At bfa launch I farmed herbs, on my route there was a herb spawn on the coast of drustvar, that was inside a rock and unusable. I reported many times , had friends report it , I even reported it once in SL, to this day, years later it is still spawning inside that rock.
Look at this psy-op in here . People have been convinced that bugs and errors in the game after years are simply blizzard making the game better. It’s unreal. Like an abused wife or something , no no he only beat my face in because his macaroni was slightly below room temperature, he was right to do it. I love WoW too, but you are really all brainwashed.
The early game needs a lore unification. You can't have exile's reach, normal start in cataclysm age at best, dh starting in mardum then get streamlined towards legion while BFA questing starts to push you away from legion mid leveling and the dk starting from shadowlands prepatch all while the quest board in the capitals give out taanan jungle/legion quests and Chromie timelines. The world MUST be chronologically updated to the active expansion, everywhere, in exilre reach, in normal zones, during dk/dh starting campaign. You finish exile reach or start in the normal area and you should immediatelly get information about dragonflight now and have no quests or lore events from before. No more quillboars eupting from the cataclysm in mulgore, no more leper gnomes eccetera eccetera. No more teldrassil, deathknell, undercity and Sylvanas for NE and Forsaken (Seriously, deathknell starting cinematics and forsaken background are still based on WRATH OF THE LICH KING events!!!! they are pre-cata!). This is a problem. The plot of the game is not understandable.
McConnell: "(Ret Paladins) don't have any utility." Meanwhile Paladin: *has one of the largest utility pools next to Warlock and Shaman from just the base class alone.*
I personally think it's a good thing that professions aren't a thing new players have to worry about until they get to high levels, new characters can just focus on playing and leveling
new players mostly just quit the game anyways. Im mentoring a few of newbs around and that stuff they are confronted with as completly newbs is insane. I sit mostly there explaining for hours why and how stuff works. Many of those just outright quit bcs it doesnt makes any freaking sense and the game is overloaded with stuff that isnt explained in the game anywhere.
I loved professions back in vanilla. It was a part of your character's progression, it was something you could always do in-between, and it made the world more immersive. The only reason I can think of for your statement is too much stuff thrown at new players. I feel that's more of a problem than professions.
I mean I used to love leveling professions alongside leveling up to 60 in vanilla. Hitting a new milestone for blacksmithing and crafting my warrior a plate helmet was one of my favourite memories in the 20 odd years I've been gaming
biggest fail - Renown not being account wide, locking all profession recipes behind a huge grind wall for alts - professions hit a wall around 50/60 skill offering little to none recipes to level up without grinding renown healing went from quite relaxing to OMFG I get an heart attack, pop all CDs to heal through DOTs which are crazy then break your keyboard to save someone who went from 100% to 5% in one hit... its ok for some time, but some of the changes are being overly punishing to the players and being a healer now is masochism
i had no problem getting my professions past 60. Only got annoying between 90 - 100, and even then it wasnt that bad. You should have to get renown on alts, there is a reason that your alts get double rep when your main character gets level 10 and lvl 20
@@ic3t3ap3ach Not a lot is account wide because there aren't really any temporary systems to begin with. In order to play an alt, you basically just level up then start gearing. No covenants, leggos, conduits, torghast, flux, etc. You just start to pvp or pve for fun when you hit max.
Ret is actually strong damage wise. Only thing is that actually you have no other option than to play through consecration periodical damage which makes it imobile even more than it was. I mean at least make it that consecration follows you or a target.
I would of liked to see more profession plans be unlocked through drops or by specing. I really hate farming rep, and I don't know anyone who likes it. My gear was insanely impactful i skipped two expansions
@@DoffyDogg really doesn't though the valuable ones do come from drops. The ones behind rep are just consistent money. Also sucks that leveling professions it kind of hard cause you don't have anything you can make passed level 50. That isn't absurdly expensive
I mean, at this point every player character is functionally immortal. Spirit Healers are supposed to "evaluate whether the soul is ready to be dead", and seeing as how the player character is always resurrected after death it is not possible for us to actually die. Immortal is probably too strong of a word seeing as we can still take damage and our soul becomes untethered from our body if we take too much damage. Players technically have what is essentially an "unbound" life span where we don't age and always remain in our prime.
@@azurblueknights Immortality really just means that you don't die from old age. Predation/sickness/etc. can still kill you, but as long as age doesn't, you're immortal.
Easily the worst new thing has unfortunately been the crafting order system for professions. There are consistently zero orders on most servers for most professions. Turns out, when crafting something costs resources that only that profession can get, nobody can get the required material to submit a crafting order without being that profession, and at that point, why not just make it yourself?! You can get the materials on the auction house, sure, but then why not just buy the item on the auction house and cut out the middle man? Really unfortunate, because it looked like a cool idea at first, and I would love to be a crafter participating in fulfilling orders for players.
Perhaps it could get solved by removing requirement to have that profession to use that item and expanding crafting orders on dependency items like alloys and optional reagents. And it would also be good if they made crafting orders cross server/region. Its basically AH for crafters so it would make sense if it was merged with every server. More people and perhaps more chances to people actually use work orders. Put up one once and it was gone in less than 10 seconds because there was nothing else and im still not able to complete that weekly quest.
There is a broken treasure chest that has been spawning in the air in shadowmoon Valley since the EXPAC CAME OUT 😂 it still happens. Always makes me giggle tho
One of the reasons why I remain burned on this game to this very day was the crafting system of BFA asking me to scrap everything useful I found for the _chance_ to get a crafting reagent that I would need to craft gear that wasn't even competitive while ignoring the fact that I could just skip the grind, go work for money in real life, convert that money to gold, then spend it on carry runs for a fraction of the time and better rewards. The whole game has been a sham for so long that I struggle to even imagine a version of it that isn't. To the point where I unironically have no faith in DF. I'm not going to say that WoW is dead to me, but like Asmongold said there's no way they can turn the game around in 1 expac.
I think they should utilize the existing assets of Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms for a 10-60 MSQ for each race. Going through zones that pertain to them.
I think one of the worst thing they did is low level scaling... I came back at the end of Shadowlands, and leveling was just so bad, when you're level 10 or 15 you just one shot everything in a dungeon, level 30+ as a heal you can't heal anymore, and now in Dragonflight level 60+ is where you oneshot everything and 65 is where you drop.
@@ChinnuWoW the issue is most level 60's right now are ilvl 300 or high 290's but when you make a new character and level it up it won't be any where near that high maybe only around 200, so in order for normal dungeons to even be possible for those players is stat scaling with levels so 60's have to be stronger so the dungeons are even possible when you have low gear so of course when you have high gear on a low level character you will be super op, but tbh this is all a non issue as you will be dramatically stronger even in heroic gear at level 70 so who even cares.
@@billabong5366 Wrong. You're assuming my gear was shit. I was at about ilvl 300 and the other guys were a lot lower level and ilvl(I checked). The scaling invalidated my gear, making them more powerful. What the scaling did is brought my power down rather than bringing the power of the lower level guys up. I don't think there should be any scaling at all.
I think the new starting area and the chromie time improved leveling immensely. New players can't start on the old starting zones and they can only do BFA, so they get a streamlined, kinda modern leveling experience. They even tried to make professions work with the scaling gear stuff, but you level so fast that there is no point in doing anything with professions. I think however that after level 10 you should be able to start the new expansion. If you can get used to your evoker during 60-70, then you can do that with other classes as well.
evokers have a heavily streamlined teaching starting experince like the DH and baseline DK starting zones that shows you all your abilities and teaches you how to use them its completely different
It improved levelling exclusively for old players. The new player experience is genuinely awful and I've brought enough new players into the game since Chromie was implemented (like 8 people recruited since then). New players are locked out of 99.9% of the game. They're forced to level through BFA (now Shadowlands), and SHadowlands scaling is apparently quite bad for time walking. The Chromie experience also means that unless you're trying to 100% lore master stuff, there are clear choices on which expansions to level in because if you level anything pre-BFA, I hope you enjoy being poor as hell. New players will also be experiencing an MMO where they rarely see any players what-so-ever, and let's be frank: the pve experience while levelling and questing is a waste of time. None of it is challenging and none of it requires you to press more than 3 buttons. It's the least engaging part of the game and new players will not get *any* kind of social experience unless they were playing the game with friends, and their access to dungeons is *extremely* limited. At this point the way the game has been updated and changed makes it clear levelling is exclusively for wasting players time since the overwhelming majority of the game simply doesn't matter. New players also level so quickly that they're constantly undergeared while playing with players who are in full heirloom so they will always feel like they are underperforming.
