healing was dumb because there was no mana management, apart from on some gimmick hard modes

Icecrown has my mains, but these queue times are insane, I was 1127 a little over an hour ago.

Its literally so good Game of Normies has to rip their story off from it.

It was great since it was the expansion that finally took steps to make raiding skill-based

MoP is still the pinnacle of WoW, though.

>>389574553
ofc man best pvp ever
pandaria second for sure

>>389574553
Wrath was just whent he majority of kids started playing, so the percentage of people who think its "the best expansion" is higher and so you see more discussion and people claiming it.

TL;DR youre a faggot ass wrathbabby who got into WoW because you saw it on South Park.

>>389574553
It was fun, but it was also where the balance between Anti frustration and Casualisation started to tip to casuals.
Badge loot turned from supplementing heroics and early raids into welfare top end raid tier.
dungeon finder turned from a notice board into a brainless autofinder
Heroics turned from difficult and requiring management up until BT and Sunwell gear to brainless facerolls
Flying mounts were treated as just another thing, rather than an implementation to be specifically designed around
hand held PVP got even more pandered too, which killed world PVP even further
Factions became utterly meaningless since by the time you could earn their decent gear you'd be mostly geared up in epics anyway

It did have some nice quests and a brilliant cinematic though.

>>389575816
>Heroics turned from difficult and requiring management up until BT and Sunwell gear to brainless facerolls
at least they tried to introduce a couple of more difficult heroics in the ICC patch

>>389574553
For expansions it was Burning Crusade as the Vanilla content was still useful and actually needed in Raid farming.
Vanilla was the peak of WoW at the point where the world was it's established point and height of usage. Every "expansion" nullifies the world before it, therefore not really expanding upon the world. Just shrinking the map size each time and making excuses. Cataclysm tried to bring back old world content, but didn't realized what made that great and instead destroyed it all in a pyre to wipe the image of the old development team.

The slave Pit one had some nice bosses, but the others were just more of the same but with higher stats.
Magister's terrace was a difficulty spike done right

BC and Wotlk were the only expansions where I would start to play and not once get bored. Pve was fun Arena was fun Battlegrounds were fun fuck even world Pvp was fun.

Nah. MoP and Legion are better in terms of content, but for its time, it was easily the best on the market.

WoTLK endgame was Daily quests, daily dungeons, and raiding. The flavor was good, the dificulty was a bit light, and ultimately while it set the standard, I don't think it did it the best. I'm enjoying Legion more than WoTLK currently, and I've been hopping between retail and Lordaeron for the last year.

no wotlk was shit. Nothing to do outside of raiding unless you consider 3 daily quests for a fishing pole or a 1% chance for a green drake.

heroic was a cake walk

out of the first 3 raids 2 of them was 1 room with 1 dragon boss in it and the other was a copy pasted vanilla raid

ulduar was sick as fuck but introduced lore elements that would eventually turn wc3 into warhammer 40k

rest of the expansion was a cluster fuck with LFR being introduced and epic gear dropping in piss easy "heroics" and even normals

That would be BC since it was still vanilla when that episode aired.

Wrath was the best the game had ever been, and was the first time the game went from 'pretty good' to fantastic.

TBC was fucking garbage. Ugly zones, stupid lore (Lol Kaelthas is super evil now guise XDDD) and the sheer cancer that was Blood Elves and Draenei, both of whom were retconned so fucking hard it wasnt even funny.

Wrath was when the lore went from shit-tier to god-tier. The raids were great, if somewhat easy to start with. Ulduar is the best raid ever made, before or since. ToC wasnt as bad as a lot of people say, the bosses were still unique and I personally enjoyed how I didnt have to deal with trash pulls in between each one.

Then Arthas was a great villain, Death Knights were fun as fuck, Wintergrasp was a really cool clusterfuck PvP zone, and the quests in Northrend were 10/10.

Then Cata went and shit all over everything and the fun train stopped.

Elysium is actually really fun to play.

But /v/ still hates it.

What happened?

I've never played, but from what others have said over the years, isn't this basically the general consensus?

Cataclysm was the best the game had ever been, and was the first time the game went from 'pretty good' to fantastic.

WotLK was fucking garbage. Ugly zones, stupid lore (Lol Arthas is super evil now guise XDDD) and the sheer cancer that was Death Knights and Paladins, both of whom were retconned so fucking hard it wasnt even funny.

Cataclysm was when the lore went from shit-tier to god-tier. The raids were great, if somewhat easy to start with. BWD is the best raid ever made, before or since. BoT wasnt as bad as a lot of people say, the bosses were still unique and I personally enjoyed how I didnt have to deal with trash pulls in between each one.

Then Deathwing was a great villain, Warriors were fun as fuck, Tol Barad was a really cool clusterfuck PvP zone, and the quests in Hyjal were 10/10.

