in this expansion it's just... you simply can't play some classes because they perform so poorly, while other classes more or less one shot you. You also notice how insecure the developers seem to be with class design, looking at the constant nerfs and buffs, which seem to happen very randomly.

    This means if you plan to play halfway decent in this game you have to face several limitations at once:

    First being faction choice. Because oft the faction imbalance you rather not pick the unpopulated of the two choices or you will face several obstacles, be it in pve or pvp, you simply will have a harder time on this side.
    Then of course there are races. Another point I strongly agree with. Half of the races won't be available for you, if you decide to join one of the two factions. So there is another big limitation for you, if you would like to play as some of those races. Another unnecessary limitation players have to face.
    Third are classes as I already mentioned above. You will have a really bad time, if you choose some of the classes.

    That are three very big limitations for player choice, that simply shouldn't be there and make the game just frustrating in so many ways.
    By all means keep factions, but all these limitations need to be removed. Wow really needs free race choice for factions, more cross faction options and the classes desperately need an overhaul.    … Expand

    -While hovering over PvP talents, the tooltip will occasionally display the tooltip of the talent behind the window on the normal talent screen.
    -The Arena Frames in edit mode does not stick where I place it. It always goes to the bottom left of the screen.
    -Feral druid personal resource display shows the incorrect number of combo points very often until I use my first finisher in combat.
    -When PvPing against hunters, quite often when they use Feign Death, their nameplate disappears.
    -The Ancient Protector rare spawn cannot be summoned on some shards as the blue beam inside the pillars bugs out and cannot be interacted with.

    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.

    If you didn't like the previous expansion you won't like this one.

    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

    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. As an MMORPG fan, what annoys me the most however is the terrible story, which really makes your fingernails roll up so far.    … Expand

    Let me guess, you were probably hoping that after the abomination that was Shadowlands we might get something good. Hate to spoil it for you, but this is just another woke agenda driven train wreck. Vote with your wallets, while you still have them, or you will regret you didn't.

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

    After I got loremaster and cleared mythics there was nothing that brought me back to play. This expansion feels like absolutely bare minimum effort.

I was expecting something great after BFA and Slands failed. The weekly events on the dragon isles (Community soup, hunts, etc) are so bland and lack any depth. The community soup causes extreme amounts of unplayable lag in Azure Span.

    I wish that was the only issue. Blizzard has proved since pre-patch they are completely incapable of fixing bugs and reading beta reports/feedback. There are still many bugs, glitches, and exploits that have been reported since beta that are not being fixed.

    The game outside of Dragon Isles is just a wreck it has been completely abandoned, old content is riddled with scaling bugs, quests that are glitched or cannot be completed. The scaling of BFA is just nauseating. It feels like private server quality.

    Once you complete the quests in Dragon Isles (and there aren't many) you start to see just how barebones this expansion is. You are left with the same gameplay loop we have had since legion. M+ (These are just terrible, especially if you are not playing a class with high mobility.) PVP (No new battlegrounds, solo queue was a + I guess) Raid (Boring, over dragons already.) This is the expansion we needed to see something new added to the loop such as housing.

    The community at this point is just not worth the stress, I deal with just about as many trolls and toxic players as I do in games like League of Legends.

    The final thing I want to mention is the laughably boring rep grinds they added. The Obsidian Sanctum and Cobalt Assembly. This was proof enough that development time was cut short. This is world of warcraft in 2022, and this is the type of innovative content you give us? Terrible.

    But don't worry guys we get the trading post next patch! That'll save it! More cosmetic and collectables is what we need. Not worth the $10 price increase this time around. What a joke.

This system also promotes selfishness among players, as everyone is trying to snag the best items for themselves. It's a    Firstly, let's talk about the loot system.

    It's frustrating to spend hours battling through dungeons or raids, only to receive sub-par loot that isn't even suitable for your character's class or specialization. This system also promotes selfishness among players, as everyone is trying to snag the best items for themselves. It's a shame that Blizzard didn't address this issue before releasing the expansion.

    Another major flaw is the outdated segregation of playable races. It's disappointing that players are still forced to choose between Horde and Alliance factions and cannot play as all races on either side. This limits players' choices and can lead to frustration when wanting to play a specific race on the opposite faction. It's time for Blizzard to move past this outdated system and provide players with more freedom in character creation.

