I’ll admit that my expectations were pretty high, because dragonflight was really damn good: DF story was immediately awesome, DF was incredibly immersive, a world worth exploring and captivating…

Lies and exaggeration

Right out the gate with TWW, Blizzard lying or over exaggerating about everything. They said we would get a bunch of new features, and we have none of them yet. We have half of them. They were supposed to add account-wide reputation, they gave us 10% of it, just for one expansion. This is the first expansion they’ve given us a new expansion feature, that they haven’t fully delivered on. So we don’t even have that. Transmog changes, again, not finished. We were supposed to have the ability to collect all transmog across all of our characters, there are certain parts of it that are still not done. They also said we would get exciting sky riding which is like dragon writing, it’s not the same thing. It’s honestly a little bit slower, there’s no areas in the sky where you can recharge your stamina for flying, so it ends up being annoying and frustrating to use, kind of a slog.

Early access is completely bullshit.

Having to pay for early access in a game that you’re paying $15 a month for, and you’re buying the DLC for 40 to $50, what the hell is that? That’s crazy! Early access in a game that you already paid to play to begin with? What? What sense does that make?

The content so far is horribly boring

The story is so mediocre, it does not feel like a true expansion like dragonflight did. This feels like another Shadowlands style boring fanfiction cookie cutter slog of content that is going to be completely uninteresting the entire time. When you are thrown into it it just doesn’t feel like you’re given anything worth caring about, it’s just here is this really silly mediocre story, have fun, good luck. Thanks for giving us money bye. But I’m only 6 hours into it. The writing is just really bad, there’s no hook. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was AI written or generated tbh

Class design is terrible

Just before launching TWW, they nerfed a lot of classes in a way that makes no sense at all. Incredibly stupid way. For example, cat druid was completely nerfed into the ground to the point where every single major source of information and guides for casual players on what to play doesn’t advise using cat dread for PVE at all. It’s listed as D tier. The absolute worst DPS in the entire game, yet again How is it always the bottom DPS? It’s literally unusable now!!

Plus, hero talents are stupid. Just plain stupid. Why did we need another set of talents, literally another talent tree? It makes no sense! They added a middle talent tree when we already had one on the left and one on the right. For nearly 15 years, this game had one talent tree going top to bottom. They added a second one, now we have a third one! What the hell is this?

    Can’t really feel any sympathy for you seeing how you willingly paid them more to be a beta tester for their so-called Early Access. Next time wait a month or three after their unfinished release for the most glaring issues to be fixed.
