Since this game has come out I've been part of every launch. This will be the first one I skip. No interest in playing dress up in my house.

Same here. Loved Dragonflight. I dragged feet on War Within but still bought it last minute and maxed a character out.

I think a big thing is the release window. I need more time to get up for it. Aug-Sept I would have bought it I figure. Its just not offering enough compared to other expacs. Outside of the housing looks phoned in, and as if they already have focus on another expansion far along ready to go.

Pretty sure they put in houses to get the same degen audience FFXIV has. Going to be weird pedo shit with gnomes, furry parties and all the other shit FFXIV housing caters to.

Holy shit is that writing terrible, especially Arator’s.

I spent some time in War Within because friends dragged me in. None of us are getting the expansion, which is also a first for us. The quality has gone so far downhill it's laughable. I did actually think the 2nd video below was just a work in progress placeholder they accidentally went live with:

I want to play it just to… I guess, see it? See what theyre doing? I really enjoyed the zones as I leveled through War Within. The first raid was actually fantastic. The spider boss queen was probably the most engaging fight Ive done as far as mechanics. The last raid with the Void Boss I watched videos of and that looks even crazier. I got the furthest in Mythic +, thanks to Juvarisx Juvarisx - that Ive progressed in Mythic + since Legion. Though I know that has more to do with the social aspect of just playing with people I know.

But the actual act of playing and engaging in it just leaves me with apathy. The game is like going back and living with your parents. Nothing is the same and your parents pet the dog when he pisses on the floor now instead of throwing him out of the house at mach 9.

The only game Im actually looking forward to is Crimson Desert, right now. But not a single multiplayer game is on my radar and thats kind of sad.

AoC was the only game I was keeping an eye on. Now that that game has crashed and burned, the only other thing I am mildly curious about is the next TLP and and the actual ruleset. Crimson Desert and GTA6 are the two single player games I am interested in.

The gaming environment appears to be slowly drying up.

I'm playing D2R and WOW, so... maybe. What's good is still good. But everyone has a burnout timer.

I think the quality of the game is fine, at least the endgame gameplay. I dropped the game because I wasn’t willing to invest the time needed for the endless gearing loop between mythic raiding and M+. I’m incapable of playing the game casually.

The second video you linked is atrocious but that is just an in-game cutscene of a little played side story. Not fair to compare it to a full cinematic, which blizzard is still pretty dope at.

Woke bullshit has so fully infected the game that everything outside of the end game content is pretty rough to play.

Playing again with a RL friend who's never played WoW before, so we are having a ton of fun. Managed to get all my characters (11) to max level and geared for the first time ever.

Leveling has been really fast, and what with Legion Remix, TWW Story Recap, and the Midnight pre-patch event it's been pretty easy going.
For someone like me who's hardly touched the game since Battle for Azeroth, having so many classes prepped for the X-pac feels really good.

Needless to say, we're both really looking forward to Midnight, but I'm sure I wouldn't have bothered if playing with randoms was the only option.

You know, I would give Evoker a try just because it's something new to dick around with, but they just have to continue to force you to play a dracthyr for it and that shit is so unbelievably gay looking that I can't bring myself to do it.

You can turn them into human form permanently when out of combat.

Yeah I made one when the expansion was new. The human form was much better.

Later, the support spec seemed promising, but I have no idea if it actually helped in group content.

Support spec was more or less required for ultra high keys for awhile there, and even though I was more in the 13-14 range I loved having them in my group.
