So I think we all know by this stage that 9.1 is very, very late. So, with that being said, the rest of the content patches will more than likely be late. Are they going to have to rush things out so they can move onto the next expansion similar to WoD? What do you think is going to happen?

ok chat hear me out, Sylvanas is the last boss in the next raid right? What if nathanos will be the mythic only phase on her fight (like chogall in Highmaul)? like he comes back a last time and u finaly kill him for good or smth
Arthas showing up like Cosgrove from Freakazoid being like "Hey…cut it out."
While playing Wrath I didn't feel like Arthas showed up too much, but I was also a lot younger and my bar for what I would consider good storytelling was a lot lower than what it is now. Years later when it was brought up as a critique and I thought about it and it made sense. Even if we're in Icecrown in HIS territory, he's the lich king with a massive scourge army, yet he's the one running around and popping up? It's just kinda silly. Having him appear from time to time is fine, Halls of Reflection a great moment brings the main antagonist to the forefront and directly into our path and all we can do is run.
YES! STARGATE!! Nice to know you are also a fan!!
they just recycle old content (TBC) and people eat it up. Why would they bother wasting time and money developing new content when they can just recycle old shit and make millions? smart move. kinda scummy but smart
stay safe friends.
When it comes to seeing a video in game nothing come close to the Wrath Gate cinematic. Everything else is living in its shadow. Like SL! Wrath for life!!!
Actihell took over, ruined the game, fire workers who make over a certain amount, hire cheap ass workers who are new (Who probably leave after a year or so), and more. They do not care at all about the game anymore.
Shadowlands was not near ready when they pushed it out. We knew this and many wanted it to be late, just so it’s more ready before it came out. Yet the dumbasses pushed it out anyway. It’s another beta expansion now. They do not even show the slightest care for the story, or the players.
Actihell will make them push this patch out I’m sure, even though we know damn well it won’t be ready. This is a problem due to Mr Greedy piggy pants in charge. He just wants the money for himself, and does not care about the game at all. Once it does not bring in the money, he will ditch it like spoiled milk. His cheap ass is banking on mobile games for those micro transactions.
Problem with current blizzard seems to be their need to satisfy bean counters. Patches don't make money. WoW has not retained the majority of players that return for an expansion beyond the first month or so of launch for several expansions now. Patches might bring a some players back for a month or two, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to the money blizzard makes launching an expansion. Personally I think the reason for constant content droughts and the feeling of rushed content / expansions cut early is because Blizzard shuffles most of the development priority onto getting the next expansion prepped and ready to launch as soon as the current one has launched. Basically expansion launches, devs are pulled to make sure the next expansion can launch in two years, and whoever is left working on the current expansion has to deal with staff/resource shortages, and it shows / is felt in the gameplay quality.
My bet is 9.2 is the last patch unless they do a small .X patch reusing content and not adding much else to the game. Either 9.2 will be the big final patch or they will make 9.2 a mini patch to try and tide people over for a bigger 9.3 patch, or just make 9.2 the big patch and make 9.3 more of a 'filler' patch maybe with a raid and more just reused assets to fill it out more if they can.
Last time this happened, we were in WoD.
With how long it's taken to get patch 9.1 I guess 9.2 will be sometime next year, what a waste of money we have spent buying shadows, paying the subscriptions for next to no content, just it to be a prolonged content draught. How disappointing.
Omg youtubes auto generated captions write sylvanas as „sylvanus“
Exactly what a lot of people were scared of early on, its so sad the amount of time put into covenants for it to just be what it is ='(
Retail just never feels good to me, and it’s for the reasons always discussed here and everywhere else. I am hoping they can restore the brand in some other creative way. I am enjoying classic and TBC. So maybe they can do a remastered series or do World of Warcraft Origins using a new game engine and start at the first war. I loved WoW, but quality dropped for Cata, then again for BFA, now Shadowlands is hit or miss all over. RIP
I don't agree with your take on Arthas. I don't agree that Arthas was fleshed out super well in Wrath. I think you guys are remembering it through rose tinted glasses. Wrath didn't develop Arthas that well.
The reason why Arthas was so well developed wasn't because of WoW, it was because Warcraft 3 gave us context to his actions when people first got into northrend. What people are remembering as good character development from Wrath is actually all due to Warcraft 3 and the context/background it provided to Arthas.
You guys have been a little delusional when it comes to reminiscing on old content. I noticed you guys tend to paint old content as better than it actually was.
Jailer vs Emet Selch. Nuff said.