Then MoP went and shit all over everything and the fun train stopped.

>>389579064
story, world design, gear design, character writing, pvp

>>389574553
Not much to do in WoTLK though. HCs were useless and raids were easy and short.

To me Legion, MoP, start of Cata and WoTLK and TBC are the best expansions so far.

All of them have been good apart from WoD and maybe Cata.

Cata is weird, I think they put to much time into the old world and cut too much from max level.

WoD is what a very bad bad bad expansion looks like.

No content.

Wotlk didn't introduce the Naaru, it's story is automatically better than TBC

Wotlk didn't turn Kaelthas evil in the dumbest way possible, it's character writing is automatically better than TBC

Wotlk didn't try to balance everything around 2v2, it's pvp is automatically better than TBC

Besides the pandaren part, I thought MoP was a really good expansion too. I can't give many specific reasons but it just FELT good

>>389580027
It was really fun for the week they were using a working core

Wrath had best raiding, before they finally killed off double lockouts and made 27 different difficulties that trivialized the sense of achievement
BC had best 5 mans, before they added group finder, killed off the threat mechanic, and turned the gameplay into something more like super smash bros.
Vanilla had best pve & pvp, before they killed off server communities by making transfers trivial, where the gameplay emerged 'organically' because you had to go figure out the best way to gather money and mats and shit yourself instead of just mindlessly doing dailies or instances. 40 man raids were also way cooler than 25m raids conceptually, even if the actual complexity of the encounters was low and the difficulty was mostly from lacking gear or just finding hopefully 40 people who weren't retarded and keeping them together long enough for you to clear content before your thunderfury-wielding tank got sniped by a bigger guild. vanilla was mostly fun because everything was so chaotic and unbalanced. even days-long AV matches with arcane explosion suicide bombing and shit while trash talking each other on irc was great.

Barely remember anything after wrath, honestly. Cata was easily the worst expansion, even if the 5 man content was pretty fun before they nerfed the shit out of it. MoP was even more forgettable. WoD was like a half-remembered dream.

Legion is probably the best expansion since wrath. They still managed to fuck a lot of shit up though.

I was instrumental along with one other individual in catching one of the most nefarious villains on the server which involved tying up multiple plot points relatively centrifugal to a few guilds. Yeah it was RP, but fuck you, it was fun and the culmination of of more than a few months of stories.

yeah dumb shit that isn't inherent to their size. you still had complex encounters. like razorgore as horde, at least the way we did it was hilarious; mages running clockwise around the room aggroing spawns with fire blast and kiting them around earthbind totems like a carousel. even c'thun or four assholes or kel'thuzad were pretty hard. and for thaddeus all you needed was one retard or shitter with unreliable connection to fuck the entire raid over. etc. what made raiding in vanilla so grueling was how all the loot was RNG and the bosses barely dropped anything so you needed to farm for months to progress even a little, never mind the bullshit that was the warrior set in naxx and how many guilds that killed by stealing their MTs. and of course the need to farm like 10 stacks of 20 different types of stacking consumables for every raid. that's not even mentioning the world buffs.

point is, you can have hard content with 40 people. they just killed 40ms prematurely because they though making raids for that many people was too hard or something

>>389583360

>>389582840
>Wrath had best raiding
Top kek.

The first tier of raids; naxx and EoE in wrath were so badly undertuned I almost quit. And then there's ToC and the Ruby what?

The only saving grace of raiding in wrath was Ulduar. Even ICC was mostly forgettable apart from a few fights.

>>389574553
...Yes. But I think it's more of a case of Cataclysm irreversibly shitting up the game mechanics for future expansions than it is any deficiency on Mist's part.

>>389583936
>>389583026
>>389582840
40 people might feel epic, but honestly it was never ever worth the fucking effort of getting 40 people come to raids evening after evening. That's a ridiculous amount. The later raids they did with 20 or 15 were much more doable, and the flex size they have now is really nice.

Ok I agree with you on world design/pvp, but wow what were you hallucinating in the other things you mentioned?

>story

Hell fucking no, Ulduar- ok interesting but vanilla had just as good old gods lore with AQ 20 and AQ 40 so its even there. But even a group of no name adventurers killing one of the most powerful being in WoW lore was a fucking travesty. And whats funny is Tirion somehow was key in the victory over Arthas yet gets ass raped killed by a no name demon in the broken shore intro it makes no sense at all. Lets not even get start on the whole "There Must Always Be a Lich King" bullshit motto...the whole reason that was added was so blizzard could have another Northrend expansion in the future.

>character writing

Not really sure what you mean by this but the only memorable character writing to me was the entire DK starting zone quest chain everything else felt the same to me.

