At the same time, it was the most philosophic expansion of the WoW and this was beautiful.… Expand

    ıt wasnt best expansion in wow but it wasnt bad i think. I loved raids, dungeons. Shadowlands added best back transmogs too wow, still many players using shadowlands back transmogs. Also mounts and toys were cool. The game's atmosphere was good. you could feel like in otherside in warcraft universe...

    I enjoyed just about EVERY minute of this expansion! It started well, ended well, the story was excellent, the gear looked gorgeous, and it ran incredibly well on a full range of PCs. What else is needed?

    They really did a good job this expansion. They eliminated some of the systems from the past 2 expansions that were destroying the game, such as titanforging.

There are, of course, the typical early expansion balance problems, but they are applying balancing fixes once every 2 weeks or so, which is a good thing.

Leveling is no longer a slog, nor does it include the pain of something like "I just hit 80... only 40 levels to go." You get something new most every time you ding, it's actually a lot of fun leveling up in the BFA content, at least in my opinion, and when I level an alt, I can choose from any expansion out there to level in.

    My wife and I have been having a blast running heroic and mythic dungeons and just stepping into raid content this week. This is no longer a game that demands all of your free time, the classes still feel iconic and the worldbuilding in Shadowlands is a cut above anything I've seen in the decade+ this game has been out.

    Is it perfect? No. Is it a solid game? Definitely. Is it the greatest MMO out there? That's up to you. 8/10, would recommend.    … Expand

    I was very unkind to BfA (although it kind of deserved it) and so coming into shadowlands my expectations weren't overly high. I have to say though, Shadowlands - so far - feels like an excellent expansion. The systems are great, the zones are amazing, the classes (generally) feel like they're in a good place, the storyline and all that jazz seems decent enough. The raid is fun.

This is some of the most fun I've had in wow in... ever
    Like with anything, I'll list a few downsides:-
    Gearing so far has been heavily on the PVP side of things, with a majority of top players opting to gear up via the vendors than to gear up via other means, which has meant that the m+ community may have seen a major drop off in participants, given that the loot situation in m+ is a bit dire at the moment. So if PVP isn't your thing, prepare to dive into the grim m+ scene...
    The M+ dungeon community seems to be as big of a filth swamp as ever. So if you plan to play the game in a casual setting, the M+ wall will hit you pretty hard without your own clique of mates to play with.
    Some classes (mine in particular RIP rogues) are in a bit of a grim state compared to most of the other classes in the game, however it does feel like blizz is looking after the bin classes early days.
    The alt situation, while much better than BfA is a bit of a grind - although SL gearing alts feels more like a 'fun' grind if that makes sense?
    Some people say that the Vault is unrewarding... but for the most part it's been some of the most rewarding content in the game - currently i'm 9/10 heroic progress, and if i had to guess i'd say about 30-40% of my gear has come from the vault. I can see how players would get their hopes up too high, and then blame that on the vault 'being bad' but if you temper your expectations a bit the vault it fine.
    otherwise yeah - solid expansion - would highly recommend you give it a shot.    … Expand

    I don't often write reviews, but reading the amount of subjective, unfounded remarks being tossed around here (often leading to very low scores that do not reflect the game at all) I had to join the fray.

This expansion is key since public    I don't often write reviews, but reading the amount of subjective, unfounded remarks being tossed around here (often leading to very low scores that do not reflect the game at all) I had to join the fray.

    Shadowlands is one of the better expansions Blizzard released in the past years. They learned from mistakes made in BfA and tried to do better. This expansion is key since public opinion on the game was at a low during BfA.

