Post by Peter T.I'm not sure what I will expect from the next expansion. Blizzard has
disappointed me since they released WoD. But I know I'm tired of
logging in and doing the same content day after day after day. But I
also have to admit it would help a lot if I joined a guild which I don't
want and don't have the available time for.
The de-pruning sounds as a very good idea and I hope Blizzard will go
back and make the classes a bit more complicated and focused to play.
The pruning never eliminated the huge differences between the classes
pvp-wise, and pvp is a disaster for casters unless the melee is played
by a human with no hands. Literally. But the pruning made it possible
for melee retards like me to actually play a melee char fairly well.
But as it is now I literally have almost exact the same buttons and
rotation no matter what ranged class I pick - mage, lock, hunter,
shaman. I realized that in this expansion. Different class, different
ability names, same buttons and rotations, no class-specific surprises
anymore.
Yeah, and in going for spec flavour they removed class flavour. I'll
never find it right that a fire mage completely forgets how to cast a
frostbolt, for example; I mean sure, it's never going to be optimal
dps, but give them the option? Just doesn't make sense to me, at least
when it comes to basic skills like that; I still object to my rogue
somehow forgetting how to use poisons after many years, too...

BC bad
WOTLK good
Cata bad
MoP good
WoD bad
Legion good
BoA bad
Next expansion good
BC bad? Haven't heard that opinion often; I always thought the pattern
started with Cata. BC was, admittedly, a bit limited in endgame if you
weren't into grouping all the time (I'm not), but no worse than any of
the pre-LFR expansions on that front, on the whole it's one I've got
great memories of and would love to relive if Classic should expand
that far a few years down the line. They'd got the specs into a pretty
good spot by then, I think most were really fun to play and hybrids
weren't so pigeonholed into one role and one only.
Post by Peter T.I sit on my hands and keep my game unsubbed until next expansion. :)
Hehe, hopefully next one will be good indeed, after WoD I had my
doubts for the future, then Legion was so good that I know they can
still make something good. Just a shame BfA wasn't it; I'm actually
enjoying the new content this patch, but possibly because I don't have
the attitude many do of trying to grind everything out asap - I see
tons of complaints about it being too grindy... while I'm having
plenty of fun just logging in when I'm in the mood, not every day!
Post by Peter T.Btw I emptied my wallet at Steam's summersale a few days ago. Civ 6 +
all dlc, the witcher 3, the forest, sudden strike 4 and a few more games
+ xcom 1/2 games which I bought on sale in may. That should keep me
busy for the next months.
That sounds like a lot! :-) I'm sticking with WoW and GW2, but not
playing either a huge amount, bit busy in RL at present so time is
limited. Waiting for Classic, too; I got in the first two stress tests
and loved it, capped at lvl 10 but that was enough to get me right in
the mood for more, just hope they fix the obvious problems in time,
but it's already looking good.