    The profession system in Dragonflight is also complicated and convoluted. The crafting process is needlessly complicated, making it difficult to craft useful items for your character. It's frustrating to have to spend hours researching and crafting to create something that isn't even that great. The profession system needs a complete overhaul to make it more accessible and user-friendly.

    The class balancing in Dragonflight is also unimpressive. Some classes are just much more powerful than others, which leads to an unfair advantage in PvP and PvE situations. This imbalance can make the game less enjoyable for those who don't play the strongest classes, and it's an issue that needs to be addressed.

    The new race, Drakthyr, is also rather uncreative. Additionally, the fact that it can't use all playable races for its visage is a letdown.

    Finally, apart from the new feature of dragon riding, there aren't many new features in Dragonflight. It feels like a missed opportunity for Blizzard to introduce innovative gameplay mechanics and fresh content that would keep players invested in the game.

    In conclusion, while Dragonflight has its moments, it ultimately falls short of expectations due to its flawed loot system, outdated race segregation, complicated profession system, unbalanced classes, lack of open-world content and lack of new features.    … Expand

    Mana regen will sometimes completely drop to extreme low lvs and ignore the enlightened talent. Arc barrage will sometimes miss or do no damage at all. Clear casting arc missles drop off when you try to move. even though talented for movement.
    Customizations and graphics in the old world are a joke = very outdated and limited.
    Several pages for my item restoration are blank across multiple characters.
    I can start the dragon riding races but the path arrow goes straight into the ground and the gates do not spawn. Unable to complete.
    Factions and classes are still unbalanced... to no surprise. Also still unable to fully play with the other faction due to Blizzard's toxic restrictions.
    When call pet is placed on any action bar it does not work for hunters.
    All jewelcrafting reagents stored in reagent banks appear in the crafting window, but fail to craft with the message, “That item is not a valid target.” Reagents stored in the normal part of the bank don’t appear in the JC crafting window at all.

    Seriously, I could go on and on. This game is not worth it's money. I want to play it, but these devs clearly don't want us to enjoy it, so bye for now.    … Expand

    And so we meet another limitation, because unlike dragons the Dracthyr can only use male blood elf and female human for visage.
    Why? Probably because the devs are lazy like always.
    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.

    Other than that there is really not much to talk about. Pretty much the same old restrictions, limitations and lack of standard mmo features like player housing. Not really a game I would recommend.    … Expand

Yes, new zones have good visuals, but that's like what? 25% of the overall world? It's like the devs are just phoning it in at this point.

    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.

    In short, if you're looking for a game that's worth your time and money Dragonflight is definitely not it. At least so far, but the next patch looks just as bad.

    Worst, most bland itemization in WoW history prioritizing ILVL over anything meaningful - Check

Boring, bland, and probably designed by 1 person. Cheap and boring in order to create "balance" by severe homogenization - Check

    A progression system going nowhere. No longer to you beat Deadmines and move on to SFK. No longer do you gear up to get into the next big raid. No longer is their actual progression. Instead what you find here is a hamster wheel design of reserving dungeons/raids to you nigh infinitely for ILVL rewards. At no point are you ever going anywhere, at no point are you ever growing. You are simply doing it for ILVL for minor DPS increases, that is redundant as each difficulty is increase HP levels of mobs. You are effectively on a hamster wheel, going nowhere, achieving nothing and the only people this benefits are the devs who can shovel out infinitely rehashed content. Bland, awful design > Check

All the issues in this expansion are proof that it was rushed and wasn't thoroughly tested, all because Blizzard was desperate to try to bring back subscribers as soon as possible after the failure that was Shadowlands.

    Many players are suffering from poor performance since the pre-patch dropped and Blizzard has gone completely silent about the issue. Dragonflight's main feature, Dragon Riding, is terribly broken. Blizzard attempted to copy Guild Wars 2 mount system and failed spectacularly. Dragon Riding is clunky, buggy and overall broken. The more time you spend on it, the more issues you will notice. I have gotten disconnected from the game due to collision issues during Dragon Riding over 20 times in the same day. Dragon Riding also makes all other mounts completely obsolete in the new areas as they are designed with Dragon Riding in mind.

    The expansion doesn't offer anything new or exciting, it's exactly what they've offered before. The endgame consists of 4 old dungeons, 4 new dungeons and a raid. That's it, there's nothing else that is good. The rest of the endgame consists in mindless tasks such as grinding reputation for different factions or doing boring events, most of which doesn't even require you to do anything except being present during the event.