0 rogue changes or fixes for 10.1 either, so I feel ya, McConnel. grappling hook is broke as hell right now. biggest fail to me is regarding alts. they should make all of the renown either account-wide - or your alts will share your main's renown or something. also dragonriding perks and upgrades - should be account-wide.
Dragon riding is alt-friendly. Just click the upgrades like you did on your main; you should have as many points on your alt as your main has to spend.

showing an 8 as tanks being busted lol I had a bear tank in a 13 pull whole room while i'm healing, and it was way cleaner then that we +2'd the chest.
I don't think there is scaling after lvl 70. At launch I couldn't kill the elites for Wrathion rep but now I'm 380+ I can pull a whole group of the elites with ease.
I dont think there is any scaling involved, i think that its actually the gear difference that is smaller than before, back in bfa and shadowlands you would just jump from 10 to 50 in a week, now everyone is pretty much progressing in a rate of 10 to 13 cuz the ilvl is not jumping that much anymore which i think is good, and i do feel my character getting stronger in the open world, and im using honor gear most of the time jnstead of my pve gear cuz im in warmode
I don’t know how OGs who have been playing WoW since forever feel about the main story of Dragonflight but from someone who doesn’t play a lot of MMOs and mainly sticks to single player experiences, im not done with it yet but it has been an absolute blast leveling through this expansion so far, like REALLY fun, I played shadowlands back when it first came out and I can safely say DF’s main story just blows sit out of the water. I love basically all of the characters, the dragonflying is REALLY fun, and the dragon isles are just so god damn beautiful. The dwarf quest where you sit with him at the top of the ruby life pools and listen to his story while looking out at the landscape literally had me tearing up. It’s one of the best MMO experiences I’ve ever had
I think that NOT locking things behind story requirements creates a separate issue. With Legion, coming to that expansion late, the second I hit max level I suddenly had the game throwing all the endgame and patch content at me and I had to frantically Google what order any of it went in. I wouldn't mind an option to skip the story lock requirements, but the way it is now should stay the default.
people are complaining about tanks not taking much damage, but now that higher keys are being done the healers are noticing how much damage the other members are taking in the DF dungeons and how there are just not enough kicks and stops to prevent it all.
What astounds me about a lot of critiques around these kinds of games is how far we've come and how little we appreciate it? I have been playing WOW for 17 years now and play to relax and enjoy my friends company and have enjoyed the evolution of the game. There have been a lot of periods where the game has really sucked and felt more like a job, and at this moment the game feels really fun for people who are not hard-core raiders. That being said, I am old, lol and I remember the first video game I played was PONG, which was three pieces of light on a black screen playing ping-pong. And then the next game that was somewhat interactive was Zork. After that Asteroids and Pac man. How far we've come is pretty mind-boggling. The idea that a software company can develop a game that can be literally played by millions of people around the world, and each and every person is doing something completely independent and unique is astounding. The narrative of the game and the functionality of the game have had difficulties over the years but let's try and remember, it's still a game! The fact that I can go online anywhere in the world and connect to my server and play with my friends and ride a dragon and do quests and dungeons and raids is extraordinary. There seems to be, at least for me I'm missing element of gratitude for the complexity of this technology and game play. I am incredibly grateful for all of the hard work that's gone in over the years by coders and graphic artists and designers and gameplay developers to provide something for me that allows me to relax after working or to hang out with my friends internationally. I'm not saying the game is perfect, but so what? I have enjoyed playing this game for the last 17 years and plan to continue enjoy playing it. I think this expansion is one of the best expansions I've ever played because it has a lot more options and opportunities for people who are not hard core Raiders and want to interact in the game and play at various levels of interaction. Yes, I acknowledge there are problems and issues, but that's the nature of development. I am incredibly grateful to all the people who work really long hours to create the artwork and the design and the storytelling and the game components that allow me to relax after a long day at work and hang out with my friends. It seems to me that should be a component of the discussion as well because otherwise it just feels really entitled and somewhat spoiled. I really like Asmongold and I like how he plays the game and the way he approaches it, but sometimes it feels a little one sided in the dialogue as it's always feeling a bit critical. I think it's important to remember how far gameplay has come for the community of people who enjoy this kind of thing and also appreciation for the people who worked so hard to create it. PS I am not talking about blizzard management and all the debacles that occurred with them, I'm talking about the working guys who busted their asses to make this game play viable for all of us to enjoy playing. It's not perfect but take a moment to appreciate the fact that it exists.
looks at my 278 gear as i enter dragon isles. look at pitiful 228 quest rewards. man these mobs go down so fast it's almost like they are scaled to someone 50 ilvl weaker then me. later when leveling. omg i am finally getting item upgrades wait why isn't every fight me just stomping mobs faces in? it's almost like their tooned to the item lvl the quests rewards are giving me.
I don´t know I did not feel a moment of getting weaker. My talen build was getting better and anything did die all quicker even more so when i was getting better gear from a dungeon.
funny enough, if you would compare damage meters of the specific players you would see that the actuall dps of one self is higher the higher the level of the character is, like the lvl 61 character deals 10k dps for himself but it looks like 30k for a lvl 70 character, and the other way around the lvl 70 deals 20k for himself but only deals 5k on the lvl 61s screen. it only appears in normal dungeon or maybe some random world quest, its such a non-issue i dont get why it would be a problem at all.
Nixxiom fails to mention how bad it feels to play healers though. Nerfing tanks is nerfing healers in the end, and healers currently have to deal with SO MUCH FUCKING BULLSHIT from all the unavoidable dps sniping aoe mechanics. It's fucking unfair that every single difficulty decision falls to the healers in the end.
true! they nerf tanks they nerf the group. Btw they nerfed the healer on the beta by 40% because mops hit 40% harder and we have 40% more life. so healing atm feels dog imo!
@@ic3t3ap3ach its funny because tanks with alot of self heal, heal themselfs a % of missing health oder % of damage taken. in which they end up having more hps than healers can even achieve
omg, yeah rogue's are good. But wtf you want from damage class? They can't tank, they can't heal... I assume they need to boost hunters as well since those 2 are the only limited classes where you can be only damager but nothing else..
I know it's popular to hate on Taliesin here, but I actually really like his idea to revamp the old content. Make the main story line of every expansion use that special exclamation mark icon like it does for all campaign quests now. Make an alternative for the raids like you have on Exile's Reach to be able to experience that story as well. This way there is an option to experience the full story of each expansion. Not like it is now that you kinda have to guess where the main story goes for the older expansions and you will not really experience the story of the follow up patches or the raids etc.
Me and my partner hit level 70 in the first zone. So we switched over to our alt to continue the story and was locked out, we had to start from the very beginning and even when we did finish the story we were still locked out on all our alts. Also we would automatically get directed to a quest half way through the end game story so we had absolutely no idea who the primal incarnates were. The story was crap… not to mention the dragons treated us like absolute scum after saving them multiple times.
Tanks definetly feels stronger but i think thats the point, tank is supposed to be strong and survive a lot. I've been playing prot warr since TBC and have to say it once again it feels good to play tank and worth it. If anyone wonders how he does do much dmg, there is a tons of targets which means a lot of dmg out and ton of rage in which in turn means infinite ignore pain, shield slam resets and shield block on almost all the time plus there are other defensives.. Other classes will have it similar. Where i as warrior was dying guardian druid didnt even got hit once.
