Drustvar is perhaps (in my opinion) one of the better zones I’ve quested through. The music and aesthetic was brilliant, and the questline wasn’t honestly that bad.
The Terror of Darkshore cinematic got me pretty hyped.
But that’s about it. The storyline hasn’t been the best this expansion imo.
I sat out Legion because the aesthetics and theme had absolutely no appeal to me. Have to admit, heading into the pink pyramid for the first time (as Horde, obviously) was pretty cool. The music and visuals made me think “heck yes, came back at the right time.” I felt… triumphant, and glad to be back.
…ok so a few things have popped up since then that made me question it, but I won’t say I hate BfA - I just disagree with some of the design choices and hope they will be rectified in 9.0.
I can’t say any moments have been “emotional” for me…
Some moments were cool though. Such as Jaina bringing the Kul Tiran fleet home, Mekkatorque detonating the bombs and sinking the Zandalari fleet, Rastakhan making the deal with Bwonsamdi and a few others…
Every time I open Weekly Mythic+ Chest I feel disappointment. That counts as emotional moment right?
When this expansion is finally over, it will be truly emotional.
The emotional moment hit me in the gut when, at level 114, I realised this would be the first expansion in world of Warcraft where I didn’t hit max level. I took one last look at my decimated friends list before I quit and unsubscribed.
This entire expansion has been a roller coaster of narrative facepalms and disappointment. Never have I been so thoroughly befuddled at the incompetency of Blizzard’s writers.
How do these hacks still have jobs? I’d wager most homeless people could do better and they need the job more.
The only emotions I’ve felt this expansion are disappointment and frustration.
The scene where Katherine finds Jaina struggling with her nightmares in Drustvar made me cry. Both voice actresses are absolutely sublime.
Overall lots of high drama in BfA, no other expansion is so charged. The Burning of Teldrassil and the Battle for Lordaeron were quite emotional for me as a lore geek. The Alliance and more particularly the Proudmoores story arc so far feels like a classic maritime adventure novel, one of my most favorite settings. All of Jaina’s epic moments from the bombastic arrival on the flying ship to the “is he the bomb this time” gave me the chills.
Zero.
Literally zero.
Ok, 2 things :
Otherwise, literally zero emotional moment that i will remember. 50% of time spend in Zuldazar afk, queuing in LFG and get declined all the time, ruine 100% of the experience and destroy everything.
Even quest, i don’t remember what they are. On Classic, when i do a quest, or an Elite quest (doesn’t exist in Retail anymore), i’m like “Oh god, i did that 15 year ago, i remember this cave is soooo hard to slay solo and i spend 2 hours to kill this mob !”.
I can sing it along in 4 languages. I guess it really got me ? And seeing and hearing it game had double the feels than the Youtube link did.
And when in nazjatar this started :
I was thinking : drums, drums… drums they never stop.
Burning of Teldrassil/Siege of Lordaeron really stung me as well as the attack on Astranaar. It felt really wrong to be doing such a thing to Astranaar and I don’t think I did it as quickly because I was reluctant.
To this day on my Alliance toons I avoid setting foot in Stormsong Valley because of the siege of Brennadam Village and to be honest the quests leading up to Corlain really disturbed me all the way throughout Drustvar. The entire zone kept me engaged by the weird curses on various places and the feeling of ‘what will the drust do next?’
Ooh, and I absolutely loved the moment when I first entered Mechagon City and the music started playing, it was that tingling feeling right there and then; WoW content at its best.
Since the title is emotional moments…
I was hyped by BfA opening cinematic. Hearing “FOR THE HORDE” reverbated in me. Then I’ve done Stormwind & Lordaeron Scenarios (I am skipping Darkshore cuz it had no meaning to me, no emotional reaction) and loved it.
Then set foot in Zulduzar, atop the piramid and the scale of the city blew my mind.
From that point it was just worse, main questlines were interesting and engaging, but as soon as I had to help brontosaurus to mate I just… Died a little inside. Then my hope returned by the Nazmir story and I really loved it - untill the end of story cinematic being glitched and totaly making me confused.
