My impression was cautiously positive, which lasted until the first treasure chest despawned while trying to reach it with my Demonic Gateway. Yes, those kind of chests. Now it have become Korthia all over again, this time 2.0 with more blue and green.
My alts will get to open the waystone to Oribos, but that is about it for now.
Quite like the look of the zone so far, not a fan of the amount of puzzle-chests though.
edit; Now that I’m a bit further I absolutely hate those god damn light-square puzzles.
I like the music. Would rather be on Azeroth.
Awful so far. It looks better than Korthia but it plays even worse. Flying will help a lot though - it can’t come soon enough.
Positive , the zone looks good the music is good , but I’m not a fan of hunting chests and all sort of non-content .
Not enough frogs game dead gg
Love your new look 
Considering we can only access the first part of the content in Zereth Mortis, I’ll give only my first impressions, and will update this post accordingly.
Positives:
Visually the zone looks stunning, pleasant and relaxing.
Collecting treasures and killing rares feels rewarding in terms of loot they drop.
The “flight masters” are positioned well, making it easy to reach any part of the zone fast.
Negatives:
Mobs are far too densely packed, especially in the desert part of the zone. It’s extremely hard to move around without aggroing anything. On top of that, many of the mobs are elites. This is especially problematic regarding treasures, as it’s almost or even completely impossible to reach some treasure chests without aggroing at least one or two elite mobs.
Rare elites giving 10-15 reputation feels utterly unrewarding considering they’re basically mini-bosses.
The cypher system is a huge letdown. None of the upgrades feel exciting or meaningful whatsoever, nor do they have a serious impact on my gameplay in the open world.
After a month of playing in Zereth Mortis, I can safely say that it has extremely low replay value. All 3 World Quests and 3 Daily Quests can be done in 15 minutes, and after killing a couple of rares and colleting a few treasures (which you can do while doing the quests) there’s absolutely no point in doing the zone further for the day aside from grinding mobs for the mount/pet crafting currency.
It’s always fun at the start. What’ll really make or break it for me is how it feels a month into the patch.
Considering they’ve time gated a lot of stuff, I think you should be thinking in larger time frames. For example the set crafting won’t open until two months from now, and it will take you some time to craft a full set…
If the zone annoys me in a month already, the timegated stuff like sets will likely not change that.
If the zone is still fun after a month and I don’t mind going there, it’s fine.
If the zone bores me after a month, but I don’t really need to go there, that’s fine too.
If the zone gets old, but I’m still required to go there daily, that’s when it’ll piss me off. And I’m kinda afraid that this will be what’s happening. But we’ll have to wait and see.
The first impression isn’t too bad so far. But that doesn’t necessarily mean anything.
my impression i have not visited it yet
but i saw the 2h sword from lfr prototype pantheon and i thought
hm this will be the “jaithys” of this patch no doubt and i will farm for it when it releases
Good looking zone, but overall really boring to play. So far there is no fun/crazy stuff. Only buff I found so far gave me 1% strength… What’s even the point of that?
Where is all the cool things similar to what we had in Timeless Isle? Unless you are really into deciphering the secret language or jumping puzzles, this zone has nothing going for it except for the visuals, which is a shame.
Not sure about Zereth Mortis, as I was doing new Torghast and I must say it is extremely boring.
I would like it more if it had longer blade, currently it seems like its blade is way too short.
Overwhelmed, too complicated, need things explained like I am 5, gear is useless if you are above 235 and a downgrade just so you can use the Nazjatar like equip bonuses. The treasures are horribly annoyingly placed, the rares are difficult to get to and for some reason the weekly has a 16hr timer on it???
I’m doing this on one character and one character only.
Couldn’t agree more. Need degree in rocket science for every new patch.
done for the week after 2 hours, 9.2 officially starts next reset week me, when actual content releases.
Makes me sad. Feels liek single player game after playing classic.
Played about 20 minutes in new area… Same old boring bs from lazy devs… jumping thru overly complicated hoops for next to nothing.
