- It's been eight years since I last played World of Warcraft with any level of attention. With the upcoming expansion of The War Within, my curiosity was piqued. I decided to return to WoW to see what magic it has left. I'm about to share what it was like to level up after a long hiatus and if it was enjoyable for me. There are a few things that haven't changed at all, some things that changed a lot, and some surprising finds.

They did a lot with Dragonflight that legitimately surprised me. Story-wise, it was...fine? Nothing groundbreaking, but they did not do our beloved dragons dirty at the very least. They said that Dragonflight was going to be like MoP in a lot of ways, and...they stuck to that word. This was an expansion that not only gave WoW a shot in the arm with things like dragon riding (now skyriding) but it has been a very interesting thing to watch how Blizzard has handled things with the playerbase, not the least of which, getting Ion off camera more. I know the guy is good at making encounters, but he was never good at being the face of the game.
They did such an amazing job with Dragonflight. The world is open, there were some amazing side quests. Not to mention how BEAUTIFUL everything is. Alts are easy to level, and they really did streamline a ton.
@@razormaw2228 Oh gosh. Yes. Dragonflight is so pretty! I was impressed with the design and the music.
edit: ignore below. I was wrong
Not Dragonflight
Battle for Azeroth
there is no Chromie Time for Dragonflight (yet)
@dragonriderabens9761 Ohhh. It shows up when you talk to Chromie. Granted I didn't click on it. So I figured it's available already. I just spammed through Legion, WoD and Wrath to get leveled. Thanks for the correction.
@@HeyItsJali I was basing this correction based on my previous experience after having deleted my account up until DF pre-patch, and it turns out it had changed
that is my bad
but BFA was the default at the time...and I didn't see DF in the footage you showed when talking to Chromie
still, should have doubled checked before saying anything
edited my original comment to say as much
@@dragonriderabens9761 Yeah. You are right. It was BFA up until this past Tuesday.
My current problem with wow, is more about blizzard and allegations of harassment, anti-union practices and others. I don't have seen blizzard doing anything substatial about dealing with its internal problems. And every measure I seen is more about hiding its skeletons.
Ohhh boy! That's a hot button topic, isn't it? I've got several thoughts on all of that, and it would be too long to type. A lot of how I feel about it is conflicting (personally). There is so much there to sift through from what happened to their current attempts, and it's certainly up to each person to make an individual decision on how they feel about it.
@@HeyItsJali Agree, I still enjoy watching warcraft lore from time to time. I am here.
But I am from Brasil, that has a strong culture of Sindicates/Unions and workers-rights laws. Don't take me wrong Brasil is not perfect, far from that, and I do agree this is not the kind of thing that individual choices will affect the situations.
But as a foreign individual action and opinion is all I can give about this situation.
People in US can vote and protest in favor of workers rights. Again not about individual action.
@iago314 I hear a part of that loud and clear. I come from a deep Appalachian heritage where they were all union workers, and many still are. So, I feel strongly about labor unions. The employees did unionize, by the way. It went through a few days ago.
@@HeyItsJali sounds fun. Right now I am flowing up a union of a public university, Brasil has some of those, being in favor of a corrupt governor. So it is not a clear cut subject.
No, Im not having fun at all.
As someone whos been playing that game since 8th grade when vanila was a thing, I have to say, Im heavily disappointed of how WoW has turned out: Holy priests never dying and whose mana never drop and they also slay, op warriors, op healer druids, underpowered rogues, uneven distributed class power... and Blizzard hiring based on minority criteria which that pretty much explains how the game has become so hard, complicated and without mature humor