From what I've seen, wow scaling is directly related to your level. Issue is that your gear doesn't level with you. (Which is a good issue in principle) The stat value to stat % ratio requires more stats for same % at higher levels. Meaning : gear that gives 200 haste gives 5% at lvl 60 but only 2% at lvl 70, so even if players are geared out to the max they can't compete against 30% vers and 25% haste lvl 60 builds.
McConnell is right. Ret has no utility anymore. The last time Ret had true DPS and utility was back in MoP. Ret really doesn't ever get any love. There is literally no difference in Ret playstyle for the last 4 expansions, lol.
Yeah I just felt like the crafting system fell a little short. No previous expansion content in it, no way of ordering a good chunk of the stuff you might want, and you have to have mats from the profession you're ordering from to order it which means it just got exponentially more expensive.
My biggest issue is that they don't give you a single chance to respec professions if you make a mistake... You either have to change profession or make a new character.
For FFXIV, it depends on what someone means by alt. A single character can play every job, so there is no pressing need to have an alt. Some people do it because they can't make up their mind about what their main is supposed to be for raiding, but that is it.
i agree with is the ore node problem Z coordinate mishaps with ore nodes has been a thing since the start of the game and in every expansion and the azure span lag that stopped me in my tracks and delayed me completing leveling/ questing by best part of a week. having to complete the story ONCE is perfectly acceptable to get end game gear tbh Mists required you to at least do 3 of the zones to get into vale and more to unlock your dailies, every expansion since has had this system becuase it is the only way to make sure that people dont complain about there being no reason for X (WOD required you to complete all the zones once, legion required a certain amount of rep which was jsut over that which doing all the quests in all the zones gave you, BFA required all the zone stories to be completed for the war campaign stuff and shadowlands required it and used it as a hears what abilities you can have choose ONE its a mmo RPG and they have actually written a great story OFC you feel weaker as you go through to the stronger zones tanks where always gonna get slapped and rebalancing is still happening crafting for old expansions is just that ITS FOR OLD EXPANSIONS early game does suck and thats why they put new players through exiles reach and then the most streamlined leveling possible for 1-60 i.e. BFA
I genuinely dont think that locking content behind the story is bad in any way. The story is pretty good tbh, the quests are nice, the zones are great, i was enjoying it. It all comes down to peoples attitude towards the game. If you want to rush it, and miss the story because of that, thats on you, not a problem of the game. Especially at the launch of the expansion, you have plenty of time to relax and work your way through everything. (At least if youre not competing for the race to world first, which 99.999% of players arent.) It took me like 15 hours to level my first character from 60 to 70. i had a good time, and still time to do whatever dungeons or quests i wanted to / had to do before the raid opens.
I still wish the Expand the Exiles Reach Story narrativ lvling for the Chromie Zones as Example you Pick Legion you start at lvl 10 get your artifact and quest the main story (shorten version) of every area from 10-40 then you get the endgame campain (shortent) as 40-60 so you play throu the Raids in a story based version (like the last dungeon of Exiles Reach) and unluck everything in that expansion and get a feel for what players had back then. sure it would have to be a rly compact way but could be done by kind of Storytelling mode so only the relavant stuff would be there This for Each expansion would be damn nice early game. plus as a little ease for the speedrunners or the "I just want it to be quick cuz its my 20th char" there would be a time Estemate per Expansion (eg Legion Full story 10-60 in around 8H or so) this could help alot also making questing feel right maybe given a small Group of like 4-5 players at any given time (ether other player or NPC´s) so you can also lvl as fast as a tank or dps when you play healer If you find any Spelling/gramma Mistakes you can keep them
damage for single target i would agree, they are pretty good in aoe, not as capped as other classes with all that damage fall off beyond 5 or 8 targets
I WHOLLY agree with the thing you said about mining and blacksmithing/skinning and leatherworking. I've actually wondered many times why it isn't like that already.
i don't have a problem with the main story questline if you only do the main story quest line you only hit lvl 68 so i don't see the problem here also the lvl is really fast, really we can't complain and you only have to do it once on a char to unlock it for the rest so ...
The guy complaining about tanks is exactly what I do with my BM hunter with a spirit pet. Only thing I can't kill myself are events that are effected by primal storms. I'm not even geared for heroic dungeons. Edit: this doesn't apply to instanced content.
02:27 .... dude what? Blessing of sac, freedom, protection, you can cleans toxins and wog. What is he talking, ret has a big pool of utility for the team, not so much for raid, but in pvp and m+ its good.
Honestly just being able to fly in the expansion in like a few hrs was the most rewarding thing, cause I could finally fucking fly in a new expansion without having to get the pathfinder achievement through annoying ass grinds. Already makes the expansion 10x better than the previous ones.
Understanding the difference between objective problems and subjective problems with the xpac is important. Most of nixxioms gripes were subjective to him. I personally enjoyed being forced to do the MSQ since my impatience is my own worst enemy. I was pleasantly surprised with the story. Previous xpacs had objective problems.
The biggest problem in Dragonflight is that people can earn millions of gold per day with crafting, especially in the early stage of the expansion. This will forever break the economy of retail WoW.
Only thing that annoys me as a player that came back is that the Ret Paladin is no longer the Fantasy of a Ret Paladin. Rogues heal more than i do. Rogues have more def cd's than i do. If it were up to me the maximum a Rogue would have as healing is spit on his wound and pour a bottle of whiskey over it. My Damage is fine compared to other classes i guess, my cc is not the greatest, the Hammer is useful but compared to others, eh. I'd not have an issue with that if i'd be able to heal myself properly to stay alive, but no, those cute 30k heals won't matter too much in terms of survivability. Bubble is gone and it is pretty much over.
its so annoying that they're boosting priest 3% when theyre on par with shaman. Its like a giant fuck you to shammys not getting any % increases when they're boosting priest 3% and monk 5%
There's a lot of stuff that you can do again, that gives renown or transmog, but which isn't required to do again... And it's not obvious it's not required. There's also randomly a few things you need to do again, but these things aren't really random, they're related to professions and maybe zone events.
the "stuff locked behind msq" stuff is a misdirection. if you do only msq quests, you will finish around 67, not 70, so if you hit 70 in say azure span you've had to have done a lot of side content. quests, dungeons, etc. and as for the unlocking, it's literally only for the first character, once you have adventure mode unlocked you can literally do the engine of innovation questline at lvl 60.
>Dude complains the story of Shadowlands was shit >Devs try their best to write a better story-line >Now dude complains he has to play through the story to reach endgame, not even a month after the game has been launched There's no win situation for these guys, might as well just play Mobas 🤦
Oh wow I had no idea there was some content that was locked. Glad I've been doing every single quest before I even bother with gearing heroic dungeons then.
as one who plays nothing but a prot warrior, all i have to say is instead of nerfing tanks, how about we buff the healers, because the way i see it, the only issue here is the healer is not keeping the dps alive. The tank should be "tanky" and out live mechanics and be self sufficient, the healers job should not be keep tank alive but more keep dps alive.
One thing that attributes to the "feeling weaker" as you level is because you are playing characters that you got at end game in SL. They need to make that content for people with ilvl like... 200. Fresh, new people. So your gear was making an impact to start and then starts to be in-line with where it should be.
