In a recent video, Asmongold discussed why he likes the new World of Warcraft expansion and provided some further context.
On December 3, the well-known content creator offered his initial thoughts on Dragonflight. Asmongold commended a few game features, such as leveling, but he put the emphasis on Blizzard Entertainment’s innovative gameplay design, which got rid of the clumsy mechanisms present in earlier expansions. About some of the new systems in Dragonflight, Asmon noted, “It’s very enjoyable and just straight-up fun,”
He also emphasized how much better the experience is thanks to Blizzard’s new approach to the game, which emphasizes a more relaxed, enjoyable manner. He stated; “I think Blizzard focusing more on fun and just adding content into the game that is enjoyable, that people want to do and interface with… is just a much more sustainable model,”
Asmongold added his thoughts to the developers’ decision to move away from tedious gameplay elements like Artifact, Azerite, and Anima power. Players had to spend a lot of time gathering these materials, which caused the game to become boring. Asmongold argued that the lack of these technologies makes Dragonflight a much more enjoyable experience. Asmon stated, “Azerite Power and Anima Power [systems in Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands, respectively], that was the ‘AP era’ and that’s basically something that they’re [Blizzard] saying ‘this is behind us, we’re not going to do this anymore,’ and thank god for that, what a massive relief,”
The focus on a “more relaxed tone,” according to the content creator, is something he is more than happy to see. It significantly improves the initial Dragonflight experiences compared to the few prior additions.
