3. Austin should choose mining and herbalism as professions and fly around the Ringing Depths. He'll see other players (and a myriad of bots) swarm each and every node he lands on.

4. Weren't the Earthen's creators like … the Titans? .. I thought we had learned a lot about them..

5. I haven’t been this addicted to WoW since 2004-2005. This is as good as it’s ever been. Like seriously hooked again.

6. Austin I just downloaded WoW for the first time two days ago, how did you know?!

7. Good video, agree with pretty much everything here. The rapid campaign and lack of open world difficulty remains a major problem for me, but the instanced content is still really strong.

   I wish they would look at Classic and GW2 (not so much FFXIV!) and increase the difficulty of the open world because it's so trivial that it becomes mindnumbing and loses opportunity for cooperation between players.

   At the end of the day this expansion is more Retail WoW. If you like it you'll have a good time, and if you don't there's nothing here to change your mind.

8. Legion is not a high bar? what? It is the most agreed on best expansion after Wrath. You managed to make both enjoyers and not enjoyers of wow dislike the video. Maybe you should take another approach, idk.

14. Wait you say you've played since legion but you don't know who the creators of the earthen are the titans? I feel like you shouldn't be reviewing the story, because it is great 🙄

15. NGL its not a great look to do a review of a game, and then have a sponsor spot relating to that game even if its just overpriced promo merch

16. Most players are in guild chat in mmos these days unless you're in a major faction city.
    The best gear is still in mythic+ raids. I think delve maxes out just over 610ish.

17. I'm sure the comments are very balanced and civil on this one lol. TWW was made better for me because I played FF14: Dawntrail first. While the story in Wow still isn't amazing, it moved at a reasonable pace, made me care about a new culture (of dwarves even), and included a lot of gameplay. Whereas Dawntrail's writing managed to be boring, too long, and resolved too quickly all at the same.

18. It's crazy that despite coming out in 2004, WoW's gameplay still feels so much better than virtually every mmo that's come out in the past few years.

19. More like The Woke Within

20. how can people look at all that UI on the screen and these tiny characters and go 'Yup, this is what I want to spend time on.'

    i clearly don't get the draw of WoW, but why would you want to look at THAT for more than five minutes??

21. I bought this and played for two weeks and then left. The game is basically the same game I played 10 years ago – poor combat, bad graphics, terrible story, terrible quest design

22. why does austin just sound like a younger skill up (i forgot what that guys real name is)

23. your recommendations suck

24. Lots of online game servers are almost empty on GMT timezone servers basically. If people are able to play in a UTH timezone theres loads of people online as usual.

25. How many different types of dwarves does the Warcraft lore have at this point?! Everything blizzard does with this IP today screams lazy.

26. Glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get the Xal'atath hype. To me she's on the same level as the Shadowlands antagonist Jailer (who is among the most hated ones), vague monologues with no concrete plans, let alone motivations for them in the first place. I guess making the villain hot is all it takes for most people lol