7:20 --- Question: are dungeons also locked behind story progression? Like, you cant enter the dungeon of a specific zone, unless you finished that zone or a particular quest chain? - That would actually be a massive improvement in my books... Still cant get over the fact that Drustvar, coolest zone in BfA, got totally spoiled by entering the Something-whatever-Manor dungeon. And again: WoW is the one game on the market that gets away with being "okay'ish" and "at least its not broken". You'd think gamer have better standards for how they spend their time and money...
i swear stupid tanks pulling aoe mops and mops that fixates dps/healer player and then the “good” tanks have to suffer because some idiot pulled the whole room. You know trash has mechanics too since legion 😂
This is the first xpac I’ve willingly tried to do anything to the end. Can’t remember when last I leveled a prof, willingly increased my ilvl and stepped into mythics for the first time. I didn’t get to max level and say to myself “well, this is shit”.
evoker falls off the longer a fight takes, thanks to the idiotic mastery, in m+ dungeons they are pretty great as they can burst trash down with ease and bossfights arent as long as raid bosses
@@PhantomMiria22 If you think Devastation evoker is the squishiest ranged dps with the shortest range it should be buffed in pve or having a mastery rework. Also in pvp need something. I have a full honor gear with a couple of conquest pieces and still i feel my dps is useless
Just learned I have to be Rated PVP combatant 1 to upgrade my 382 gear, which is 1/9. Screw that. So tired of Bizzard hiding rewards behind PVP. What's wrong with 10 man and 40 man battlegrounds? Now I need 2 on 2? I'm too old to beat up on young whipper snappers. Beginning to remember why I always end up hating this game early in an expansion.
i have an addon for finding nodes, . The addon tracks nodes based on where a node "may" spawn, showing community tracked spots. Thus random node generation.
No you can´t stomp gwyn in dark souls when you get to him, I still remember watching his letsplay of it and he grinded a lot and his viewers dropped infinite amounts of items for him because he was so bad.
23:17 glad to see I’m not the knot one that hasn’t unlocked Mechagnomes. It’s literally the only race I have yet to unlock. I think overall so far it’s a great expansion. My only complaint is the World Quests kind of suck. Their rewards suck and there aren’t a lot of them. Now I don’t know if I need more Renown with the different factions or what, but that is really the only part that I feel could be better…..
Agree. Exile's Reach is a big plus for new players. It is a more comprehensive primer to the game mechanics than the racial start zones. I've leveled lots of toons, at least one of every race and was much impressed with how well Exile's Reach covered the basics. The zone reflects what Blizzard has learned over the years about what new players need to know and provides the information in a varied and entertaining quest chain. It is even generous with bags. I would still recommend that a dedicated player do each of the racial start zones at least once. Those zones provide introduction to the lore of a race and their unique characteristics. That information proves useful even if your focus remains on only one toon.
Now you are talking about materials. They should make notes so that they don't spawn in the same place, but spawn in totally random places, so you can't bot
If you don't do side quests and only do the main quest chain you will ding 70 about 2 or 3 quests (and this is 2 or 3 quests that take like 1 min to finish or less to finish, like just "talk to this guy on my right") before the end of the main quest chain. Making his first "omg i get to 70 and then i need to finish the main story to open up stuff" argument fall to the ground completely. No one told you to do side quests.
Ret is not fine dude lmao. Radiant decree hitting for 246k, execution sentence for 100k, JV and judgement hitting for 80k nah they need to nerf the burst.
I do agree with the professions thing. Why not make it a one type of thing like for example Runescape. You have that level and you can level it anytime you want. That way when you get to max level you can start gathering/crafting relevant things, then it wouldn't be a waste of time to grab that copper ore while you are leveling a fresh character. Just integrate it all in one. Just an opinion but imo it's also not a huge deal. Meh, enjoying the expansion so far so no complaints.
The Tree trash in Algethar is the dubest example you could possibly give, Warr and DK die because they are to slow to get out of green circles, this results in fever targets that can be hit by the flies, that leads to the death of the 2 pallys, all while the dmg on the tank is laughably low, then the follow-updeaths are just dumb allone run ins who get taken out by the charge of the flies, it only shows a lack of knowledge on part of the meeles to get out of shit, lack of understanding what is happening for the follow-up deaths and ultimately 0 thought was put into what this actually shows by asmon, as expected from a warrior main
For me with many alts the only downside so far is that renown is not accountwide.. dont know why this is that way but yeah a small issue compared to the last few expansions.
Every previous expansion needs to be retuned as to experience the whole expansion… trim the fat, 10-60 shouldn’t take any longer but I want to say, hit the broken shore at 10 and ding 60 just as Argus dies and Sargeras gets vacuumed backed to the Seat. Update one storyline at a time if needed but it would make for a far superior experience IMO
well, leveling is just a huge time wall that serve next to no point 1) you are just doing the same thing over and over and its not different doing it from 20 to 30 than doing it from 50 to 60 much 2) there is actually no reason to care about ANYTHING within the time line you level 3) Sometimes the scaling and exp is just out of whack and nonsense 4) some time lines are ridiculous compare to some other, BC is one of the worst to level in since the quest are so far from each other 5) you dont actually gain or learn much while questing / lvling in old content
Lag is an issue for me in the big events obviously, but not a huge deal tbh. But where it really bugs me is in the dragon races. I mean i can’t do any better than Bronze on most advanced eleaces, not because i would lag the skill to do it, but because lag makes it impossible to fly precisely when you get that sucker up to ludicrous speed. It’s also not a franerate or PC issue, i checked!
i love he says it only takes 2 hours to do the campaign boy some of us have jobs and actually shower it took me a week casually i'm sure it can done realistically in a day or two but come on 2 hours asmon
At bfa launch I farmed herbs, on my route there was a herb spawn on the coast of drustvar, that was inside a rock and unusable. I reported many times , had friends report it , I even reported it once in SL, to this day, years later it is still spawning inside that rock.
its meant to bait bots that use noclip to farm nodes
Oh it’s a good reason to quit the game xd
Look at this psy-op in here . People have been convinced that bugs and errors in the game after years are simply blizzard making the game better. It’s unreal. Like an abused wife or something , no no he only beat my face in because his macaroni was slightly below room temperature, he was right to do it. I love WoW too, but you are really all brainwashed.
dude yes i remember this damn rock!! used to piss me off every single time 😂
I Fkn know the one you mean omg
The biggest problem is no earthwarder tank spec for Evoker
Than they would forced to make a demon hunter healer or face the wrath of the Chad's
frrrr, theyd make such cool tanks, or at least a melee spec
The early game needs a lore unification. You can't have exile's reach, normal start in cataclysm age at best, dh starting in mardum then get streamlined towards legion while BFA questing starts to push you away from legion mid leveling and the dk starting from shadowlands prepatch all while the quest board in the capitals give out taanan jungle/legion quests and Chromie timelines. The world MUST be chronologically updated to the active expansion, everywhere, in exilre reach, in normal zones, during dk/dh starting campaign. You finish exile reach or start in the normal area and you should immediatelly get information about dragonflight now and have no quests or lore events from before. No more quillboars eupting from the cataclysm in mulgore, no more leper gnomes eccetera eccetera. No more teldrassil, deathknell, undercity and Sylvanas for NE and Forsaken (Seriously, deathknell starting cinematics and forsaken background are still based on WRATH OF THE LICH KING events!!!! they are pre-cata!). This is a problem. The plot of the game is not understandable.

Meanwhile Paladin: *has one of the largest utility pools next to Warlock and Shaman from just the base class alone.*
I personally think it's a good thing that professions aren't a thing new players have to worry about until they get to high levels, new characters can just focus on playing and leveling
new players mostly just quit the game anyways. Im mentoring a few of newbs around and that stuff they are confronted with as completly newbs is insane. I sit mostly there explaining for hours why and how stuff works. Many of those just outright quit bcs it doesnt makes any freaking sense and the game is overloaded with stuff that isnt explained in the game anywhere.
I loved professions back in vanilla. It was a part of your character's progression, it was something you could always do in-between, and it made the world more immersive.
The only reason I can think of for your statement is too much stuff thrown at new players. I feel that's more of a problem than professions.