Hearing about things that happen in the story campaign of other covenants makes me wish that we could do all 4 campaigns on a single character without dropping our primary one. If the shadowlands is all working together against the maw, and we've already helped each covenant while leveling, why can't the Kyrian send their new champion to help sort out the mess in Revendreth? If we're canonically the only maw-walker, then surely the Kyrian would need help from the hero from Revendreth to help with their Forsworn problem, no? Why do I have to seriously gimp myself or level a whole additional character to 60 in order to experience more than 25% of the story?
It's even worse if you play night fae because that campaign sucks balls.
But seriously. We're in a content draught. Why would we be closed off from most of the end-game solo content?
rip simon cliff
Should be called Hollowlands, because there is fucking ZERO to do, no committment, no engagement, no cool story, nothing!
I wish they would have focused more on the story of the covenants, what happened, how it came to be this way. Nobody gave a damn when the soul binds and conduits were announced, and nobody does now, or at least many dont. I am so sick of these systems that take away from them telling a good story, cause imo, I like the lore, but they have a hard time filling us in even when the time is right. How many times are we gonna say simple like talent trees before they do that so they can make the game really good again, with good characters. Hello, Blizz, we dont need a bunch of systems that make it convoluted and piss us off in the end. If it ends up being a year from now for 9.2, that will be it for the expansion and time to move on to another one.
The quantity over quality business model has ruined this game. The biggest lie you will ever tell yourself is other games aren’t worth playing.
Holy click bait titles lately, Bellular. Lol
Making the leader of the Horde the Big Bad of an expansion AGAIN was a terrible idea. I'm grateful that they didn't rub our faces in it by making us deal with Sylvanas at every turn. At least I could sort of forget about that whole awful story when I was dealing with covenant stuff.
Teal'c is pretty great. Haven't finished Stargate yet, but I love Teal'c!
I didnt see cinematics in game. Most on wowhead.
I think blizz need to just accept this expansion is going to be a longer expansion.
our characters performing the side quests while the real story is happening mostly in cinematics is totally how I feel it; catching the story in YT vids is my preferred method now sadly
Just imagine if they would've done a Dragon Isles expansion instead. And instead of the covenants we bound ourselves to a dragonflight, replacing the soulbinds with a dragon companion with a Legion artifact type skill tree. I think that would've been dope.
I feel that almost any story and characters would be weighed down by being the 9th iteration of an MMO. The story doesn't even pertain to the player character, basically the cinematic characters control the story and the player only fill the role of – powerful character that will use their power to help the main characters…… yeah… imagine if in captain America winter soldier Steve Rogers get sidelined at the conclusion so the random shield agent that the player controlled can win the day…. what?
I think the issue with players not really caring about the Jailer will be an issue for every new expansion that is not on Azeroth or moves away from the original cast of the Warcraft universe. Players have known and interacted with the Lich King a lot over the years so naturally they care about him as a character more than someone Blizzard just introduced a few months ago. Blizzard will have to do better to make people care about new lore but it’s damn near impossible to do it successfully when it comes to brand new worlds and characters
I actually can’t think of a cinematic from Shadowlands via in game. I feel completely disconnected from the story. Like who the fuck am I suppose to be rooting for?? All the characters are soft now.. Bwomsamdi and Zappyboi need to take over Azeroth !
Syl will be redeemed by 9.2 and they will announce the next xpac "sylvannas, all hail the queen". Where we will all bow down to her org.
at this point, itd almost be better they just give everyone a free 30minute to 1 hour animated movie that explains all the lore and says go forth, do whatever the fork you want
World of Warcraft shadowlands feels exactly like raid shadow legends a glorify mobile quest game so little content our avatars don’t feel like heroes no real attachment feels like empty no soul no love. So damn rushed this expansion have
It's not impossible to identify with Sylvanas. I'm a Sylvanas stan.
That being said, the story as presented in WoWs gameplay is weak at face value.
I can only really appreaciate Sylvanas when I take into account the entire history of her character even prior to her death.
Her immediate motivations make zero sense without the idea that she's stuck in her WotLK mental state.
Toghast should open up at a lower level than 60.
They arnt rushing it, they just haven't given us much content on it at all.
I absolutely hate Thorgast, having it tied to progression and also professions. The Maw is just flat out annoying. I want to feel like I can do the quests in the Maw without quickly gaining the eye of the jailer where you end up fighting many mobs constantly and can't finish the damn quests, then having to wait 24 hours for the eye of the jailer dropping off. I had high Hope's for Shadowlands but find it's a little too grindy and boring now.
