I have BFA over SL so far in terms of flow.

BFA was jarring, but now in light of SL...what's jarring has been redefined.

I'm worried about not being able to form a connection to the SL world and story-- strong dislike the undead stuff.

The BFA heroes caught on faster.

Hopefully storylines in future patches find ways to de-emphasize the undead zones, even if we are required to be in them.

I do like how keeping up with my Leatherworking let me craft 151 gear for 8 slots by the time I was 60 basically. Need to figure out where to get the pattern for the Crafter's Mark 2 which can up item level of pieces to 168. Heroic 5 man's drop 171, not a bad way to fill out slots if needed.

Mark 2 is from Maw rep, that you may get enough of, in a month or two...

Heh, well fuck that then. That's mostly useless. But at least having the 151 stuff right when you cap is good.

I keep looking for an excuse to play this a month. Nobody here is providing it.

Got 60, was kinda put off that I had to finish the story before unlocking covenants, world quests, etc... and now that I have all that unlocked nothing that's being introduced really seems fun or interesting.

I'd already almost rather play an alt or something than do any of this max level stuff.

Running around Maw I feel like I'm 10 levels too low for the stuff beating on me there, presumably because of all the systems I need to grind to get my power up to what the tuned it around.

The Maw is rather underwhelming at first glance, and its annoying to get some of the quest items due to so many other people around. Haven't done too much in there yet. I do like Torghast, it has a lot of potential. The grind for Anima seems a bit too tedious at the moment, and you need so so much of it to open up stuff in your Sanctum.

Expansion is worth the box price in my opinion. Whether it has any longevity remains to be determined.

Haven't played anything past vanilla or classic, levelled a dh last week and bought sl. Been playing it most of my free time, so it's both fun and fresh enough to keep my attention

But

It's a single player game (so far, I haven't got a guild, maybe that would give me better group options and be a way to get raid ready)

Combat isn't an mmo feel, maybe more akin to Dark Souls type games (don't play it)

Seems stupid that they squished levels but not gear stats

Seems like every zone has it's own rep gain for items.

Dungeons lack the feel of classic dungeons, getting all the quest chains done and zoning in with 4-5 objectives for sweet rewards

There's no loot rolls on bosses, just random assignment

Questing is basically "walk 100m, kill X, interact with Y, loot 15 of Z"

Sanctum and Soulbind are definitely long-haul activities... but if you just want something to do for amusement and like the idea of a constant trickle of progress then its a decent sort of grind.

Like many have said, its an adjustment to keep that in mind. The whole idea of "i gotta do it all!" has been pulled back from required and its kind of nice.

i HATE the idea of time gating stuff, but i like the idea of slowly building up your sanctum and soulbinds... i know that seems completely incompatible but there you go

The beginning of any expansion the time gating is always a welcome sort of thing. You can play your main, and also level up and try out an alt or two, without that FOMO feeling of having to sacrifice progress on your main while you do so.

Then the first couple of weeks are gone, the new expansion feel wears off, and you find yourself with nothing interesting to do on any of those characters and are forced into the time gated, chore gameplay loops that plague retail WoW and you remember "Oh yea... this again."

Chromie time is such a great QOL improvment for levelling alts. Not having to do shit zones, and being able to pick the ones you like is really great.

Dropping this two faction bullshit would be nice. But, what's 1000x times worse than that is this fucking retarded tagging system. If opposite faction tags a mob, you can't get credit for it, oh, except for the occasional named/elite/rare, then it's ok, for reasons. Like, who thinks up this dumb shit? If you're playing Horde you probably don't even notice, but the group of friends I'm playing SL with are Alliance, and the ratio on my server is like 12-1. This will probably be the last expac I play unless they change this stupidity. Not like I play WoW that often anyway, but damn, this is so annoying.
