WoW 9.1 – As we are in Shadowlands 9.1 and leaks of a likely Shadowlands 9.1.5 come out, we ask ourselves: After 9.2, do we want to go any further? Is there even the time to fit in 2 more major patches before the normal Expansion Cycle of 2 years comes to a close? Would cramming in the 9.3 Patch mean extending the Expansion even further than the usual 2-Years-Long Expansions we’ve had in Legion and BFA?

Don’t forget to mention for those who play the game somewhat consistently since the patch has launched . Most of the major goals (raid,KSM,Gladiator rank,Taz Hardmode etc,) has a been done and accomplished . This patch has been empty with content with the remaining 20 renown being extreme filler
Honestly i don't think it matters. The same team who developed bfa is now developing sl, and that's why it is bad. With blizzards current mindset and team, nothing good will come out of it. Sure they can make the game tolerable after over 1 year iterating on its systems, but I won't be paying to play a beta expansion. Unless they manage to make a complete overhaul on how they develop wow, a new expansion won't make the game better. It will be another bad experience just like bfa and sl.
And at the moment, with FFXIV and new world around the corner, quitting wow enabled me to experience other games that are way better. I don't regret quitting and canceling my sub
Thank God, there is one WoW content creator that still talks about the actual game and not just complaining…
I hope that shadowlands takes around 3 years since we have a pandemic going on and they get enough time to develop the next expac right to get back to legion level of quality.
People get bored more often. Quicker. In the past, a content mini patch would be ok after 1 year. In the past new content would come in the form of a new game( warcraft 2tod & bdp). Now allcontent comes in the form of a DLC. Now people expect new content once a month. Kids these days.
I think the thing im most dissapointed is the story, it had sutch a potential with the Jailer and all returning characters like Alexandrios etc and everything feels wasted, oh and timegating story yeah well, also its crazy how every 2 months some spec is busted while some specs are dead
im soneone that has more fun with M= over the raid (in a bads guild) and honestly im nottoo stressed if we get a 9.3 or not
I absolutely loathe the shard system: More grinding, more rng.
Every single expansion the later patches are better. So no, I don't want them to try again and make another 8.0 or 9.0. I would rather have ANY X.2.5 or X.3!
lack of content killed overwatch, diablo, and wow. Like blizzard has more employees than most studios but still cant seem to keep up with indie games with releasing things. Imo every 3 months there shuld be something new, even if it's just a minor patch. Yearly expansion cycles might be good too.
This company burned so many bridges….. there is no coming back for me personally.
Why not the jailer destroys the world but somehow the players are transported to another world or the future or the past. Whatever. Then make a WoW 2.0. a world rebirth!
It doesn't matter if the next patch is 9.2 or 10.0. The core problem is not with the game. Its with blizzard. Until that dramatically changes, the numbers are meaningless.
Dude, imagine with me for a second. What if if SL didn’t have conduits, renown, shards. What if soulbinds and cov abilities were not locked to Covenants. What if Castle Nathria had tier sets and SLG wasn’t aids. Imagine if Torgast didn’t have the lego system tied to it, just xmog and mounts and titles. Imagine we got a new class, and for the first time since like WOD, each class got a new ability. What game would we be playing right now?
It’s not a mystery why wow sucks. It was better 10 years ago then it is today. It was simpler and that gave room for more complexity. The classes were all better at different points than they are today. Player power that was tied to gear has now been split up into a power system and collection system resembles shit that used to be in the game. (Legion weapon talents, talent trees, tier sets.)
It would take at least 2 patches to make Shadowlands the game people said it could have been in beta. Or rather, for them to fix what didn’t work in beta. Literally this same thing happened in BFA with Azerite Gear. They were closer s decade ago by doing less then they are with two wow teams and player power systems. It ruined wow more than anything else.
Give up and try one last time
Frontload 9.2 and end it a cycle early. Next expansion is basically the game, and partly Blizzard on the line imo. After all of the shit that has happened if they can't pull a good xpac out of their ass it's over. At this point, they absolutely need to listen to the players and what we want for the game. These devs have some issue with pride/hubris that they make these galaxy-brain level system designs that are actual garbage but still think they're good for the health of the game. I honestly think that as long as the WoW token exists, the game is dead. There is literally no point in playing when anyone can just buy anything in game for money. Nothing earned feels special anymore.
And then buy the next overprized expansion? No thanks.
I bought SL because I expected it to be better then WoD (the last xpac I've played). I for sure won't waste money on another expansion if they keep hammering out half finished products. Imagine if every second car you sell is disfunctional. Nobody would buy your sh*t. It's that simple.
Maybe if Blizzard finally fired all the women/diversity hires they could make a competent video game again.
Idk man I think its time we come together and make sure WoW goes under… status quo just too unplayable over time
The "wow is bad circlejerk" has gotten pretty annoying imo. If you don't like the game just stop playing. We all know you are coming back for the next patch anyway.
I want a 9.3!
