Was good launch for me on day 1 at least, didn't have any issues and it went live at midnight (11pm for me in England) levelled through to 60 with just 1 or 2 quest bugs which fixed themselves after abandoning them and re collecting. Stay up all night and through the day somehow, im very old don't know how i survived lol. Finished everything i could then around 1-2pm in the afternoon Tuesday the servers just died it was unplayable lag and then whole connections were just terrible. So for me day 1 was great but day 2 was awful, lets see what day 3 brings!

I'm learning how to tank for m+(BDK), I'd like to play with some EU TLers
|
I'm mostly done with my main for the week, did all mythic dungeons and got my 810 soul ash from Torghast. Time to level my 2 alts. So far so good, the dungeon themes feel a bit similar though. Mostly plague and/or vampire stuff.
|
Yeah tbh I could use another Tirna Scithe or so, the problem is one of the Bastion dungeons is basically a Maldraxxus dungeon lol
Overall though Im actually really liking this expansion, I just with conduits werent a thing because theyre too complicated for me to care about and the stupid little nodes fill up my damn bags.

dump the nodes in the conduit thingie

Good call! Sweet, sweet bag space

Kinda a lot of systems at once to start. Soul ash, phrygia, anima, renown, conduit, allegiance, soulbinds. But slowly, it starts to sort itself out. Not too bad of an expansion.
|
So how do you guys like expansion now after initial hype? How does it hold compared to BFA and other previous expansions? Worth a purchase?

its better than BFA, but anything is better than BFA

Way to early for an opinion beyond the initial hype imo but sofar its looking good. My biggest gripe with Legion was the AP grind (once the lego grind was fixed) and BfA was just more of the same but later crushed even more by system piled upon system. In addition to the garbage that was TF.
Sofar Shadowlands is looking a lot less grindy. I was 'done' with grinds 2 days after hitting 60 and finished up my dungeons this weekend. I enjoy being able to do other things, both in and out of game without feeling like there your falling behind.

For me what they did with new leveling system is best thing they did for the game in last 10 years, I am still amazed and surprised how well done they redesigned leveling.

Heh, we already forgot about WoD.

I agree a lot with Gor, too early to say for sure but initial signs are good.
The game does not feel like it demands your time due to no AP grind or better gear roll grind in BFA. Some stuff like emissaries (forget what they are named now, callings I think) are more flexible in that they are not solely tied to WQs.
Torghast is actually fun and interesting with a lot of repeat potential.
The Maw is easily the weakest part of the experience so far. However if is a zone made to be oppressive and by doing stuff there you unlock more abilities and items to help, some even for Torghast. I actually have a hard time putting a finger on why I dislike the zone as it overall reminds me of some of WoW's better content like Timeless Isle.
Overall I have a strong sense that there big potential with this expansion.
|
I think The Maw is too self contained, it needed to give a bit more gear imo.
Also, is it weird to anyone else that we get Anima from the Covenant zones, but like, they're going through Anima droughts and all of the anima producing souls are in The Maw, so we're kind of just moving anima between zones right? Shouldn't we be getting our anima via The Maw?
Not really important, but I enjoy pointless minor inconsistencies.
|
There certainly is an element of "where am I getting this Anima from and why am I 'wasting' it on a teleporting network" for sure.
Tho you and other champions throughout the covenants are bringing souls back from the Maw so I guess the drought is a little less bad now?

This is why for me so far it is very good expansion, their is stuff to do, but if u put the time in and play the game it doesn't take that long to do something on your main. We played very hard on launch and i was done with my main as of Thursday (Friday 4am lol) and since i was able to then watch football and chill while casually levelling and alt. Which brings me to the best thing about this expansion which is the alt levelling system, it is perfect just how the game should have been.

I remember playing BFA a couple of weeks after launch and while the new contintens were quite nice (I loved Drustvar!) I hated so much about this expansion because it felt like half of the promised content wasn't implemented into game for like 12 months or so.

I didn't play much in BFA but played a decent bit of WoD.
WoD was better. It had glaring issues with the Garrison and they dropped the ball not releasing enough content. It still did not have as many issues as BFA imo. Stuff like azerite, AP grind, and basically an infinite loot grind, as well as Warfronts and Islands being pretty bad after you had done them a handful of times.
|
From what I heard about WoD, people generally liked the content but there wasn't nearly enough of it while in BFA people just didn't like the content (and a lot of the classes).
