World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth - Windows

It's tough for me to say whether or not World of Warcraft is worthwhile for a new player, as I've been playing off and on since the game's release (heavily for the first 3 expansions, and then hardly after that). For someone like me, though, who enjoys games with lovingly-crafted environments which encourage exploration, the new Battle for Azeroth expansion is exactly what I'm looking for. There are so many fun details packed into every corner of the world, and I'm having a great time poking around and taking my time. If you remember World of Warcraft fondly and haven't played for a while, but are willing to look beyond the fact that it's likely not anywhere close to the same game that you remember (in terms of systems, community, and activities), then I'd recommend it.

I like the new expansion, but can never do a group or dungeon. The average wait time is 17 min to over an hour on my server. I haven’t played one dungeon or group quest in about a month and I’m now level 120. I wish you could just buy the flying skill. It’s been like this for like three expansions now. I’m also disappointed, since the previous expansion that I cannot play WoW on my IMac. It is a 2011 with the best graphics for the time. I had to use bootcamp and buy windows 7 (for The newer Direct X) to play it. Overall it’s ok. I hope the next expansion is better.

Battle for Azeorth brings Warcraft back to its root sof the Alliance versus the Horde. If you haven't played recent Warcraft expansions, this game recaps the events through cutscenes and interactive quest chains, allowing you to dive right back into the lore. The gameplay mechanics have been simplified from past expansions, which makes it more accessible to new players. Content is rolling out for the game as of this review, so there is even more to experience on the way. It can take a while for it to be released, leading to some lull in the action, but you can continue to play alts or complete daily quests for rewards. It's worth picking up now to get caught up and either start or return to your journey through Azeroth.

Pros: It’s the WoW that you know and love. Lots of quests. Takes up time on boring evenings and makes you feel like you’re getting stuff done. For those returning from long ago you can auto lvl a toon to 110. This way it’s easier to jump into the new content. Cons: It’s the WoW you know and hate. It seems to take forever to get to certain meaningful quests. If you auto lvl a toon to 110 you are missing out on some of the story and sort of feel lost. And for the love of Azeroth can we please get some modern graphics. I know some people like the vintage 2005 look, but many of us have powerful gaming computers now. So Blizzard, please spend a little of the millions you’ve made on this game to improve the graphics. I mean even games on cellphones look better than WoW.

After purchasing this game I now had TWO FULL-TIME JOBS to balance. Something about WoW makes it hard to put down.

Ok, the "bad" out of the way first. The box is cheaply made. If you're a collector, this may mean something to you. Otherwise, look below. Box contents: -no dvd (just a digital code) -a Blizzard notebook -an advert about free videogames in battle.net platform(starcraft2, heartstone, wow until level 20 and hots) -another code for discounts in the blizzard store (wearables) 7th expansion for WoW and this one is pretty fun. A lot of fans asked for more faction war, and this expac delivers on that in spades! You'll get a Level 110 character boost to get you started right away if you've never played/been awhile, also great for twinking a new character. New level cap of 120. Warfront, a new 20payer coop mode, is a pretty fun PvE experience as well.

Still a fun game after all this time. Had not play in a while and finally decided to play again. It was cheaper here then the digital online. I got the hard copy mail to me. Came fast.

Fun expansion for WOW. Great for players that want to focus on a main character. Good storyline with new characters and races.
