LOL invasion points

[Mister Cheese]

The mobs are not alien cause they are legion?
and the landscape is alien, i havwent seen those places on azeroth

Holy shit way to miss the point entirely. There's nothing alien about these environments. There's nothing to indicate that they are other planets. You just get ported there and get told to kill demons. That is it. You wouldn't know you're on another planet unless the game tells you that you were. A flat textured environment with reused assets a good environment does not make.

Maybe get put into ruins of a long dead civilization that the legion destroyed a long time ago? Maybe a desert planet with a different color pallet? Fuckin' nope. They just reuse the same assets and say "This is a different planet go kill Legion."

[FelPlague]

You haven't seen frozen landscapes? A grassland with some trees? Really?? Every environment I've seen could be some place on Azeroth.

And no, the mobs around aren't alien. There are no alien mobs fighting the Legion mobs we encounter, lying there dead, etc. But this is why I usually keep you on ignore - you spew nonsense at an amazing rate.

Sorry i have only seen the enviroments, and i know none of them were on azeroth.
but what mobs are they fighting there?

[Polybius]

"Haha, why did they add this thing you can't solo! the game needs more social interaction, not more!"

You what?

They're literally running out of ideas.

A while back, someone complains about lack of mounts. A month later, they complain that the new mounts (7.3) are time-consuming. Like... what the actual F*CK?

There is someone in this thread who made a thread complaining argus is on the broken isles map and not on the planets map. calling it immersion breaking, lore breaking, and gameplay breaking

[Razion]

They definitely don't feel as good as the Pre-Expansion Invasions. One benefit of the Pre-Expansion Invasions is that because they were up all the time, they were always populated and you had large enemies/bosses to fight constantly, whereas the current Invasion Points are more or less non-glorified World Quests.

[Etselion]

Like MoP scenarios?

[Trickname]

Don't worry! Once this upcoming patch isn't current content anymore we can say how amazing these invasions were and how much we want them again. People just don't realise how amazing current content is until there is new current content to incessantly moan about...I er mean have a well balanced argument as to why it doesn't measure up with their expectations.

[Khallid]

You can't solo it

Challenge accepted.

[Deleted]

I preffer these to just fighting Legion on black and green planets any day.

It's not like they are meant to be the main content...
Most probably something akin to current invasion scenarios.

[TheFirstOnes]

These other worlds have been amazing so far. The forest one alone looks like Canada for some reason. :O

You mean
Generic rock terrain at night, nope never seen that before
Followed by Firelands/Molten Front
Grizzly Hills
A screenshot that literally looks ripped from the Hour of Twilight version of Dragonblight
Shadowmoon valley from WoD, but with Nagrand floating islands
And finally "generic mushroom forest template that's been used on and off since BC"

Not exactly the point you wanted to get across I think.

[Requimortem]

Man, who thought THIS was a good idea? Basically take a dungeon, and imagine an antisocial version of it. You can't solo it, but its 3 players (down from 5), you don't group up, you just kinda run around unorganized and do whatever and get loot. Is this an april fool's joke? I can't imagine a worse design. The game needs more social interaction, not less.

Can't solo it? Haha. I've solo'd it multiple times on both my Warlock and Mage. The real issue with these Invasions is that they're intrusive and if you don't intend to do them but needed to do something else in that area, you're out of luck. It's obnoxious.

[RadmaKanow]

^ requesting more social interaction im Wow is.
~ Yoda.


1st - old school social interaction is long dead
2nd - WoW changed over the years, so the players
3rd - during Vanilla and BC (and WotLK to some extent) impact was put on leveling experience, lots of world activities required group effort
4th - with new expansions and level cap pushed past 80 impact was focused on end game more
5th - hence leveling process was made easier and faster so lower lvl characters could enjoy endgame content with the rest
6th - rise of MOBA games types and mobile gaming shifted whole industry towards shorter play times and instant gratification
7th - WoW community polarized: old farts that remember Vanilla, BC and WotLK grand times and Cata+
8th - development mistakes that lead to massive playerbase reduction, further development of mobile gaming lead to prime focus being put on end game raid content while leaving leveling easy and fast
9th - with easy and fast leveling social interaction aren't necessary
last but not least - social interactions are made by people. You OP included. Standing in a crowd and crying for more social interactions won;t do. You want more social interactions in WoW? Go and make them?

Or is it too difficult as it requires effort and you want someone else to do the hard job so you could tag along and enjoy?

Reading this post, I can't help but think I'm kinda happy that I'm not forced to "socialise" with a guy like you.

Some people

If they want to see black they just see black in a forest of light.

The zones seem pretty original to me. Maybe if you are stuck on this negative streek you should consider if wow is still a game you should be playing

[Charge me Doctor]

It's not needed so people don't do it. I could be the most social guy in the world but it doesn't really matter when the encounter doesn't require talking and people don't really like talking when it's not needed so at best you'll get silence in return.

And it's relevant to the case exactly how? Can't you just jump on random discord channel and socialize here? Then do these invasion points with people you found? You should find friends before you get into the instance, not after. Especially considering that you probably wouldn't even want to socialize with people you get from a random pool of people and opinions. And again, it's not relevant to the game itself.

I hardly considered "sheep moon" and "drink" every 2 minutes in chat as something social, everything social happens before you get into dungeon

It seems to me that you don't pay much attention to details in the game

The generic rock terran actuallty shares the same tileset as the bloody area in spires of arrak.
ok?
yep.
Uhh? no, not really.
ok?
and ok.
and notice how all but Grizzly hills and i guess "the ice area" are places that are NOT on azeroth? So alien enviroments, from toher planets

[klaps_05]

Aren't invasions just like scenarios from MoP. I mean we've already had them and they were pretty fun and not very time consuming to do as well.

They are. They stated post-MoP that scenarios werent that popular, but were a great way to tell specific storylines - e.g. intro leveling in Stormheim, class mounts, invasions, etc.

I am one of the few people that actually loved the MoP scenarios - they were so different and interactive. Yes, they were repetitive, but I enjoyed them nonetheless.

Aren't basically all Legion species, orcs, draenei, ogres, arakkoa, and a bunch of other things technically aliens aka not from Azeroth? Warcraft has had aliens from day 1.