I mean I used to love leveling professions alongside leveling up to 60 in vanilla. Hitting a new milestone for blacksmithing and crafting my warrior a plate helmet was one of my favourite memories in the 20 odd years I've been gaming
@@JordanZ0710
I will always cherish my runed copper breastplate I made back in vanilla/start of tbc
biggest fail - Renown not being account wide, locking all profession recipes behind a huge grind wall for alts - professions hit a wall around 50/60 skill offering little to none recipes to level up without grinding renown
healing went from quite relaxing to OMFG I get an heart attack, pop all CDs to heal through DOTs which are crazy then break your keyboard to save someone who went from 100% to 5% in one hit...
its ok for some time, but some of the changes are being overly punishing to the players and being a healer now is masochism
i had no problem getting my professions past 60. Only got annoying between 90 - 100, and even then it wasnt that bad. You should have to get renown on alts, there is a reason that your alts get double rep when your main character gets level 10 and lvl 20
true. ion the liar said a lot of things are account wide. 😂 nothing really is lol only dragon stuff but the important part isn’t.
@@ic3t3ap3ach Not a lot is account wide because there aren't really any temporary systems to begin with. In order to play an alt, you basically just level up then start gearing. No covenants, leggos, conduits, torghast, flux, etc. You just start to pvp or pve for fun when you hit max.
8:22 100% agree, I wish they got rid of mining, herb and skinning and integrated them on the crafting professions.
The biggest thing for me is the lack of transmog for the Dracthyr. Won't level one because of that.
I hate not being able to choose a different transmog for visage form. What looks good on visage form may look like shit on dragon form.
Ret is actually strong damage wise. Only thing is that actually you have no other option than to play through consecration periodical damage which makes it imobile even more than it was. I mean at least make it that consecration follows you or a target.
I would of liked to see more profession plans be unlocked through drops or by specing. I really hate farming rep, and I don't know anyone who likes it. My gear was insanely impactful i skipped two expansions

I love rep grinds as long as there isn't too many 2 or 3 is fine gives a constant thing to aim for players who like it.
I like recipes behind being locked behind rep grinds, blocks morons from destroying the market.
@@DoffyDogg really doesn't though the valuable ones do come from drops. The ones behind rep are just consistent money. Also sucks that leveling professions it kind of hard cause you don't have anything you can make passed level 50. That isn't absurdly expensive
Biggest issue is really that the dragons call every player MORTAL despite a chunk of the races being immortal.
@@Zannmaster-2 at least Bolvar remembered me
I mean, at this point every player character is functionally immortal. Spirit Healers are supposed to "evaluate whether the soul is ready to be dead", and seeing as how the player character is always resurrected after death it is not possible for us to actually die. Immortal is probably too strong of a word seeing as we can still take damage and our soul becomes untethered from our body if we take too much damage. Players technically have what is essentially an "unbound" life span where we don't age and always remain in our prime.
@@azurblueknights Immortality really just means that you don't die from old age. Predation/sickness/etc. can still kill you, but as long as age doesn't, you're immortal.
Easily the worst new thing has unfortunately been the crafting order system for professions. There are consistently zero orders on most servers for most professions.
Turns out, when crafting something costs resources that only that profession can get, nobody can get the required material to submit a crafting order without being that profession, and at that point, why not just make it yourself?! You can get the materials on the auction house, sure, but then why not just buy the item on the auction house and cut out the middle man?
Really unfortunate, because it looked like a cool idea at first, and I would love to be a crafter participating in fulfilling orders for players.
I've checked EVERY time I play, multiple times during sessions and in over two weeks I've never seen a crafting order lol
@@aaronalbertson8670 yeah I had to use an alt to complete the dang quest to fulfill orders
Perhaps it could get solved by removing requirement to have that profession to use that item and expanding crafting orders on dependency items like alloys and optional reagents. And it would also be good if they made crafting orders cross server/region. Its basically AH for crafters so it would make sense if it was merged with every server. More people and perhaps more chances to people actually use work orders. Put up one once and it was gone in less than 10 seconds because there was nothing else and im still not able to complete that weekly quest.
There is a broken treasure chest that has been spawning in the air in shadowmoon Valley since the EXPAC CAME OUT 😂 it still happens. Always makes me giggle tho
One of the reasons why I remain burned on this game to this very day was the crafting system of BFA asking me to scrap everything useful I found for the _chance_ to get a crafting reagent that I would need to craft gear that wasn't even competitive while ignoring the fact that I could just skip the grind, go work for money in real life, convert that money to gold, then spend it on carry runs for a fraction of the time and better rewards. The whole game has been a sham for so long that I struggle to even imagine a version of it that isn't.
To the point where I unironically have no faith in DF. I'm not going to say that WoW is dead to me, but like Asmongold said there's no way they can turn the game around in 1 expac.
I think they should utilize the existing assets of Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms for a 10-60 MSQ for each race. Going through zones that pertain to them.
Or just have a summary in videofrom. Maybe paying platnium to do it bcs its also a bit funny and make it acessable ingame
I think one of the worst thing they did is low level scaling...
I came back at the end of Shadowlands, and leveling was just so bad, when you're level 10 or 15 you just one shot everything in a dungeon, level 30+ as a heal you can't heal anymore, and now in Dragonflight level 60+ is where you oneshot everything and 65 is where you drop.
Especially when you’re like level 68 in a normal dungeon and level 60s are doing a lot more damage than you. That feels like shit.
@@ChinnuWoW the issue is most level 60's right now are ilvl 300 or high 290's but when you make a new character and level it up it won't be any where near that high maybe only around 200, so in order for normal dungeons to even be possible for those players is stat scaling with levels so 60's have to be stronger so the dungeons are even possible when you have low gear so of course when you have high gear on a low level character you will be super op, but tbh this is all a non issue as you will be dramatically stronger even in heroic gear at level 70 so who even cares.
@@billabong5366 Well if you've earned that ilvl 300 gear then the dungeons should be easy for you.
@ChinnuWoW then you should understand why that lvl 60 is doing more dps than you and not feel shit about it
@@billabong5366 Wrong. You're assuming my gear was shit. I was at about ilvl 300 and the other guys were a lot lower level and ilvl(I checked). The scaling invalidated my gear, making them more powerful. What the scaling did is brought my power down rather than bringing the power of the lower level guys up. I don't think there should be any scaling at all.
I think the new starting area and the chromie time improved leveling immensely. New players can't start on the old starting zones and they can only do BFA, so they get a streamlined, kinda modern leveling experience. They even tried to make professions work with the scaling gear stuff, but you level so fast that there is no point in doing anything with professions. I think however that after level 10 you should be able to start the new expansion. If you can get used to your evoker during 60-70, then you can do that with other classes as well.
evokers have a heavily streamlined teaching starting experince like the DH and baseline DK starting zones that shows you all your abilities and teaches you how to use them its completely different
It improved levelling exclusively for old players. The new player experience is genuinely awful and I've brought enough new players into the game since Chromie was implemented (like 8 people recruited since then). New players are locked out of 99.9% of the game. They're forced to level through BFA (now Shadowlands), and SHadowlands scaling is apparently quite bad for time walking. The Chromie experience also means that unless you're trying to 100% lore master stuff, there are clear choices on which expansions to level in because if you level anything pre-BFA, I hope you enjoy being poor as hell. New players will also be experiencing an MMO where they rarely see any players what-so-ever, and let's be frank: the pve experience while levelling and questing is a waste of time. None of it is challenging and none of it requires you to press more than 3 buttons. It's the least engaging part of the game and new players will not get *any* kind of social experience unless they were playing the game with friends, and their access to dungeons is *extremely* limited.
At this point the way the game has been updated and changed makes it clear levelling is exclusively for wasting players time since the overwhelming majority of the game simply doesn't matter. New players also level so quickly that they're constantly undergeared while playing with players who are in full heirloom so they will always feel like they are underperforming.