    Pros:
    - Beautifully designed zones
    - New leveling experience (faster than ever before)
    - Quests tell a linear story and the story feels good (obviously that is bound to your own view on it)
    - No need to go through the entire story multiple times when leveling an alt, the choice is yours.
    - No need to spend your entire week getting rep for your covenant. Just a few quests and you can be done. You can also choose to keep going, but it doesn't limit your gameplay in the future if you choose not to.
    - PVP rewards
    - The Vault: you determine what you do during the week and what reward(s) you go for. Beats the mythic+ reward in BfA in so many ways
    - Nathria is a great raid
    - Some classes feel really good to play

    Cons:
    - The Maw and Thorgast feel somewhat tedious after a while
    - Some classes feel not so good to play. Class balancing remains a sore point.
    - Gated content might feel too artificial at times
    - Covenants are still something that feels pushed if you want to be competitive i.e. you can choose whatever one you want but some are really bad for your class. Sucks if you like the armor or other perks of that sucky covenant.

    No doubt I missed some pros and some cons. For me, this game is worth an 8 or maybe a 9. For others there might be things that warrant a 7 or a 6. That's normal, games are subject to taste. What is not normal, is giving this quality game a 4 or less. That's just a bad way of rating things. Don't get fooled, if you liked WoW in the past, you should definitely give Shadowlands a fair chance.    … Expand

    World of Warcraft Shadowlands did alot of things absolutely right:

    After the mess of Battle for Azeroth i returned to WOW:SL with really low expectations, but was really, really surprised:

    The story is packing, i wanted to be part of it, it was just amazeing. The end-game is also setup really well, and they also managed to balance weeklys in a way where it becomes not as annoying.

    I have done ONLY 4 normal dungeons since I hit 60, and that is only cause they had zone ending dungeon quests, else I would have not set foot in any dungeon at all.

    OK, here are my two cents.
    First of all, I would like to say, that i stopped playing WOW after WOTLK and came back late in Legion and played a lot in BFA (worst expansion ever)
    For me, this expansion is going in the right direction. We have less RNG, in Dungeons, we have to focus on 1-2 mobs to kill instead of terrible 50 mobs pull with AOE and Cleave, which again is a good change. We    OK, here are my two cents.

    We have PVP vendors, a way more interesting RAID and mechanics, not only running away from circles like in previous expansion.
    What I don't like is that we have a tiny zones (remember old WOW, where the road in a zone is halfway of your monitor. With having tiny roads, we constantly meet mobs and Horde/Ally, which engage us to combat. Probably, Blizz have to think to create more wide Zones, with better roads etc, if you get my mind.
    What i don't like as well is the Professions. For instance, currently I am an alchemist/herb. Well, I hit max level almost immediately on Alchemy, and i don't see any valuable recipes or something to farm after. I have Mana Potions, I can create Flasks that i need, so basecly profession does not make me feel that I have earned something special. For instance in TBC, you have to farm recipes etc.etc.
    Lastly, I am happy that they tried to change/update class abilities, because most of them are extremely boring. They did some job, but they can do better.
    In addition, I am more happy with Shadowlands than all previous expansions of modern WOW.
    Blizz, if you are able to implement more of the already known things in Vanilla, TBC and WOTLK things (professions, farming of recipes, more insteresting zones to level, with bigger space and roads, so you can decide weather to enter in combat in PVP or PVE), together with more changes to boring mechanics in classes and continue improving, I thinkg WOW will become again a Masterpiece. Besides that, I am happy with the new expansion as well.

No more titanforging/warforging, you only have chance to get gem socket on the item which gives more value to mythic raids and key pushing in m+. Also "weekly chest" big upgrade item can be obtained from completing pvp, m+ or raiding, so if you do all of three you have 9 items to pick from ( you pick only one) therefore destroying rng.

    Spec/class wise some talents are utterly useless and should be reworked, but at least more talent choices than in BFA (former expansion).

    Covenant and conduits are also boring when it comes to some specs/classes forcing you to pick covenant depending on spec, most conduits (items that enhance some of your abilities) are just raw % dmg increase while others are overnerfed and useless(Speaking from beast mastery view of conduits, simply boring). But to sum it up covenants are weak anyway and don't change gameplay that much.

    Professions are fun and gold is easily earned, also it's worth farming gold with gathering professions. Item level changing material is good concept.

