Ok ive been lvling my monk from 1-50 through a mix of Pandaria/Wotlk.
Can i say all the freakin zones look gorgeous and unique? Each one brings a different aesthetic and feels amazing.The story is quite good actually and i kinda feel the need to discover whats going on next on the storyline.
I stepped into dungeons and oh boy everyone feels like actually a dungeon you know? Where u venture with ur fellow heroes inside and actually marvel at how beautiful or sinister they are.
Why the hell in shadowlands we have superbland dungeons/lore/zones? I mean how did this happen? Literally there is not a single beautiful dungeon in shadowlands with the feeling of an actual dungeon…the sense of exploration is dead and the feeling < ok , ive seen that before> is so god damn prevalent.
Even Oribos feels like a lazy attempt at a city hub.IT doesnt feel fantasy mmo at all.Go to ironforge once and tell me if u would prefer it 10000 times over Oribos.Each time i go into a dungeon or oribos in SL i feel like Gordon Ramsay is there saying OMG BLAND,BLAND,BLAAAAAAAAAND
What the hell you talking about?! Are you blind? WOD…zones are so awesome, BFA, legion, same. Shadowlands zones all are cool, even Maw even if it’s so annoying, looking awesome. Blizzard’s environment artists doing great job. But if you want talk how this all looking about utility in every day farming and travelling it’s a bit worse. But this problem exist in most WoW’s expansions.
Most of WoTlK zones it’s a horror travelling with ground mounts.
Everybody always cries about Activision without stopping to think that a team has dramatic changes over 20 years and the “old” Blizzard have simply moved on.
Dungeons are now more Esport that’s why they are like this.
Zones in shadowlands are not pretty at least for me i don’t like them cause doesn’t feel like wow to me
But it’s terrible to compare them to old zones cause shadowlads look like this becuase of LORE reasons
even ORIBOS is like that becuase of LORE
it’s not like blizzard thought that ooo dude we just put object that look like battery in the middle of nowhere
BFA zones and main hub for horde was waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than whole Ironforge cause it was actually city of ZANDALARI trolls
But the thing is that the world before Shadowlands was good.Even bfa had MARVELOUS zones.You could literally lose yourself in all that beautiful world.The art style of dungeons in bfa was outstanding and SUPERunique.like every expansion before that.WE even had 2 completely different city hubs which were gorgeous to sit in or roam around.Silly at it sounds i actually enjoyed bfa launch leveling.the zone questlines actually were good.now what do we get in shadowlands? bland zones,dungeons that we have seen before in different names and non existant storylines.
I can say a lot about tbc/wootlk/Mop etc which btw they were amazing.even cataclysm had amazing zones and unique dungeon aesthetics. Wod with all of its endgame draught really had good and unique dungeons and zones even if we have seen them before a bit in tbc.
Can we please get a decent patch with new dungeons that are UNIQUE and a good 2 zones? I dont see myself doing the same dungeons over and over which i find insanely bland.I dont even sit on my covenant sanctum anymore because guess what,bland.
If nothing else all the expansions had beautiful, unique zones. I think this is the first expansion where, in addition to a lot of nonsense, they managed to ruin even that part. The zones are too small and uninspiring, just like the story (even bfa had a better story until they ruined it). The only 2 zones that are ok for me are Maldraxxus and Maw. Maldraxxus somehow looks like wow unlike other zones, while Maw reminds me of Diablo. I thought the theme of the expansion was going to be pretty dark, kind of horror, until I saw this Disneyland.
Not really Ironforge was is and will ever be the best city in bfa i dabbled with my horde alt for awhile and the horde main hub was just a mess it was way worse than even Oribos especially without flying.
