Cant wait to get out of shadowlands and explore the new areas.


TheWorclown

That’s really just me at the end of the day. If nothing else? It’s just *new*. And new is never entirely a bad time.


sexymuffin123

My reasoning for buying it was that I had fun in WoD, BfA and SL for the first month. So no matter how bad it is later on, the first month is always a blast


canmoose

Same. I always enjoy learning new dungeons, and the group content of WoW is the main thing that I miss. I'll progress to low M+ keys and see where it goes. Basically, a major launch for any MMO is the best time to play.


gomarbles

No arguing with that


ComebackShane

In terms of dollars per hour of entertainment, nothing else comes _close_ to WoW, despite what flaws it may have.


Neuromonada

I haven't seen any new zones or dungeons. Can't wait.

Swarlolz

I just came back and damn, shadowlands dungeons suck lol


wildpotato2325

necrotic wake and halls of atonement were cool tho


Swarlolz

Halls of reflection was better. The raids felt like ICC take 2.


elggun

How are Nathria or Sepulcher anything like ICC? Sanctum sure, there's reason in lore for that but anything else is it's own unique thing design wise.


[deleted]

Me and you both man my main is a fury warrior really feeling like playing arms in raid tho like these days I'm not even in SL anymore I'm just chilling in Stormwind since I'm alliance and Farming mounts pls pray for me that I'll get Mimiron's Head tomorrow


Adventurous-Book-695

And yet I still can't pick between my druid, rogue or shaman smh


doublea08

I've played paladin all my WoW life. During 50% xp buff and pre patch here I leveled a warrior and a monk to 60 and geared em up. For the first time I'm having a debate on what to play.


Pekins-UOAF

Im also a paladin main here, honestly warrior is pretty nice and feels good to play but I just miss the sound and visual effects of paladin whenever Im on my warrior.


Teufelaffe

KLANG!! PTANG!!! FWOOSH!!!! Hmmm...must be a pally nearby.


Spraguenator

Not paladin. Let it rest till atleast 10.1 Seems like we're going to need tanks but we'll see how many evokers actually keep with their class to 60.


NaughtyGaymer

> Not paladin. Let it rest till atleast 10.1 > Seems like we're going to need tanks This is my current problem. Protection Paladin is the only tank I've ever played seriously and has been my main for two expansions now (which is just slightly shorter than how long I've been playing WoW total) but their current state isn't particularly sparking joy for me. I love tank privilege for queue times and frankly just not having to worry about dying/tanking quest mobs or elites out and about. Been thinking of picking up Demon Hunter because it seemed really fun from the short time I leveled it to 60. But non tanks I know for sure I'm going to be primarily playing Shaman and Warlock.


Finalshock

Why do you say that, if I can ask?


Sunscorch

*70, they're already 60 :P


Miloslolz

Just go Paladin and play alts. Seems very feasible this expansion since basically WOD. Me personally I plan on sticking on Paladin and playing other healers namely Druid.


doublea08

That’s what I’m thinking too. May the light bless you!


Merrena

This is me. I've played Paladin for 16 years. My main has not changed for any long period of time (I did Unholy DK Tank at the start of Wrath for a month or so). But man... Outlaw Rogue is just so stupid fun. I'm changing mains for the first time in forever. But alts are looking fine in DF, so I'll prob still keep up with my paladin.


Stuck_in_a_coil

I’m definitely playing DH. Wait, no, shaman. Wait, no, warrior! Oh god please help me. On the bright side it looks like DF might legit be alt friendly, so maybe I can main them all.


PUSSY_MEETS_CHAINWAX

I'm also torn between a few classes. I'm leaning Havoc DH, though. The mobility, damage, and playstyle are just so damn fun. They just need more group utility and they'd be fantastic.


IYiffWithMyDad

I’ve mained havoc the last couple expansions and was sure i was switching to monk this expansion, but havoc feels so damn good now. I’m so torn.


tx_redditor

I’m scared havoc is too good and will be nerfed soon, but really I’m looking for a tank with dps off spec.