    Story is sloppy, some aspects of shadowlands were badly described, perhaps they are described somewhere but surely not in main quests for leveling, quests are mainly focused on problems within shadowlands instead of explaining how are races made and such, what happens if they die in shadowlands, what exactly is anima. For "shadowlands are infinite" they sure feel small. Also I was expecting more casual back cosmetics, normal looking backpacks, quivers, etc.    … Expand

    Top-notch writing and story, excellent zone pacing and transitions, perfect balance of main story quests and side tasks, and an endgame chock-full of deep systems to enjoy.

    The most fun new system WoW has ever introduced is Shadowlands marquis feature called Torghast, Tower of the Damned—a procedurally-generated “rogue-like” dungeon where you gain insane new powers and abilities as you climb consecutive levels of ever-increasing difficulty.

    Even if Shadowlands had NO new features, almost every class (and every specialization within those classes) has been tweaked and given back fun abilities and skills that had been removed in previous expansions in the name of simplification. Some abilities are purely utility or damage-focused, while others simply bring consistency from a lore/RPG standpoint (such as all Mage specializations gaining Frostbolt, Arcane Blast, and Fireball; “Yes, I went to Mage School, but I *specialized* in Fire. Of course I know what a Frostbolt is!”).

    So the base game is just fun to play. When the classes are enjoyable and unique, it elevates all the content within the game.

    Crafting & Gathering Professions are finally a true market force yet again. I got that old-school RPG feeling when I realized just how many gear enchantments, potions, and usable items were available to “min/max” difficult content. Better than that, however, is the fact that many key progression systems rely on various professions, and high-end crafted products require multiple disparate professions’ output, meaning that the market must contend with itself from almost every aspect of the game. No single character can “do it all.” Players must rely on others (it is an MMO, afterall), OR have multiple alts with all of their professions maxed out (not ideal for one’s sanity, but some mad-lads do it anyway).

    The graphics are gorgeous, the music is epic and inspiring, the lore is engaging and fascinating, the voice acting is charming, and the new zones are unique and thematically-perfect.

    And once you get to max level, the fun has only just begun.

    Luckily, unlike the previous two expansions (Legion in 2016 and Battle for Azeroth in 2018), the endgame content is tailor-fit to each player’s goals:

    Players who only like PVP can just PVP, and they can finally (once again) target specific earned gear upgrades while remaining competitive with PVE gearing.

    Players who love raiding can focus exclusively on raiding (once this first tier begins next week).

    Players who just love dungeons can gear up exclusively with Legion’s most impactful new system, Mythic +, where you earn infinitely-harder versions of dungeons and enemy affixes based on your group’s performance in each run, and you get commiserate rewards. The dungeon design is fantastic as usual (there have been the occasional “duds” over the years, but high-quality dungeons and raids are typically a given for the Warcraft team at this point).

    Players who love all 3 main endgame gearing paths are rewarded with MUCH faster and specified gear upgrade acquisition than those who only do one form of content.

    Players who couldn’t care less about those 3 pillars of competitive endgame progression have LOADS of fun tertiary gameplay to enjoy: Gorgeous new mounts and transmogs (armor and weapon appearances), titles, pets, gold, extreme achievements, and a dearth of open-world systemic upgrades via the new Covenant system, whereby each player chooses one of four themed factions to fight for, represent, and build up their base of operations.

    Blizzard ensured that you can enjoy endgame content endlessly without feeling pressure to constantly grind if you don’t want to or don’t have time to. Each player power progression system is inherently limited/capped to specific benchmarks each week, so once you do what you feel like doing, you’re done for the week. Don’t care about a specific kind of content? No need to do it. And if you change your mind, you can catch up on almost everything later when you DO have time or if you suddenly gain an interest in other endgame content. For players who want to stay competitive in endgame combat content (player power for raids, dungeons, and PVP), there’s very little *mandatory* tasks to complete periodically:

    1) Earn as much from Torghast as possible each week, up to a very reasonable limit (for materials to build your own personal Legendary item).

    2) Do each week’s Covenant quests to earn new buffs to your abilities and open world hub.