    The game is also infested with bots that ruin gathering professions by teleporting from one gathering node to another and Blizzard doesn't take action against them and makes it nearly impossible for players to report them.

    The expansion is also full of bugs in every aspect of the game. Broken visuals, broken abilities, broken talents, broken quests, etc. Blizzard also continues to use the Race to World First as live beta testing for the Mythic difficulty because they don't want to bother testing the raid themselves, after all, they know that the top raiders in the world will test them for free anyway.

    Las opciones de personalización para las razas jugables son escasas y lo poco que hay está extremadamente desequilibrado, por lo que algunas razas no reciben casi nada, mientras que otras tienen comparativamente mucho. Hablando de razas, todavía hay segregación racial. Si quieres ser un enano y unirte a la Horda, no puedes hacerlo porque todavía hay una estricta segregación racial. Incluso en la actualidad, los desarrolladores creen que eso es bueno.
    Casi no se puede creer, pero sí, aparentemente así piensan los desarrolladores. En este juego, tu raza es más importante que tus valores y determina a quién puedes unirte y a quién no.
    Los gráficos son terribles porque no han actualizado su mundo y, en general, los contenidos de RPG simplemente se pueden olvidar.    … Expand

    The story is incredibly bad. Maybe slightly better than in BFA and Shadowlands, but that doesn't say much.

    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

    It is astonishing that Blizzard is charging us for such a bad expansion. Given how many bugs there are and how little new things they added, they should pay us for testing the game, because it plays like a Beta.

Given how many bugs there are and how little new things they added, they should pay us for testing the game, because it plays like a Beta. Might be a little harsh on my part, but this expansion really is half-baked so far.

    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.
    Fixing the lore. Not sure if that is still possible after the last expansions, but a mmorpg with cringe story like the one in wow is not really fun to play.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alexstraza is the new Sylvanas.

    There is nothing new in this expansion:
    GW2 flying cloned as a selling new feature.
    Worgen skeleton cloned into an ugly mesh as a "new race".
    Talents made into a tree to give an illusion of choice, in reality most items are forced. Those few you are "free" to choose will be defined by the scenario (st / aoe )
    Same covenant abilities put into the talent trees. The rotation for some classes is almost identical to SL rotation.

    Hypocrisy at it's best:
    Trans npcs, gay couples, matriarchy... Blizzard tries so hard on inclusiveness, to whitewash their name. Yet the game is still based on a racial conflict, key characters in game are racists. You can't choose your faction, your appearance will identify which alliance you join.

    Uninteresting lore:
    Sylvanas was a key character in last 3 expansions, a strong independent woman surrounded by weak men. She ended up burning the World Tree with no one capable of stopping her, no one capable of bringing her to justice. Even the Lich King was unable to do anything against this strong woman. She defeated him easily and destroyed the Ice Crown Citadel.
    Now Alexstraza is taking her place. Surrounded by weak male characters she's the most powerful dragon around. She's already replaced Sylvanas on the game banner. It's almost certain that she'll keep growing her power, no one will be able to counter her. So get used to seeing her for next two expansions and wait for cataclysms.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This Expansion had so much potential to start erasing the mistakes of the last 3 Expansions! However, Blizzard has ruined the enjoyment of this Expansion for those of us Gamers who play Video Games to escape from the Identity Politics, by inserting a large amount of Identity Politics, and activism in this expansion.

    If you don't enjoy seeing multiple quests in every Zone of the Dragon Isles that focuses on Gay Couples, then you should pass on this Expac. If it was 1 or two Quests, there would be no problem; the problem though is that there's multiple Quests and I mean 5 or More in the first two Zones if the Expac that I visited. I don't consider myself homophobic, but I don't want that garbage in my escapism. Some of us don't approve of Homosexuals, and do not want it shoved in our faces, especially when we are doing an activity specifically to avoid real life problems. Blizzard is now forcing their extreme left wing views on it's players, and if you argue that content like that doesn't belong in a Fantasy Video Game, you're attacked immediately for being Homophobic. This really broke my Heart because I have been a loyal World of Warcraft player since 2007, and forcing in theireft wing ideology into this game has ruined my desire to play it anymore. I had bought a $150 twelve months promotion, and had to argue with Blizzard customer support to get a refund, which they relented and are giving me my refund. It's sad that Blizzard knew that putting in this kind of content would likely anger % of the player base, and went forward with it anyway. If they remove that content, I'd consider going back, but let's be honest, they will never remove their activist content. So this is one player who has lost all desire to ever go back to WoW.

