Bastion has me bored to tears

[Season2mask]

I love WoW. I've been playing it since I was 12 back in early TBC.

Now that that's out of the way. Is anyone else finding it a real chore to play through Bastion? It looks alright, but it's also so samey. It has barely any variation in its looks. We've also done this sort of thing before. We've purified ourselves in Pandaria...we've fought similar constructs in Mac'aree (which Bastion reminds me of) I honestly expected more from Blizzard here. I really am struggling to care about doing all these Kryian trials. It's nothing new and I know in the end it won't be important. Bastion just lacks that something special that other zones have had.

Edit: In case you feel inclined to write something like, 'People like different stuff', don't bother, you're really wasting your time. Yes, of course everything is subjective. This is my subjective opinion. It's a discussion, not an attack on your very soul. It's great that you love Bastion. I don't.

Well then, quest through and be happy with 13 variations on patchwerk constructs.

Bastion is legit one of the better zones they made. And you complain about it? Smh

[CmA]

I agree. It feels like one long tutorial rather than a quest zone. I spend 2 hours trying to get online today and logged out after a few hours of Bastion. It just didn't interest me at all. If that is one of the better zones, I fear for the rest.

[BBQMac]

I agree on all points. The endless boring dialogues. The completely floped dramaturgy that the scenes and NPCs want to convey to me, everything was terrible. Land of weirdos.

[Deja Thoris]

Bastion sucks.

The theme is also shit. It's like fucking self doubting cult members that need to take cleansing baths every 5 minutes to something something.

Yawn.

Most annoying part of this zone was that it forces you to go at the pace of NPC dialogue and movement. I dont think there are any other leveling zones in the game with as many escort quests.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Not a fan so far, no. Which is exactly why I won't go with them as my covenant.

[DeltrusDisc]

I don't know... the zone is damned gorgeous.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

It's not too bad. But it's true it got me bored out of my mind. In contrast, I'm having a blast in Maldraxxus. But since Bastion mostly aims to introduce you to the expansion, it wasn't entirely out of the blue.

[spalernTJ]

I liked Bastion, I thought Maldraxxus was boring. It's a very subjective thing.

[PixelFox]

Bastion was very good. It's beautiful too. But I'm totally digging Maldraxxus at this point. Amazing so far.

[Schmilblick]

Same, the questing got me so bored too.

[Katchii]

I'm loving it so far, personally. I try not to think about where or if I've seen this same thing before and try to just experience the story and zone for what it is. /shrug

Opinions and subjectivity and all that...

Can I ask, and I'm really curious here, why do you feel the need to write "Opinions and subjectivity and all that..." I know it's subjective. Everyone likes different things. Yes I'm complaining, but it's also a discussion. This forum would be pretty boring without dissenting opinions, no? I never said my opinion was fact. You write like I shouldn't have made the thread at all.

[Teriz]

I'm enjoying it so far.....

[Munson85]

I married WoW, played Vanilla since I was 11

With that out of the way I thought it was ok

[Blackmist]

I've only played Bastion so far. It felt like 70% RP, 20% travelling and 10% actually playing.

Never thought I'd long for the days of killing 10 of each type of bandit and collecting pristine bear arses for no fucking reason...

[Big Thanks]

(For me) The hype level got bigger and bigger for each zone

Bastion: Cool
Maldraxus: Oh my...
Ardenweald: God yes!
Revendreth: I died from excitement and went to the shadowlands

Yeah, Bastion is better than any zone in BFA save for maybe Drustvar. Maldraxxus is okay. Reminds me more of zones from Cata. Not a bad zone, just not the best ever. I haven't played much today and Im about to head to Ardenweald. I hope its good.
