There’s a brand new WoW patch launching today that brings a ton of changes I’m excited for. Including a pre-expansion Scourge invasion event, class overhauls, level squish, new intro zone, and an overhaul to the entire leveling experience.
I stream weekly here https://www.twitch.tv/forcegaming
At this point we’re unsure of how good – or not – Shadowlands will be as an expansion, but either way, I’m looking forward to jumping back in the game and leveling up some of the classes I’ve never tried. Today we cover the biggest aspects of this brand new update.
World of Warcraft is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game released in 2004 by Blizzard Entertainment. The game’s eighth expansion, Shadowlands, is set to launch later this year.

Exile's Reach is great. Takes about an hour to hit level 10 and it feels like old school WoW.
All force talks about is how much wow he plays… and he’s talking about playing more
so they both did a level squish and made it faster to gain level, how is that a good idea? you showed a clip of somine literally gaining two levels on one mob group.. great way to make every level "exciting".. than sending you straight to BFA, they just keep on the same page of making 90% of the game content irrelevant and only the last level matter
Force Gaming is excited to play WoW again, because FG gets PAID to be "excited".
The prepatch is pretty cool, shadowlands will suck
WOW looks so old i wish they would update the graphics
Will you still have to have every expansion that came out before to play this
This is going to be the worst expansion yet
Been leveling my new character in Outlands and it honestly feels so good. Levels make sense, and do feel rewarding. I have felt forced to do all the quests so far – and it feels like a challenge again, but still relatively easy to play. So far I am excited for Shadowlands
I'm glad they're getting rid of a lot of the timegated bs.
Shill
I think I watches your videos like 8 to 1p years ago. you have grown since then lol
Looking forward to hearing more about your wow experience in the new prepatch and expansion
1. They heavily nerfed the prelaunch event to the point where there is not even any point in having it.
2. The unprunning of classes isn't as good as people think, the best example of this would be paladins and their Auras. What blizzard did to paladins is took away passives that have been passive since vanilla and turn them into auras, the Auras are borderline useless. People like to point out that ret Aura as seeming good but it really isn't unless you are in LFR other than that it will almost never proc.
3. While the scaling is a good bandaid fix it doesn't solve the problem of expansion level inflation if anything it makes progression feel worse and less meaningful. The scaling added was rushed and the amount of overlooked problems is insane. There has been tons of feedback on the forums of overtuned mobs being completely ignored with mobs still scaled to 120 numbers, there are also quest problems that didn't get fixed until a week before the prepatch (You couldn't even upgrade your garrison while leveling in WOD).
4. Chromie time still has a massive problem with it and it is when you reach 50, at that level you automatically get kicked out of chromie time and teleported to stormwind against you will. While this is in the game to stop players from getting to level 60 while avoiding shadowlands it also stop the fundamental reason for chromie time. Since the early beta people have been asking blizzard to stop xp gains at 50 but still let people play through the scaled content.
Overall I think Shadowlands is going to be very disappointing with the current problems on the beta servers, the ptr servers, and the live servers. It seems like it's going to be a mess. I hope this doesn't become a WoD 3.0
tbh slower rested xp consumption is not that bad, you will appreciate it later when there are more things to do on your main, so you can create a lot of alts (with easier allied races unlocks) and keep switching them in your spare time
If i havent played since MoP. Will my maxlevel chars then be like midlevel now if i try Shadowlands?
Yeah currently broken. If you time walk and get to 50, you cant do BfA content. You get your necklace and that's about it. At least for Alliance, not sure about Horde.
all the heirloom set bonuses suck. 99% of the time i level i'm in town turning in quests so i don't need to do damage… and by the time i pick up the new set of quests i have 10 seconds left of the bonus stats….
only real perk of heirlooms is that it's 6-8 pieces of gear your don't have to worry about ilvl.
I just uninstalled WoW. Shadowlands is going to be a joke and Blizzard has no future. I am sorry guys. It's time to move on.
Honestly I don't quite understand hype of SL. It really just seems like BFA 2.0
Same powered power, same mechanics layered on mechanics.
