We knew about the armor, but the raids, optional bosses, events, the Ascended stuff, etc. Its all fantastic. Except for the Evoker squad shit, thats still super fkn gay. Im a bit annoyed that the anniversary stuff is being treated as a milestone 0.5 patch. But I'm hoping they'll do more stuff thats relevant to War Within along with it - even though it is a lot from the anniversary.
At this point though, I'm really looking for them to do a Road Map. It's interesting to me that everyone that started playing the expansion is still playing the expansion. So I agree that this is probably the most "WoW" an expansion has been in a while. Half the people I started Shadowlands with were gone after the first week, and people that bought late out of word of mouth, they didnt last past a week either. So I
Whatever they did to scale back the amount of versions for Mythic+ has ruined everything before that difficulty. But I wont at all be surprised that its still roughly the same gameplay. I have this feeling that the "dungeon crawl" experience is being done away with in favor of this high mobility, action oriented type of dungeon. Where Delves have been created to supplant that dungeon crawl experience and the two are now separated.
I dont think we'll see it in this this expansion, and probably not the next either. But I think Delves are one of the many iterations that they'll take while Mythic+ continues to decline in popularity, up until we finally see a different "mode" added to dungeons that makes Dungeons come full circle into the original Burning Crusade experience.
I'm not a fan of Raider.io shit and all the shit that comes with that whole atmosphere. When you're neck deep in that shit, it works fine and as it should. But God forbid you come in late and no one you know is playing the game with you. With that, I've been reaching out to people that are playing trying to set up a group of people to run them with.
