Nowhere near the worst. WoD still gets that honour imo.
As for FF14. Decent game in it's own right but it's had it's own issue this expansion in the form of Eureka and everyone being absolutely livid at Square due them saying it would be new content and it's just mob/fate grinding.
Not to mention they just went carrot on stick mode with it by putting our relic behind it.
I really found it strange that most of the class-specific traits were trash, and almost all of the sims showed the same 4 generic traits. So nerfing those are good, I wanted more variety in my azerite traits. But I don't care about mythic or anything of the sort anymore, so I doubt it would matter for me.
Maybe not the worst but I think WoD at least lasted a little bit longer before we realized we were getting honeydicked. BfA didn't even release with folks already looking to 8.1 for further class improvements.
The most bumpy release to be sure. We'll see whether or not Blizzard dumps it like WoD halfway through release or can really turn it around in 8.1.
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Don't worry about the BfA apologists. I've played since Classic, this is the worst month of WoW I've ever experienced.
I repeat, I've played since Classic. I've played every expansion. I've never had a problem with any of them until BfA.
They tried too many "new" things. Azerite system is failing. Noble idea but it failed. Needs to be scrapped
Agree on that.
They just need to start communicating and better have something decent to show today. And by decent I mean 8.1.

In what area of where he quoted me am I being an "apologist" for BFA? I definitely don't think it's as bad as WoD. That would take a lot.
WoD dedicated a damn major patch to models that should have been ready, a camera and Twitter integration. I mean if BFA does the same then I'll deem it as bad as WoD. But let's see what 8.1 brings.
I've openly admitted to my issues with this expansion. I just think WoD is way worse imo.
It's so nice to pay to be beta-testers.
The Azerite system doesn't need to be scrapped...but definitely needs to be redesigned...it's not a horrible system...it's just, as it currently is, lazy....it's supposed to replace legendaries/set bonuses/artifact weapons and fails at it because it's supposed to replace too much.
As far as the worst first month of an expansion...the only reason it feels this way is because it seems like they learned nothing from Legion's first month. Legion was a great expansion as a whole, but the first month was such a drag for so many. I didn't enjoy legion until i got the right legendaries which took about a month into nighthold to finally get. So at least we don't have to worry about that this time.

My thought's exactly. guess im shelving my shaman until the redesign comes.
Second trait I've spent a fuckton of time farming that they nerf. I'm done with this shit. Fucking balance it before launch or buff other useless traits for the class. Idiots.