I also loved the progression from 110 to 120 and then through normal, heroic to mythic dungeons. Felt rewarding and I loved the changes made to Fury warrior. A real improvement!
Also, the change of moving artifact from weapon to neck re-vitalised my hope of obtaining new awesome weapon transmogs!
And it all ended with Uldir and first “catch-ups” making everything I done till this point pointless. Mind it it was barely after expansion launched.
From that point I was dissapointed, really dissapointed and only one thing kept me playing as I was rolling shaman - the promise of big changes to the class which never really were delivered. Sure the dps is fine rn, but it’s as clunky and un-fun as it was at launch.
I dropped the BfA in January, only resubbing from time to time to check new patch in hopes of improvement but it never did improve - it only gone for worse… And for 8.2 I didn’t even resub.
I do not understand how could I go from 100 to 0 so fast in BfA on emotional scale. But I did, and cannot wait for next xpac announcement together with some big changes to the direction WoW is gonna be taking from now on.
Cuz since WoD the current direction is not working.
The only thing good in this expansion was the music and art team, hats down to them, the rest just a mess, cant wait for next expansion hope it comes real soon.
For me the most emotional moment in BFA was when I realized that this expac is one of the worst so far. It got especially emotional when all my friends and guild quit 2-3 months into a new expac when we usually quit near the end after clearing all content.
Oof the emotions that BFA brought on were very intense. The emotions of playing a badly designed and developed game, lead by useless people like Ion.
While on one hand I’d say nothing really, it’s like I’m still waiting for something really big to happen but at this point I’m losing hopes, on the other hand there are 2 things:
Nazmir, reaching the temple of Bwonsamdi. I really loved that, it made me feel like I was doing something very shady, and I do love all the ritualistic and tribal theme with the blood and similar things going on. Reminded me of Oddworld in some way.
The rastakhan Vs zul cinematic, I feel like it’s really well done and it’s a rather involving battle scene. Really nice.
Bonus, 3. That moment when you run through Zandalari troops and discover that the Alliance fleet is just an illusion. It was really well done, felt like being in an illustration of some history book.
What makes me sad among all this is that I main Alliance.
All and all I actually enjoyed the storybeats that this expansion had. Also the music for most parts were great. I also loved the scenery of the Kul Tiras (Zandalar was bit meh). From artist point of view this expansion was real good. Also quests were fun.
The thing I did not care for was my class lacking options. I just wish warriors would get more skills back and not have some of them locked behind PVP.
Is “indifference” an emotion? 
Because that’s how I feel about the whole “war campaign” so far…
They just tried too much in my opinion, starting with the Teldrassil up to where we are now.
Not once it made me feel anything the previous expansions did, including WoD, as much as I hate how it turned out (“WE ARE FRRRRRRREE” ~the one who started all the 
)
Wouldn’t be as bad if they didn’t ruin so many established characters and facts.
Now to say something positive…
I absolutely loved Drustvar from the start to finish, including side quests.
The wedding with the little time travel really was a nice touch.
Not that other zones weren’t fun, but Drustvar is my absolute favorite 
I got really emotional when finally i could drop this boring action game to play a good mmorpg again.
As for me my heart was touched 1st time I seen Teldrassil burning, doing that pre-BFA quests. Than the 2nd time I felt so much was where Jaina arived in the fight for Lorderon, and 3rd time I got “hited” same way was the end of Aszhara, here eyes… B4 N’zoth takes her to the abbys her eyes… Damn I feel so sorry for her! 
BUT… Emotions that brings you new piece of azerite gear with crap traits (and that whole trait sistem) are rage and sadness and feel you got screwed.
… Why would they change whole class-themed sets with that… crap?.. That’s just awfull 
The burning of Teldrassil. It really hit home that against some types of evil, a single person is not enough, and will inevitably fail. The price for that will be lives. MANY lives. The fact that it was done not in a fantasy way, but in a way that happened in reality as well.
Then there was Brennadam. A town burning, civilians slaughtered. The one thing that hit closest to home, so to speak, was that little girl crying for their parent to wake up. The parent that was speared to a wall.
I’m just hoping for a catharsis at some point, but given what I’ve seen so far, I am not expecting one.
