Suramar City, the Utopian-Distopian jewel of the Broken Isles. Some say it’s the last of the High Elves who didn’t get turned into Naga. I say… if this is Blizzard’s way of “apologizing” to us for not giving us the promised quest hubs in WoD? I refuse your apology.
Now it’s not the fact it’s bad content. It’s..FRUSTRATING content!! You have to be sneaky. You have to continuously be on guard for people that can see your disguise, less the ENTIRE FUCKING CITY COMES AFTER YOUR ASS!!
At least it feels like it sometimes. I seriously wish I could wipe the city off the face of Azeroth!!! D:
Clearly, they took pointers from the Assassin’s Creed series (but gave it the WoW twist..making it three times more difficult). You’re given a disguise to be able to move around the city. But you have these disguise stealers patrolling around the city (including demons that can insta-remove it).
What makes it “three times more difficult” is these guys don’t have a circle of detection (unlike a typical stealth quest), giving you no clue how close you can get to them. Unlike the Assassin’s Creed series, there aren’t certain off limits areas. The entire city is off limits, constantly being patrolled by annoying fucks who can and will show up out of nowhere, giving you three seconds to get out of their detection range until you’re spotted.
If you’re revealed, you’re pretty much fucked up the ass. You got to also watch out for anyone with yellow names, for they will turn hostile if you’re spotted. And they have insane health pools. And if you see a lot of them and you’re revealed? I’d hate to be you.
But again, Suramar City isn’t bad content. It’s new. It’s fresh. The city itself is quite beautiful. But constantly having to make sure I don’t get spotted is VERY annoying.
I hope eventually to finally show them that the rest of Azeroth didn’t disband them in their time of need (and to be able to freely walk around the city). It will take a lot of work (and I pray some of it doesn’t mean going into a dungeon/raid), but I hope it pays off at the end. If not, then… well, this’ll be the last time I do this content. Thankfully there’s still World Quests to do.
