WoW: Battle For Azeroth Expansion Announced At BlizzCon, Increases Level Cap And Adds New Continents

My god Blizzard puts some amazing cinematics in their games. I could watch them all day every day.

“The developers claimed that this was the most ambitious update to the game in some time”

I feel like I hear something very similar to this every year about another game...hmmmm

Maybe time for World of Warcraft II or World of Starcraft? Getting tired...

I'm excited for this expansion (even if a lot of it has been datamined for weeks now and isn't really all that surprising). Finally going back to the whole "Horde vs Alliance" aspect that's been lacking for some time, while getting away from the whole "ERMAGHERD BIG BAD THING GOING TO DOOM US ALL SO WE HAVE TO BAND TOGETHERZ!" theme. Really think it will make this expansion feel quite fresh. New races should add a good amount of variety to the player base as well. Plus, no more green fel zones. Woot!

One thing I'm not looking forward to however is the level scaling, and I expect transmog gear from old content that is currently soloable to skyrocket. On the flip side it will be nice to level a toon and enjoy the content in a zone without fear of outlevelling said zone.

As for the WoW: Classic announcement, I'm going to wait and see how it'll be handled. I have a feeling a lot of players who complain about current content will be the ones finding themselves missing the current "quality of life" enhancements the game has received in it's past seven expansions. As fun as it might be to play "vanilla WoW" again, it remains to be seen just how vanilla it will be, and if it can be enjoyed as much as it was back when the game was fresh, new, and unexplored.

Let's thank the Alliance for saving the universe by burning down their big tree and sending troops to die to protect Sylvanas' green slime castle.

I'm laughing at the tiny pittance of raising the level cap to 120. It took me all of two hours to go from 100 to 110. Not to mention that each character can 1-shot everything they touch during questing. I wish Blizzard would make a Nightmare difficulty for WoW and some challenge to that corpse of a game.

and ruins world pvp for good. im done with that game.

Whatever they do with PvP, I hope world PvP is entirely optional. It's a complete waste of time. Always has been and always will be.

I stopped playing years ago but if there is one thing Blizzard does well it is cinematics.

I was kind of looking forward to the expansion announcement...but after seeing the trailer (which looks gorgeous) the rest is just a disappointment.

I just find it hard to deal with the fact that it goes from tackling a literal world ending God-like figure from space, to what amounts to squabbles of petulant children that can't deal with each other.

some big problems remain that will kill world of warcraft if has not already happened, server balance , take Draenor EU as an example https://realmpop.com/eu-draenor.html. that is balanced according to Blizzard Entertainment, so they refuse to do anything about it, so current numbers are 686919 Horde (88,7%) , Alliance 87585 (11,3%) thats balanced for you, so thats going to make any pvp on that server very very "balanced" and The Alliance sure wont give up and stop fighting against those odds, they wont stop doing any other sort of faction based wars , if you believe that they must believe that my ass is santas new snowmobile, get real Blizzard, no matter how many times you pack the same merchandise in "new" "paper" then people will not remain in the game and it will die because of lack of renewal, a real pity because i have had over 11 years in world of warcraft and it is basically a good game, but there are some fundamental things lacking to keep the game interesting and fresh, the quest system is obsolete as hell, the garrison/table aspect of the game, well thats just not interesting, try something new that is not a basic carbon copy of your previous attempts in a new wrapper, and maybe, just maybe there can be hope for world of warcraft yet, but it is going to require some real effort on your part. Another issue in the game is the lack of socialisation outside of the LFR system, people no longer seem to socialise, nobody talks in the cities, nobody does anything besides their personal chores aka dayly shard/former apexis hell that you just renamed and tweaked a bit, a shit is still a shit no matter what you dress it up as, and yes there are guilds in the game, but people dont socialise, they bicker and whine about anything and anything that does not meet their expectations, well guess who, i personally am not set in this world to please your sorry ass/meet your expectations or requirements, so if you try to enforce that on me, then you can go **** your self, sorry to swear that much, but i am so fed up with that tradition among gamers, when princess buttercup does not get what she wants she and her playmates throws a temper tantrum, but the truth is the world does not revolve around you, and your expectations are not mine to adopt, i choose how to approach it, if the game says the ilvl is high enough to do it, then guess what the assesment from the developer must be that it is possible even if it will take some effort skill and teamwork, if it fails, then guess what, try try and try again, if your not well enough geared then simply by trying and failing you still gain bits and bobs of gear that improves the character wich in turn makes it so that eventually it can be completed, dont like it, tough shit, yet again, im not set in this world to meet anyone expectations/requirements. anyway, thats my thoughts on a lot of the things wrong about world of warcraft, i hope that eventually it and the player base will get to a place where it becomes fun for everyone and socialisation becomes something other then swearing and yelling at people who dont meet your requirments, name calling and what not.

arent ppl tired of this crap? teasing and tricking players to buy this with for the horde and for the alliance

blizzard is good but we need a new game

Loved most of the details except for the return to the faction war. Again. Let's get a cosmic event in the first content patch in order to forget this ever happened please.

I play FFXIV now, but those cinematics send shivers down my spine.

great job, Blizz! =]

Still haven't played Legion. Sounds like there have been a lot of changes to the game's flow, so I don't want to jump into a new expansion until I know how the current game plays.

"The developers claimed that this was the most ambitious update to the game in some time" they said that every year and it was disappointment.
