The game has evolved into a vast vertical progression system, requiring 4-6 months of complete dedication to complete the core story, dungeons, raids, and Quality of Life collections from each expansion.

Same! I just recently started playing retail again a few days ago so I’ve been trying to catch up on the lore and I still don’t know whats going on lol

I stopped after Mists of Pandaria, got back in for a TINY bit during Legion and WoD, and now, I'm just like, wtf is this game? I started a Night Elf Rogue, and within a week of casual playing, I'm level 50. Everything is so fast paced now, enemies scale with you, it's awful and overwhelming and NOBODY COMMUNICATES. It's like everyone else seems like they're communicating with each other and I'm just on this island. The whole "discovery" part of the game seems to be lost as everyone seems to know what they're doing

15:30 - MoP did not bring us Mythic raids. It brought Flex raiding, which is what Normal is now. Siege of Orgrimmar Heroic was retroactively renamed Mythic when Warlords of Draenor launched. Basically it went like this: LFR -> LFR Flex -> Normal Normal -> Heroic Heroic -> Mythic

Perfect video thanks a lot! Used to play heavily back in the Wotlk days, returned at the end of Legion and have been thinking of checking it out again. I'm a casual player and love solo content and your video has made me want to get back in! Great video!

NEW SUBSCRIBER: I just started getting back into the game after a few years off of it, so I was browsing for videos to watch and get me back into the groove. Started with classic all the way through to the Battle for Azeroth. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I decided to subscribe as soon as I heard you say you would not lock anything behind a paywall. That's a mentality I want to support. Can't wait to dive into your other content, but I wanted to expressly state that I subscribed because of that statement alone. Everything else, the content, the narration, all that is added bonus lol. Thanks for a great intro back into my old game :)

As a returning player, this is the video I've been looking for. The only thing I see missing from your explainer is professions. Been playing DF for about a month to familiarise myself, and I still can't get my head around the profession changes since WotLK.

This was a very good video with a good overview of the current state of the game. I just purchased The War Within expansion thinking I would get back into the game, and I wished I had watched this first. I am bailing... the game has simply gotten too complicated with too many resources, upgrade paths, grades/levels, etc. I guess this appeals to people who want to play the game *all the time* and get bored without a ton of things to grind to keep them busy. For those of us that don't want to *live* World of Warcraft, the game just doesn't seem appealing to casual players anymore. The last expansion I seriously played was Shadowlands. I personally think Mythic and Mythic+ ruined the game.

@rokir_ 5 ай бұрын

@@kawfeebassie I'm gonna appeal to your will to play WoW here and say the casual lifestyle is possible. The War Within is adding Delves, which is a way to enjoy endgame progression like everyone else in short 10-15 minute segments, and you can easily walk away from them too. Combine that with new Story Mode (Solo) raids and dungeons scaling higher for Normal and Heroic queues, you can have fun here

Pretty handy guide. I left at the stwrt of shadowlands and the short blurb at the end helped give a very brief overview, though i completely forgot what renown worked like so that bit at the end of that segment went over my head haha. I will say i wish you had given just a short description on what story mode raiding is. When you were going over the new additions, i had no idea that was a thing, and from this video alone, i still dont really know anything about it besides its on a similar level to lfr.

Ah okay my apologies. Story Mode is a solo queueable version of the Raid that allows you to experience the Final Boss on your own in an easy setting

I returned 5 days ago and I'm quitting again. Because what I like in WOW is apparently something they don't want players to do anymore. Enjoying the game. I came back to a level 50ish main character which I was told to get to the Dragon Isles to experience the new content. I went from 50 to 70 in about 12 hours, leveling is insanely fast. Once I hit 70, i was told to get to that other zone. Upon arriving there I found myself all of the sudden really, really weak. I thought questing there would fix my problem, I was wrong. Seems Blizzard decided to completely removed gears from regular questing and put them only into Delves. I tried Delves, it's basically mini dungeon you can solo with an NPC. I don't like that. What I like is open world leveling. But it seems open world leveling won't work because it would not give me gears (only XP, money and reps) to upgrade my characters which until 70 was fine but now is completely weak and get killed by regular mobs in 5 seconds. So here I am 5 days after coming back quitting again because they are forcing a type of games (Delves) on me instead of letting me enjoy leveling in the world like I did from 1 to 70. I also tried to buy some 70+ gears in the AH but the price are ridiculous, I'm talking 50k for a Green weapons ? In what world this is normal ? Shame.

@joebwan0240 5 ай бұрын

Something I would like to see covered that has changed since I first played (in BC) is that now monsters seem to match your level wherever you go. This sort of upends the normal playstyle of leveling up for (innate) power and then going to back to slightly lower-level zones to easily gear up or "slum" when learning new classes. Now that monsters seem to match your level, gearing up seems to be the main power track and leveling without gearing up seems to make fighting more difficult. Or at least it seems. An expert analysis on this would be nice to hear. Oh, and maybe cover how this unusual scaling system works as I noticed I can fight a monster and it is at my level and another player can fight the same monster at the same time and the monster is at their level too! Both of us seem to do proportional damage according to our level. This breaks my mind from traditional level-based MMO content I'm used to.

@rokir_ 5 ай бұрын

I can't get into the engineering aspect of the scaling as that also cracks my mind, and we've actually been told on multiple occasions that it's the cause of numerous tuning issues, so I know it's not an easy thing to work with. That would've been something good to include for sure, but something interesting to note is that in your initial leveling journey in The War Within mobs are actually set at a specific level. However, once you go back through on Alts the scaling starts. It seems the scaling is to disincentive people out leveling content, and they prefer you to be on an even field with enemies at all times, thus making you more reliant on gear upgrades you get while leveling. That's just my two cents, but I don't know a ton about how it works honestly
