Everything WRONG with Shadowlands Story (First Impressions)



Read more about Shadowlands ➜ https://worldofwarcraft.mgn.gg

World of Warcraft Shadowlands is here! The opportunity to explore new worlds and re-visit old ones is incredible, the story is deep, but the story-telling? Well… let’s talk about everything wrong with Shadowlands’ story-telling…

I am a Day 1 WoW player with limited time to play. I’ve managed to hit 60 on one character, with a few alts on the way. However, in that time I discovered why Shadowlands story is bad, or at least the way it is presented has flaws.

🎥 More content on the way… please enjoy these World of Warcraft Shadowlands first impressions!

💬 What is your opinion – why is Shadowlands bad? Or why is it amazing?

🔥 Hot Tip: If it is going to be a theme park, at least enjoy it! Rush max on one toon so you can unlock all the features and start your weeklies. But other than that, try and enjoy all the great sidequests and lore.

My reviews are based on 3 pillars: Time, Skill, and Funds. Games for Dads should allow you to play even when time is limited, be able to be played by a variety of skill levels, and provide great value for the dollar.

  1. Yeah Warcrafts story died with WoW. But it becomes even worse with eatch addon.
    I wish the you're the "chosen" bs would end.
    The lore is lazy and the story is terrible.

  2. Well before years you got max level and was like: Yay i can now go into the Endcontent with my friends!
    Now it is like: Oh gosh i reached max level now the only things i have to do is grinding rep and Azerite 2.0 (Amina?)
    For me its enjoyable to create new characters and grow them to 50. But Shadowlands, i don't touch it before i got drunk as hell.

  3. WOW is getting old and the shadowland storytelling isn't quite smoothe comparing to old story ( do not like after death storylines). Beside Activision is controlling the game marketing. The reason we loved old expansionsis because we loved ingame story and become part of it. But shadowland has no story, people just running around getting epic gears without reading any storylines. Beside the whole worlds are so compact and condensed.

  4. Well you are wrong, we don't want to be the hero, we want to watch+experience a story much like reading a book. Now unless they give us a canon identity like ''Bob of Ironforge'', having the adventurer as the main hero sucks in every and each of way. There are problems in the story but this isn't one of them.

  5. theywanted to make a story where character is central to it but also appease people who rightfully prefer to be a nobody adventurer. In result they just push a figurehead into the center instead of you and the world isnt open ended where you can actually choose and go do whatever. Theres a narrative going in order through the zones and if you dont want to do that you get worldquest filler…

    Blizzard is a company staffed by lazy racist tallentless hacks, especially the writer and systems teams.

  6. Lol shadowlands is the same like bfa even worse with torghast. Cant take wow community serious anymore saying shafowlands is great but bfa bad but they just same as i said.

  7. there's a few inherent problems with the story outside what you mentioned

    It's a complete lore changer. Now we have what happens to ALL SOULS IN THE UNIVERSE… and it's split into 6 different worlds so their afterlives are different? Like… seven layers of hell? The 'afterlives' are all kinds of shit too.

    And then there's the fact that EACH LAYER OF AFTERLIFE is just a tiny little island. Like the fuck is that

    And for fucks sake, why does every new place we go to have to do some sort of 'soul purity' thing as if they're the new true true bastions of purity. That narrative is drawn out EVERY EXPANSION and this one face fucks you with it not once, but 3 fucking times.

  8. The story was so cringe, it wasn’t even funny. It had the plot-depth of a Scooby-Doo episode, and it was so annoying to go through all the same process in every zone (he/she won’t talk to you, do X and Y first).

  9. and imagine you only talked about the story. not the game play. which on its self is either play only wow. or dont bother.. next I would like to pick up the community. Ilvl 195 rejecting M+2's cause either of the class. or Raid.IO. . . . I guess that is why the Majority of MMO players is now playing other mmos. since this one as others said its just another BFA (Did not play bfa so I cant judge this part, but as I know from my friends who are your old school wow players. they 2 said that BFA and Shadowlands is crappy.. you can even see it in metascore for crying out loud. 3.5 user score. )

  10. I have played wow on and off for years. I mostly played on a WoTLK private server, but came back to retail on Legion and really enjoyed that. Didn't play during the whole time of the expansion, but finished it and enjoyed it. Then came BFA… Wich I Just left after about a month or two. Now, I just refently bought shadowlands and am currently trying to gear up my fresh 60, still doing the covenant campaign. What I can say is I'm already starting to feel super disapointed. I'm finding the whole campaign and questing so damn boring, it feels like labour. I enjoyed the storylines on Legion, but these just feel awful idk why. And I haven't even got to experience the Legendary gear and mythics yet, but from what I can see I think I'll just hate it tbh… I'm hoping new patches change the expansion a bit cause it's really sad if I just feel like I spent money and time on this just to not feel rewarded, and I think Im probably not the only one who feels the same

  11. The campaign made me want to rip my eyes off because it was so boring. Like really, what a terrible design. Every single quest has you waiting for 3 minutes, all the escort missions. Truly a drag. I don't want to play a game to feel like I'm surrounded by slow ass morons. 0/10
    What the actual fuck blizzard? I've been playing mostly on private servers, and I can assure you they program better shit than blizzard. Most quests feel like made up private server shit. Most of the quests have you being followed by some kind of annoying npcs that will spam your screen with the same useless dialogues, and make you wait for an eternity to just take/give back a quest. It took me 14 hours of play time to get from 0 to 50, and 3 hours, 3 FUCKING HOURS to get to 52. What a fucking piece of shit of a game. People are getting paid to program that shit?!
