I played together with 2 guildies till we were level 60 semi-rushing it. Zones were pretty great except Ardenweald which we all hated.
I look forward to doing everything on my alt and really focus more on the stories and zones. Art team really outdid themselves this expasion.

I think the thing I miss out WoW from the old days are guilds. Every guild I join these days is just silent, or full of people begging for help running things.
I miss the feeling of being friends with my guild mates.

Ah okay. I guess that makes sense. Would really love if they made an option for family share because in a normal setting you should be able to play 2 independent games simultaneously but in this scenario you can't. I get why no options for remote sharing but at the very least within the same household, I can't see why not. Both playin the same game... yeah that I agree can't be a thing but not with your scenario.
Either way, sounds like you got a solution for now.
Definitely understand where you're coming from. I still remember names from guildies a decade ago and the time we shared but couldn't tell you two names from guilds in the last couple years.
This is why I play this game as a single player game for the most part now. None of my friends play anymore, and I have yet to join a guild since probably Cata (maybe Mists) that had a true guild feel of the old days. Ah well I don't have time to do heavy raiding and shit anymore anyway so it doesn't bother me that much.
So just finished up the Bastion storyline. Definitely feels like the plot was half-completed with the rest being saved, I'm assuming, if you choose them as your covenant. Assuming all the zones will be like that which isn't great imo.
All the zones so far for me are "why am I supposed ot care about any of this" or "the interesting thing happened before I got here".
I'm assuming that yeah, covenant campaigns cover the rest of them.
Pretty much what I expected on both points tbh
I already had to force myself through bastion, maldraxxus looks a bit more interesting
Am I supposed to finish storyline in every region first or just head to next map when i get high enough lvl?
finish the main storyline if you want to pick your covenant and open up the other zones
Hey all, I haven't played since Pandaria and I am thinking of checking this out. I can't seem to find a clear answer of what I need to get started and can I just jump right into Shadowlands? Do I just purchase Shadowlands and nothing else? And do I need to buy a level boost for my character or something to play it right away? I am so out of the loop so I apologize for asking what may be super obvious questions. Thanks!
this revendreth storyline is pretty different than i anticipated just from first looks in the trailers
yes shadowlands and nothing else
have to be level 48 to access the new content, whatever that means for you

oh...oh.
I thought Bastion's story felt unfinished, and like I said yesterday I thought it was weird you dont go to like 30% of the zone... I COMPLETELY forgot covenant campaigns were a thing. So I take it alol the zones will:
A) have a half a story only
B) have zones you only go IF you are that covenant and do that campaign
not sure how I feel about that tbh... I guess its cool for 4 chars.

Thanks for the response. Last I played the lvl cap was something like 90 I think? And I've heard something like everyone starts Shadowlands at lvl 50? How does that work exactly?
As a leveling experience its by far the most structured WoW has ever been, and its crazy it took them this long to differentiate Main Quest markers from side quests. Music, graphics, art are fantastic and story seems ok so far. The other side of that though is that leveling is way more linear and you dont get to choose where to go like before (no adventure board like in BFA/Legion to choose where you quest first for example)
That sucks, b/cI really can't wait to get out of Maldraxxus. I can't imagine Ardenweald is worse.
Yeah, it was like that in Battle for Azeroth as well - you just move from one quest hub to another, and nothing much becomes available until you finish your batch of quests and keep moving in a very prescribed way.
One difference though is that like, if you're in Stormsong Valley or whatever, like half of the zone quests are "main quest" and required to unlock additional story campaign and the rest of the zone stories are side quests and you need to do those to get the Zone story achievement for loremaster. Here all the main zone quests are part of the story and you do them all before moving on and the side stories are moved to a seperate achievement, but both are required for loremaster. It's a technical difference but just better organized imo
Yeah I enjoyed it too. Was like a literal walk in a park, which is a nice change of scenery.
something as simple as having a different quest marker for mandatory story quests goes a long way
No spoilers please but for those who have finished the zones, is the main story arc wrapped up in the end? This is my first wow expansion but I played each one prior to this and I don't recall the original story (before patch x.1) of each expansion having any resolution till later patches. I am just so used to FFXIV expansions having a concrete storyline to follow, compete with a final boss, before patches expand upon the conclusion.
there's no real resolution to anything so far. nathria will be the capstone to one of bigger plot points so far but the main arc of the expansion is still to be addressed
I was at 45 minutes earlier. I'm guessing there not just opening the flood gates for all to come in as it was unplayable, now its a filtered queue.
This is my first time being at an expansion launch since Burning Crusade, seems like the majority of people are enjoying it (besides the server issues).
I played about an hour of it so far and I really like it, looking forward to getting to Revendreth since that theme appeals to me a lot.

What I like about the zones is that they're all unique from each other and not comparable to a lot of past zones. While I a love more grounded locales like Zandalar or Kul'tiras, a lot of their zones just felt like HD versions of past zones. Even Ardenweald, which is probably the most derivative zone, is too alien looking to really be compared to past stuff.
Ah, for the second time when I ask my friends if they're playing they say no; but end up actually playing, all together, without me and there's a fucking slot.
They did it for classic, they've done it today. I literally don't know a single person on this planet to play with, so I ended up not buying :/.

I think the two major criticisms i agree with so far are:
- No mounts on the Maw. I can only assume they will be available at max lvl
- The zone stories are fractured between leveling and Covenant campaign

Damn tree huggers denied me my nerubian mount so yes i'm being an edgelord right now :3
No. You will never mount in the Maw, even at max level. It's gimmick is it being a hellhole that is miserable to traverse. And don't worry, you won't be in there long. The Eye of the Jailer mechanic limits the amount of time you spend there. Eventually it will cause unkillable assassins to be sent after the player, making any more progress in the Maw that day impossible.
Unless it's different at cap, worgen can use Wild Running and Shaman/Druid can use their respective travel forms in the Maw. Which is super funny.
Yeah. Racial/Class movement abilities are still allowed, but mounts and certain items aren't.
