Shadowlands Developer Update Livestream - July 8th

[Adam Jensen]

If you thought BfA was terrible...SL will make BfA look as decent....

I'm sure this is based on your extensive playtime in SL.

[Ealyssa]

Don't you do the covenant stories while leveling?

Not on your main character, no. It's kinda like how suramar unlocked at max level in legion. But it a "campain" (aka quest chain) and not a new full questing zone.
They said alts will unlock covenants directly after you unlock it once, so you can level alongside it.

[Adam Jensen]

The absolute worst shit of an update I've ever seen

Fuck this company and fuck this fraud expansion.

Then just fucking quit. Jesus christ.

Mission tables and pet battles... Players who like these need to suffer Chinese water torture.

Why? Mission tables and pet battles are both 100% optional. I never felt a need to do either.

Real question is why are you feeding the trolls?

Those were obvious flamebaits

Because . . . I've had two cups of coffee and that still hasn't worked for me.

lol, fair enough

[Izzyfurious]

Blizz obviously have seen how much returning, completely new players to the game that has in the past months since Covid-19 happended, and they added those XP Rep / Level time buffs. That all those returning, completely new players have overblown doing the essence nonsense, the azerite, corruption systems bollocks nonsense and so on and so forth. So much now.

They have taken this at face value, that they see it as a positive thing going forward enough. They will take this as ‘‘Yes sir, mr fellow friends / devs. Our community have shown a shocking massive participation in our overblown of systems! let’s expand on this now in SL even more! BECAUSE WHY NOT?!’’ And that is WHY they now have decided SL endgame to be filled with systems.

I blame returning, complete new players to the game, gz. You lot are the reason SL will now turn into to be a grind marathon explosion of marathons for any type of player. Expansion.

Returning, complete new players to the game.

YOU ARE WHY THEY DID THIS.

YOU!

Wrong. You do a large amount of Covenant story shit while leveling and then there’s additional covenant story shit once you pick one at max level.

[TheRevenantHero]

This stream was such a huge waste of time. Shadowlands is continuing to look another WoD level disappointment. From aggressively terrible writing to game mechanics that just look boring, it's starting to look like WoW will have maybe one more expansion before ending. At least that's what I hope. Because the writing team doesn't know what a coherent plot is and the game mechanics they introduce just get more and more boring as expansions go on.

I get called a liar for not doing any mission other than any of the required ones for the legendary and campaign progression. I cannot think of a pet battle I have ever done either. But if it ain't about raiding it's wasted development, despite there is a much greater chance more players who engage in pet battles than raid.

The real question is if WoW closes what will you do with all your free time since you won't be able to complain anymore? Or will you still keep complaining even after it is dead and buried.

Trying to see how your points are any different? In Suramar the zone, you did a tone of story shit to open up Suramar the city. Then you had additional Suramar story shit once you opened it up.

He'll just move to another Blizzard game forum/fan forum and shitpost daily there.

[Edward Wu]

Then just fucking quit. Jesus christ.

I already did, you sperg. Subscription isn't required to post on MMO-C. I simply followed SL information until now, where it's confirmed this expansion is going to be more of the same.

I haven't played mission table this year, n I haven't done island expeditions since beginning of xpac

[Thmsbkr3]

For crying out loud I want to know something about heirlooms already! Give me some kind of info!

Said as if WoW was never grindy from the start. The grinds are far less time consuming these days.

[Malix Farwin]

No it is far different in many many ways, the borrowed power will stay each expansion which is shitty but they would really need to work at making a new permanent character progressions system and I doubt they had time to make one for Shadowlands. I do wish they would make one that we kept.

How will it be much different from BFA?

[Verdugo]

Spending 10 minutes daily shitting on a shitty game takes so much of my free time. I can do that while literaly shitting.

But to answer your question, I will propably check news on how my government sucks more often or something.

[Subliminally]

THis was the most disgusting way to promote and expac.

Complete disrespect for the community, the dude at the star didn't look once at the camera to engage with the audience, just read the text like "F this, I don't get paid to be a salesman" Ion did the same pretty much like they don't even know what they are promoting. This shows a complete lack of care about the game and its consumers.

They keep not listening to the community, we never asked for azerite traits, thats why people liked older expansions much more, sure there wwas the rep grind, but to lvl and alt in these days is terrible, I got 5 alts at 120 without even the cloak because its just too much to be grinding the neck and clok all over again

And acknowledging Reckful would also be a nice touch, he cared about the game, he loved the game. Everyone looked up to him and he did so much for us. Yet they can't spend 1 minute to pay respects?
This devs don't care about the gamers, they care about money, and it will be the end of the game

Also, I sure hope Ion doesn't get in trouble for the BLM comment since... you know, Blizzard channels are not for political messages

I had literally never heard about him until his death, so no, ''everyone'' didnt.

And it wasnt important to add something about him either. But you're just here to be a whiny little shit biscuit.
