First things first, for all you who will complain that this isn't Hearthstone stuff:
Lemme show you again, juuuuust to get the point across.
So. As someone who has the Beta, I've been actually enjoying the new expansion so far - obviously, it's FAR from perfect, but what do you guys think? Oh, and, what will you be maining? I'm probably going to go Monk, DH, and Warrior, but I also like Mage, Warlock, Shaman, and Hunter.
What do you wish was different? I personally just want there to be more late-game content. Sure, leveling is fun for me, but there isn't much that I look forward to with the late-game.
What disappoints you the most? In my case, I'm most disappointed by the lack of class design. They did a tremendous job for some, like Vengeance DH, BrM Monk, and Survival Hunter, for instance. But then there are things like Frost Mage. Blegh.
Honestly, I'd say the expansion is so-so. Not as good as Legion, but not awful. It's looking to be a mix of Legion and WoD - A small amount of good content, but not enough once you're past leveling.
I've been playing an Alliance Pally (currently lvl 115) Horde Rogue (lvl 114) and also leveling a Warlock on another server (lvl 91) since BFA came out. I've finished one whole zone for each of the two high levels (minus the dungeon for the Rogue which I'll probably kick out tonight) and I can say I'm enjoying the Alliance zone and quests MUCH better so far! I've mostly been a Horde player my WoW days on and off since launch.
Came back to WoW after years away only this past March so only tasted some of that content of Legion. So far in BFA not liking that they have the followers again like at the class hall. Too many followers at too many locations. IF you did everything with followers of a type you'd be doing your base from WoD, class hall and now the War effort for BFA (sorry if I get the exact names messed up). That's just TOO much in TOO many different areas. They REALLY need to consolidate if they don't turn off the previous expansions followers stuff.
I'm an alt-o-holic. So it sucks for me that they put the unlocking of races behind a litany of quests. I wanna just go and make a Void Elf already! They look super sweet! Also hate the no flying in more recent expansions (again locked behind unlocks, lame). I'm also a pvper not a raider. So I haven't really pvp'd since back in the Lich King days so not sure how that's going to work out yet. Hope it's better than it was back then. Arena gear totally beat out just BG gear and some of us just don't have the ability to go in groups (whether time or friends to do arenas with). BG gear should be on equal footing as arena just take longer to get maybe since it's solo-able.
Graphically the game has improved drastically over the original game. The new alliance zones again are gorgeous and the characters are very detailed. Yes it's not the prettiest game out there, not even close, but looks WAY better than it used to so kudos there. Again Alliance zones so far better than the Horde zones.
Overall I'm having a blast right now with the expansion. We'll see if that sticks around once I hit 120 on these toons though and complete all the zones quests.

I'll be playing alliance if anyone wants to add me! Big PvP'er. ~2300 RBG and arena exp.