>gear design

Absolutely not, Wotlk had 0 memorable set pieces for any class. Go look at Warlock tier 4-6 every single one of them were amazing. The only classes that had lackluster tier sets during TBC were Paladins.Shamans and Priest all the other classes had great or above average looking sets.

Suramar is definitely the best zone but you can't ignore that Stormheim, Suramar, and Highmountain are thoroughly connected to the Legion, plus both zones they've added since then - and even then Azsuna has quite a bit of Legion fuckery.

>>389580992
>Story is boring, the zones don't really focus on the LEGION but more on their personal problems

that's because they tried that with WoD and look at how shit it was. We had no clue about the history or the feeling of each individual zone of Draenor because the moment you stepped in, everyone started endlessly squawking about the Iron Horde and didn't shut up until we finally got to Tanaan, where everyone started screeching about the Demonic Horde.

>>389585940
>WotLK story was bad

Not that anon, but no way. It's a real shame they cut out Azjol'Nerub, but in particular Zul'Drak/Grizzly Hills, Storm Peaks, and Icecrown's stories were really well told.

Wasn't all that great. Don't know why people even like Arthas. He jobbed all throughout the expansion.
>be random asshole

>Arthas shows up

>doesn't

>repeat this exact interaction another 10 times while leveling up to 80

Unsubbed when they announced that retarded arena "raid." First time I let my sub lapse since I started playing in '05. Admittedly, much of the shit that ruined WotLK was put in place during TBC (dailies, shit ton of rep grinds, a queue for literally everything you can do in the game, gutting old BGs, etc) but it was new enough during TBC that I didn't realize how shit it all was. It was also the first expansion to heavily phase entire areas of zones which is what basically destroyed the game in Cata. TBC did a little of this but nowhere near to the extent Wrath did.

This is why Suramar worked so well - it's effectively the story of an occupied city/people, WWII style, the Legion is in the background as the enabler, but the people you focus on are the collaborators and the opposition. It's nice.

>>389586131
They wanted the player to see the villain in WotLK after in TBC you only saw Illidan once during the Netherwing quest chain. Obviously they overdid it.

I liked how they handled Deathwing at least in Cataclysm. He'd just decimate entire zones at random from time to time and he only appeared during a few quests.

>>389585978
Suramar and Highmountain, sure. Stormheim to an extent. And of course Broken Shore and Argus. Imo it just wasn't enough. I felt more Legion presence in the pre-launch event when they were opening portals and dropping into our towns and we had NPCs and junk fight with us but throughout most of the zones, the Legion itself never felt very threatening or as big as it was supposed to until Argus, which is rumored to be the last major content patch. It shouldn't of taken that long to feel its effects

That's not Mists of Pandaria

Most kino trailer

>>389586464
They did do the opening portals after a while, but you're right - the invasions should absolutely have happened over ALL of Azeroth, not just the Broken isles. Actually threatening something beloved like Valley of the Four Winds or Dun Morogh or whatever would've been great.

My personal rankings
WotLK>TBC>Legion>Pandaland>Cata>>>>WoD

>>389579064
It became fun just to play your character again. Compare BC fire mage with WotLK fire mage: one is very clearly a whole lot more fun and varied than the other.

>>389581352
>playing alli

nigga, the only time alli was worthwhile to play was during WOD when every man for himself was OP. Otherwise everyother point in the game horde has had better lore, quests, racials and players.

>>389586732
If there's anything I really miss it's Frostfire mage, which lasted into Cata

shit was fun

>>389586515
>best written expansion easily
>gets shit on by the same kids who couldn't have skinny belf males because pandas xd

such a shame

>>389586193
Not just that, but Val'sharah is the only zone that doesn't have some lead up to the Legion as a whole, as it's exclusively centered around Xavius and the Emerald Nightmare.

Azuna has Azshara show up to claim the Tidestone to hand it off to the Legion

Highmountain had the Bloodtotem tribe attempting to claim the Hammer of Khaz'goroth by infiltrating the reunification of Highmountain tribes (but failed because the drogbar outed them)

Stormheim had Skovald challenge Odyn for the Aegis of Aggrimar, only to be bested by the player.

So the Legion _is_ present in most of the zone's story, but it's not the main focus of each zone. Of course the person i replied to would have known that had they payed any attention to the story as they were leveling instead of just rushing through to the end and complained that we didn't do anything regarding the Legion until Broken Shore.

this shit is fucking fantastic

>>389580176

No but I think it's in the right direction.

>Great zones.
>World quest are fun and break up the monotiny of dailies.
>Crafting much better than the last 2 expantions.

Only thing I want to know is how fucking artifact weapons are going to work in the future. Like, we just all gonna keep Doomhammer and shit? I think it was a bit interesting but the fact they gave everyone actual weapons used by the main characters is creating problems.

>>389574553
you're being nostalgic. There was fuck all to do other than farm professions or farm rep.
