The developers of World of Warcraft admit that they disappointed many expectations with Warlords of Draenor. Legion is supposed to do everything better.
In Legion, there will always be something to do
When players are asked about their experiences in Warlords of Draenor, opinions are divided. While many players praise numerous innovations – such as the cutscenes or the garrison – others are rather dissatisfied. However, most agree on one thing: At max level, there was very little to do. And what could be done was usually relatively monotonous. Especially the jungle of Tanaan did not deliver what it promised and was not much more than a big grindfest.
The developers see it the same way. PCgamesN spoke with game designer Luis Barriga.
“We all play the game ourselves. If our fans notice something, we usually notice it too. (…) Warlords of Draenor was not fundamentally a bad expansion. But in terms of things to do and the patch cycle – we simply did not do enough. That is something we will change with Legion. There will always be something to do.”
With this, Barriga is referring to world quests or the “Mythic+” dungeons that become increasingly challenging.
“I played the beta a lot myself and still always have something to do. We are looking forward to it and combining that with a very aggressive plan for releasing patches to avoid long content droughts.”
While many employees are feverishly working on the release of Legion, some developers are already putting their efforts into patch 7.1, which is not expected to take long to arrive. Before the first “drought” appears, there should already be new things to do.
