It definitely like the overall mandate was 'make this the anti-Shadowlands' (which I haven't played).

But, you know, players will sidestep all those intended experiences to maximize efficiency (myself included, even though I purport to enjoy the immersion).Įxpansion cinematics and feature reveals always feel cool in the moment, so it's definitely a 'yeah, let's see' thing.

I mean, dream big I appreciate that the folks working on this do have those in-world narrative motivations, because the main reason I started playing WoW ages ago was so I could walk around in this world. Ideas like this always have this dreamy-eyed, immersive motivation - 'Explore the world! Have unique experiences! Tell unique stories about how you found the old man in the cave who taught you the thing!' - and then ten minutes after the game's out there's a list of coordinates on Wowhead for all spec points, and then thirty minutes later there's an add-on that organizes those coordinates into a toggleable map overlay and hooks into TomTom to give you a guided tour on all the points you need to hit to become the minimal baseline crafter. What's realistically going to happen is that anyone who hasn't farmed up all of the spec points won't be given the time of day by people looking to have items crafted. Finding spec points in the world sounds like a bad idea for this game.

When will wow legion ptr come out
