#Warlords had some good zone design but everything else was shit especially how they gave us a damn

I'm a firm believer that nothing happened before or after MoP. Warlords of who? Wrath of the what? Legion? I don't know her. But I change that, Ardenweald is the only thing that exists outside of MoP.

#My stance on MoP is that they really tried to bring the game up to modern standards in Cata but it failed in a mad scramble #to appease an unsatisfiable community. #There were parts of Cata that were just flat out bad but there were also parts that were good that went ignored by endgame-only players. #But MoP refined much of that and came out a perfect game once they ironed out some of the initial hurdles. #Not just in gameplay but in design and music and story. #Warlords had some good zone design but everything else was shit especially how they gave us a damn #OGRE raid when fucking Auchinduon and the Arrakoa got measly forgettable 4-mans. #Legion tried to be a better nod to TBC and was better but still flawed in many ways. #BfA they tried to put more focus on creating a linear story and make fully animated cutscenes but it was too little too late. #and sloppy as hell. #But I'm playing through Ardenweald and I'm getting the same kind of very strong all-around enjoyment I got from MoP in its entirely. #The remix of Nightsong during that one walking scene is /chef's kiss #Bastion was pretty but okay #and fuck the maw and maldraxxus my eyes have had enough grimdark WoW
