Battle For Azeroth

We are diverse human beings, with diverse opinions.

I think around the time my second new character hit 120 was when I started to realize how much I hate having to grind up Azerite for my Heart of Azeroth.

With the arrival of Zul'Gurub in WoW Classic on April 15, I'm having a great time going through all my screenshots of that raid and remembering when it was current.

We're pretty deep into the Visions of N'zoth patch -- Ny'alotha has been raided, we've braved the depths of N'zoth's nefarious visions for Orgrimmar and Stormwind, and we've fought off his minions in Uldum and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

There is very little I enjoy more than an in-depth study of World of Warcraft and its narrative. Battle for Azeroth has been a fascinating case study in how a game's story can simultaneously impress and upset me -- it's entirely possible I just wasn't emotionally ready for the sheer devastation we've seen as the Fourth War unfolded, and watching as we go into Shadowlands without a resolution to the traumatic events of that conflict has at times felt disconcerting.

I think about World Quests in World of Warcraft a lot.

I've been thinking a lot about what N'Zoth fate in patch 8.3 means for World of Warcraft going forward.

Battle for Azeroth has certainly not been all things to all people.

We've reached the end of Battle for Azeroth without a clear resolution.

I really haven't liked my professions for several expansions -- I think the last time I really enjoyed crafting in World of Warcraft was during The Burning Crusade, if only because that was when I made my Lionheart Executioner.
