Putting this down on paper here. I’ve been quite fragmented on what I don’t like about the expansion even during the beta. But I think the #1 thing I dislike the most, is nothing was changed by the devs. They kept doing what they felt was best for everyone.
Garrisons, their Work Orders and Professions. There was a very, very lengthy thread titled ‘Professions are terrible’ on the beta forum. Blizzard not once responded to this thread. They ignored their very good reasons why this was a bad idea. In other words, they are all “We know what you need, you don’t!”
All of their bullshit classical politician speeches that they “care for their players” during BlizzCon. If they truly cared, then why couldn’t they had gone another approach? Did they just not have enough time to do so? Is this seriously Activision talking instead of Blizzard, making us think that Blizzard doesn’t care?
And if so, then why don’t Blizzard kick Activision out and go back to their own path? Because they like the money. …Look, I don’t know who’s to blame here, but a good amount of people are not happy.
Others are actually kissing Blizzard’s ass. They are the lore nerds, as I said in my previous post; the true Warcraft players.
Another reason why I dislike the expansion, isn’t Garrisons. I mean, Garrisons aren’t that bad. They’re new. They’re neat. The fact we can limitly customize them is…. well you got me on that.
But anyway, as I said, it’s not the Garrison. It’s the expansion itself. Some people have said how this is “rehashed content”. I too agree. It isn’t like a true expansion. An expansion, is new content. New zones. A higher level cap.
WoD? It’s Outland 35 years in the past, with a BS reason we’re going there. It’s the same zones, but with a new coat of paint. Yet during the development process, they had to cut off a few zones. Netherstorm doesn’t even exist, and Zangarmarsh is in the ocean(and is inaccessible to people that have no way to breath water).
Blizzard… I wanted NEW content. NEW zones. Not rehashed zones to give the teenage lore nerds fapping material! And also, like I had said in my beta blog, this is nothing but Blizzard offering 10th anniversary content.
I just wanted more newness, like the Spires of Arak. Things like this.