    Je vais tenter de rester objectif, tout n'est pas mauvais dans cette extension : le fly en dragon est un concept original (même si affreusement inspiré de GW2), les parcours et les courses ajoutent du fun. Les paysages sont splendides rien à redire. Le nouveau système de template est également bienvenu. Malheureusement ces menus avantages ne peuvent combler ma satisfaction à eux seuls.

    Les déceptions : les donjons disons le clairement sont mauvais mais vraiment mauvais. C'est bien simple il n'y en a pas un seul que j'aime et c'est bien une première en 17 ans de jeu sur WoW. Cela m'a dégouté de tenter les mm+. Parlons du nouveau système de métiers, qui est clairement d'une lourdeur est d'une complexité innommable ! Ok ils ont voulu apporter un peu de fraîcheur à ce dernier mais là c'est beaucoup trop, c'est fouillis à souhait on s'y perd. Les commandes de crafting, sur le papier ça pouvait être intéressant mais la réalité a vite enterré la fiction. C'est purement et simplement inutile. Et enfin, je n'ai pas parlé de raid pour la simple et bonne raison que le Lore (qui contribue grandement à ma motivation pour les raids) est complètement éclaté au sol dans cette extension. Et idem que les mm+ je n'ai même pas eu envie de raid... 2ème "exploit" en 17 ans de jeu. J'ai beau avoir adoré les origines des aspects, d'en savoir plus sur la chute de Neltharion mais que c'est vide de sens ! Blizzard à voulu surfer sur la mode des dragons qui règne actuellement en remettant les aspects au premier plan. On nous sort une nouvelle menace qui vient de nul part comme d'habitude avec une Raszageth au comportement digne d'une ado au summum de sa crise de rébellion pour libérer ses copains encore plus méchants qu'elle. Ca n'a aucun sens bon sang ! C'est mou, plat et ennuyeux au possible.
    Il y avait d'autres possibilités bien plus intéressantes notamment concernant le contenu sur les seigneurs du Vide ou sur La corruption de la Lumière et l'armée de Dark Yrel.

    Dernier point, le plus explosif : l'effet néfaste, selon moi, du Wokisme sur le jeu et sur son histoire. Cela a commencé doucement dans SL, pour débarquer tel un rouleau compresseur dans DF. On a commencé par supprimer les sexes. Plus d'homme, plus de femme maintenant on parle de morphologie... Je doute que toutes les personnes homosexuelles soient pour ce changement car à mon sens c'est une sérieuse dérive. Les dragons humanoïdes et les Draktyr males comme femelles n'ont quasiment aucune différence morphologique WTF... Alors que quand on regarde Alexstrasza on voit bien que c'est une femelle bon sang ! Parlons maintenant des romances, quand on pex on nous a mis en avant quelques romances entre PNJ et devinez quoi ? ce sont tous des couples gay... à croire que l'hétérosexualité soit devenue une honte ? Qu'on soit bien clair : OUI à l'ouverture d'esprit et à sa libre orientation sexuelle, NON à ce qu'une minorité veuille nous imposer leur vision de la vie.

    La société devrait toujours compter sur le bon sens de la majorité des gens pour faire évoluer les consciences et non pas sous la dictature et l'influence néfaste d'une poignée.

    Ah, Dragonflight, where do I even begin? Well, for starters, it seems the developers are resorting to some cheap tricks to keep their players shelling out that monthly subscription fee. I mean, who wants to grind for renown all day? It's about as exciting as watching a Murloc knit a sweater. And don't even get me started on how they lock the story behind that tedious grind.

    But wait,    Ah, Dragonflight, where do I even begin?

It's about as exciting as watching a Murloc knit a sweater. And don't even get me started on how they lock the story behind that tedious grind.

    But wait, there's more! The trading post is another tactic. They change the items each month, creating a feeling of FOMO, like we're missing out on the best gear or mounts. It's good to give more cosmetics, but with the trading post they don't tell you when exactly you will see those items again.
    Now, let's talk about the loot situation. It's like the developers want us to suffer. They dangle the carrot of epic loot in front of our faces, but it's always just out of reach, depending on pure luck.

