Looks great.

The world quests have rare timers or unique methods to spawn them, offering unique rewards.

Grats on finally figuring a system Square did with FF11 years ago.

Grats on not moveing on already.

Hmm. While I do prefer this new Azerite system, I was hoping the new abilities would be class specific to add more flavour of the class - but this just looks like something everyone gets and will just be bland. I hope I'm wrong on that though!

I'm sure the content they've made is great, but you still have to grind a bunch to be able to actually do it, like the HoA or to get flying. So I'm still not interested. There's plenty of other MMOs out there that you can just jump into and enjoy the content they have to offer without a huge grind attached to being able to do it.

You mean kind of like how when I bought Heavensward for FF14 I had to finish all the post-2.0 content in order to meaningfully engage with the expansion and so never really got to? As much as I like having flying, it's not content, it's a reward for going through the content that's there. Just leveling from 110 to 120 is a grind you need to do in order to engage in a lot of the BfA content. That's different from almost no other game.

That new wheel mount, I need it. Mostly because..

[Allatar]

Mount equipment is pretty cool

Also, prevent daze. Finally.

You do realise that is already a thing in game? This is taking a crafted consumable item and making it a permanent feature of your mounts.

[Redroniksre]

Yes but most games know how to balance fun and grind.

WoW doesn't.

You know FFXIV has forums too right? You spend an unhealthy amount of time here.

[cuafpr]

hmm better than i expected, i'm hopeful

[Reinhart11]

Let me guess, those essences will be random drops, at the mercy of the RNG god and its totally random what secondary effects they will have.

Aside from that, i don't see why i should put in the effort to grind those Heart of Azerite levels if all of these abilities will go down the shitter with the end of BfA. I certainly won't grind out this crap if this whole system will be meaningless like the Artifact Weapon system.

[Sunaka]

Not only that, but there's a LOT of grinding in FF14 that isn't remotely fun, so acting like FF14 did it great and WoW just sucks at it is kind of baseless.

[Sanguinerd]

Looks promising really, I'm pretty excited.

Thought everyone had that guy on ignore by now.

[zetitup]

Lots of crying without testing it... Typical forums people who are never happy :P

[Redroniksre]

Yeah i love FFXIV too but he has a weird obsession over it. I think he may secretly still be in love with WoW

[MiiiMiii]

good stuff. big step in the right direction.

[Sunaka]

What does FF14 have to do with this? I said most games.

You mentioned FF11 and FF14 in this thread, your sig clearly indicates you think FF14 is da bomb, and you're not exactly being specific to what those other "most games" are. So yeah, FF14 is a fair assumption.

[Nerovar]

You sure you don't mean this one?

[Corroc]

From RPG standpoint everyone has the same kind of hearth. From gameplay perspective, it could just create even more rifts in the class power levels.

[Nebron]

That's pretty disappointing

After being conviced for a while that they have something pretty "HUGE" to offer, it's kind of a let down. I feel really sorry for them, as I know it required a lot of effort. The moment I have heard that the Horde and the Alliance will need to help some reputation guys the very moment we appear in Nazjatar, it felt like an Argus scenario.

Legion gave WoW a different direction, and I wouldn't say it's a good one. Damn, what a disappointment.

[Lurker1]

Correct the grind is real there it's mainly because when you have one race who can be any job in it they had to find a way to slow people down over there its funny to me!

[Ezyah]

U guys are so negative it's crazy ...
