It makes sense, with Metzen back into the fold, they will wrap up this expansion to focus on the renewed vision they've been working on. It was a boon that the expansion itself made a lot of positive impact despite the smaller playerbase but I always thought that Dragonflight was used to test the water on new gameplay loops and design philosophy mostly. They have build up more interesting characters this time around, now it's just time to give them an interesting conflict to deal with.
Most expensive expansion yet with one less tier lmao.
I have loved DF the entire time but it's hard not to be disappointed by this - it seems clear that 10.2 will be the final raid tier/major content patch. This feels incredibly underwhelming. That we didn't get a raid tier/major content patch dedicated to the bronze dragonflight is literally a crime. Fyrakk as a final boss of the expansion feels wrong and uninspired. It does seem likely we will get a 10.2.5 and maybe 10.2.7 to address the red dragonflight, lingering story threads, and set up the next expansion, + a fated season likely, but that just feels bad.
I seriously cant phantom how is it even possible are some ppl really trying to tell that DF somehow has more content than even freaking SL. In SL we had - Torghast, Solo PVE endgame which way progressively expanded in each patch (Twisting Corridors, gauntlet, extra layers each patch, actually creative powers to get, a talent system to complete, seasonal achievements...)- SL dungeons actually being used in m+ AND superb seasonal affixes each season (yes even prideful) if the bar is set to the Thunder affix's level- Legacy Dungeon in m+ ALONGSIDE the normal keystone system aka Legion Timewalking Keystones (this was removed with DF and we are being forced fed those dungeons now and pretend that they are current)- Liveable WQ system (downgrade from BFA due the remove of the emissary system, but still nothing like DF's do a WQ, comeback next day level of idiocracy)- Better story or at very least much more immersive setting: While SL's story was outright tragicomic by 9.2 at least there is something to talk about, DF has none, 10.2 is the first patch that looks to have anything interesting to tell or showCompared to this what does DF offer? - Ton of timed world events, all of which are just overdesigned % kill and main boss kill scenarios... serious Korthia easily puts all of these to shame- Removed Timewalking keys and forced Timewalking dungeons instead of the DF dungeons, also with S3, 4 of the dungeons are from the removed legion m+ event, the same event which was farmed to death in 9.2.7 S4, right before DF dropped and the rest are legacy dungeons with barely any value added; Practically if you play m+ as your endgame, then there is no reason to return each season anymore because you will see almost nothing you haven't already...- 1 exteremly hateful season affix which was literally designed to make ppl hate this concept and then the entire system was removed, because apparently we prefer to bash our heads against numerically overscaled difficulties that causes common melee to become a mechanic unless you overgear them, than doing actual new mechanics- Over complicated gear system which STILL does not solve the main issue SL introduced: the reliance on the vault rng if you play m+- Exteremly inane and boring stories which could easily be told to a toddler as an evening tale without any further- Ah and profession updates which ended up chasing away common ppl from the profs as whole, basically SL's Legendary system on steroid with the exact same issues from crafing PoV, similar from buyer PoVIts a shame that we really have to talk about DF vs SL, when DF was supposed to be the reformed, happy devs blizzard, everything will be better blizzard.
says it is a drop from reknown 18 that is great to me if it doesnt cost 500k gold
Shoot, i was hoping for 10.3. Dragonflight has been great though, if the next expansion is like this one we're going to be in good shape.
Can someone help me understand. Dragonflight was the first patch I played in 11ish years, why does this mark the end of an expansion? These just look like an emerald dream themed draconic rune? What's so special about these runes?
imo, as long as the lvl 70 boost isnt on the store, i still have hope for 10.3
There more than likely be a season 4 in Dragonflight, since we aren't getting Battle for Azeroth timewalking in 10.2.
One entire year without new content and still 3+ years away from whatever Metzen is doing with WoW. It's over for real
A big fat nope! I guess if peeps have gold to burn there ya go.
