I do think it's weird that if they haven't done the story quests, they're gated from a lot of things that come out of the story quests or unlock because of them. So, for example, they just launched, was it yesterday or the day before, the story mode raid thing, which is really just the last thing.

some lead up quests and then the last encounter of the raid the current raid yeah yeah but done in a kind of a story way almost like follow a dungeon way it's not hard it's just cool to see it mechanically and everything and there's some story there but um my my beef with all of that was well a i would like to see more of this and see the entire raid that way would be fun um

I think I understand why not, though. That's a massive ton of content. It will take people a long time. They'd probably rather have you LFR in there anyway for that. But what was my point? I had a point that I was heading to there. Boy, what a great point it was I had going. It must have been really important. I think I was making the point that I'm going through all that.

Oh, I can't do that on alts until they have also maxed out the main campaign story. Yeah. Yep. That's a little lame, especially it only feels lame because you're giving me all this other shared stuff through war bands.

And then this one thing you're like, no, I'm sorry. You got to go do, you know, got to go hang out with thrall and Anduin and everybody and do their crap.

Yeah. But I mean, honestly, I have to say I'm impressed with how much, how many of the systems do jive now because wow, for its entire history has always felt disjointed in that way. It's just like, oh, I don't have enough rep on this character. So I got to go redo all these things. The fact that they're sharing so much of what they do share, I should really be grateful.

So trying to be more thoughtful about that stuff. Speaking of story, let's talk about it. A lot of stuff missing in early access. Again, not my favorite thing about it, but once things kicked off, I really like where everything went. One real strength at this time versus previous efforts.

Although I shouldn't say this has always been true, but it feels like when somebody's got a text bubble above their head and you talk to them and they do the stay a while and listen thing. It's usually fine, but it uses an ad much for me in the past. This expansion has so many amazing dialogue moments between characters. You just have to click them and listen.

And I am telling you out there, do not skip those. Even like the final one with Anduin and Thrall up on the hill. Maybe the best one. It's great. And what they do leading to that is pretty great. But when it's done and you do the optional thing, that it actually really gets great.

And I'm torn as to whether that's good or not, that people aren't, not forced, but they're not going to get that unless they make a choice to do that. And some people choose not to do it based on previous experience. Like, no, these aren't ever that good. I don't want to sit and listen to them talk. Or often it's not voiced in the past, right? It's usually just text bubbles.

but these are voiced and they're incredibly well done. And they add so much context to the story. Like that's how I did the story this time. I listened to everything, read everything like super, super into it. And I think they're killing it. I think this is the best it's been in a long while. You know, you still have a lot of questions and loose ends.
