i decide to stop watching crapy criitics by youtubers,and i'l enjoy the game big love wow team
Yeah, I absolutely hate fighting a timer. It bores me and it crashes strategy every time. I prefer difficulty but it’s controllable.
Bellular's cycle Pre-release: The game is great! Post-release: They only need to keep this up! X.1: I am worry X.2: Where it went wrong REPEAT
That's literally been Wow's cycle since Cata released.
Except DF has been extremely well received
That would describe most of the WoW fanbase.
@@jamesjones4651 Thankfully wasn't the case for me, I finish new content then quit until new patch/expansion is up.
He has to, he has no Real Job besides "Content Creating". So he needs to Hype everybody up, so they'll Click his Videos. Same Asmon and other will do. Then the Game releases and everybody sees What the Game really is. One to two Months later, game dead Again.
Surprised Bellular is the only youtuber not spoiling the story in the title/thumbnail
thats cuz romsey wasnt there
I'd imagine he doesn't feel the need for clickbait ishh
Thanks for not putting spoilers in title. Professionalism is much appreciated. Edit: This isn't sarcasm.
clicks I've played the war within ALPHA!!! complains about spoilers lol
Sarcasm detected
Yep. I got kinda furious when I saw T&E episode title. And I watched Tali explaining how it's not really a spoiler, because blizzard doesn't hide it... But I didn't know alpha news will drop today, so even if I wanted to avoid spoilers like that I was robbed of the choice simply by going to youtube frontpage. And I don't even subscribe to their channel!
I'm just gonna comment about how this comment sounds sarcastic even though the commenter has already said that they weren't being sarcastic.
Why should the spoilers bother you? What’s interesting isn’t what’s spoiled but how the story got to those parts.

im glad they are adding delves and world quests to the vault for us casuals to have something to look forward to the vault we are no longer denied.
As far as i remember from the blizzcon,delves and all of world content like events,dailys,wqs and so on are part of the "world" vault section
delves????? demon elves?
Why are you looking forward to the vault if you’re a casual? What do you need the gear for if you’re not playing any difficult content?
@@ChinnuWoW A goal, like everyone else
@@ChinnuWoW perhaps, with delves, they could add some growing difficult content to solo, i will greatly appreciate that, but the "thorgast power up" gameplay isn't really promising...
I really hope that the story is a sharp contrast to how feel good DF is.
no, it is full soymode. There is even a damn spider filter that turns all spiders into crabs so it isnt too spoopy.

Yeah. And it fucking sucked.
Shadowlands was better.
@@dreamseeker9207 you're entitled to your horribly wrong opinion, I suppose.
I really want war bands to one day function in the similar way that the NPC follower dungeons currently function. In that, it would be nice to be able to group my own characters together into a party and have the NPC AI drive the other four characters during things like delves and five-man dungeons. I also hope that it’s useful from a leveling standpoint. For instance, it would be really cool to be able to create five characters in one go, and then level all five of them from level one to the cap all the way through, and even cooler, to be able to hot swap between them in-game seamlessly. Ultimately, I think war bands is the thing with the most potential.
I like everything except the " For instance, it would be really cool to be able to create five characters in one go, and then level all five of them from level one to the cap all the way through".
SWTOR actually had seamless solo instances for players back in like 2012 when they launched. The class quests often took you into solo instances of buildings, caves, etc. The flashpoints (their dungeons) did have loading screens, though.
wish they would test privately and release the game to us blind, it would be so much more exiting to play a game not knowing every detail of what to do and how to do it before it even comes out.
Dont watch the videos? No one forced you to look up content
That would take too long. Easier to just source from the players, and increase the amount of feedback.
Yeah but Bellular will lose money An entire community is ok with data mining and spoiling it shows how bad the state of the game is
"Definitely feels like walking through a fog door in dark souls, it feels slick" *Shows footage of the Enter button not working multiple times, then frame lag as it opens* Dont worry though, I KNOW it's a testing phase, I just find it funny.
Delves need to have more allies to choose from than merely Brann, preferably from non-Elf Horde races. Not everyone likes to run around with a Dwarf.