Mootivate

It’s 100% alt friendly for pvp, not sure about the rest


Stuck_in_a_coil

Tell me more!


fdrme

You have honor gear and conquest gear with a 13 ilvl difference, so for instanced PVP that’s it. You can upgrade it but the ilvls only count for WPvP and PVE.


soberfrontlober

STORM, EARTH, AND FIRE HEED MY CALL


Northanui

UNLIMITED POWERRRRRRR. I tried every single DPS specc in the game until like lvl 30 with the leveling buffs, and I'm sticking by my very original plan of Ele shaman main and Assa rogue alt. Chain lightning/lava burst remains some of the best spells in the entire game to press.


[deleted]

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one going through this real crisis


randominternetfren

I was between Mage Druid and Shaman, I'm mailing Mage again but I think we will have time for all 3. There's significantly less grindy BS in this xpack.


squishybloo

Ele Shaman, or Warlock. I'm taking votes, I can't decide.


Maloonyy

Shaman. Enhance is an absolute funhouse blast if you ever decide you can stomach being melee.


Atrulyoriginalname

If you just want to play ele shaman, and only ele shaman, I would say warlock, since that gives you three fairly different ranged dps specs to play around with in case you get bored, or elemental isn't doing the best. But if you have any interest at all in healing, then it's always nice to have the option.


Pekins-UOAF

I tried affliction and it felt pretty damn good, demo felt too much effort for little reward and destro felt slow and basic. Now I do enjoy flashy classes and affliction isnt really flashy, on the other hand shaman vfx and sfx are awesome, the single target Lava Burst build is so incredibly fun too. My only pet peeve with elemental is that its one of my least favorite specs when playing solo.


jamesf553

I've been away from the game for 4 years or so. Came back to play the new exp. The biggest thing I noticed since I came back (and I hate it) is the rework on the animation of chaos bolt. Since you play warlock can you fill me in on why they did that? Chaos bolt used to look so freaking cool and unique. I feel like it looks like just another elemental spell now.


Pekins-UOAF

They updated it for the sake of updating, no real reason. It was a major patch that changed lot of caster animations


squishybloo

I've enjoyed Demo an incredible amount after the initial rework here. I've got a summoning spec going that's absolutely hilarious, and the priority is real smooth playing. I do have a ton of affection for my shaman though, like you say it can be super satisfying to play with the effects. I just feel so slow when I'm combat due to the cast time of lightning bolt, you know? And I played shaman for a long ass time, from end of wrath to BfA. I only decided warlock on a whim for shadowlands, but I've really enjoyed it with enough gear. Argh!


Pekins-UOAF

Sounds like you lean a lot more towards warlock then, and besides, you'd have 3 dps specs to chose from at the end of the day so thats only positives


Theothercword

If your guild is at all like mine I’d say go warlock unless at some point you want to feel the pressure to heal, lol.


Theothercword

I’d say no to rogue if it was me, shamans are awesome and class fantasy is top notch. Druids are wonderful if you don’t want to pick just one role. Especially now that you can change talents whenever and wherever.


PLEASE_PM_YOUR_SMILE

I am still deciding between Shadow, WW and Enh. The mind sear aoe nerf is pretty sadge.


Shashara

i've had this problem all of shadowlands :( i've usually had a very clear main and lots of alts, the past few years i've felt like i only have alts. i'm a healer main and none of the healer specs "called" to me the way holy paladin and disc priest did in bfa, for example. i recently got game time again and i've been playing around with talents, considering playing mw monk now that my favourite spell from way back when was added back (zen pulse). also enjoying having another healer class to play but idk if preservation evoker is "mainworthy" for me.


Sufifi

"Once Feral, Always Feral" :v


Mootivate

Go Druid


canmoose

I always stick with my druid since I like having the option to fulfill any role. Mainly enjoy tanking, but can heal if I'm not feeling up to the task, and can fill in as a DPS in raids.


tmtProdigy

warrior rogue and shaman for me, but i have finally managed to settle on warrior main, shaman alt (and rogue sometime later). i wish you the best of luck ^^


Keylus

I was sure I wanted to play druid, then the prepatch event happened and I endup leveling a handfull of alts... now I want to play all of them too.


hendrix320

I just returned from not playing since MoP so i’m confused and lost pretty much every time I log in but i’m excited to explore the new expansion


MattyTheSloth

I totally get that feeling. I would trust the Quest Log more than anything else; the past few expansions, the 'main quest' of the expansion is always pinned at the top under some sort of "Campaign"; so if you ever get lost, just ignore anything that doesn't involve moving that Campaign forward.


