The release of WoW's latest expansion is just ahead from hgdgsvhgvuj's blog

Although little of Shadowlands brought to mind the things that fans in the long-running MMORPG discovered to love about WoW However WoTLK Gold, there are motives to be cautiously optimistic about the game's potential. In the wake of California's state-wide lawsuit that accused Activision Blizzard of fostering a "frat boy" culture of harassment and discrimination against women, the WoW development team took a hard look at the game and began removing or altering some of its most controversial contents in the name of creating a more inclusive world. In the game's 9.1.5 patch was the first time that Blizzard listen to the players' feedback and bring about sweeping changes to unpopular systems including the possibility of being able to swap Covenants , and the elimination of Conduit Energy and other changes that make the game more accessible to players who have several characters. Blizzard set up an WoW Community Council, meant to represent a wide range of players to engage more directly with the general public as well as gather feedback. It was announced (to positive feedback from fans) in the last week that Horde as well as Alliance players will soon be able to take part in group content, breaking down a long-held barrier that existed since the game's beginning. Patch 9.2 introduced a brand-new zone, raid, and activities that are generally well-loved by players. the patch's test cycle saw Blizzard introduce a host of improvements as a result of feedback from players.


All of this is a good step in the right direction. Unfortunately, a lot of those changes (specifically regarding Shadowlands) are way too little, far too in the past. It should not take half of the lifecycle of the expansion to take in feedback from the community and then make adjustments to every single one of the systems. Ideally, those types of system shouldn't even made it into the game at all in the first instance, and wouldn't have when Blizzard had paid more attention to the feedback of its players in the months before Shadowlands' release.


The release of WoW's latest expansion is just ahead of us on April 19. What's in store for players remains to be seen however it is clear that Blizzard cannot take the same approach to the new expansion that it did for the last two years. With the time that is usually used for playtesting publically, the previous cycle of expansion releases, and also the continual issues with working from home because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic chances are high that this new expansion will not launch in 2022. Instead, it will instead come in 2023. If this is the case this would mark this is the first time within buy WoTLK Classic Gold the history of the game that an expansion has taken more than two years to arrive.
