World of Warcraft: Shadowlands has been an expansion that many of us have given up on, choosing instead to play either Classic World of Warcraft, The Burning Crusade, or move on to other MMORPGs and their communities. With forgettable gameplay, a boring storyline, and an emphasis more on making political statements than making memorable and epic gaming experiences, Blizzard’s reputation has fallen into being a near-laughing stock in the gaming community as a whole. But is it all really that bad?
Recently, here on Nixxiom, we made a video called “Should We Give Shadowlands Another Chance?” which many of you were very divided on. Some supported the idea, saying that Shadowlands Patch 9.2 was one definately worth checking out and playing. Others said to just give up on World of Warcraft entirely, move on and find a new main game to play. And although there might be truth and joy to be found in both those points of view, I had to come up with a conclusion for myself. Is Shadowlands worth playing again? Recently over on my stream I decided to reinstall World of Warcraft and put this divisive expansion to the test once again. This is my story…

What do you all think? Are you playing 9.2 right now and, if so, how is it? Should I try raiding and PvP now?
What I gathered: it looks pretty, but the lore is still shit
I've hated every expansion since WotLK, including Dragonflight – The game isnt WoW anymore, its just some perverted disney saga.
giving it another chance was your first mistake…..that expansion can die a fiery death.
I bought the ultimate edition of Shadowlands and never played it 1 day.
What I want to know is: who is sitting behind you?
Handsome
Nice video! Really liked watching it!
Just started playing wow again after yearss. Haven’t played since wotlk when i was in middle school. Is it worth me coming back to play?
Nixxiom i gave it another chance lol n my opinion shadowlands is the best expansion
I quite before I even capped.
I just started levelling my Warrior again, got from 53 to 56 in an afternoon… and wow. Its total trash. It looks nice and is mechanically competent. But its just so bland. It completely fails to elicit any emotional reaction.
3.00 minutes in. Video actually starts.
I came back early September just to catch up before Dragonflight pre release drop
I stop subbing at least early 9.0 because I was not feeling this Renown system and the story was just not captivating. So after going through it all in one go….it aint bad but it definitely aint worth being locked under a Time gate. Thankfully I was able to skip all the way to 60 Renown and then your ability becomes amplified by a little enough to survive from mobs even though it took me a while to get used to the Soul Conduits system down.
Then the runecarver comes in and I definitely did not want to do it due to the heavy grinding process on being stuck in Torghast. Korthia stuff was meh and ZM was meh but I do not like the questing in ZM. Way too heinous
Shadowlands just had way too many crazy varied zones, and the story was stupid (the metaphysics shouldn't have been touched, because then it's not longer metaphysics lol). I'm really hoping Dragonflight does the trick.
dope
Shadowlands story is very easy to understand. It's all in the cutscenes. I have ADHD and my attention span is deplorable. But are people really that retarded? Harry Potter is far harder to keep up with than shadowlands
I'm still trying to figure out where to start??? Lol. I mean I'll probaly do when I came back to modern day rs3 and white knuckle everything until I could solo everything. But still, I had a lot more prior knowledge with RS than wow.
I just resubbed after quitting the week 905 came out. When I found the quests that send you back to azeroth… Man that felt good.
Ive never played shadowlands. . . they gave it to us for free. So i have 27 days to wait until Grounded 1.0 and i might be able to get some value out of 15 dollars it cost to sub up to wow.
I've played every expansion since burning crusade, and I have to say, every few years WoW also calls me home. What I love, for better or worse, is that they keep adding content. There is just so much to enjoy and explore. The end-game is not friendly to new players. But I feel like it is expected of you that you do the leveling process at the very least to get a feel for the game in order to become experienced enough to do the end-game content.
I had to stop at 4:44.. just to realise that you said Gandals and put there a picture of Dumbledore.at 4:02. sneaky nixxiom
by "bad PR", he means blizzard molests their employees and overworks them to the point of suicide. in case you forgot :3
“A random blue guy, Gandalf (shows a picture of Dumbledore) lmao I’m dead!
Whoa wait back up! Lord of the Rings Online still exists?
Wow there’s a girl behind you, you have gain 1 subscriber for actually making this video without shame
And then when ya got gear….. Your brain could yet again… turn off. q.q
handsome !:o
if i want to play shadowlands – is torgast tower a requirement?
handsome
"This is my story" looks at length of video Yeah we know how this is going to go
even if the patch was passable it's still by far the worst expansion they've ever made. Atleast in every "bad" expansion before shadowlands they still had good world design, good quests, and a main story that, while cheesy, was entertaining to see unfold. In Shadowlands they fucked all that up, they literally managed to fuck up the few things that they were consistently good at in past expansions.
Best game ever !!!!
Interesting. Nixx, I just found this vid and actually restarted Wow again like a week ago! I left before Shadowlands even launched. BFA pushed me out.. Currently playing through shadowlands, brushing up on the lore.. Not sure how I feel yet about the game..
Handsome.
Yes, yes, keep milking that blizzard teet for content.
handsome
handsome
the wildstar reference 😭💔 oh how i miss that game
I will be glad to return when the toxic players pick another game. The game I'm playing now has a very quick "Go back to WoW if you want to act like that" response, and I love it.
How do you play ffxiv? I'm just curious. I played it for a bit and ended up with a woke, stunning and brave mob chasing me around and harassing me.
Eh lore got way to weird. Honestly that’s enough to keep me away.
It's just another Tanaan, nothing interesting. Same Legion systems that everyone hates, just with the things people complained about slightly reduced, but still present and slapping you in the face. If 9.0 was getting cancer with a 50% survival rate, 9.2 is getting cancer with a 60% survival rate. Still would recommend highly against anyone playing this game unless I really disliked them and wanted to cause them pain.
I have no idea wth is going in wow right now, but I'm still playing it. It helps me to turn my brain off for a bit.
you are so full of it. you know the game will be far worse next expansion
I quit because casual pvp became impossible to enjoy. Boosters and hardcore pvpers were just running around in random BGs one or two-shotting people. I'd be curious to see if it is still terrible.
I keep coming back, but it has little do do with the current expansion. It’s because regardless of whatever game I try, Azeroth is home. Regardless of how much it changes, often times for the worst, it’s still home. It still gives me something no other game has or likely ever will.
I'm hoping they got the message from Classic and all the negative feedback for Shitlands. So far they're actually putting effort into talent trees again and professions, all which took a massive hit in this expansion. Here's to hoping.
As someone who has played a lot of shadowlands, the worst part about the expansion has been the really long patches and annoying systems (Covenant swapping, renown, conduits, player power rep grinds, legendary currency grinding etc. A lot of these issues were fixed in 9.1.5 tho). Outside of that, most of the endgame content has been fairly decent.