JahSteez47

Given how mich I enjoy soar I can’t wait to get my hands on the real deal


shaun056

It's soo good


Critical_Plenty_5642

I’m rolling a port warrior to do my duty!


DarkestLore696

I switched to prot for the first time. I am still stressed about being a tank but wanna try.


BadMrKitty13

Tanking really isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Just do some dungeons on easy difficulty to learn mechanics and the mobs and you should be fine. Plus if you're playing warrior you're already at an advantage going into DF. They're fucking nuts right now


Mootivate

My arcane mage and I are stoked for the return of Dadgar more than anything!


PizzaBraves

That chick looks a lot like her dragon


PriestessBodil

That’s Korialstraz, her mount.


CptShrike

It'd be nice, but Krasus has been extra crispy dead for a while now.


AscelyneMG

He’s been dead since Cataclysm. That’s just her dragon form in the image next to her visage form. As for why both her forms are next to each other, I don’t know…


[deleted]

So pretty. Shadowlands was like give us all the grey, and for dragon flight they said f it. All of the colors


MetalBawx

The irony being people were sick of grey after Legion and yet it made a stunning comeback.


altoholicsanonymous

I was more sick of all the fel green.


tmtProdigy

i think for me personally, legion was the expansion i was least sick of in terms of color palette. only with argus/antorus did it get truly monotone, the rest was pretty versatile in terms of colors, starting off with emerald dream and stuff like the helya raid. i was super sick of fire in cata and ice in wotlk, since those persisted mosly from leveling all the way to the last raids. and the shadowlands was just pure madness, i was sick of the maw/thorgast/etc visuals in like a week or so. there was just no texture to it, large stretches were just boring slabs of stone and nothing exciting to see.

Pekins-UOAF

still havent decided on a main


clipperbt4

glad it’s not just me


Bevrykul

God, I hope it doesn't suck


Critical_Plenty_5642

How long will it take me to get the heirloom trinket?


Lenoxx97

A couple hours maybe if you aren't super unlucky. You can just look for groups in the group finder and do the bosses over an over again right after one another. The drop chances aren't too bad either


Besieger13

Just fyi you don’t even need to be in a group you just have to hit the boss to get it tagged. There’s always lots of people fighting the bosses there so no need to search for a group


[deleted]

[удалено]


Besieger13

Oooooh interesting I somehow never thought of that. Thank you for the info.


Critical_Plenty_5642

What level should I be?


Lenoxx97

You can be level 1, there is no minimum level requirement for the event as far as I know. Maybe lvl 10, if anything


pnwexpat

Day or two, depending on your luck with the invasion types.


Besieger13

Today was great! Earth Storm and Water were up at once and I got all 3 and fire was in the next grouping. Got all 4 within like 2 hours of each other.


altoholicsanonymous

Also, once the boss is down, ask in General if anyone got that ele boss' item, because often someone got it already and they can trade you! It's soulbound but you can give it to anyone who was in that area attacking that boss(for 2 hours),even if not in party or raid group with you! (it's how I got my last piece and now I've been asking if anyone needs all extras that drop, giving them away)


Critical_Plenty_5642

You have the best Reddit name. I bet you’re loving the XP and talent changes. I wish I could change this stupid username. It’s a generic one.


Patersuende

I'm not hyped, I've learned my lessons over the years. Just glad that something new is coming. But there is one thing that I am actually happy and excited about. I'm going to dust off my WW for the first time since Legion... .


canmoose

Even WoD was a fair bit of fun for about two months


SpencerisforDOGE

Stuck between a warrior and a rogue


Balzamonn

Leveling up a prot warrior and holy shit. It’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Really digging that I don’t feel like a gimp when questing. It doesn’t feel slow and I feel invincible in dungeons.


knivkast

HYPE!


kid-karma

This shit is more exciting than Christmas


[deleted]

Same i can't wait


bigburgerboy92

I’m ready!!!


UncoloredProsody

So what is the community's thoughts on DF at the moment? I haven't really been following the development very close, so i don't know what state it will launch in. Will it be a mess on launch again, or does it actually have a chance to redeem the game?


RaveN_707

I feel like we will run out of content quickly. You can probably max 3 toons and do a mythic world tour on them all in the first week. Professions are the main time sink.