A a sub rogue I agree with the “tanks are totally find” cause I always destroy them 😂
0 rogue changes or fixes for 10.1 either, so I feel ya, McConnel. grappling hook is broke as hell right now.
biggest fail to me is regarding alts. they should make all of the renown either account-wide - or your alts will share your main's renown or something. also dragonriding perks and upgrades - should be account-wide.

showing an 8 as tanks being busted lol I had a bear tank in a 13 pull whole room while i'm healing, and it was way cleaner then that we +2'd the chest.
I don't think there is scaling after lvl 70. At launch I couldn't kill the elites for Wrathion rep but now I'm 380+ I can pull a whole group of the elites with ease.
I dont think there is any scaling involved, i think that its actually the gear difference that is smaller than before, back in bfa and shadowlands you would just jump from 10 to 50 in a week, now everyone is pretty much progressing in a rate of 10 to 13 cuz the ilvl is not jumping that much anymore which i think is good, and i do feel my character getting stronger in the open world, and im using honor gear most of the time jnstead of my pve gear cuz im in warmode
i've never seen a floating ore and i've mined with about 10 alts in DF plus been around leveling to 70 on 2 chars
I don’t know how OGs who have been playing WoW since forever feel about the main story of Dragonflight but from someone who doesn’t play a lot of MMOs and mainly sticks to single player experiences, im not done with it yet but it has been an absolute blast leveling through this expansion so far, like REALLY fun, I played shadowlands back when it first came out and I can safely say DF’s main story just blows sit out of the water. I love basically all of the characters, the dragonflying is REALLY fun, and the dragon isles are just so god damn beautiful. The dwarf quest where you sit with him at the top of the ruby life pools and listen to his story while looking out at the landscape literally had me tearing up. It’s one of the best MMO experiences I’ve ever had
I think that NOT locking things behind story requirements creates a separate issue. With Legion, coming to that expansion late, the second I hit max level I suddenly had the game throwing all the endgame and patch content at me and I had to frantically Google what order any of it went in. I wouldn't mind an option to skip the story lock requirements, but the way it is now should stay the default.
best group 4 warr tanks and a dps heals.
people are complaining about tanks not taking much damage, but now that higher keys are being done the healers are noticing how much damage the other members are taking in the DF dungeons and how there are just not enough kicks and stops to prevent it all.
There are enough kicks and stops, people just need to not suck and use them
any ret pally who says they have no utility needs to open their spell book and put all those highlighted buttons on their bar
What astounds me about a lot of critiques around these kinds of games is how far we've come and how little we appreciate it? I have been playing WOW for 17 years now and play to relax and enjoy my friends company and have enjoyed the evolution of the game. There have been a lot of periods where the game has really sucked and felt more like a job, and at this moment the game feels really fun for people who are not hard-core raiders. That being said, I am old, lol and I remember the first video game I played was PONG, which was three pieces of light on a black screen playing ping-pong. And then the next game that was somewhat interactive was Zork. After that Asteroids and Pac man. How far we've come is pretty mind-boggling.
The idea that a software company can develop a game that can be literally played by millions of people around the world, and each and every person is doing something completely independent and unique is astounding. The narrative of the game and the functionality of the game have had difficulties over the years but let's try and remember, it's still a game! The fact that I can go online anywhere in the world and connect to my server and play with my friends and ride a dragon and do quests and dungeons and raids is extraordinary.
There seems to be, at least for me I'm missing element of gratitude for the complexity of this technology and game play. I am incredibly grateful for all of the hard work that's gone in over the years by coders and graphic artists and designers and gameplay developers to provide something for me that allows me to relax after working or to hang out with my friends internationally.
I'm not saying the game is perfect, but so what? I have enjoyed playing this game for the last 17 years and plan to continue enjoy playing it. I think this expansion is one of the best expansions I've ever played because it has a lot more options and opportunities for people who are not hard core Raiders and want to interact in the game and play at various levels of interaction.
Yes, I acknowledge there are problems and issues, but that's the nature of development. I am incredibly grateful to all the people who work really long hours to create the artwork and the design and the storytelling and the game components that allow me to relax after a long day at work and hang out with my friends. It seems to me that should be a component of the discussion as well because otherwise it just feels really entitled and somewhat spoiled.
I really like Asmongold and I like how he plays the game and the way he approaches it, but sometimes it feels a little one sided in the dialogue as it's always feeling a bit critical. I think it's important to remember how far gameplay has come for the community of people who enjoy this kind of thing and also appreciation for the people who worked so hard to create it.
PS I am not talking about blizzard management and all the debacles that occurred with them, I'm talking about the working guys who busted their asses to make this game play viable for all of us to enjoy playing. It's not perfect but take a moment to appreciate the fact that it exists.
looks at my 278 gear as i enter dragon isles. look at pitiful 228 quest rewards. man these mobs go down so fast it's almost like they are scaled to someone 50 ilvl weaker then me. later when leveling. omg i am finally getting item upgrades wait why isn't every fight me just stomping mobs faces in? it's almost like their tooned to the item lvl the quests rewards are giving me.
if you like the level scailing, then do Razorfen Kraul on a lvl 50 character with the dungeon finder tool
LOL seriously wiped 5 times in RFC at level 51 on Mistweaver. Whole group was under 20 but me and the Fire Worm boss just 2 shot erebody it was nuts!
I don´t know I did not feel a moment of getting weaker. My talen build was getting better and anything did die all quicker even more so when i was getting better gear from a dungeon.
funny enough, if you would compare damage meters of the specific players you would see that the actuall dps of one self is higher the higher the level of the character is, like the lvl 61 character deals 10k dps for himself but it looks like 30k for a lvl 70 character, and the other way around the lvl 70 deals 20k for himself but only deals 5k on the lvl 61s screen. it only appears in normal dungeon or maybe some random world quest, its such a non-issue i dont get why it would be a problem at all.
Nixxiom fails to mention how bad it feels to play healers though. Nerfing tanks is nerfing healers in the end, and healers currently have to deal with SO MUCH FUCKING BULLSHIT from all the unavoidable dps sniping aoe mechanics. It's fucking unfair that every single difficulty decision falls to the healers in the end.
true! they nerf tanks they nerf the group. Btw they nerfed the healer on the beta by 40% because mops hit 40% harder and we have 40% more life. so healing atm feels dog imo!
@@ic3t3ap3ach its funny because tanks with alot of self heal, heal themselfs a % of missing health oder % of damage taken. in which they end up having more hps than healers can even achieve
no utility? Blessing of freedom, blessing of sacrifice, blessing of protection, Auras/ Aura mastery and a battle rez how is that not utility
omg, yeah rogue's are good. But wtf you want from damage class? They can't tank, they can't heal... I assume they need to boost hunters as well since those 2 are the only limited classes where you can be only damager but nothing else..
warlock and mage are also only dps, dont know why you think rogue and hunter are the only 2
@@PhantomMiria22 that's true. well, they have to boost warlock and mage as well :D
The tank part! Omg my stomach hurts so much from laughing. 🤣🤣
I know it's popular to hate on Taliesin here, but I actually really like his idea to revamp the old content. Make the main story line of every expansion use that special exclamation mark icon like it does for all campaign quests now. Make an alternative for the raids like you have on Exile's Reach to be able to experience that story as well. This way there is an option to experience the full story of each expansion. Not like it is now that you kinda have to guess where the main story goes for the older expansions and you will not really experience the story of the follow up patches or the raids etc.
Me and my partner hit level 70 in the first zone. So we switched over to our alt to continue the story and was locked out, we had to start from the very beginning and even when we did finish the story we were still locked out on all our alts.
Also we would automatically get directed to a quest half way through the end game story so we had absolutely no idea who the primal incarnates were.
The story was crap… not to mention the dragons treated us like absolute scum after saving them multiple times.
