Best: Focus on class identity and design (new abilities etc.)
Worst: No new class
Best: Focus on class identity and design (new abilities etc.)
Worst: No new class
Best: Hard to tell for now, need to see what they are talking about today.
Worst: Sylvanas being a major plot device in this way.

Why are people so upset about level squish? It's relative anyway, we get stat squishes every or two expansions.
Best:
Leveling both new expansion and new leveling experience.
Worst:
Sylvanes as a major part of story.
Best: No Tinker / no new class
Worst: The community and their unrealistic expectations.
Well, with the sudden change of rhetoric from Ion, one would expect the former, the team finally learning how to design games and how to keep people interested for more than 1 month.
A cynic in me, however, says that Ion pushed his little act too far for it to be honest. I mean, nobody calls his own work "shit" so blatantly. Furthermore, the team already had a few very good ideas which they managed to fuck up dearly because... Yeah, nobody knows why. Probably because they themselves did not come up with them, but just grabbed stuff from YouTubers and Twitch streamers...

That's a great strategy you have there... The customers hate us for Hong Kong shit, the other customers hate our games for N reasons, people have no faith in the team or the company anymore... Let's toy with them a bit!

Yes, yes. Anybody who disagrees with your opinion of the game is a crybaby and basically they should get a life etc right? How insecure in your own opinions are you, mate?
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough it seems.
Point is, Blizzard is in a rather shitty place as a company all things considered. The dev team is well aware of it, they are probably being reminded of it everyday by some ratty looking manager. Do you really believe that they are in position to toy with their customer base the way you described? Nah. There is nothing so laid back or cool to it. They are desperate and they need to build up a ton of hype. So they basically took the characters people are/were passionate about and put them in the game. Of course main writer waifus Sylvanas so she's still like... a Naruto-level villain.
Best: New customiastion options
Worst: Whole expansion
Best: new zones with long gone characters that we like
Worst: how Bolvar was wrecked without landing a single hit in the cinematic
Best is the level squish and player customization options.
Worst is yet more Banshee Queen and no new player races or allied races.
Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.
Sovereign
Mass Effect
Best: leveling revamp, class identity, potential ‘depruning’ of abilities, aesthetics, especially of the necrolords zone, the castle raid, the tower, the shattering of the helm of domination and the shattering of the veil in the cinematic
Worst: not sure yet, covenants could turn out well, could turn out shitty if they don’t implement it well. Also Bolvar getting his ass handed to him was a letdown, even though Sylvanas has been empowered by thousands of souls fed to the Maw

Community: "Fix your game before adding new features! Fix your classes before adding new ones! Give more character customization to existing races! Bring back legendaries without the RNG! Remove AP grind! Make leveling seem meaningful! Tone down gearing RNG!"
Blizzard: "Hey we literally adressed every single problem you ve had in the last 2 expansions and will continue to adress this based on your feedback"
Community: "WtF bLiZz WhErE iS mY nEcRoMaNcEr!!11!!! ShItTy ExPaNsIoN"
BEst : Cinematic
Worst : Everything else
The worst will be the covenant class abilities because everyone know what will happen
One covenant ability will be BIS for that spec or class and people will get kicked from raids or M+ groups for not having that . Then if there is no way to change covenant , they will stop playing that carachter and switch. And as soo as they do Blizzard will re balance the covenant talents again and the process starts all over. Its a giant fucking headache waiting to happen , It is the Legendaries all over again

Best: The art direction. Blizzard has a very talented creative team.
Worst: Everything else.
Me deciding which covenent to pick
it gave me an autocorrect spelling too, im a true normie who dosen't have time for that
Best: Alleged alt-friendliness and all that
Worst: Covenant abilities
We'll have to see what comes around with all their class changes, rng removal and alt-friendliness promises this time around as it's been the 500th time they promised us shit which they usually just don't deliver.
Covenant abilities seem horrible. It'll be an absolute balancing nightmare. Everyone who's somewhat competitive will be playing the same Covenant because there's just gonna be 1 that's clearly better than all the others. And then 6 months later they'll nerf that into the ground... but you can't swap them, because that's not thematic n shit - a stance on which they will backtrack 1 year later, at which point covenants are just gonna be completely whatever.
Best: Alt friendlyness.
Worst: Seems to be another xpac based on cost effective development (rehashing and old stuff in new packing). Mantra: „Invest lowest possible effort and get the most profit out of it“.
They didnt address anything yet, WTF you talking about . We have no idea if they fixed the classes, seems like they have done the pruning again and kept the ridiculous GCD changes. Anima is the new AP grind . And just because they sai dthey made leveling meaningful doesnt mean they have. All thats been said so far is they made it faster . And where did they say RNG was toned down?
