So its just 'the cave expansion' basically?

So this is it?..

we spend the entire expansion hanging out in a cave?
Delves? basically torghast…in a cave.

kinda sucks if you dont like caves. :frowning:

(although special mention to Hallowfall. Its so beautiful I feel like Im running around in an oil painting, its my cave exception!).

The caves look amazint tho, the zones are big and multilayered.

as I said Hallowfall is absolutely beautiful but this is still the expansion where any direction you fly you will eventually splat into a wall!

Been there, done that. :dracthyr_cry_animated:

I must say that I really like the zones and the quests as well. :dracthyr_a1:

I like caves, and hitting a wall isnt a problem, if you try to fly off the continents isles in the rest of the world you just die from fatigue instead. Atleast an actual wall makes sense

Literally. Logically you should be able to fly from Kalimdor to eastern kingdoms but I guess technical limitations or whatever so we have fatigue and eventually invisible walls. Here at least there’s a reason we can’t fly miles off the coast or what would be the coast. Honestly the way they’ve done it this time feels much more interesting then zaralek caverns.

I just hate caves, not only the claustrophobic feeling but also because unless your monitor is in total darkness you cant see what is going on!
Ive accepted that I have to play with a baseball cap on so I can see the screen but a couple of times Ive landed near a rare and barraged with no idea what on earth I was hitting!LOL

Something wrong with your monitor or ingame graphic settings. Adjust brightness and contrast better.

there is only 1 location that looks like generic cave, hallowfall might as well be on surface and azj kahet is an undeground city with big Naggarond/Commoragh/Menzoberranzan vibes

Uhm… yeah, basically. This is the cave expansion. 3 out of 4 zones are underground and almost all the dungeons and all the delves and raids are as well. :smiley:

It’s called The War WITHIN for a reason.

So if you don’t live caves I’m afraid you’re not going to enjoy yourself very much, though Blizzard has (in my opinion wrongly) tried to lessen the feeling of being underground.

However I will make an exception with Hallowfall. That concept is absolutely incredible. They need some engine work but the idea and the art is exquisite.

Hallowfall is far from looking like a cave. Even when you look up.

Some of them are just re-skins of the same cave from WoTLK in Borean Tundra with magnataurs.

I too hate caves, it’s dark and not fun in any way. The atmosphere is claustrophobic and just a big disappointment.

It’s not The War Without, now, is it?

*Cavern

A cave is a small thing. A Cavern is something very big.

Sounds more like YOU have problems setting up your video settings right…

Yea it feels a bit weird but also appropriate after dragon flight

Yeah not a fan of it either. And having to fly upwards every time you want to go to the main city on the surface. I hate that.
