Shadowlands was good, until it wasn’t. What went wrong? Asmongold watches “The Problem With Shadowlands (What Makes Warcraft Lore Good?)” by Platinum WoW to find out how a WoW saver and a “WoW 2.0!” has turned into the worst expansion Blizzard has come up with. What once was the best selling point of WoW in Vanilla is now gone, and all we have is an awkward Jailer cinematic in Patch 9.2 Eternity’s End…

Shadowlands was trash, it is still trash, and it will be the worst expansion in every aspect until the end of time. God damn and i was thinking BfA was a disaster.
If Shadowlands was 100% new lore, people would have just dismissed it as another sub-par expansion.
The problem was Shadowlands dug up old lore, put it in a dress, have it dance on stage then strip; then was shot.
Sauron and Gandalf are both Maiar.
We still have Ion driving the boat while Danuser lets every buddy in his buddy system have their fanfiction. And the rest of us pay the price.
wow fan boy hype is how they all said "wow has never made 2 bad expansion in a row before":…lol.
not to mention letting players craft legendaries and set their own prices.
shadowlands was never good. stop crying about a dead game.
I miss BFA, always did.
Shadowlands have ruined wow for me completly i dont know if i can ever go back. I even played and liked battle for azeroth but this dissaster is just to much i think i stick too ff14 in the future =)
They keep using the same boring characters what happen to interesting characters like keal thas, Lor'themar Theron etc
Shadowlands was the expansion with the most potential, unfortunately they were more worried about titty milk
Gods Legion was so good
In the next expansion they should just make something that deletes entire shadowlands, like it never existed/we woke up from a dream, something like that.
BLIZZARD SHOULD REMOVE PANDARENS AND VULPERAS
a slower moving narrative than warcrafts?
Easy.
Warhammer.
Epic vids! Great to see how much this channel grew…. IOO
good vid. only about what he likes.
Compare how they did Illidan in Legion versus how they did Arthas in Shadowlands, enough said
Wow doesn't have to have long cutscenes like FFXIV to tell a badass story. I have been playing Warcraft games since the first one. In Warcraft II all you had is a quick story crawl and some amazing music to set the scene and, man, they were amazing stories of war and vengeance. It wasn't elaborate, but it told stories of betrayal, love, and fury. It's ok to tell simple stories, just tell GOOD stories.
I think Blizz just needs new writers, full stop. I love FFXIV, but not all of those writers are even good. The Nier storyline was terrible and boring. Writing is hard and you really need to find excellent talent. WoW's Suramar arc was amazingly written. What they need to do is have people rate the storylines, gather feedback, and then use THOSE writers for the main scenario.
I like how every1 is shitting on WoW but we still here talking about it non stop 🙂 I know deep down everyone wants to return to WoW, all it takes is for the devs to do the right thing and stop with BS systems everyone will flock right back over
That sword is actually shoved up the ass of a giant earthen titan. He will arise next xpac
Don't forget according to asmon WoD was worse than shadowlands….
Never thought i would say this but bfa was a lot more fun
After Warcraft 3 and the Frozen Throne I did not have questions about the fate of Illidan or Arthas. That was not a cliff hanger and if they never revisited those stories I would have been ok with it. Burning Crusade and Wrath did NOT have to exist. They did and they were awesome.
I love how he brings joy and laughter to all of us 8Fr
My old WoW guild (still running, though I don't play any more) had both a horde guild and an alliance guild with the same name on a connected realm. In Legion, both our horde and alliance guilds were running heroic antorus with full raiding rosters + backups in case of no shows, with only a small handful of players having characters on both sides. Both guild rosters were full, and absent players were pruned from the roster after 1 month of inactivity to allow for active players to join. Whenever we'd get both guilds in one spot at the same time, the servers would freak out and start phasing people to different layers to handle the stress.
Now they don't even have enough players to run raids on either faction, and are waiting for cross-faction play to come out in order to be able to raid again. All their raid leaders are long gone. BFA and shadowlands really did a number on the players.
i enjoyed listening to audiobooks with the WoW lore, but i couldn't care less when playing the game
Both BFA and Shadowlands were the weakest expansions specially in terms of lore, both of then were Sylvanas centred , coincidence I think not.
I can't take that guy seriously, he thinks retcons are cool
Emerald Nightmare had a great conclusion. You un-corrupted the dream.
Unironically though Anduin and Wrathion gay murdering Sylvanas would have been the best way to open the next expansion and I'm not accepting any other takes.
"Shadowlands story pulls together threads that started in warcraft 3" that line always makes me laugh 😂
N’zoth is inside Xal'atath.
