Then you go into content gating and parsing content out over several months that is clearly done it gets tiresome to play the game the way Ion tells us too.
I hope it ends being a good expansion but I kind of think it’s going to end up being a bit of a disaster like WoD.
FFS People act like they are only adding pvp content with this expension. Umm hello all the pve content is still there and it is actually amazing. How is it so bad that they are adding something for pvp players too? Like wtf!? People on this forum are hopeless... This is WoW not some poorly made asian mmo shit. Blizzard won't stop adding pve content and make the whole game as a pvp mmorpg...
spot on
Its actually quite the opposite.
There are a few interesting additions to PvP but WoW as a whole is much less PvP oriented than ever in BFA.
War Mode is now the only way to open PvP because PvP servers are no more. Servers are now PvE or RP.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I played wow’s beta and have played a lot of every expansion. It’s not misinformed to just not like some of the changes they’ve made. I understand some of their changes but just don’t like all of them. BFA Sounds cool to me in many respects but I’m just not all that hyped for it like I have been other expansions.
I really believe this expansion doesn’t fee as big or interesting as Legion or WoTLK, I guess we’ll find out.
Just like with every xpac you will have to learn to replay your class. They really did do away with the being able to blindly run in an kill everything. It kinda has the old feel where you had to take your time and not just run and gun, AoE the place down. To me this is a welcome change, but to those with no patience that want an fps feel to the game will most likely hate it. The GCD are going to make those same people create rant after rant on forums like they already are. The only place I saw where the GCD will cause issues if you get a random group that refusing to work together in groups and not attack the tanks target or what their own aggro. If the tank just popped their major taunt/anything to pull aggro back to them, they most likely will not be able to pick up the mobs. Then just like they used to they will blame the tanks and healers for everything.
The way it was heading was horrible to be honest. There was no team work really needed unless you where trying to do the top end raid content. I mean I could almost solo basic mythics and only really needed a healer for higher ones with maybe a single dps. Legions systems allowed us to basically wreck anything you ran across in PVE there was no challenge whatsoever. As soon as you got your artifact and leveled it up you became a god basically.
Overall glad to see them trying to take the game in a different direction, it was much needed. Glad they are finely giving the pvp people some love to, even if I don't pvp that much anymore. What little I actually did play of the pve was good. And like I said just took some time to get used to the new setup and thing was good to go.
But can we talk about that half human, half draenei thing in the banner image? Lol what is that?
Phasing. The same way they've been doing for years and most recently when you join a group for a World Quest. Even regular leveling zone are cross server now. WoW in many ways serves as a megaserver game without actually having a megaserver.
So with the new PvP system, you toggle Warmode On and Off in the faction capital, and from then on the only people you see in the world are other players - from any server in your region, but I think preferring your own maybe? - who are flagged the same way you are. You're in a Phase with other Warmode On players or Peace Mode on, depending on what you chose.
that's the most horrible thing one can do to a MMO (imho)... completely obliterates the sense of persistence and continuity in the game world.
Tracking down a 'Wanted' person to some random cavern, with your team of Boba Fetts, only to be ambushed by the bounty and his gang of sneaky punks.
Fun times ahead!

Indeed I really like what I'm reading, but as you said it's after all just reading. That said to be honest the only way this can end up really bad is if like 1 or 2 classes are super overpowered and shit on everyone else otherwise I think that it should be good.
Btw I don't get why people say that this can be worst than WoD....
1st. It has more stuff to do than Legion, so it's already better. If you can't handle GCD then I really don't know what to say. Maybe try Tetris?
2nd. WoD was better than Legion. What did you have to do in Legion? Farm with 1 char(maybe 2 if you had a lot of spare time) Mythics + and that was it. Nothing else. I don't count raiding because it's present in each expansion. PvP was garbage and the fact that you couldn't use more than 1-2 SPECS(Not chars, but specs ffs) it just made it worst. At least in WoD you could do PvP with all your chars whenever you felt like it.
this game ain't balanced for pvp. never will be, and they never tried.
"I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up! Not me!"
You are literally either insane or clueless if you think this. Legion is without a doubt the pinacle of PVE gaming on any mmo ever, with so many raids, options, things like mythic + raiding and mage tower and raiding old content with scaled difficulty with the timewalking feature. You really this has all suddenly died because Blizzard announces a single new pvp feature?
Even the Warfronts, the classic Warcraft themed build and conquer feature is a completely PVE affair.
Oh well. I guess I'll just keep playing on a private vanilla server for now. Once the legitimate ones are available I'll move to those.