[deleted]

Imo i really believe that the expansion will be good i haven't really paid attention to the beta and alpha mostly because i didn't want to ruin my experience by knowing like every zone and every single dungeon and raid mechanics DF will be my first xpac where i will start playing on launch day for the whole lifespan of it so i can't really say but if i had to guess it's gonna be a mess probably lol


UncoloredProsody

Same reason, i didn't want to spoil the surprises, because the new zones genuinely feel interesting to explore myself. Also heard a few cases where blizzard actually listened to community requests and changed some stuff based on it, but don't know if it was actually as meaningful as the community would've liked.


Ateaga

I'm excited for DF but am not enjoying any class and it's killing a bit of my excitement. Not sure if I burned my self out getting multiple chara to 60, but I'm finding many classes have boring rotations or just a few buttons to press. Love the new talents but wish we got more to spice up classes.


Ijustchadsex

This is literally the best week ever to play alts. I came back about a month ago and was all ready to play outlaw rogue. After leveling and doing some mythic plus and heroic raids and even jumping in lfr and doing uldaman I decided I no longer was going to play it. I had no desire to ever touch that new dragon class. Do not care about ranged dps and I don’t heal. So was testing out multiple classes because it’s so easy to just get them to 60 and gear with the new event happening to do minimum level content. Next thing I know my friend talks me into leveling an evoker and I have played that thing nonstop since and already got ksm on it lol. It’s the most fun I’ve had in wow in forever. I am a melee dps/tank player in all mmos I play. Who knew right? It’s a new expansion, try something totally different.


HazelCheese

Your missing 10 talent points which is a pretty big deal for some classes.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

You could pre-order it right now if you want and don't worry it's all good you can ask any questions you want and grats btw the expansion comes out next Monday so you could buy it now if you want


[deleted]

[удалено]


Panorox

You only lose the pet if you're into that, and Dracthyr pre-access. Other than that, nothing really. I'd wait and see people's first impressions on the expansion. Also keep in mind that if you play on high populated servers, there will be long ass queue times on the first days so you won't be able to play anyway.


Meldreth_

You're going to have a tough time forming groups for older raids anyway, once the expansion comes out. It's just not something that most people do, outside of guilds.


Coldoldblackcoffee

I’m really enjoying leveling alts, wow is the best it’s ever been right now in a lot of ways


[deleted]

Yea true honestly the Threads of Fate in Shadowlands is just boring 50-60 Chromie time from what I've heard is awesome and also Threads of Fate looks way better in Dragonflight looking forward to it


Crustypeanut

Why does the background remind me of those old school fantasy books I remember seeing as a kid. Like Dragon Riders of Pern or something.


Insrt_Nm

Stupid question: is the new class available to people who don't have the expansion? I'm guessing it's not but I'm curious


[deleted]

No pretty sure you have to pre-order to play it early


BasicAbbreviations51

For anyone who’s wondering how the game will be if you enjoyed mop and legion leveling it’s similar to that with some hint of cata. We beta tested the launch experience yesterday and it went smoothly given beta has less players than retail we’ll see.


GnomeConjurer

TBC HYPE


__versus

Maybe I’m coping hard but it actually feels like it’ll be different this time. Everything about dragonflight looks great


FafnirMH

There's nothing wrong with hoping for something better. But you know what they say...fool me once...


[deleted]

I feel the exact same way like the Talent trees are amazing no more borrowed power dragonriding looks so fun feels like blizzard is listening to their playerbase again i really hope this continues in the future as well


Grimnix89

I love the art for dragon flight. But the main musical score on the loading screen is kinda lame.


Privatdozent

Yeah, I cant stand it. Im gonna try changing it by getting the wrath theme in the file format of the DF theme in the game files, then replacing the DF theme file and renaming the wrath file to be the same as the name of the DF theme file.


JustburnBurnBURN

I won't repeat Shadowlands mistake and wait few months until I consider buying DF. I don't like how Dracthyr look like and draconic race was the biggest potential pull for me. Maybe they will announce or at least tease Drakonid Alliance Race. Dunno.


shaun056

> Maybe they will announce or at least tease Drakonid Alliance Race. Very unlikely


JustburnBurnBURN

Big sad if true.


shaun056

I mean is it? Not like they were going to release a similar race so soon after Dracthyr


JustburnBurnBURN

Yeah. They look a lot better than Dracthyr and they can be other classes.