Tanks definetly feels stronger but i think thats the point, tank is supposed to be strong and survive a lot. I've been playing prot warr since TBC and have to say it once again it feels good to play tank and worth it. If anyone wonders how he does do much dmg, there is a tons of targets which means a lot of dmg out and ton of rage in which in turn means infinite ignore pain, shield slam resets and shield block on almost all the time plus there are other defensives.. Other classes will have it similar. Where i as warrior was dying guardian druid didnt even got hit once.
Lag is definitely an issue in certain zones on Area 52.
From what I've seen, wow scaling is directly related to your level.
Issue is that your gear doesn't level with you. (Which is a good issue in principle)
The stat value to stat % ratio requires more stats for same % at higher levels.
Meaning : gear that gives 200 haste gives 5% at lvl 60 but only 2% at lvl 70, so even if players are geared out to the max they can't compete against 30% vers and 25% haste lvl 60 builds.
McConnell is right. Ret has no utility anymore. The last time Ret had true DPS and utility was back in MoP. Ret really doesn't ever get any love. There is literally no difference in Ret playstyle for the last 4 expansions, lol.
The floating ore nodes mess with bot pathing bc bots get stuck trying to get to them so it helps ppl identify them and report them more accurately.
Yeah I just felt like the crafting system fell a little short. No previous expansion content in it, no way of ordering a good chunk of the stuff you might want, and you have to have mats from the profession you're ordering from to order it which means it just got exponentially more expensive.
My biggest issue is that they don't give you a single chance to respec professions if you make a mistake... You either have to change profession or make a new character.
For FFXIV, it depends on what someone means by alt. A single character can play every job, so there is no pressing need to have an alt. Some people do it because they can't make up their mind about what their main is supposed to be for raiding, but that is it.
Making herbalism botany completely useless is the biggest fuck up for me. It's insane how they don't revert it, or maybe make the nerf not as bad.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 it is completely useless. Get it?
i agree with is the ore node problem Z coordinate mishaps with ore nodes has been a thing since the start of the game and in every expansion and the azure span lag that stopped me in my tracks and delayed me completing leveling/ questing by best part of a week.
having to complete the story ONCE is perfectly acceptable to get end game gear tbh Mists required you to at least do 3 of the zones to get into vale and more to unlock your dailies, every expansion since has had this system becuase it is the only way to make sure that people dont complain about there being no reason for X (WOD required you to complete all the zones once, legion required a certain amount of rep which was jsut over that which doing all the quests in all the zones gave you, BFA required all the zone stories to be completed for the war campaign stuff and shadowlands required it and used it as a hears what abilities you can have choose ONE its a mmo RPG and they have actually written a great story
OFC you feel weaker as you go through to the stronger zones
tanks where always gonna get slapped and rebalancing is still happening
crafting for old expansions is just that ITS FOR OLD EXPANSIONS
early game does suck and thats why they put new players through exiles reach and then the most streamlined leveling possible for 1-60 i.e. BFA
What's funny is blizzard would nerf a spec like enhancement shaman before getting all the rogue boys' panties in a bunch with nerfs they deserve more.
facts
yep they will nerf ww. enhance and rogues now but every for 5%. so in the end rogues will be still op op and the others just op lol
I genuinely dont think that locking content behind the story is bad in any way.
The story is pretty good tbh, the quests are nice, the zones are great, i was enjoying it. It all comes down to peoples attitude towards the game. If you want to rush it, and miss the story because of that, thats on you, not a problem of the game. Especially at the launch of the expansion, you have plenty of time to relax and work your way through everything. (At least if youre not competing for the race to world first, which 99.999% of players arent.)
It took me like 15 hours to level my first character from 60 to 70. i had a good time, and still time to do whatever dungeons or quests i wanted to / had to do before the raid opens.
I still wish the Expand the Exiles Reach Story narrativ lvling for the Chromie Zones as Example you Pick Legion you start at lvl 10 get your artifact and quest the main story (shorten version) of every area from 10-40 then you get the endgame campain (shortent) as 40-60 so you play throu the Raids in a story based version (like the last dungeon of Exiles Reach) and unluck everything in that expansion and get a feel for what players had back then. sure it would have to be a rly compact way but could be done by kind of Storytelling mode so only the relavant stuff would be there
This for Each expansion would be damn nice early game. plus as a little ease for the speedrunners or the "I just want it to be quick cuz its my 20th char" there would be a time Estemate per Expansion (eg Legion Full story 10-60 in around 8H or so) this could help alot also making questing feel right maybe given a small Group of like 4-5 players at any given time (ether other player or NPC´s) so you can also lvl as fast as a tank or dps when you play healer
If you find any Spelling/gramma Mistakes you can keep them
Nah, tanks are fine. If anything they should get a damage buff like asmon said.
more like a tanky buff except you play prot warri
damage for single target i would agree, they are pretty good in aoe, not as capped as other classes with all that damage fall off beyond 5 or 8 targets
I WHOLLY agree with the thing you said about mining and blacksmithing/skinning and leatherworking. I've actually wondered many times why it isn't like that already.
Gary in the background at the start, love it
i don't have a problem with the main story questline if you only do the main story quest line you only hit lvl 68 so i don't see the problem here also the lvl is really fast, really we can't complain and you only have to do it once on a char to unlock it for the rest so ...
The guy complaining about tanks is exactly what I do with my BM hunter with a spirit pet. Only thing I can't kill myself are events that are effected by primal storms. I'm not even geared for heroic dungeons. Edit: this doesn't apply to instanced content.
I've already stopped playing the expansion. I just can't have fun with WoW anymore, I don't know why.
02:27 .... dude what? Blessing of sac, freedom, protection, you can cleans toxins and wog. What is he talking, ret has a big pool of utility for the team, not so much for raid, but in pvp and m+ its good.
Honestly just being able to fly in the expansion in like a few hrs was the most rewarding thing, cause I could finally fucking fly in a new expansion without having to get the pathfinder achievement through annoying ass grinds. Already makes the expansion 10x better than the previous ones.
Understanding the difference between objective problems and subjective problems with the xpac is important. Most of nixxioms gripes were subjective to him. I personally enjoyed being forced to do the MSQ since my impatience is my own worst enemy. I was pleasantly surprised with the story. Previous xpacs had objective problems.
exactly!
Nixion is always complaining, should stick to machinimas, everytime he does a video now is to talk shit that he doesnt even know about
I like Nixxiom, but I wouldn't qualify him as any kind of WoW expert.
The guy complaining about floating ore nodes or bugged in mountains, I don't think he realizes it is bot traps.
The biggest problem in Dragonflight is that people can earn millions of gold per day with crafting, especially in the early stage of the expansion. This will forever break the economy of retail WoW.
Only thing that annoys me as a player that came back is that the Ret Paladin is no longer the Fantasy of a Ret Paladin. Rogues heal more than i do. Rogues have more def cd's than i do. If it were up to me the maximum a Rogue would have as healing is spit on his wound and pour a bottle of whiskey over it. My Damage is fine compared to other classes i guess, my cc is not the greatest, the Hammer is useful but compared to others, eh. I'd not have an issue with that if i'd be able to heal myself properly to stay alive, but no, those cute 30k heals won't matter too much in terms of survivability. Bubble is gone and it is pretty much over.
its so annoying that they're boosting priest 3% when theyre on par with shaman. Its like a giant fuck you to shammys not getting any % increases when they're boosting priest 3% and monk 5%
There's a lot of stuff that you can do again, that gives renown or transmog, but which isn't required to do again... And it's not obvious it's not required.
There's also randomly a few things you need to do again, but these things aren't really random, they're related to professions and maybe zone events.
the "stuff locked behind msq" stuff is a misdirection. if you do only msq quests, you will finish around 67, not 70, so if you hit 70 in say azure span you've had to have done a lot of side content. quests, dungeons, etc. and as for the unlocking, it's literally only for the first character, once you have adventure mode unlocked you can literally do the engine of innovation questline at lvl 60.
