I'm just happy to be back on Azeroth.
Sadly I was very very disappointed with the launch. For the first time since starting to play back in 2004 an expansion launch actually broke my game. Told me I didn't own Dragon Flight, put me in the endless loop of scanning my files...totally messed it up. Long story short, after almost 3 hours of searching forums and the web we finally uninstalled every little tiny file....installed it with a room mates account on my computer, and it worked. Now everything is peachy keen /s. Even Blizzards own work around didn't work...just frustrating. But now I'm on the Isles and being so late to the party it's really nice and quiet...take the good with the bad I guess
Judging by all the comments, I am very happy the soonest I will be able to play is on weekend.
Not gonna be able to touch the game until Thursday sadly.
At least i don't have to deal with the launch day problems.

Anyone else’s interface been reset and profiles deleted? Lmao.
Yeah, I hoping for more content than WoD tho. The game back then only got something to do when Tanaan came out. I get some ppl like raidlogging, but this is waste of money for me. That's why I'm really hoping the will add something akin to visions, or torghast in later patches.
Thank you, thank you. But you see, it was actually quite easy to predict all this stuff. Since alpha datamining, we knew that the Janitor was after some "key" carried by the "Arbiter" that would allow him to reach a certain "Sepulcher". Blizzard, being the masters of subtle foreshadowing that they are , literally had the Primus say this, and this dialogue was datamined since alpha:
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/The..._Unknown#NotesVoice of the Primus says: There is but one hope to save the Shadowlands. The Eternal Ones must stand together once more, before the Jailer escapes the Maw.
Voice of the Primus says: Bring my warning to the Archon, the Winter Queen, and the Sire. They must see to our defenses. Do not let Zovaal reach the sepulcher.
Voice of the Primus says: The Arbiter is the final key. Protect her, or all is lost.
My only "mistake", if you can even call it that, was assume that Shadowlands would be a 3 tier expansions like literally every other expansion except for WoD. In which case, you can be certain that Kel'thuzad would have had his own raid tier (he was the most popular villain featured in the expansion besides Sylvanas).
Indeed, one of the main criticism of Shadowlands (amongst the countless of them) is that Ner'zhul and Kel'thuzad deserved more spotlight.

My impressions after the first few hours:
Oof, so many disconnects already, always in the strangest situations (seems like when the game is overwhelmed by actions / cinematics etc. going on).
Haven't played beta to avoid spoilers, but I love the storyline from the first zone so far. It's so much more gripping than anything going on in Shadowlands. And I actually care about what's happening.
I played for about 3 hours now and I am almost 63 - and I read every quest, I'm not skipping dialogue or cutscenes - why the heck is leveling up so fast?
Dragon Isles seem vast and expansive, but I really dislike Dragonriding and the super slow regen for vigor. It's just zZzzzZz when you're stuck on the ground with no vigor. No final judgement, maxed out Dragonriding could be fun.
By the way, what's up with Razsageth little arms? Is it a design choice or is there an explanation for it why she has crippled arms, coming during the main story? They look hideous and hilarious at the same time.

MAGA - Make Alliance Great Again
I decided to take it slow, finish zone a day and push endgame on weekend, so now I'm stuck in work and counting hours.
Had pretty smooth experience on midnight thought, almost filled XP bar in hour. On main I will do everything anyway, but there is hope alt leveling will be fun day 1.
WoD had loads of fun mechanics in place for the open world. The best example being mounted combat in Nagrand. it just didnt have any reason to go out there.
DF has similar fun mechanics to engage with in the world, but crucially has actual reasons to go out as well in the form of reagent gathering and world and daily quests.
The world revamp dream will never die!
Wowpedia page, you can see they've always had those.
Eh we know that they could have intelligence, the aspects were proto-dragons once with some level of intelligence, after all.