While classes got a few new toys almost every class has nearly identical core rotations as BFA. Once the fresh car smell goes away I think people realize they still playing same class they hated in BFA.
To me it seems clear as day that SL is just a reskined BFA, and I have no idea why others have so much trouble noticing.
Tried to go back to retail yesterday. Couldnt do it, uninstalled after about 2 hours. Glad I only paid 1 months sub
The pronounciation of "Scourge" kept throwing me off xD
Main reason why I will never go back to Blizz. "Activision"
What the hell is this trash game. Go back to making Heartstone videos.
Brakskin
The amount of hand holding is astounding.
See to me I love the long grindy leveling experience in classic wow. I had an absolute blast playing WoW Classic for 7 months! It forced you to go through every zone to level, quest, explore, do dungeons, and some fun pvp. I haven't played a retail wow since 2006 when I played BC so I don't know what to expect when I play Shadowlands. The whole fast leveling is such a turn off to me because to me that is a big part of the experience/adventure in an mmo. 12-15 hours to level 50? Like wtf man.. they need to at least have it take 3 days worth per character to get to level 50. Now I am like you and excited to go back and play the expansions I missed out on and I am excited to make alts for classes I have never played like the death knight. That will be fun but I hope end game gives me that passion I have with a long grindy adventure feeling that WoW Classic gave me.
to bad it's only on pc😔
15 hours to get to max level.
How fucking pathetic.
this slight music dings in the background are annoying AF… but intresting video non the less.
SO HOW MUCH DID BLIZZARD PAY YOU TO MAKE THIS VIDEO??????
If anyone's interested in testing WoW again, now's the best time. If you left BFA because BFA is BFA, then… eh. It's only good if you plan to level another character or two. Don't come back with your max level character in decent gear expecting good because BFA is still dumb
Oh wow how exciting. Let's homoginese classes by giving everyone same abilities. Now let's unhomoginise them by giving abilities that were in the past. Wow lvl squish, oh my, so many games are past lvl increase with each expansion. Blizz truly good at innovating. Wink wink.
Dont do it. It's a trap! The only content here is on the cash shop. They delayed the prepatch event so there is really nothing to do other than level through zones you've seen for years. There's no word one when the expansion much less the rest of the prepatch comes out, yet they release a new transmog set on the cash shop.
I kinda slacked off WOW when they put best gear behind RAIDS and mythic and got rid of PVP gear shit.. i mean come on i dont have time for that nor do i have a group to meet for mythic, all i wanted was PVP gear, glad they are bringing it back
i thought u were going to say blizzard dropped the sub fee
the only youtuber I've seen thats excited for shadowlands lol.
I find annoying that we're all overpowered… check in your own video, every minion you killed, your hp have never went down 95%
e-celebs 3months after expansion: Why i quit wow! It's a facebook game now, grind is awful, blah blah….
e-celebs 3months before new expansion: meh, they are out of ideas, reskins shit, blah…
e-celebs 1month before new expansion: oh my god, i'm hyped, this is going to be the best expansion, why i'm returning to wow!
This will continue (just like the past decade) and stupid people will pay more money to blizzard and sub to blizzard's awful sercives again.
lol the same reason as all of us.. to see the new xpac for 30 days then leave again, yall know the drill!
which level are high now 120 ?
I have been playing wow since 2005 i played a crazy amount up to cataclysm then lost interest but I come back for every expansion.
Ketchup gear! I'm sold, time to get back into Azeroth
Wait it costs 15 dollars a month to play this game wtf?! That's absurd
I'm a life-long RS player, stone cold brand new to the entire wow experience since this week. So far I've only gotten as far as level 30 on 2 characters but so far I'm having a blast. I cant wait to experience shadowlands with everyone as a brand new patch. But also I'm excited to try the older stuff and not be penalized 😊
Wish WOW was available for XBSX….like FFXIV is for pc and PS4.
why would anybody wear a fucking beanie inside? american "fashion" styles get me every time.
