The content in World of Warcraft is still fresh, but soon a drought period will arrive. We will reveal how you will handle the content drought.
In World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, a content drought is looming. It will still be a few months until the release of the next expansion Shadowlands – after all, the beta has not started yet. We wanted to know a few days ago how you deal with the content drought and received numerous responses from you. Here is now the evaluation of how you will handle the content shortage in WoW.
Only 4% hope for the Shadowlands Beta
This point in the survey particularly surprised us. Only 4% of you indicated that you hope to get into the WoW: Shadowlands beta during the content drought. A beta is always a great event and gives – more or less – exclusive insights into the future of World of Warcraft.
Many contents can thus be played and tested before release, and player feedback could help guide the developers down another path. But apparently, only 4% of you are eager to be a part of this process.
Why is that? Isn’t the Shadowlands setting appealing to you, or do you want to avoid spoiling the contents that will come in the future? You may feel free to answer that in the comments. You can find the registration for the Shadowlands Beta here.
Play WoW Classic in the meantime
Every 10th of you has indicated that you will simply fill the content drought of World of Warcraft with another game – namely with even more World of Warcraft! You simply switch to WoW Classic and play the retro version of the MMORPG in the meantime. This is also tactically smart, as WoW Classic will release new content like Zul’Gurub, Ahn’Qiraj, or later Naxxramas in the coming months.
So there are plenty of “fresh” contents to experience. Perfect for nostalgia fans and everyone who wasn’t present live when these contents were still considered current content.
Catch up on old content (Transmogs, Achievements, Pets)
Even more players, namely 13%, are using the content drought to take a look at old content at leisure and finally tackle unfinished business. Various types of content, such as collecting transmog gear in old raids, obtaining achievements and their respective rewards, or simply collecting and leveling battle pets are on the agenda.
After all, the content drought is the perfect time to complete such content, as there is no “mandatory program” to chase to keep up with the current equipment level. Although you still have to upgrade the legendary cloak every week, it only takes a few minutes.
So writes Angela Ziegler on Facebook:
There’s so much to do … finally a little time in-game to actually play the game and not always have to chase something to keep up with others. I’m looking forward to the 7 months and then the new addon 🙂
We have a few of the hardest achievements listed here.
Rank 3: Playing Twinks and preparing for Shadowlands
Exactly 15% of you have other plans for the content drought and are turning to twinks and secondary characters. Now there is enough time to bring all chars to level 120 (before they are then reduced to level 50). This way, with the launch of Shadowlands, you can look back on a large repertoire of characters and choose the main character that you like best.
Luke Gaier writes about this on Facebook:
Oh, with 18 level 120s and some twinks there’s still plenty to do in 7 months 🙂 And if not, I’ll just take a quick look in-game and say “Hello” to the guild.
René Weiland is pursuing such a goal:
I play much slower anyway and almost always alone. So there’s enough time to catch up. I will also level/equip twinks, collect achievements/transmogs/mounts/pets and skill professions.
It’s not exciting for many, but there’s always something to do.
Rank 2: Continue playing and improving the main character
Completely undeterred by the content drought are a solid 21% of our readers. They have stated that they will simply continue to play their primary character and continuously improve it. After all, there are various ways to gain additional levels for the Heart of Azeroth or strong items with corruption effects to squeeze out a few more percent of performance from the character.
Even the most difficult challenges, such as Ny’alotha on mythic, still pose a great hurdle for most players that needs to be overcome.
Rank 1: Play another game
The largest group of you, namely 29%, will turn their backs on World of Warcraft during the content drought and use the time elsewhere. After all, there are many other games that need to be played at last.
In the comments, you repeatedly mentioned titles that are already on the waiting list and need to be played through. From single-player titles to other MMOs or online shooters, there was everything.
- Many are waiting for Borderlands 3, which will soon be released on Steam
- The remake of Final Fantasy VII is also highly anticipated
- But some Zelda titles also want to be played
After all, it’s also somehow liberating to get away from an MMORPG for a few months – isn’t it?
