Greetings,
Dragonflight.
In RL I am an engineer, as such we continously strive for but never achieve perfection, the continous identification and eradication of imperfections is what the job is in reality, I imagine this is the same for some of the blizzard staff. Dragonflight is as close to perfection for a WoW expansion as I could imagine, it is absolutly fantastic - well done.
Recently I have been blessed by becoming a father to 2 little boys and due to time constraints I had to uninstall and unsub from my favourite stress reducing hobby - WoW. Dragonflight has allowed me to dip my toe back in and I will explain how.
With limited time now, I only have a few hours to play, and when I say play I mean raiding & M+. Ive no interest in story, achievements or anything. Personally I like to push hard content as a team and try to overcome, for me this is where the enjoyment comes in and the troubles of everyday life melt away for a while. Previously this was not possible, for example in Shadowlands if I found 3 hours to log in would I of been able to jump in and do what I wanted?
No.
Id of been a mile behind in renown, conduits, legnedaries and whatever else. I would have had to spend all the time I had in grinding something I hated doing - torghast, islands, world quests and I would run out of time to actually do what I wanted. Hence I literally cannot play the game.
In Dragonflight, I can. I can log in, run a quick key or 2 and log out. No grinding, no systems I just do what I want and I can play again - thank you for this
This is the biggest thing for me and why I can re sub again and play a little, personally I think its fantastic.
Other things - the raid as usual is magnificent, the M+ systems as usual is fantastic and dragon riding is game changing - well done.
As for imperfections, we always find them but they are minute in comparison to being forced to grind some repetitve sole content for hours just to stay relevant. I do have a couple minor things just imo would be nice.
-
Service offerings in trade chat - I do like them they make the city feel alive, but they are excessive -maybe some rule to stop people copying and pasting and spamming. Like IDK if you copy paste the same thing 3 times in 10 mins you cant post for an hour or something.
-
M+ rating system, absolutly love this - I would love it even more if it were futher embellished. If you could click it and see amount of keys done, average deaths per key, etc etc.
In summary.
The changes made have enabled me to play the game I love the most again.
An amazing job done by all. WELL DONE