    And let's not forget about the developers' hypocrisy.
    They've added several lgbtq+ elements to the game, hoping to improve their reputation after the lawsuits against them. But at the same time, they stick to a very strong form of racism in their game. I'm talking about the racial segregation of playable races between factions. It's not just ethically questionable, it's also terrible for the player experience. Players are forced to choose a faction based on the race they want to be. Veeeeeery progressive... not.

    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.

    So, there you have it, folks. I'm not impressed at all and the coming patch will give us more... more recycled stuff. I might change this review with 10.2, if they'll actually add something new and improve bad stuff like their racist foundation, but so far? No thanks, there are better games out there.    … Expand

    Dragonriding with an energy system, when the game has gathering and you're going back and forth between high cliffs and low ground so you're always running out of vigor on a farming route.
    Dragonriding which causes motion sickness even with the 'accessibility' settings.
    Dragonriding which can't do sharp turns like regular flying mounts and can't just fly up because 'losing momentum', so everything but the 'max speed' is worse than regular flying.

    Questing experience again, 'campaign' streamlined which is always a poor choice.

    Renown is another poor system they're pushing forward to keep it limping, and it's not account wide like people gave the feedback for. No real catch up mechanics besides "Oh hey you earn a little more while doing all the quests again!" which hey, people don't want to do because the questing is a slog and a chore.

    Basically the removal of World Content as a whole, and what World Content there is, like World Quests have poor rewards and are generally unfun to play through.. So many more 'minigames' instead of I don't know, playing my character? They're LESS compelling than SL WQs which is saying something.

    New Profession system, requiring MONTHS of working on and farming to level up properly, and CRAFTING professions are now basically untenable without others helping you, you have to PAY them to get help btw so Blizzard fosters more community toxicity again while claiming to want to fight it (again). Continued disabling of certain profession things like Transmutes because someone figured out an exploit and Blizz has no Quality Assurance team.

    Customization options still lacking for many races, especially those of furred variety, as well as the utter failure that is the Dracthyr.

    They've really been pushing cash shop transmog and other items since the xpac launched, right after making you shell out a large sum of money for a game on top of monthly fees you have to PAY more to get the 'cool new items'. If they want to do that they're gonna have to make expansions or sub free, sorry.

    Class Balance is an absolute joke in PvE and PvP this time around and in old world content like older cities, players with broken Heart of Azeroth essences have a large advantage as well as tanks that just self-heal to max and take so little damage.

    Talent Trees TRIED to return to Vanilla style and failed, taking base things from class toolkits and making them talents to make them 'feel better' but failing. I DO NOT want to have to 're-earn' something I already had before.

    Blizzard also doesn't equally enforce their rules in game or on the forums, and in fact rarely actions anything at all. Low amounts of reports mean nothing, meaning Blizzard doesn't value their reports and doesn't care.    … Expand

    I don't understand how WoW gets WORSE with each expansion, but here's a few of my gripes;
    1) "Smushed levels" ...expansions increased level cap to 120, until shadowlands, when the levels got 'smushed' and set most folks back WEEKS, if not MONTHS of grinding. New level cap is 70... for now.

    2) ZERO ability to follow the storyline from main game to 1st expansion to current; game bounces you from zone to zone, expansion to expansion without regard to continuity, story, or your level. [Yay, level scaling! ..not]
    3) speaking of lack of continuity, large portions of expansions, if not ENTIRE CITIES have been altered, tweaked, or simply retconned out of existence, 'for the sake of plot' [which again, one huge jumbled mess]
    4) some zones have had 'visual makeovers' while most older zones look like you're playing a game on a sega genesis... ZERO consistency in visual fidelity.
    5) PvP has been a hot mess since the Legion expansion, which was released NEARLY A DECADE AGO!

    and thats just my top five gripes.    … Expand

    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.

    I've been playing FFXIV for the last year... It's just so much better in every way possible. I came back to try DF because I feel like WoW is my "home"... But it's just so bad... And we're not even talking about the lore... The game history got better since SL, but it still terrible.

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

    Blizzard is dead and gone, no reason to keep playing their stuff... I'll probably try the next expansion, but yeah... We have better options right now    … Expand

    - they ruined the WAR atmosphere between horde and alliance. they said that it will be never again a war between these two factions, but still you can not talk with players of another faction. Just why?
    - a lot of bugs
    - a few new dungeons. it is not a level of 2022 game
    - old talents. old skills. they just changed the talent tree again, but it does not impact the gameplay. I can not feel that i am playing something new. so no class upgrades or changes.
    - old quest design. nothing new. same quests.
    - m+ gear is worse than raid gear. so literally you are forced to to 20+ ppl content. and again I dont understand why?
    - awful pvp balance. nothing new. its a pve game at the end.