    And that’s pretty much it. The rest is up to you. This has been one of the best launches of an expansion pack that WoW has ever had, and I can’t wait to earn each week’s new story content and upgrades. And I’m insanely excited to jump into the new raid with my guild next week!

    See you in Oribos!    … Expand

    A real effort has been put in by the devs to stop handholding and forcing players and allowing them to pick and choose what they want to do. It's too early to make definite conclusion but if you like MMOs this is shaping up to be a good expac so far.    … Expand

The pacts are an innovative idea and it's really fun to play. Torghast with its randomly created dungeon logic (a little greeting of diablo mechanics) is a fresh welcome to the dungeon system of world of warcraft. Fun to play!

    The story is pretty good so far after the first week. The new zones are beautiful and a welcome change from the boring landscapes of azeroth that we have grown accustomed to. For once, I can finally say that I love the soundtrack of the game. The level squish was a welcome change. Although it did make for a bland prepatch state of weakness for my main. It felt good to have something to look forward to in my spellbook as I was leveling.

    Unfortunately, this expansion carries on the theme of borrowed power that many players have come to detest. Borrowed power is basically an ability or mechanic that will only exist in any one given expansion. Though, they are good! Each class has their own special ability that they can choose from one of four covenants and another signature ability that every player gets when they accept the hospitality of one covenant. You will be introduced to all of these covenants and abilities as you go through the leveling campaign. This system has its negatives for people who really want to explore their class and get the most out of it. But, I won't get into that. Realistically, only ~10% of the population will feel that sting in any significant way. Launch issues were present. Which happens to every major online release. But thats a strike against the company not the game. At least this isn't a single player game that requires an internet connection. Thankfully, I'm on a small server group so I didn't have much trouble logging in. Though the war mode sharding could have been better. I felt as though my group was outnumbered 5 to 1 by alliance so pvp wasn't really going favorably. We ended up turning off war mode. End game content is pretty solid. I enjoy the dungeons for the most part. They seem like a healthy middle ground between that of Legion and BFA. Im excited for when the keystone season begins to figure out which ones I truly love and hate. The Maw is a good idea for an end game zone. I just wish I could mount there! Druids and Worgen have an advantage in this zone since they can naturally move at mounted speed minus 10%. It looks like eventually, we can get a mount that is usable within the Maw. That aside, its pretty fun to go in there and rough up the jailers army and build a relationship with our new friend out there. They also borrowed the Miyazaki mechanic of returning to where you died to recover the zones currency that was lost when you died. Thankfully, you dont lose all of it. I think I lost about 15% of what I had on me when I died. Finally, Torghast, Tower of the Damned. Its a really fun roguelike addition to WoW that is both repetitive and challenging. I fear that it will quickly become a chore, as the only purpose it serves is to gather soul ash, which is used to craft our legendary gear. For the time being, it is incredibly fun. Im hoping they start to add some cosmetic rewards to it.

    Typically, every second expansion introduces a new class for players to try. Unfortunately this is the first time we did not get that. Maybe one is in the works, but covid complications prevented it from being ready in time. At least that's what I'm hoping. Thanks to the shadowlands, they could do anything without being world breaking for the game!

    I havent found the time to do structured PVP yet, but im sure its the same as always. Major balancing changes need to happen at some point before the season starts. The worst part is how blatantly the mechanics are designed to keep you subscribed for a long time. There exist weekly caps on many things. Take for example, the campaign. This week, we were only able to finish 2/9 chapters of the level 60 campaign. And I need to wait until next week to hit renown 5, capped at 3 this week, to continue my campaign. This is a little lame, as it almost rewards players for joining the game a little bit later since they won't have to wait so long to get everything unlocked. That being said, it does seem like some major features of the game will be locked behind campaign progression. Meaning that catching up an alt may be a bit of a chore. Or, new players may be at a disadvantage to their peers if they join a month or two down the line. My last point. This expansion seems to be extremely alt friendly. Once you finish the introduction, you can choose to skip the leveling campaign, and go straight to joining a covenant and completing world quests and doing dungeons. This is awesome. It seemed like a lot of my friends were able to max a second character in just a few hours. All in all its a solid experience here in the first week. A few critical bugs preventing side quest progression here and there but nothing besides server-side lag has impeded on the main story. Which is good. In my mind, it certainly does not deserve the amount of review bombing its receiving. Be critical when reading some of the worst user reviews :)    … Expand

