WoW

Even with all the hours players spent in the Shadowlands alpha and beta tests, you can't entirely see the impact of some game systems until the entire player base has a chance to explore it.

World of Warcraft is a game with a lot of content, and at max level players have a lot of activities to pursue.

I finally upgraded my legendary, and there are parts of the process I like -- like farming for Soul Ash in Torghast, that part I enjoy as long as I don't do the Chorus of Dead Souls, that I hate.

The time has come for many of us to level our alts, as Shadowlands is entering the lull period where we have accomplished most of what 9.0 had to offer to our mains and are eagerly waiting for 9.1 -- or we're simply in the mood for a change of pace.

There's a bunch of fun World Quests in Shadowlands that don't quite fall into the usual gameplay dynamics.

If you're a TTRPG nerd like myself, the most exciting announcement at this year's BlizzConline might well be that the folks at Critical Role will be running a Diablo-themed one-shot for the convention this year.

Honestly I can't think of any reason I'd change from Night Fae on my Nelf Warrior -- I like the AOE DPS of Ancient Aftershock, and I enjoy the story  and how it interacts with my character and the past couple of expansions.

Remember Volcor?

Valor Points have returned to address the difficulty of gearing up in Mythic Keystone dungeons by letting players upgrade gear — but even with these changes, quite a few World of Warcraft players were concerned by the relative paucity of loot drops in raids.

Do you love the Maw and wish you had more things to do while you're spending time there?