Not for me, I hit 70 in Azure span only doing MSQ and gathering and bonus objectives on the path.
tanks being good means ppl will want to play tanks i see no problems
>Dude complains the story of Shadowlands was shit
>Devs try their best to write a better story-line
>Now dude complains he has to play through the story to reach endgame, not even a month after the game has been launched
There's no win situation for these guys, might as well just play Mobas
🤦
Oh wow I had no idea there was some content that was locked. Glad I've been doing every single quest before I even bother with gearing heroic dungeons then.
as one who plays nothing but a prot warrior, all i have to say is instead of nerfing tanks, how about we buff the healers, because the way i see it, the only issue here is the healer is not keeping the dps alive. The tank should be "tanky" and out live mechanics and be self sufficient, the healers job should not be keep tank alive but more keep dps alive.
One thing that attributes to the "feeling weaker" as you level is because you are playing characters that you got at end game in SL. They need to make that content for people with ilvl like... 200. Fresh, new people. So your gear was making an impact to start and then starts to be in-line with where it should be.
TANKS ARE NOT BROKEN. WARRIORS ARE BROKEN.
the quests are locked behind renown just say it right?
7:20 --- Question: are dungeons also locked behind story progression? Like, you cant enter the dungeon of a specific zone, unless you finished that zone or a particular quest chain? - That would actually be a massive improvement in my books... Still cant get over the fact that Drustvar, coolest zone in BfA, got totally spoiled by entering the Something-whatever-Manor dungeon.
And again: WoW is the one game on the market that gets away with being "okay'ish" and "at least its not broken". You'd think gamer have better standards for how they spend their time and money...
I've been WoW free for six months now but I watched this anyway. I agree 100% that there's nothing wrong with tanks. Leave them alone!
i swear stupid tanks pulling aoe mops and mops that fixates dps/healer player and then the “good” tanks have to suffer because some idiot pulled the whole room. You know trash has mechanics too since legion 😂
This is the first xpac I’ve willingly tried to do anything to the end. Can’t remember when last I leveled a prof, willingly increased my ilvl and stepped into mythics for the first time.
I didn’t get to max level and say to myself “well, this is shit”.
Wow. I didn't realize devastation evoker were so low. Great succes for the first new caster spec ever
evoker falls off the longer a fight takes, thanks to the idiotic mastery, in m+ dungeons they are pretty great as they can burst trash down with ease and bossfights arent as long as raid bosses
@@PhantomMiria22 If you think Devastation evoker is the squishiest ranged dps with the shortest range it should be buffed in pve or having a mastery rework. Also in pvp need something. I have a full honor gear with a couple of conquest pieces and still i feel my dps is useless
I mean 25 yrds of range is a joke, my DK hits further.
Just learned I have to be Rated PVP combatant 1 to upgrade my 382 gear, which is 1/9. Screw that. So tired of Bizzard hiding rewards behind PVP. What's wrong with 10 man and 40 man battlegrounds? Now I need 2 on 2? I'm too old to beat up on young whipper snappers. Beginning to remember why I always end up hating this game early in an expansion.
So no one farmed rep for sons of hordir or didn’t complete the quests in storm peaks or ice crown?
i have an addon for finding nodes, . The addon tracks nodes based on where a node "may" spawn, showing community tracked spots. Thus random node generation.
No you can´t stomp gwyn in dark souls when you get to him, I still remember watching his letsplay of it and he grinded a lot and his viewers dropped infinite amounts of items for him because he was so bad.
23:17 glad to see I’m not the knot one that hasn’t unlocked Mechagnomes. It’s literally the only race I have yet to unlock.
I think overall so far it’s a great expansion. My only complaint is the World Quests kind of suck. Their rewards suck and there aren’t a lot of them. Now I don’t know if I need more Renown with the different factions or what, but that is really the only part that I feel could be better…..
"its ret bad?... garbage" is pretty much the only constant i ever heard on wow... along side "ret gagn".
the duality of man.
Agree. Exile's Reach is a big plus for new players. It is a more comprehensive primer to the game mechanics than the racial start zones. I've leveled lots of toons, at least one of every race and was much impressed with how well Exile's Reach covered the basics. The zone reflects what Blizzard has learned over the years about what new players need to know and provides the information in a varied and entertaining quest chain. It is even generous with bags. I would still recommend that a dedicated player do each of the racial start zones at least once. Those zones provide introduction to the lore of a race and their unique characteristics. That information proves useful even if your focus remains on only one toon.
Now you are talking about materials.
They should make notes so that they don't spawn in the same place, but spawn in totally random places, so you can't bot
Number 1 is just a very minor gripe -- it's not a fail.
If you don't do side quests and only do the main quest chain you will ding 70 about 2 or 3 quests (and this is 2 or 3 quests that take like 1 min to finish or less to finish, like just "talk to this guy on my right") before the end of the main quest chain. Making his first "omg i get to 70 and then i need to finish the main story to open up stuff" argument fall to the ground completely. No one told you to do side quests.
Ret is not fine dude lmao. Radiant decree hitting for 246k, execution sentence for 100k, JV and judgement hitting for 80k nah they need to nerf the burst.
I do agree with the professions thing. Why not make it a one type of thing like for example Runescape. You have that level and you can level it anytime you want. That way when you get to max level you can start gathering/crafting relevant things, then it wouldn't be a waste of time to grab that copper ore while you are leveling a fresh character. Just integrate it all in one. Just an opinion but imo it's also not a huge deal. Meh, enjoying the expansion so far so no complaints.
the only time I expected lag in Dragonflight is on a World Boss in Ohn Plains
I'm having so much fun with dragonflidght. Best expansion ever (after legion :D )
The Tree trash in Algethar is the dubest example you could possibly give, Warr and DK die because they are to slow to get out of green circles, this results in fever targets that can be hit by the flies, that leads to the death of the 2 pallys, all while the dmg on the tank is laughably low, then the follow-updeaths are just dumb allone run ins who get taken out by the charge of the flies, it only shows a lack of knowledge on part of the meeles to get out of shit, lack of understanding what is happening for the follow-up deaths and ultimately 0 thought was put into what this actually shows by asmon, as expected from a warrior main
For me with many alts the only downside so far is that renown is not accountwide.. dont know why this is that way but yeah a small issue compared to the last few expansions.
Every previous expansion needs to be retuned as to experience the whole expansion… trim the fat, 10-60 shouldn’t take any longer but I want to say, hit the broken shore at 10 and ding 60 just as Argus dies and Sargeras gets vacuumed backed to the Seat. Update one storyline at a time if needed but it would make for a far superior experience IMO
well, leveling is just a huge time wall that serve next to no point
1) you are just doing the same thing over and over and its not different doing it from 20 to 30 than doing it from 50 to 60 much
2) there is actually no reason to care about ANYTHING within the time line you level
3) Sometimes the scaling and exp is just out of whack and nonsense
4) some time lines are ridiculous compare to some other, BC is one of the worst to level in since the quest are so far from each other
5) you dont actually gain or learn much while questing / lvling in old content
Am I the only one getting the "it's corn" add with the sus corn girl at the end
Lag is an issue for me in the big events obviously, but not a huge deal tbh. But where it really bugs me is in the dragon races. I mean i can’t do any better than Bronze on most advanced eleaces, not because i would lag the skill to do it, but because lag makes it impossible to fly precisely when you get that sucker up to ludicrous speed. It’s also not a franerate or PC issue, i checked!
(Sorry for the bad english btw) The only thing i can complain its about the nerf of raw gold, i love farming in this games.
i love he says it only takes 2 hours to do the campaign boy some of us have jobs and actually shower it took me a week casually i'm sure it can done realistically in a day or two but come on 2 hours asmon
I mean i'm writing a thesis and work two jobs and i did it in 2 afternoons so it's pretty short
I think what slows me down is being a nerdy noob and reading the quests lol
Im returning player and I be playing the game hella high lol so im a bit slower and just enjoying being in the world