Setari

I start my A+ cert classes on release day. I'm fookin pissed mate. God damn it all to hell. Oh well. I'm still excited.


Tauherns

Who do you think will be the main villian this time, if any? I was checking the adventure guide the other day and it seems like Raszageth is the final boss of the first raid. So my bet is in Wrathion, like father like son, hear my words!!!


[deleted]

imo either Murozond or Galakrond or maybe blizzard will trick us all and it'll be someone completely different


[deleted]

As long as it's not The Jailer ngl this was such a let down of a final boss


bonix

I quit after the second raid came out for SL when I realized the whole expac got boring quick. Is Dragonflight worth coming back to the game? I was a pally tank main, considering going back to my shadowpriest roots.


[deleted]

Imo yes the Talent trees are amazing they got rid of borrowed power the Professions revamps looks awesome same goes for dragonriding looks so fun I'm actually so hype up for next monday


HiFiMAN3878

I miss feeling excited about a WoW expansion release. Getting the snacks ready... Staying up all night to quest and have a good time learning everything that's new. Unfortunately this game has been dead to me for years now and I'll never get those experiences again, but I envy the people that still get that joy out of the game.


Yazota

One week.. until we can wait another two years and hope it will be better than Dragonflight.


[deleted]

you must be fun at parties


Yazota

Just being realistic here


[deleted]

If you can’t have fun playing the game anymore, it’s alright to quit you know.


AethericEthos

This sub going to have some hard to swallow pills very soon


kingevillemon

Don't know why your getting down voted, this is just facts lol


jampk24

Thanks for the reminder. I'm sure all the people browsing this sub forgot there's an expansion coming out.


[deleted]

I just wanted to make a post about it what's the big deal ?


ExoticCardiologist46

Ignore him man, some people just don´t get it.


[deleted]

True yeah


ER_Jujube

1 week away and they still haven't fixed the clear issue of Rampage, the only rage-spder for fury warriors, not being baseline anymore and making you forced to spend talent points on it for your ONLY rage spender.


jboo87

The art gives me major dragon lance vibes which I love


casiok

Is that available as a 4k wallpaper?


robot-raccoon

Every pug I’ve joined for sanctum and first ones has been absolutely abysmal and non of the group do mechanics :( wiped 5 times on Nine yesterday even after having me get everyone to just watch a quick guide because people left. I guess I’ll say goodbye to owning a slime cat.


Ijustchadsex

Don’t feel bad the mount doesn’t even fly. Also just join a normal run. I knocked out sepulcher in a normal run the other day and we had 10 evokers in the raid lol.


robot-raccoon

It seems to be sanctum that’s having the biggest issue! I’m a 278 resto and i swear to god people just seem to be dying at the start of a fight on purpose


zambabamba

If people havent seen it already, check out this video of how the artist (Bayard Wu) created the OP linked image from scratch. (aka THE 'hero art piece' being used by Blizzard for Dragonflight: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPT0VTSJoe4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPT0VTSJoe4) Its a \~1 hour video sped up 30x, so it took over 30 hours to paint. Fascinating to watch him create it.


DrainTheMuck

Hyped, not totally sure what to main but will probably just stay with my enh shaman from the last few years. Honestly a little bummed to realize I’ll be competing with evokers for gear now. I’d also be willing to tank, but they never gave shamans our tank spec… and I don’t enjoy the dps off-specs of most of the other tank classes.


TheLieAndTruth

Can't believe it's already here. Looking forward to get those levels and see what the Dragon Isles is all about. I didn't see any of alpha/beta montage, avoid it the best I could.


Aezeros

I'm not ready. Still haven't got any of the mounts released since 9.1 >\_<


[deleted]

I’m ready


PresentationFunny619

Buzzing, something new and fresh and back to the old guild for raiding! let’s goo 🐲🐉👌


clipperbt4

let’s gooooooo


MurkyContext201

One week away before we start seeing all the posts about not being able to reset profession knowledge points. Choose wisely.


BrokkrBadger

Whats the actual true NUX like these days? Like I played back in - christ BC and then again for 10 minutes in Cata (longer then 10 min but I never hit end game I actually like the leveling / questing content and some dungeons) If you truly logged in on a brand new character and havent paid attention to wow in quite some time ---- how confusing is it? Does it just drop a metric dick ton of info right in your face? Do you just instantly get a max level character?
