As the expansion went on, the raids also got worse; the first tier was good, with plenty of bosses in varied environments, but then Firelands came out with a low amount of bosses and then Dragon Soul launched, also having a low amount of bosses but also reusing environments for most of the raid.
It seems that Blizzard was more focused on its next expansion than the current one. Mists of Pandaria was an improvement on Cata in most ways, even if the story was still being mishandled. Dungeon content was the only thing that suffered here, but it was excusable given how much else was included. It seemed like things were looking up for WoW.
Warlords of Draenor was an attempt to correct the marketing issues that MoP faced. In that regard, it succeeded, with a cool if underexplained concept. It also had an excellent leveling experience… and then it fell apart completely. Once again dungeon content was neglected, but outdoor max-level content was as sparse as Vanilla. There was NOTHING for the casual player to do in this game besides leveling alts, but with a max level of that was starting to be untenable and I never really liked leveling alts that much anyway.
After all, unless his Domination magic can be countered, Zovaal could do the same against anyone who stands in his way.
Sylvanas is in a predicament of her own. Now that she is in the custody of the heroes, she'll need to be grilled for information. Danuser and Day are tight-lipped about the fates awaiting Anduin and Sylvanas.
Anduin is a hero beloved by many players, but considering he is in a vice-grip by the Jailer, players can only hope he will be saved. We now can be best friends, despite you play nelf. Beers on me. How will World of Warcraft end? Lore Story. A Sylvanas redemption could achieve just that. It ends as we complete the Great Circle foretold in the rings. Hopefully with all the elves destroyed maybe bar Alleria.
Day adds that Blizzard can also find ways to implement new systems that don't up-end the existing ones, referencing the new Covenants coming in Shadowlands as being like adding a sub-class system without having to make dramatic, fundamental shifts to how classes work on their own. Speaking of major changes, another welcome one coming with Shadowlands encompasses a number of improvements to character customization, adding more skin tone, face, and hair options especially for the human and elf races -- and specifically adding more options for BIPOC individuals to create characters that look like them.
Shadowlands takes players out of Azeroth and into the afterlife, where powerful forces are vying for control of life and death. In this and other respects such as the inclusion of an explicitly transgender character for the first time , and dropping the fee for players to change their character gender , World of Warcraft has been making some small progressive strides lately. Hight says that elements like the better customization options are things he thinks Blizzard has had on the mind for a while, but "overthought" by worrying they would need to find equivalent options for every other race in the game, including the bovine tauren.
Ultimately, he says, they decided it was fine not to anthropomorphize some of the races too much and to make the changes anyway. I ask Hight if, given those moves, the World of Warcraft team ever considers changing older content that has been criticized along similar lines -- for instance, the racial stereotypes perpetuated by the Tauren and Trolls.
I think that we're more progressive, and so the content moving forward is a reflection of that". I think that we're more progressive, and so the content moving forward is a reflection of that.
We haven't tried to go back and rewrite the history of WoW. If something pops up that at the time seemed innocuous, and it's brought to our attention, but really isn't cool, we have gone back and we have changed a couple of things.
But we try to be careful about that. People have memories of the way the game was, and we try to preserve that. But it's usually on a per-instance basis. We'll evaluate it and say, 'Hey, does this sound racist? Does this sound sexist? We haven't tried to put things in there that folks might find objectionable, so in those instances where it might have occurred, it was probably pretty innocent and also fairly easy for us to fix.