    + 4 Alternative Story Lines to play if you want to!
    + gear with pve and pvp
    + 4 absolute different zones which looks awesome!
    + very good explaining of everything! I love to test the new abilties while leveling. And it's still hard to decide in the end :)

    Negative Points:
    -The Alternative leveling phase costs more time and is not very interesting.
    - if you Hit 60 with normal questing again, you have tp complete the Campaign again? Maybe bug!

    Neutral:
    +- torghast. You will Need it, and you can love it or hate it. Maybe to a later time, there will be Other ways to progress your legendarys.

    So at this point, 6 days after Release the game is Great!
    I had very Little Problems and Im excited to see what comes next.    … Expand

    Top Spiel sieht gut aus spielt sich sehr gut keine nerviges lvl bis 60 Story bisher Top Lore ist Bombe und das nur in der ersten Woche.
    Und nach einer Woche intensivem spielen kann man an über das Spiel einfach nicht meckern.
    Die Trolle die 0 Punkte geben sind halt kleine Kinder die zu früh von der Brust genommen wurden. Naja Jeder darf meckern oder Loben aber 0 Punkte ist lachhaft.

    I don't really understand the bad reviews on metacritic. Compared to BfA this expansion is a 10+. Great performance at launch, graphics have improved (though the game is still an old one). I love the new mechanics and the story is promising. I hope blizzard Kris up the good work.

    Heyho. I heard here are many people's who don't know what this game is. Because the raitings are bull$*#%*.

    I playes like around 3 day's and can say i have not enough informations to give a real feedback for the game. So if you realy mean you are right with your raiting? No they whant just kill the game more than that isn't it. To my Rating: For me its one of the best MMoRPG's    Heyho. I heard here are many people's who don't know what this game is.

    So if you realy mean you are right with your raiting? No they whant just kill the game more than that isn't it. To my Rating: For me its one of the best MMoRPG's worldwide. Since releas i had many fun over the jears i game it. It hade over the Jears many bug's but they all repaired or reported. In other Games i know it haven't intelligent bug report systems. Its in wow also not the best but it works better then other. To the addon i whant to say its for me better like Legion and i see in real no addon who whas realy sad. the only problem what i see is some guys who dosn't like the game and whant push it from the internet. Grafic: Since 16 jears is the graficmodel existence of the world. I think i need not more to say that blizzard make the best work to became whith this old system such powerful textures and models. Its a beautiful work and i love to see in shadowlands a perfect new setting to show us that. Gameplay: i feal like i have the best from all my best addons in one. The pakt system give me a fealing like granision in WoD with legion impacts. My classes ar work like my best times on wotlk and cata but it still not the same as there. I have fun and it is not to easy to play. And the hole quest system have all i whanted from all addons before i dont see why people think it haven't enough content. So i need to go to bus i have more but no more time tanks for reading and god bye. wo    … Expand

    All in one, a very nice game. A few bugs here and there but the add-on is still young;). The graphic is great, the story is very interesting and, in my opinion, there is also enough to do. 9/10

    You can choose many different optical character features on every race.

    Blizzard finally comes with an alt-friendly expansion that brings back the best features of the previous ones. The patch that WoW desperately needed. [Issue#309]

    World of Warcraft: Shadowlands certainly manages to capture the same feelings we’ve had since first started playing the game. The leveling experience overhaul, constant sense of progress with rewards, and new campaign stories make Shadowlands a must-have for any avid player.

    World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is a return to greatness for the franchise. The content is both accessible and fun for all types of players, and the story actually makes you feel like everything you’re doing is helping to save the Shadowlands. Torghast is one of the best features ever added and makes each experience unique and fun. While there are some issues which can slow down the time it takes to get everything you want, the journey there is still enjoyable.
