Shadowlands , a filler expansion?

[SecretAgent]

As we saw , there is basically no much features

Will this be WoD like filler to legion ?

WoD has Garrisons as major feature
Shadowlands has Covenants ,
-which basically gives you 2 spells(We would have gotten 2 spells anyway because of new talent row/levels)
- Armor set and mount? Which could have been obtainable anywhere else , plus they remove tiers
-Covenants sanctums : 4 legion-order hall like , atleast in legion we got 12
-5 new zones instead of 6 , why ? BfA has 6 at launch(plus warfront zone and island expedition zone , Legion has 6 too (broken isles + DH zone + order halls) , also remember 7.3 had 3 new zones And its just a patch
-8 dungoens instead of more , really ? It seems that halls of valor/maw of souls would have been here if they plan ahead



As for tower of damned , it seems like a cheap rehash of island expeditions , except this time in dungoen and not islands , they change everytime like islands , they are replayabe too etc


So basically nothing really new features-wise

In BfA we got :
Warfronts - Islands -allied races
In legion :
Artifacts -order halls - Dh class -world quests -mythic+
In WoD
Garrisons
In MoP
Panda - Monk - new talent system - scenarios


While shadowlands
Covenants : Artifact and legion order halls combined and rehashed
Tower of damned : Rehashed island expeditions

Will this be a 2 patch expansion like WoD?

Do they want to release expansions more quickly to make more money and avoid 3 patches and go with 2 ?

I mean its not bad idea , becauses atm shadowlands feels lacking a major feature

Actually i think having a well designed small expansions could be a good idea


We can get an expansion every 1.5year , It dont need to be very big

4 zones - 1 major feature - 2 patches , 6 dungoens etc

This way we can give more characters their own expansion
Without having drought

Also blizzard would make more money this way from expansion purchases

Atm Shadowlands feels exactly a short expansion , a filler one , that would be ok if they release 10.0 quicker

[Kynario]

Oh no. Here we go again...

No, it's not. And you haven't even seen the Deep Dive panel yet.

Shut up mate, all your posts are bullsh*t.

[Teriz]

Yes it is a filler expansion. It's in place to finish Sylvanas' dumb storyline, and to introduce the level squish. That's it and that's all.

[Nagawithlegs]

How is it not incredibly obvious that BFA was the filler for Shadowlands while they fixed classes and systems?

The only feature that wasn't a minigame in BFA was cosmetics. The story only exists to introduce villain Sylvanas and Bwonsamdi while ending the war.

[Teekey]

Like I've said elsewhere, I'm excited for the direction they're taking the game, but not excited for the expansion itself.

The only marquee feature that actually interests me is the Tower of the Damned. Other than that, there's not really a killer feature to get excited about.

Most everything else just feels like patch-quality 'fixes' they should have been implementing into the game over the past few years and not billing as an expansion "feature" in 2020.

[Kumorii]

gives features everyone has begged for a long time...
"no features"

lul.

[Chromell]

To me, BfA was a filler expansion...

"Hey, we just saved the world from Sargeras, let's fight ourselves then."

Unless Sylvanas doesn't give two shits about Azeroth (which, apparently she doesn't).

[Archmage Alodi]

We don't need new systems every expansion, refining and improving what we already have is just fine.

[Sanguinerd]

There is no such thing as a filler expansion to begin with.. that entire concept is just some bullshit the community made up

[FAILoZOFF]

Entire game feels like filler/throw away game.

[Athredas]

I don't know if it's filler but it certainly looks like garbage.

Were islands, warfronts, invasions allied races anything more than chores?
Im all for them improving leveling, having a few ways to gear (good raids, m+, etc), a solo/group tower to play around in, and less bloated daily chores i feel I have to do without them actually being fun. Gotta do my islands every week, gotta do my warfront this rotation, gotta grind some ap, gotta hit this invasion, no fun just a bunch of chores.

Sometimes less is better.

You forgot one thing...we will probably revisit Arthas, because memba Arthas?

[Grimma82]

the story of WoW is getting too ridiculous. We defeated god like beings like Titans and Old Gods, now we gonna conquer death itself. What's next?
That's why my favourite time in WoW was MoP and older expansions.

[Kuruption]

According to the internet, every WoW expansion is a filler expansion.

[erifwodahs]

"WoW is dead""Worst Expansion" "Filler" "Worse than WoD" "Fail"... just buy the damn thing as you will do anyway and shut it,because you will play it anyway.

This, i miss "down to earth" type of RPG. WoW just went... places. Cosmic threats, gods, titans...

[Donald Hellscream]

From what i've been able gather over the years, any expansion that doesn't somehow have ties to the RTS games are deemed an asspull or a filler expansion.

It is bullshit but that seems to be the usually answer.
