Midnight campaign is really short

[Unforgivenn]

They really made it short, tww and df was, but Midnight dont have that much.

I hit 85 with the eversong. Woods, zul'aman, harandar and arator campaigns done, had to grind to 86 for voidstotm, and finished it 87 :/

Did you do literally anything besides the campaign quest lmao all I did was my campaign quest and gathering as I went and hit 90 right as I finished though I did it with war mode on

I don't know what your complaint is. Are you upset that you didn't reach 90 purely from campaign quests? Are you upset that the story being told isn't long enough for campaign questing?

Question: how did you hit 85 in Eversong Woods with only campaign quests?

Makes me question-- did you do any dungeons? Every zone has dungeon quests that send you directly to the dungeon (whether Follower Dungeon or normal). What about any world quests?

Happy it is short. The campaign is mediocrity. Meanwhile the majority of the sidequests are pretty great.

Its perfect. There is plenty side Q to be done. Some campain Q were filler and tbh should and could be shorter. I dont see a reason to stretch it up.

[Al Gorefiend]

Eversong Woods being so short was one of the highlights of this expac so far.

[LordVargK]

The shorter the main campaign the better. Should be removed entirely.

[xenogear3]

I like it so far.
The reason is short is because you can fly.

Yeah the side quests are much better, at least from what I've done. The main campaign is forgettable at best.

I mainlined the campaign in warmode and got 87 and change. Actually got drops I couldn't use, which is surprising.

Better way to do it is to sit on your dungeon quests and delve quests until you finish the campaign, then turn them all in. You can craft after that and get about a level purely from first craft bonus XP.

[Al Gorefiend]

Kinda reminds me of Skyrim and how you need to pad out the main story questlines with all the side quests and bonus objectives. Otherwise within a week you are escaping Helgen and slaying Anduin.

Same here. I level up mining to 100 and probably got 2 or 3 levels with it. I'm doing right now Voidstorm, and i'm level 88.

This has been the best expansion so far for me, in terms of this "new" WoW. BFA, DF and TWW have been a little bit boring.

[Lolites]

had to grind to 86 for voidstotm, and finished it 87 :/

wait, isnt voidstorm from 88?

well, i wouldnt mind it being longer, but i dont think its short, on my first char i did campaign (without voidstorm), 2 delves and maybe 2 dungeons and i was 88

and lets not forget you HAVE TO do the campaign at least once to unlock world q and so on, so if it was any longer there would be people who level through dungeons/delves whining its too long...
i think this lenght of campaign is good compromise, maybe a bit shorter but there is plenty of side quests, so if you want to level purely through quests you can, and if you want to level by other means y ou dont have to do lenghty campaign

Interesting, I hit 83 in Eversong with the campaign, a few side quests and a Delve. Also mined and herbed, but not going out of my way. Odd rare, I guess. Results vary crazily apparently. Proceeded to focus on the main campaign with 2 more Delves, finsished the campaign 75% through lv 88.

To my knowledge it is 86, but I didn't even know that...I was 86 after duing Eversong - Harandir - Zul - Arator in that order and got the quest to go to Voidstorm.

Given the story quality sure.

[Relapses]

The campaign itself seems to be about the same length as prior expansions, though the total experience needed to get from 80 to 90 has increased by a decent amount. I believe the OP's gripe is that he must've only done campaign quests and somehow ended up at 85 instead of the requisite 86 for Voidstorm. That's a bit of an oversight, though I think you can easily alleviate that by either a.) doing the side quests that you want to do anyway since they give rep; or b.) doing random dungeons and stuff in between your questing.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

The levelling campaign is about the same length as the last three expansions. In TWW, I hit level 80 before I reached Hallowfall and there was no more character progression for me, but I was doing almost all of the sidequests. I remember there were other people also complaining about that. Whereas here I ignored sidequests until I finished the levelling campaign. I also remember that during TWW, they said in interviews that the campaign would be shorter but there would be more sidequests. I wonder if people didn't do the sidequests that much, so this time they adjusted the amount of EXP to incentivize you to do them.

[Apatrida]

Sojopurner (all sidequests) felt like a lot of work and time invested in midnight compared to War within e.g.

[Low Hanging Fruit]

I think a shorter but denser approach is better. The only things I felt kinda dragged were the side quests.. I did a few as I went and they VERY MUCH followed a thank you for coming to the bread crumb, here is 2 quests, ah you did those 2 quests thank you do 2 more quests, ah you did those two quests ok now go kill this guy for me, thank you!
