More content doesn't necessarily mean it's good content. Hands down WoD was better imo.
I would say they are about equal. SL has more content but a lot of it is of somewhat poor quality, while WoD had very little content but what we had was exceptional, plus class design being overall much better. I’m still mad they changed my ret paladin from the WoD model.
WOD had good PvP gear!
WoD was so bad it made me quit the game and i never could start playing it after that again… and 90% of my guild/friendlist quit too
WoD gave us new models.Shadowlands removed jokes and flirts…
I don't think WoD was that bad. Unfinished yes. But it has some of the best mogs and instances since lich king
I'm most mad about batman v superman. Batman would simply not be in a position to be ambushed by superman
I couldnt agree more with asmongold.. and Im saying this as someone who literally stuck with WoW through WoD, and Quit in Shadowlands.. You see, people are not quitting now because Shadowlands is worse than WoD, they are quitting now, because after 3 punches in the nuts, enough is enough.. Then it doesnt matter that the 3rd punch was weaker than the first..
The majority of people in this chat is propably around their early to mid twenties.. and you likely have MUCH more rose tinted glasses remembering your 14-18 year old self playing WoW all day, remembering it as a good time, and then making that mean it was a good expansion, even though in reality, it just took less to please you. For us 30+ year olds who played WoD at the age of 23+, we remember it much more clearly and realistically, (we are however admittedly, much more nostalgic about early WoW, when we were in our teen years, playing all day, despite that period also actually being shite)
Shadowlands isn't great, but the reason so many are quitting now are because it's just too much at this point, combined with the shtshow that is current Blizzard entertainment.
Outside of Raiding (which has thankfully always been in a very high quality compared to most other mmos), there was literally zero to do outside of the regular instanced PvP in WoD. There were the usual reputations to farm, and this time, a garrison to build (which let's be honest, was absolutely terribly designed, and just made you even more antisocial for 2 years straight), but other than that, WoD brought absolutely nothing to the table.. other than longer content droughts than ever before, oh and ofc Apexis crystals, yay.
I'v been playing from 2005 I work full time don't have much time for wow WoD was the only expansion i was able to make gold lvl all classes horde and gear them story was good raid were good i like the dungeons Ashran was good at first open pvp raid just walk in no queue the only thing that would of made WoD the best expansion ever would be the same garrison but a guild hall with you and your guild work to upgrade and build your army.
Jailer: Let me save the Universe from destruction by destroying it myself.
How about you try and fix it some other way first you big dumbo.
Wod was way better because it wasn’t bogged down with endgame shit and all I do in wow is level anyways
lol WoD made asmon start streaming wow, but shadowlands made him litterally go play another game
I remember when he reacted to the video "Was WoD that bad of an expansion?" and he kept agreeing with the good points and claimed maybe we hated too much on it back in the day.
Batman is only able to beat Superman because Superman doesn't want to hurt him and Batman knows it. The few times Superman has actually tried to kill Batman, he only survives because of luck or help.
WoW ended for me in Lich King when they decided to kill Arthas, and ultimately made you realize you will never understand a Warcraft 4 story, unless you’ve played several expansions.
Imo, MoP was trash, and storywise, the fact that they traveled through time and to an alternate dimension was even worse than SL, WotLk was the beginning of the end, Cata was trash, MoP was trash, WoD was trash, Legion redeemed it a bit but ended up being rngtrash and it's never really recovered
People love mop, you deserve shit wow
Wod was great
WoD was not bad I absolutely loved it, don’t get me wrong there wasn’t a lot of content but for a casual like me it was perfect. It was the only time I heroic raided, I tanked as a warrior and it was awesome. I used to think BFA was the worst expansion but shadowlands made me quit wow. I haven’t played in 6 months
The worst part about WoD was the missed potential. They left so much awesome content on the chopping block that when you hear about what could’ve been it makes it sting even worse.
If Blizzard rereleased WoD with all the content they originally had planned for it it would be a huge success.
If nothing else, I like Gul’dan as a villain in WoD and Legion. I thought he was a pretty badass antagonist.
WoD is the only other time I unsubbed. I felt spit on as an Alliance player and a Draenei main in particular. The content drought was bad, and the middle of the story was gutted, making a lot of narrative things unsatisfying, making no sense, and utterly DESTROYING Yrel's character arc. I'll never forgive that.
That said…I think WoD was better than Shadowlands, at least. They're similar. They both had hyped, solid starts. They both had long content droughts and poor follow up. Both of them were the epitome of wasted potential.
The thing for me is that I think SL has more content, but it's also worse content. I didn't mind the few daily missions that WoD had, there just wasn't really…enough of them. If FF14 can tell a story through gameplay, WoD didn't have the gameplay to tell said story, and SL had the gameplay, but no story at all–or in the case of anima grinding–even contradicted the story.
Still this is like comparing a broken arm vs a broken leg. They both suck and should be avoided at all costs.
Nah shadowlands is definitely worse than WoD. While WoD had less content than shadowlands, SL has worse class design, shitty borrowed power systems, lack of glyphs, worse story, worse pvp gearing system, less fun dungeons, worse leveling, and more chores.
Nobody is saying WoD is good, they were both garbage, but I think blizzard has hit an all time low. Let's not forget they are cutting this expansion short too and that it had enormous content droughts.
What a joke. WoD is the best wow expansion! Im sick of repeating this every single time! I started playing in 2014 and had the best time in WoD. Good times.
Do a video about the stock market
Hard disagree. For all the faults of WoD, playing the game never made me want to quit. There wasn't as much to do as I'd like, but the gameplay that was there was good.
That's FAR more than can be said for any of the past 3 expansions (7.3/7.3.5 aside).
WoD was better than SL. It didn't utterly ruin the lore, had more enjoyable pvp, and had incentives to sit and play even if it was boring.
WoD had lots to do because people could grind up garrisons on alts and farm gold. There was also Ashran pvp. It really wasn't as bad as shadowlands. WoD had decent lore.
