Infinitum posted:Dragonflight redesigned all the core game systems of WoW off the back of 2 back-to-back dogshit grind-a-paloozas expansions in Battle for Azeroth & Shadowlands. I don't actually think endless treadmills in a game are necessarily a bad thing in a game where the gameplay is compelling and enjoyable, as it gives something to work on. Very contextual to specific gameplay though, and absolutely more often than not it's done poorly or just drive engagement rather than giving any kind of meaningful satisfaction or reward. But that doesn't apply to MMOs. I've yet to see compelling and good gameplay from a single one. I'm glad you enjoy it, even if it baffles me. Tried WoW way back at the beginning, wasn't for me, even changed significantly.

Kerrzhe posted:as i was going through the end of the leveling story and getting towards unlocking the endgame raids and stuff, at one point when i first logged in one day i was immediately shown a cutscene full of characters i had never met talking about things i had no idea of. it was a cutscene showing story progression from the most current raid, which i hadn't unlocked yet, and just confused the hell out of me. the game didn't care that i wasn't caught up, it showed that cutscene to everyone i assume. having come from several years of FF14 this was kind of a shock. the game was spoiling itself to me. there was another instance of confusing cutscenes involving the evoker/dracthyr starting area, which has some cool animatics as part of the story, but not all of them (they came out on youtube before the expansion launched, so i knew i was missing something) and that was confusing as hell too. Nah these are valid complaints. If there's one thing WoW sucks at is keeping older content relevant, and basically drags the playerbase as a whole along for the ride; regardless of where they're at in the playthrough. The upside of that is that you're always engaging with the latest relevant content, the downside is that returning players will oft times miss story beats as you've mentioned. FF14 is good with keeping story phases evergreen, and it's something I hope WoW will eventually do (But it's pretty doubtful) As for crafting? Yeah... you either got in early or you didn't. This was their first iteration of the new crafting system, so I'm hoping they take a bunch of lessons to apply it towards War Within. You shouldn't feel alone in your frustration wrt crafting, as the community pretty much shares them. They introduced companion AI for solo dungeon running at your own pace pretty recently. Maybe down the road they'll roll it out to raids as well. Evil Kit posted:But that doesn't apply to MMOs. I've yet to see compelling and good gameplay from a single one.

credburn posted:I always thought the panda expansion was the one that made everyone leave WoW?  the decline pretty clearly starts with the backhalf of cata and kinda goes unabated. beyond legion actually bringing some people back and a spike for later expac releases. it kicks in fully with mop but it feels not quite right to blame it since its largely just the negative momentum from cata. mop is also generally looked back on as a generally decent expansion, partly because its sandwiched between two terrible ones

credburn posted:I always thought the panda expansion was the one that made everyone leave WoW? I think what made people leave WoW is the same thing that made people quite other MMORPGs- the common world aspect is mostly a hindrance and almost every mp game has the progression that used to make wow more unique, there's still people left, but it's just not as unique as an experience as it used to be.

I forget the bbccode for quotes but homeless snail was like "jordan mechner died" My grandparents used the term "pizza pies" to describe pizzas because that's what they were called when they became popular in the USA. They grew up without electricity and got driver's licences before they required a test to get them. I feel old.