Great Video, Thanks! Looking forward to information about Professions and how crafting will work since there was a major change to that in DF.
I liked the "knock one out over lunch time" lol
The Delves should also reward M+ like rewards like the possibility for mythic track gear in the vault. They really shouldn't limit it if they're serious about it as end-game. Just make that tier of it more challenging on par with M+ that provides myth track in the vault.
Looking forward to this. Dragonflight wasn’t bad (a huge step up from shadowlands) but something just didn’t grab me and I left after reaching max level.
Maybe the fact that there’s nothing fulfilling to do.
@@ChinnuWoWto you there isn’t. What the fuck do you want? There’s so much to do
Thats too bad. Raids and the M+ experience alone were the best theyve been in a long long time and theres a ton of random open world junk to do
@@wm1573 Maybe some solo challenges akin to Mage Tower and Horrific Visions? Or something actually interesting to do outside of raiding and M+? All the outdoor content they've added is impossible-to-fail garbage. Don't tell me you feel a sense of fulfilment after doing world quests. Hopefully delves will be great. Looking forward to that.
@@thatepicwizardguy After doing raids for several expansions, they don't feel innovative at all anymore. It's always the same types of mechanics presented in a different way. I've always hated M+. The timer is stupid. The challenge should be just to clear the dungeon. Why should there be a rush? The "open world junk" is just junk, that's why it's not fun.
I wish Blizz did this for leveling: Replace all "kill X" quest with "collect X" quest WHILE adding harder mobs that drop more quest items than regular mobs. This makes sure casuals can faceroll as they do while others can get a shortcut that's actually challenging.
RBGs if its got a return on conquest even on losses it'd incentivize more players to partake sustaining more of a casual playerbase
9:00 what kind of weapon illusion is that ? looks good
Delves look really fun and hopefully bridge the gap between people who enjoy doing solo/world content with those that prefer to do group content like raiding and M+. Myself for instance I feel comfortable doing harder tier content but I don't enjoy everything involved with doing so with a group of players.
Did you hear about the filter, that you can't see any spiders? I like that.
@BellularGaming I dont know if you have purposedly slowed down the pace in which you talk but i appreciate it. I feel less stressed listening
Let's go! More content
I actually like the weird food/flavor analogy you made. Dragonflight is, well, sweet.
Man im so happy for wow, my life is really taking out this year and i feel wow is doing the same. I hope this last for several years.
At the end of the day, we all just want the best for WoW. ❤
Reminder: still no solo challenges since BFA 8.3
@@ChinnuWoW what is solo challenges, you mean like delves? I really dont know i started playing in blizz in Shadowlands.
Mage tower@@danielantonioginartemilane1658
This is impressive I was not expecting them to put this much effort into it.
I seriously hope they add class-specific gear form old raids to warbound transmog gain. That was what initially had me excited as I hate seeing all the cool gear and not getting it cus I'm on the wrong class. would also make "getting all the transmog" actually a goal one could reasonably work towards without it being an extreme timesink.
Any chance of us getting pandaren druid in or before The war within?
Stopped playing wow after a few months of dragonflight. I will be playing this expansion as I always do but I just hope they are able to keep me playing. Feels like the expansions start off good but I just end up losing interest. Same thing with every expansion. Legion was the last expansion I really enjoyed.
This . I actually stopped playing around January or February of 23.
how about if you stop buying their crap so they will need to actually improve the game?
@@alejandrohayling8381 or how about dragon flight wasn't that bad and I enjoyed it thus why I played it ?
Snap! I quit before 10.1
@@elliekim6666 it was a rainbow expansion where you fought a bunch of things we never heard of and made no sense at all, also, another new area that is instanced taking us farther from our world again, the only good thing about it was talents, otherwise, the same crap as always only more disney
I can't even think about war within, pandaria remix got me pumped..
I hope delves works out. Sometimes I'm tired and solo old raids or dungeons. This would be wonderful for the game. And like he said, good for testing your character, other than only dungeons.
