<h2>Initial Thoughts</h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
World of Warcraft is a complex game to review, as it has
|
||||
many aspects, multiple versions and a long history of
|
||||
expansions. In this review, there will be thoughts on
|
||||
multiple versions of the game, as well as different ratings
|
||||
for each one, above is the overall rating for the game as a
|
||||
whole, but depending on the expansion, it may differ
|
||||
greatly. The reviews are also separated into different
|
||||
sections, depending on the era of the game, to which each
|
||||
expansion has been categorized based on both how I
|
||||
personally think they fit, and how Blizzard seems to treat
|
||||
them. Expansions colored in grey are ones I do not consider
|
||||
as part of any era, but have been placed to the closest one,
|
||||
but will not contribute to the rating of the era. Each era
|
||||
will also have an expansion considered as the "peak" of the
|
||||
era, and if it was possible to play any expansion from that
|
||||
era as it was during then, that expansion would be the one I
|
||||
recommend playing. Things related to expansions, but not
|
||||
part of the review, will be at the bottom of the page.

|

The Classic Era, what I consider to be the Warcraft 4
|
||||
experience, it finishes storylines set in the Warcraft
|
||||
games, and culminates to it's peak in Wrath of the Lich
|
||||
King, where the story of Arthas is concluded. This was the
|
||||
point where the game was at it's most popular, as it was the
|
||||
most polished and new-player friendly MMO at the time, and
|
||||
people wanted to finish the Warcraft story. This is the era
|
||||
in which the game was at it's social peak, as it had more
|
||||
focus on group content, but was still playable solo for the
|
||||
most part. For players just getting into the game, Classic
|
||||
is where I would recommend starting, as the slow leveling
|
||||
system allows new players to learn the game and experience
|
||||
the world at a good pace, and have the social interactions
|
||||
you would expect from an MMO, without having to go out of
|
||||
your way to find them. I strongly recommend joining a
|
||||
leveling guild, to both ask for help and make some friends
|
||||
along the way.

<h3>Vanilla</h3>
|
||||
<strong>Rating:</strong>
|
||||
<p>3</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Some consider Vanilla to be the best version of the game,
|
||||
and while I do think it has a certain charm, it is not
|
||||
something I would keep playing after reaching max level,
|
||||
without knowing that new content was coming, such as TBC.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>The Burning Crusade</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Rating:</strong></p>
|
||||
<p>3</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
I doubt there are many who consider TBC to be the best
|
||||
expansion, but I do think everyone agrees on it being a good
|
||||
expansion, it added a lot of quality of life improvements
|
||||
and new content to the game. It also continued Illidan's
|
||||
story, and helped refine WoW as a game, while staying close
|
||||
to the Vanilla experience.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>Wrath of the Lich King</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Rating:</strong></p>
|
||||
<p>5</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
I think everyone knew this was going to be the best rated
|
||||
expansion from the Classic Era, and arguing against it is
|
||||
not easy. From finishing the story of Arthas, to improving
|
||||
things like quest loot drop rates, and adding the first hero
|
||||
class to the game with the Death Knight, WotLK is the
|
||||
finishing touch to the Warcraft 4 experience, to the Classic
|
||||
Era, and had a major influence to the game as a whole,
|
||||
though some of that influence was not for the better, but
|
||||
I'll talk on that more at the bottom of the page.

<h3><span style="color: grey">Cataclysm</span></h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Cataclysm feels much more like an update than an expansion,
|
||||
it overhauled a lot, and while it did bring new content,
|
||||
when most people hear "Cataclysm", they think about how the
|
||||
world changed and systems were modernized. It's hard to
|
||||
review, as it'd be reviewing changes to the core game,
|
||||
rather than the expansion content. If you must have a number
|
||||
to represent it, it'd have to be a 2.
|
||||

|
||||
<h3>Mists of Pandaria</h3>
|
||||
<h3>Warlords of Draenor</h3>
|
||||
<h3>Legion</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Rating:</strong></p>
|
||||
<p>5</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Legion was the peak of the Modern Era, it did for Illidan
|
||||
what WotLK did for Arthas, concluding the story of him and
|
||||
The Burning Legion, focusing a lot on class fantasy with
|
||||
order halls and artifact weapons, and was overall a very
|
||||
satisfying expansion to play, with a lot of great quality
|
||||
content and quality of life improvements. While some
|
||||
consider systems it brought in, such as the artifact weapons
|
||||
which were a grind for people at the top level, to be a bad
|
||||
thing, I believe for the average player, Legion did nothing
|
||||
but good. It was the best expansion since WotLK and if one
|
||||
doesn't consider how WotLK closed the Warcraft story, then
|
||||
as a way more modern experience of World of Warcraft, Legion
|
||||
may be considered the best expansion in the game.

<h3><span style="color: grey">Shadowlands</span></h3>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Shadowlands, considered by many as the worst expansion, also
|
||||
didn't feel like it fit into the Modern Era, it also isn't
|
||||
treated as part of the Current Era by Blizzard, so it's not
|
||||
considered as part of either. It is story-wise a bad
|
||||
expansion, as Jailer came out of nowhere, and a lot of
|
||||
characters felt like they did not match their previous
|
||||
iterations, but gameplay-wise and content-wise, such as
|
||||
cosmetics, and zones, it wasn't bad and shouldn't be blindly
|
||||
hated, but rather criticized for its major flaws in story.
|
||||
I'd give it a -5 for people who are interested in the story
|
||||
of WoW, a 0 for people who aren't as caught up with the
|
||||
story and don't know about why certain things about it are
|
||||
bad, and 2 for just gameplay and content.

<h3>Dragonflight</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Rating:</strong></p>
|
||||
<p>2</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Dragonflight, a return to form for Wow, it definitely was a
|
||||
major improvement after Shadowlands, but it felt like a safe
|
||||
expansion right after the major fail, where it might have
|
||||
benefited from taking more of a risk. It felt like an
|
||||
expansion on the level of BfA, but right after Shadowlands,
|
||||
whereas BfA was after Legion, which was an incredible
|
||||
expansion, so while it was an improvement, it didn't feel
|
||||
like WoW had returned to what it should be at, though
|
||||
objectively, it did.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h3>The War Within</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Rating:</strong></p>
|
||||
<p>3</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The beginning of the Worldsoul Saga, The War Within is a
|
||||
good expansion, the story is good, zones are nice and
|
||||
gameplay is solid. It's an improvement to Dragonflight, but
|
||||
as it's just the start of a larger story, it's doing a lot
|
||||
of the foundational building, which doesn't make it as
|
||||
exciting as previous one-expansion stories, but the buildup
|
||||
it has is great and gives promise to WoW returning to its
|
||||
former glory.
|
||||

||||
<h3>Midnight</h3>
|
||||
<p><strong>Rating:</strong></p>
|
||||
<p>3</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The current expansion at the time of writing, Midnight just
|
||||
launched a few days ago. Dungeons are out, but most of the
|
||||
content is yet to come, so I can't give a full review, but
|
||||
so far, the leveling campaigns were fun, the reworks classes
|
||||
got in order to fit their fantasies better are amazing, and
|
||||
overall, Midnight seems like it will improve upon what The
|
||||
War Within started.
