Housing the main draw see Garrisons in WoD, another filler story xpac see Gul dan running off lol.
The new open world content sounds lazy and awful… Prey system fill bar goodness…Then if ambushed you can’t kill it just wasting time until you can then find it and kill it proper so its pointless?
Needing to go back to Silvermoon every time you want to do one = time sink = no real content?
As you can tell I will sit Midnight out to last patch or pre patch of the next one, just not feeling this one.
What is this garrison hate,its 11 years old was actually quite ahead of its time and literally forced you to go outside unlike u wanted to rot in the default one.
Wanted decorations go do hours of archeology with quite some rng to keep you occupied,you got monuments/statues jukebox that also invited you to play not just current content but also old one,trading post with selfbuild auctionhouse you had to farm in ashran,nemesis stuff a harbor idk it had quite a lot of stuff that turned this from wellp to wow its so lively here.
I don’t think housing is as impactful in terms on their effort. I am a super casual so these kind of stuffs suit me well
WoD’s story becoming a filler was not the intention AFAIK, so I would stay optimistic on Midnight’s. I also don’t mind “filler” as long as they are well done
For open world I do have concern on that particular underground map (the tree place? Haranir’s homeland) and how it is connected to eversong region, not much else.
I also don’t mind revisiting there because BElf was the first race I actually like back in TBC, and Eversong will bring me some nostalgia I believe
In WOD we were fighting actual characters – Garrosh, Iron Horde warchiefs, Shadow Council etc. – someone fans hate or love.
In Midnight we will be fighting nameless stones of infinity cloud army, noone cares about
In WOD we had garrison, where you could not choose its location or racial outlook, in Midnight we have houses, where you can’t choose location, racial outlook AND its as useless as a hat on Pepe.
Sorry, Midnight is not WOD 2.0, its WOD 0.2. its worse in fact, its not even Legion.
Legion had class halls and suramar, even if everything else was a ctrl c+ ctrl v from other expansions.
Midnight does not seem to have anything original coming at all, except for Harandar, which is actually a TWW zone, there is allegedly even an inactive entrance to Harandar from Khaz Algar.
So yeah – you WISH – it was WOD or at least Legion, its actually worse.
I think i’ll call “Citation needed” on that, both parts, the “Nobody does them”, and “Because they’re not interesting”.
The raids were WoD’s focal point (Thank heavens the “Raid or die”-era is over by now), world content was pretty sparse until Tanaan jungle was released, so the WoD/Midnight comparison kind of face-plants into a pool of mud from the start…
