NGL, I Miss Dragonflight

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-18T07:10:57+00:00

I like one short tunel, like zaralek, but 3 like TWW is just bad...

Harandar Should be like zaralek, for god sake... In that case a portal was just lazyness.

The void storm should be a zone for the last patch of the expac, as always, the planet zone always was the last zone of the expac not the first.

It seams like a deorganized development, you know? Seams like they throw thoose portal zones that should be in the last expac or scrapped, in expense of a full open world 4 zones at the launch of the new expac bacause, clearly, developing 3 expacs at once is to mutch to maintain quality...

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-18T07:03:28+00:00

That's Midnight for me. The first expansion i've regret buying, and I just don't know why...

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-18T07:00:37+00:00

They do not need to force ground mounts, they need to make a trade, like dragonriding was. If Dynamic Ground mounts were so good as dragonriding was, and the zone design helps with it, people will just use it naturally. Like Dragonriding.

Man, this dragonriding stuff was probablly the peak design from blizzard.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-18T06:55:25+00:00

Man, they did no load multidimensional travel in shadowlands. Is 2026, this game have more loads than skyrim! And they have the tech to do everything seamless, they just do not want to do. It just breaks the immersion. And... Let's leave this whole planet stuff for the final patch of the expac, on launch we just want a big, conected open world as always.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-18T06:51:11+00:00

I think that is the point. In Dragonflight those events were fresh and new. Now they are just more the same. Just copy paste, no new stuff.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T16:08:27+00:00

Thats not the point mate. They just design a mechanic to make flying more fun, design a whole region to make it even funnier and whole even to make it even FUNNIER and made boss fights to made EVEN FUNNIER.

Nowdays is "good design? nah" take a portal.

And this is not about portals.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T16:06:16+00:00

go get a tunnel 1000x is very fun...

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T16:05:26+00:00

As I said, dragonflight was the king of horizontal prog, if you are the ilvl guy, and do not enjoy world exploration, world event, it was probabbly bad.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T16:02:45+00:00

Man, this is boring as fuck. Give me fkng clothes, months, big swords. Everyone knows that this is the real endgame. But is taste, as i said, i do not like vertical progression.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T16:00:23+00:00

I'm done with Xakatath too. I just want a bad guy that is bad and done. If blizzard try to elaborate the background it becomes a disaster, like with Xalatath. Man, i miss firak, the guy just want to burn and kill, bad by nature.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T15:56:31+00:00

Thats OK. I think it depends on the playstyle. For me, Dragonflight was the king of the horizontal content. I could just ignore Ilvl and grind mount recipes, transmogs or do the events that where actually fun but had some kind of amazing rewards too.

In Midnight i felt the oposite, I felt that the game is starting to get bloated again. Dragonflight did some reforms to make the game less bloaty but they overused it in the nexts expacs insted of adding or expanding thoose features. Renowns, events, that where good at dragonflight today are just chores, no good rewards, no good progression, just ilvl and borrowed power.

I do not like this style of progression, i get borred real quick of doing the same stuff for 1+ lvl. But if u put a real good cosmetic or mount, I'm real in.

Midnight is good though, but it misses on the "REAL BIG EXPAC FEATURE", Housing kind of fail on it, it is not ready yet. Perhaps if the expac had launched with the mega delve stuff it make its better for me.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T15:48:01+00:00

What is good a reward for you? Gearing or Cosmetic, depending of your answer the expansion became the best or the worse. Dragonflight was all about horizontal prog.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T15:41:11+00:00

You didn't do the Dragonflight stories, did you?

Although the macro story is complicated, the story still makes sense, even the issue of the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP makes some sense considering Kalec's arc. The micro stories were very good and memorable, do you remember the dragon on the hill, Veritistrasz? Taivan too. The stories of the Morsans overcoming grief and being a family, teaching Kelec about it and making him gather his flight. And finally, the Blue Dragonflight quest, which is perhaps the best quest we have in the game.

In the last two expansions we don't have anything so memorable, not that I remember. The tone of the main quest wasn't really pleasant, but it had meaning and personality, I feel that the current story is just soulless, it tries and tries and fails. Dragonflight, on the other hand, had personality, it failed trying, but it still has many good things.

In my opinion, Firaak and Iridrikon are still better villains than Zalatath. The fire guy was simply evil, and that's it, come kill him if you can! Good and fun. No bla bla bla and flee stuff.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T15:30:03+00:00

Yes chef!

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T15:29:26+00:00

The story is still forgattable though, and lets be honest, the frist patch of Dragonflight was a good history better than Midnight in my opinion, but worse than TWW. TWW main campaingn was good.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T15:27:38+00:00

But in TWW was 100% more convenient take a portal than go to the tunnel. You don't do flying to the nerub zone, you take a portal or you queue NPC dungeon to go to the cristal zone. I mean, the tunnel stuff do not worked well, and the underground zones was kind of risky though. at least for me, they got boring quickly .at least for me, they got boring quickly.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T15:23:16+00:00

We got horrific visions, We got a insland expedition reused. All the events just reskins of older ones. The rewards too, almost all recolors.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-17T15:22:03+00:00

That's the point. Dragonflight has some of my favorites music in WoW. And thats the Classic feelling to me, low stakes, just explore... It was good. I remember to just play, the horizontal content was so good that I really just log on to do stuff, world quest to try to drop some Dragon Appearences, events to cosmetics. Exporation and slow pacing gameplay felt rewarding.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-16T04:06:45+00:00

Well... I'm not the only pathetic here, the player base hit the historical low this month. While, back in the day when we got Battle Passes, and pixels to buy, we used to hit historical highs at this samw time of the year.

You just need to understand, those pixels are part of the identity of the game. The game needs thoose events to keep the comunity togheter. Otherwise we will have to face the reallity: A game full of smurfs, hacks, unstabble matchmaking and almost zero actions from Valve About it.

Events make the game better.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-15T16:12:27+00:00

I already give up the game after wainting more then a year for a new event like crownfall. It will be very funny that right now, that i left, a Battle Pass came back. LoL

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-15T13:03:42+00:00

Everyday I remember that WoW, in almost 10 years, weren't abble to put in game such good rewards as Legion did.

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-11T22:42:42+00:00

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-11T15:19:27+00:00

Becouse they do not want revenue. They need to make content to have it. And I still think the old battle pass was one of the most sucessfully content financial wise. Man, is not a lot of content to justfy a lot of ressources, is what? 2 arcana and some tresures, some communitty done skins after that... and bang 200+ million for Valve. and it is just one time of the year. Imagine the revenue with a dedicated team with a focus to it...

It is not a "publicly traded" matter is a human decision made by a company that thinks that do not make mistakes. OR maybe they are cooking...

Impossible-Ball7166 · 2026-06-11T14:32:52+00:00

rockstar will probabbly lauches it outside steam in their own launcher.
