The scores turn every day tasks like quest completion into something trailer worthy. Hearing the difference between running on a stone road and snow is something that wasn’t in the game before, but should have been. Blacksmiths working on forges produce thunderous noise as they hammer hard metal, making me wonder what they’re crafting. The music heard throughout the dungeons and zones are absolutely remarkable. There’s more music and higher quality sound effects than ever before, and it’s benefited the game tremendously. What I learned more than anything is that a ton of time has gone into audio for this expansion.
The Auchindoun dungeon has great atmosphere thanks to its music.Ī few days back I watched the Behind the Scenes Documentary that’s included with Warlords of Draenor‘s Collector’s Edition. It’s easy to become lost in this new world, and that’s the best thing that can be said about anything in an MMO. There are so many sub-stories, like that of the Arakkoa in Spires of Arak, that are intriguing. I look forward to battling Grom Hellscream now that I’m more familiar with who he is.Īlso See: My Epic 10 Year Journey Summarized in 50 Screenshotsĭraenor itself is a deeply interesting place. After directly interfacing with most of them, I feel as though I have a strong grasp on what they’re about. I’ve questioned who these guys are over the years without having the motivation to read through their 20 page long WoWWiki entries. Learning more about good guys like Durotan, and bad fellas like Gul’dan has been a joy. I know it’s early to say that, but the Orc clans are simply fascinating. I absolutely loved Vanilla, Burning Crusade, and Wrath of the Lich King, but I feel like I can honestly say that the Warlords of Draenor theme is my favorite of the bunch. I’ve played World of Warcraft at every point during its lifespan. Truthfully, this means that it will be easier to encourage friends to play the game and have them stick through the leveling experience to reach level cap. It sounded intimidating when I learned that I’d be leveling from 90 to 100, but each level took about three hours on average. Players hit level cap within a day of launch. I found myself paying attention to what was going on thanks to the great delivery of cutscenes and main story missions. More importantly, how the quests are designed, and their dynamic rewards, have helped make it far more pleasant. Frostfire Ridge and Nagrand 2.0 stand out as two of the best leveling zones in World of Warcraft history. I hit level 100 on Sunday night, and was extremely happy with my experience through the 10 new levels that spanned five zones.Īlthough I had a couple issues with Spires of Arak’s design, for the most part each of the new zones are outstanding. For 10 years I have logged out in random Inns all over Azeroth. What I like most about Garrisons are that they’re a place to call home. Choosing which Garrison buildings to not only plot but what ones to level up first is a big decision that has directly impacted my game experience. Meanwhile, my Stables provide me with side content that sends me out into Draenor to tame beasts that may potentially become rideable mounts.
For example, my Tavern offers me several dungeon dailies that have provided things such as an item that boosts all my stats by 200 for two hours. The Garrison buildings have a lot of perks. Related: 10 Reasons I love Garrisons in Warlords of Draenor Amassing a list of Followers and leveling them up has made me feel like a Warchief, and that sense of leadership has been something World of Warcraft has needed for a long time. The Follower Missions alone have rewarded me with things like gold and even gear upgrades through a strategy mini-game that has quickly become a favorite of mine. However, they go well beyond what Pet Battles have done for the game. Like Pet Battles, they add side content that is both rewarding and fun to consume. After spending more than 8 hours using the feature during the past week, I can say that my fears were unfounded. When Garrisons were announced I was actually disappointed that they weren’t a standard type of player housing.
