So I Finally Hit Level 80 in the War Within... (Is it Worth Playing?)

I just hit max level in the War Within, World of Warcraft's newest expansion. Bringing with it a new villain, Xalatath, delves, new zones, dungeons and a whole lot more - the War Within has been an adventure so far. But is it worth playing and is it any good? In this video, Nixxiom dives into the depths of Azeroth to share with you all his impressions of the game so far.

So, thoughts on the War Within so far, everybody?

[quantonica]

I like the <stay a while and listen> option. You can get even more details on what is going on related to what you just did, such as Faerin talking to the arms smith about the need for a better shield as it relates to her shoulder.

[jinshensoon]

There is a time and place to criticize "wokeness" or "DEI" for bad narrative, I honestly thought that TWW had good written character that diversity actually benefited in this case. No one should complain that Metzen coming back = Green Jesus again or why is it always Anduin etc... I am actually invested in the story when the last I did so was LEGION.

Nixxiom she was reading to orphans because she was the first orphan there and she grew up in that orphanage. To her that is her family.

Small correction: YOU are too powerful because you're a DK. Try pulling 3 Elites at the same time with a Balance Druid, Hunter, Rogue, Evoker, non tank Warrior, Mage... Your class is just designed to be able to do that, whereas the majority of the classes is not. Now, don't get me wrong, the other classes are doing just fine, but their strenght isn't pulling 3 elite mobs at a time that can't be cced, they all have different areas in which they are gods.

[Frostgnaw]

Kinda feel like the Arathi aren't the brightest. They asked me, an unholy dk, to go play with orphans.

This is the first expansion in awhile that I've actually enjoyed the story. Quick leveled my two mains and am slowly lvling an alt, reading all the quest and watching all the cut scene. Good stuff.

[GrinningStudios]

Every time I pull a single mob on my balance Druid, it’s a life or death struggle. Pull 2 mobs, and my heart is racing waiting for those button cooldowns to pop. More than 2 is probably death.

I initially thought the crystal in the sky was the point of Sargeras's sword.

I think blizz really needs to do more of the WotLK Villian presentation more. You encountered the Lich King all the time throughout the leveling, dungeons and raids till Ice Crown. Even if you never played WC3, by the time you fight the Lich King, you have a connection with him. I think that was really missing for a long time.

Thank you, good sir, for acknowledging Xal'atath's feet

[gabrielfrench]

if only we went back to our class halls to have something to do with awakening hero talents

[bjen]

Faerin was reading books to orphans because she was an orphan herself

[blackoutable]

I just started Wotlk and I finaly undrstand why its best... If you try to fight 3 mobs you panic and when you get item with +1 stat it feel good

[edwinjuengel]

I love how vertical every zone is. Because we start with flying, every zone is built for it. The zones aren't ignored once you get flying. You get to enjoy it from early on without being held back.

Maybe I'm getting old, but Faerin is just so cringe! Seriously, when the general orders a fallback, she says with the most cringy voice, "No, we can't keep running away from the shadow, " and then the the General sta and listen like who is the leader here?! so just i am a leader of this group but no in this chaotic moment that i need to be a strong leader let's listen to the one-handed lady. Also!!! Are there any new male main characters anymore? It feels like every storyline I've been through lately is all about girl bosses, which is fine, but come on—it’s starting to feel a bit too soft! Everyone is always talking about their feelings, like, "If you need to talk, we're here for you." Is this World of Therapy or World of Warcraft? You killed character like Garrosh, Varian and Saurofang and replaced them with

[jimmyaguila]

Faerin was not an orphan, she was the only child in Hallowfall due to being a stowaway in the expedition ship. She was escaping from her family who saw her as a disappointment for not being a scholar, according to her, her parents would prefer her to be "locked in a library, drafting documents on economics or something".

[arcamean]

It honesty depends on what class/spec you're gonna play because my hunter has been decently fun, delves have some irritating mechanics but overall not too bad. My prot pally and guardian druid though delves feel like genuine ball aches, pally is ok but feels slightly too squishy for a plate wearer while my druid feels either godlike or paper sac depending on delv. I just had to quit the dread pit because packs of dorfs just kept bugging out literally leashing, healing and charging over and over again making me unable to progress. My personal opinion is if you've got at least one person you can rely upon to play with... go for it but if you're pure solo eh get the base version at most it's wow so you get what you expect for the most part.

[Noneya]

The "disabled black woman who saves anduin" thing is completely right though. I've watched every cutscene and read every quest text. So it isn't that I didn't play the expansion. I've leveled 7 toons to 80 so far. There is definitely a reason why they're calling it The Woke Within. Every male "important" character either dies, is incompetent, a bad guy or needs to be saved by a strong female character. Also every important person that lasts is female. The only bad female in this expansion so far is Xal. Even Thrall is a side character to a strong female character and helps her become a leader of something she has literally no business leading. It's full of woke propaganda.