I really hate leveling difficulty being little more than sleep walking through the content. If Blizzard wants to make leveling more than a pointless introductary time sinc, they need to make leveling a serious gaming experience.
yeah levelling shoukld be a challenge and not a close eyed levelling
100%
Dungeons will be required for leveling in tww, so it's a little step-up in difficulty 🙂
base leveling content should feel like a friendly pick up game with your mates, not the deciding game of the NBA finals. its sad when the average wow cries when its not the championship game 24/7. that gets exceedingly more tiresome quicker than "sleep walk content".
When you have people in quest greens, and others in heroic/mythic raid gear that is 100 ilvls higher, I don't see how that would be possible unless they put gear scaling back into the open world.
Can't wait to lvl with my friends in single-player dungeons!
I loved that they are adding solo que BGs, Devs have said over years, that making Arenas was their biggest regret, due to being so hard to balance over each season.
I actually loved torghast powers, the only problem was that they were in torghast. It’s nice to see that the powers get a chance to come back now
Tonally correct (feels like WarCraft), with follow through (no random red herrings that mean nothing). The story could be the most standard RPG story-been-told ever. If it's on tone and there is follow through, it's good enough. Shouldn't be asking for just "good enough" but here we are. Edit: I really hope Delves don't end up just being "more numbers" as they increase in difficulty. That is SO boring. They already have stuff like M+ affixes, just expand on that idea (please don't implement affixes into delves). Plunderstorm is a good thing to take inspiration from - skillshots and things you can avoid or interact with.
I sort of wished WoW had adopted the GW2 WvW system but for horde vs alliance, or whatever they would want to do now. An often active map that lets you get solid rewards and plays in a large group with objectives.
That'd be f'ing awesome.
GW2 did a lot of things right
ESO has a similar system to delves. In ESO delves are called delves and they function exactly like WoW delves except ESO delves have been in ESO for 10 years.
Too bad to play those you have to play ESO, which feels like complete garbage
@@skylerallen7256 Is is a fine game gameplay wise. But its a completely different world and lore to Warcraft, which is what some of us are here for.
Yeah it's in ESO. That's the problem
@@Shedovv i love MMOs, I love Elder Scrolls, but the gameplay and combat feel clunky and unresponsive in ESO
ESO delves are literally just public instances with a single boss at the end. You enter the delve, just mindlessly rush to boss, get the kill and get out. Sometime they involve a single quest, but that's it. Don't compare it to what WoW has introduced.
food analogy, amazing analogy
Horrific visions were a GREAT model. More peoole=more enemy health= CAN avoid super punishing mechanics, even using cheater add-ons that mark everything for you, it was still Challenging AF if you chose it to be
My biggest hope for Warbands is that we can use our alts for the follower dungeons. I am finding the more info I heard about Delves the more I am liking them. I thought Choregast was going to be THE thing from Shadowlands and ended up hating them. I haven't felt this excited for an expansion since Legion
I was excited for Dragonflight to get away from Shadowlands, and then very impressed by a lot of the QoL changes to the core game and now that has reinvigorated my excitement to see War Within
This feels like a patch with a new zone , not a NEW EXPANSION, I mean come on now...
The “Character” he speaks of at the start is Mankrik. He just got remarried after finally finding love again all these years later. He is allergic to one of the ingredients in his wedding cake and kicks the bucket :(
I actually really liked dragonflight and it was nice to get a more calmer expansion. I thought it was really well done and just what wow needed, and now I'm excited for war within!
the real question is this.. as a X ret pally main that is unsub, is the pally good again and is it enough to bring me back?? im a old school pally player are the heros specs for ret good??
Just sub for a month and see if you like it
I’m feeling pretty optimistic about TWW. I dropped off at MoP, came back for the second half of DF. As a classic wow prodigal I think it’s important to remember that it’s hard as hell to keep a game alive this long. I’m no blizzard Stan by any means but I’m looking forward to seeing this next step forward
DF for me was pretty good, but I hated the story and environments. They're nice, just kinda boring. Hopefully this is a bit edgier
@@hobosnake1 totally agree
Seems it doesnt drop you straight in that zone. Ian said there will be an untested intro event.
they should make all mobs smart ai with s moveset and cds like the arathi comp stomp. that would make pve lvling open world dope
All I need is for Manduin to get his light back.
