Wrath of the Lich King was the golden age of WoW. Prove me wrong.
It introduced dungeon/raid finder.
>>343162753
Prove him wrong
It was TBC though
>>343162753
Raid finder was in late cataclysm
I still get your point
WOTLK introduce a lot of interface mechanism that grow up and take form in the garrison, raid finder, raid normal/hero/mythic/zoozlesk/Armagagadon/etc, catch up stuff
It was tolerable during it because the general feel of the game was still amazing, now nothing can hide the poop under the carpet
the end of TBC was already at fault with the sunwell isle but again it was a drop of shit in the vast sea
Now the sea is full of shit it stink
>>343163759
Sunwell isle itself was great but the gear it gave out was too powerful. Yeah it cost a lot of badges but still you could get BT equivalent or even better gear in some cases (crossbow for hunters says hello) just by running 5 mans and Karazhan.
>>343162663
What's wrong with Cata?
>>343162663
Vanilla through to WotLK was.
I really like TBC most though. Don't know why. I will cede that WotLK was the better expansion, though, purely in terms of how much more the game opened up.
>>343166867
TBC was quite good but I can never forgive it for introducing arena and flying mounts and removing "wall climbing".

'popular' means stupid enough to appeal to the mongoloid masses.

It had good dungeons and maps, and decent balance in the latter half, but completely shit 0 effort raids.
Gruul's lair should have been a one-off raid dungeon map, not repeated for 3/4 of the fucking raids of WOTLK.
>>343167471
My main is a DK ever since they added it. Was druid before. Go edge yourself off a cliff
It was for me, since all I cared about was arenas.
>>343168328
What the fuck are you rumbling about?
>>343168754
I don't think my opinion is anything special. The 5 mans were great. The world zones were great.
Eye of eternity, Obsidian sanctum, Icecrown citadel, and Wintergrasp were all just a corridor leading to the boss; a joke of a map.
And then, you also had Naxxramas.
Ulduar was literally the only raid with a decent map, and that shit paled in comparison to Blackrock Spire, Karazhan, and almost any other raid that came before.
Horrible uninspired shitty maps made within 10 minutes in Maya and tossed out alongside loot pinatas to keep idiots like you happy for half a year.

This, you got proven wrong OP. Wrath is what started the casualbabby heaven. The only thing it did well was content pacing for the first half but even then it fucked that up with the new system of raiding that renders past content entirely obsolete for every player making the game have less relevant, replayable content overall.
It was my favourite expansion, but it was the beginning of the end.
Cataclysm completely killed WoW.
>>343168754
he's talking about the "one raid, small area, one boss" instances that plagued the game until further updates.
>obsidian sanctum
>eye of eternity
>vault of archavon
>onyxia's lair revamp
>ruby sanctum
>argent coliseum
Ulduar and ICC were the only interesting raids with interesting bosses and map layouts
>Wrathbabbies
>introduced BoAs which made it so that you could solo the entire leveling experience turning it into a chore that was just done so you could get level cap.
It wouldn't even have been bad if the lategame experience replaced it, but it didn't change and half the content became obsolete while the latter couldn't make up the losses.
>inb4 that was leveling anyways, BoAs just made it less tedious.
Your intangible knowledge of the game and gold made it easier, and leveling was improperly designed for it to be a primer for lategame, which is what it was turned into.
Ulduar was the peak of WoW. Its been downhill since then
>>343171613
>TBCunts
Wasn't the whole nerub raid canceled and totc 1 room raid shit put in instead? It could have been the best expansion but fell short.
>>343162663
>the golden age of WoW
You know the golden age of WoW was the Nostalrius server.

like a clock
Xelnath (from LoL's design department) has a ton of extremely interesting post-mortems on bosses he designed from TBC and the challenges of trying to develop them hard enough for players, yet easy enough on him as a programmer. Go fucking read it.

>people often share the objectively correct opinion
Well no fucking shit.
>>343162663
well yeah in terms of subscribers that was its peak and its been downhill since.
i personally liked vanilla the most but wrath was good
>>343172016
I have many thoughts on this matter. It's true that WotLK is perhaps the most egregious example of unfulfilled potential in any game ever. Crystalsong Forest is easy evidence of this. However, the game turned out fairly well regardless.
Remember that the A-team got moved off onto SC2 during the latter half of development (the first of which was actually a great game which neo/v/ will never figure out) so ToTC got made.
Also note that the Ruby Sanctum was made after ICC which everyone seems to conveniently forget when remembering the long wait between ICC and Cata.

Scott: Ugh. I’ll go talk to the animators.
An hour later…
Scott: Uh, guys. I have some bad news….
Alex: They couldn’t fix the animation?
Scott: Uh… worse. All of our animators quit…

>>343162663
No, you're right.
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor was the best expansion has the best content out of all of them
>>343172263
Garrosh did nothing wrong though
TBC for best raiding content
Wrath for best zones and leveling experience
>>343173324
>any TBC raid
>better than Ulduar
No.
>>343171797
>butthurt wrathbabby can't accept the time when he started playing was shit
Played wow since 2006 and BC was objectively the best expansion. WotlK was great but late Wrath is where WoW began it's decline.