    Only change in the game is much more LGBT content. Majority of quests is gay/trans stories. I mean...OK, but I am not a far right guy, I dont need to be teached about diversity for 40$ + month subscription.

    Dragonflight is a step in the right direction, but falling flat in some areas. Worth playing for fans of the IP, but long time fans are going to feel left out in some areas.

    Pros:
    -End Gameplay is solid: removal of bloated systems and a return to simplicity makes the game feel more like a game again.
    -Professions Overhaul: MMORPG staple finally brought to modern standards.
    -Dragonflying: a perfect replacement for "swimming" through the air.
    -wPvP and PvP are back: rewards for both fighting the opposite faction out in the world, and in instances on ladder. Solo queue has finally been implemented, but...

    Cons:
    -War in Warcraft has been diluted: actual fans of the IP for the long term understand Horde vs Alliance. Working together with the opposite faction as a fan of the original game this much just feels awful. Peace time exists, but the game feels diluted and lost it's soul.
    -Solo Shuffle: solo queue arenas have massive problems with wait times, lack of incentives for healers and MMR issues for them, and people leaving will ensure you've just wasted over a half hour of your time with no CR gains or losses.
    -Dracthyr: an MMORPG race that can't even wear armour in it's main form? All the development time was put into a visage form with customization that could have easily gone to other races, which also still feel horribly outdated.
    -Faction Imbalance: the Alliance still lacks any interesting new races, and has human male models that look like gorillas. Playing one faction shouldn't feel like you're getting scraps, but if you're a Horde main who doesn't care that you're working with Alliance peacefully in a war game, you'll likely feel fine.

    While the game continues to evolve to modern standards, it is still massively behind, and with a focal part of the game's identity - Horde vs Alliance - being put to the side, hopefully temporarily, other games in the genre like XIV, Guild Wars 2, or even Star Wars offers more features, and embraces their identities in full.

    Worth playing if you enjoy the end game cycle, but if you're a long time Warcraft fan or enjoy the old stories, this doesn't feel like Warcraft.    … Expand

    Very poor and very slow PvP balances for the game. They lose a massive amount of players who feel like their classes are being ignored while other classes are just superior in every way.

They lose a massive amount of players who feel like their classes are being ignored while other classes are just superior in every way.

    Solo Shuffle the new rated Solo arenas is a disaster as Blizzard favors players with previously high rating in shadowlands by giving them automatic high MMR and letting them shoot up the boards even though this is a new expansion and solo shuffle is completely new.

    Furthermore, Blizzard has an extreme bias towards some classes like Demon Hunters who right now are untouchable and do 3x as much damage as the 2nd closest class. It's like you have 2 DPS classes in 1 with an insane amount of control/CC/stuns. The top 100 Solo Shuffle board has 40+ demon hunters.

    Blizzard also hit the game with a series of nerfs that completely destroyed some classes before the season even went live based on some world PvP and buffed others until they become completely dominant like Shadow Priests.

    Unfortunately, the PvP side of DF so far has been a disaster and whoever is in charge of it at Blizzard needs to do a much better job and adjusting class damage numbers and the amount of CC in the game has become obnoxious. Their solution is Dampening and bandage solutions that don't actually address the game's fundamental problems.

    There is also a massive issue with PvP and PvE boosting where people spend gold to get their ratings boosted or to get carried through a raid, they do so by buying gold through Blizzard's services and Blizzard turns a blind eye to this because they make a profit from it. It is however undermining the value of these activities and making legitimate players frustrated.

    Blizzard also screwed up the race to world first by making changes to the last boss while only 1 guild was raiding.

    DF has a ton of UI bugs as well as game bugs and Dragonriding is a fun mechanic but feels very clunky and can cause you to DC and have your characters bugged across all realms if you DC while strafing.

    Blizzard has also started designing fight encounters on the basis that everyone is running Add-ons which overly complicates the fights. Mythic raids are also unattainable for the majority of WoW players as it requires 20 people from the same realm and Blizzard has continuously focused on putting the majority of the best rewards and gear and cosmetics in Mythic raids.    … 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.