**PRIEST LEGENDARY INCOMING**
Any thoughts of Holy Paladin?
Delves should be like Mythic+ in the sense that it gets endlessly harder but without timers. There should be a tier 25 Delve.
This looks like it will be the best expansion ever. I love PvP and primarly doing BGs, mostly solo queing... we have been starving for more of them for years. So excited about seeing new BGs AND never having to go into a dungeon again. Had 16 max level toons for most of DF and NEVER entered a single dungeon! Hope I don't have too in the new expansion.
lol best expansion in your dreams.. cash grab
At the end of the video you were like "thanks very much to the sponsor of this video" and I was confused. There was no sponsored ad in this video.
Probably just done ahead of time and things didn't pan out properly.
Blizzard is the sponsor, they gave him access.
Where's the sauce? Metzen came back and brought the sauce with him. It feels like Warcraft again.
If Khadgar is dead rip to the dream of the Legion boys getting back together (him, Illidan and Velen).
Oh my god why is the algorithm doing this to me. I quit WoW long ago, but for some reason War Within videos started to pop up for me and IM STARTING TO MISS MY OUTLAW ROGUE GAMEPLAY DAMN ITTTTTTTTT
The circlejerk continues. Lets remember how much he praised dragonflight. and then it failed.
The story was lame, the numbers were great, talent overhaul was 10/10 you're projecting bby
@@Dofladingus Numbers were mid you dipass. And only because people were misled by praise given by content monkeys. Cope more.
Just when i think im out they drag me back in. Now i gotta figure out what class i wanna play.
Welcome back to the game I played 16 hours a day for the last 17 years lol
If its Khadgar I'm going to be so fucking angry. I love Khaggles so much he's my favorite character now.
rip khadgar but also if they make azj'kahet feel like Suramar I'll never quit again
"A notable character might be dead", sees Anduin and Jaina talking ..... dammit!
Nice jacket man, looks comfy as hell. Also great vid :)
I'm really concerned with the alliance bias that appears to be permeating out of TWW. Magni, anduin, jania, maybe khadgar... I haven't heard anything horde themed Dragon flight also struck me as heavy alliance bias. Green Flight and dream necessitated Night Elf's stories with Tyronde and Malfurion. Tyrs quests had a lorderon pally feel and kalecs quests teamed him with khadgar. I dont hate the alliance. I just feel strange when my big tauren is in a cutscenes with alliance characters . TWW obviously is going to be heavily dwarf focused with the Earthen and the humans of Arator. Where is the horse gonna fit in.
I truly believe that Dragonflight will go down as possibly the most important expansion ever. Not the best, not the most fun, not the best story, but simply the most important because it gave them a total reset point to work off of.
Every youtuber "I won't spoil what will happen at the start" Teliesin "DALARAN IS DEAD!"
Are they bringing crowd control back? I feel like with CC makes the game more fun. It allows dungeons to slow down a little but at the same time it does increase difficulty but when mobs 2-3 shot you to death. Healers back then then could toss attacks and CCs themselves.😊😊
That would be great
Delves die with timers, dont make em myrhic plus
Agreed. Id hate for it to be timed and itd probably make me not do it
I honestly enjoyed DF, and this is coming from a very pessimistic WoW player. I thought it was a step in the right direction and from what I've heard TWW is the next iteration of that step. I think the delves are very cool, and the art team is pulling weight once again. Plus the war-band mechanic seem like a great idea, and that updated character screen is a fantastic little edition. I really hope they don't fumble this. I want to enjoy retail again.
Man, i wish i had the hardware to play this game with beautiful graphics like yours
Should be able to achieve this with a pretty affordable build
Like this comment if you think Bellular Warcraft should buy this guy a PC =)
Do you not have a job?
