The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion
(lemmy.world)
Have you been spending hours trying to pass a level? Or maybe you are completely addicted to a newly bought game. Do you have a question about a game or would like to share something else? In the Weekly Discussion Thread, you can do it all!
Please don’t forget to use the spoiler tag as soon as you start talking about a storyline.
Classic or retail? Or SOD? To be honest right now is great time to get back into WoW. Multiple ways to play the game and the new xpac is actually pretty fun!
I did play a bit of classic during the break, I'm giving retail an honest go now. I did hear good things about the current X-Pac but also saw the blizzcon extracts and seems they are starting to cater more to folks like me who might not be able to play all the time. I'm also harbouring some hope they bring a port to Xbox after the Microsoft acquisition which would be great for me to be able to put more time in.
First impressions are good, I'm SHOCKED by all the quality of life stuff, and the levelling is soooo fast! Feels great but definitely a bit confusing, I quit in warlords so a lot has changed.
The leveling is a lot of fun. And running dungeons with the scaling. You can play some seriously OP classes that scale really well. I also really enjoy the new dragon mounts. They feel like guild wars flying if youve ever used those before. But yes taking away from the need to play every single day and you can hop in and out of some decent content without a crazy time sink is really nice. Im impressed! Since the last few xpacs have been pretty meh in my opinion.
I literally only played this afternoon and got my main from 35 to 59, for an old player like me that's insane, on classic I played countless hours and never managed to catch up to max level. Not gonna lie, it's working, I'm excited for end game and it feels like this might be an actual return. Haven't tried the new dragon mounts I guess that's something for when I hit 70. I'm definitely buying the war within now with the included dragon flight X-Pac (so far I only restarted the sub). I don't know if it would work since I'm on EU servers but if you want to play soon, I'm down!
Im on NA servers but with the ease of leveling im sure i could level a character fast haha. Also cross realm is a thing too but im also not sure how that works. I agree though i feel like they really have been able to grab me with the gameplay. Its refreshing compared to how the dailies and stuff used to work. Classic too.