Bro? U can play wow on a potato, sure all MAX settings with my 4080 super pulls 270+ fps on a 3440x1440p monitor, u can do well on a 1080 card even lol
The problem with killing Khadgar is that they've ignored him for no good reason for way too long.
Can’t he just mage portal back from the SL? Death is pointless in the game.
But Khadgar is one of the last remaining men, so he must be replaced by a (strong female character). Why? Nobody knows. Thats the modern era I guess.
No even archimonde powerful enchantments destroyed like that Dalaran it left a lot of debris and even houses but that attack by xalatah destroyed all Dalaran by magic explosion ? I don’t think so it seems the tower of center and prison get destroyed in order to avoid get attacked by the enemies and prisoners khagar may use his magic to destroy it and the rest of Dalaran were teleported to the void realm a magic of xalatah to torture them
The art looks great.
Cool vid :) i knew content creators mist have been up to something as you've all been quiet since Sunday!
I hope the difficulty is a bit higher, where you feel like nerubians can actually kill you. That said, looks solid!
looks good so far, looking forward to more specific class details and the hero talents!
Watch us have to fight kadgar
You often knock one out on your lunchbreak?
Knock what out?
Good lord, they better have a lot more in mind for those Delve tiers than flatly dialing up the health sponges and gear requirements. WoW needs to do away with all the conveyor belt gated content where your gear is your only form of progression. Like you said, there should be content and fights that challenge us to use our full kit of skills and talents. It should teach us how to play our characters and alts better. Not having to communicate and coordinate with a group of strangers already makes solo content much easier than normal dungeon content. They need to balance that solo content with a steep learning curve that isn't based on RNG.
They said that the big light crystal isnt sargeras s sword, but thats whats exactly is..
I'm happy to have harder delves, but I hope the only rewards are a higher ilevel of drops
So like a Borean Tundra starting zone?
Drink less, pack microphone more, or not. Thanks for the great content. love you guys.
So delves are like destiny lost sectors? Looks interesting if so
Wait i didn't see they added solo que rbgs. I have been begging for this
as a professional WoW hater, WoW-WW might bring WoW back. I still want to see raid and M+ changes as those are my main drugs in the game, but so far everything showed in this video is massive Ws all around
Finally Bellular plays wow so he can actually give an opinion
Now: Game seems great! Post Release: The Game is bad. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
? Dragonflight was widely seen as a good expansion with the weak point being purely storytelling being kinda disney weak but everything else being pretty good to super great...
It’s the normal cycle. I think Bliz marketing has a tighter leash on these guys now. That’s why they didn’t point out as many of the flaws of DF. Now the big KZhead folks get access as long as they are good boys and girls.
@@gwilly4744 correct. However, you would think these creators would learn that it hurts their credibility as well if they keep doing it. Which may not matter in the short term, it will in the long.
Delves look so cool! I miss Torghast!
Are these jumping mushrooms from gw2? 😅
Xal'atath is the Silver Surfer and Dimensius is Galactus
I think we need War Within to start out feeling like we just can’t win in the story, but micro victories. Then end the expansion with us winning by one mere instant yet extremely hard choice, but only with an expendable! 🤣
Yeah, i agree. And even if we win there needs to be visible defeat that you recover from over time.
@@mort6578 yeah, yeah you get the idea!
So is Dimensius about to get retconned? big if true
So PTR spoilers = bad, but alpha spoilers = good.
15:13 “the zestyness” uhhh what 🤣
OMFG! Seeing that Earthen mecha makes me want Tinkerer's even more!
Right??? Feels like an impending reality for WoW. Best part of all, almost all races have npcs in the game that are full fledged tinkers already. So I can’t imagine anyone not being able to be it (besides maybe some of the more nature/druidic races) Gimme that Torbjorn, GW2 Engineer, HotS Gazlowe, mekkatoraque exo suit type gameplay!! Anyone who thinks “we already have engineering” is sorely lacking creativity. Warlocks and Demon Hunters co-exist, as does the Enchanting profession and Mages 😂
I do like that collectively people are kinda sick of sweaty try hards ruining any game they touch. Also... war within is the galactus storyline for WOW?
