with the last two xpaks being mid (BFA) and terrible (SL), we were bound for a "good" one eventually. probably a little early to rate this, but so far i'm pleasantly surprised with what dragonflight's delivered so far, especially after the stinker that was shadowlands. getting a lot of vibes i haven't felt since legion and pandaria, let's hope that momentum's kept in later patches!

probably might rate this half a star higher once more content comes out (and i get a computer that's actually capable of dragonriding at a framerate above single digits).

2/12/2023 EDIT: still a bit early to rate higher but now that i've gotten a better computer, yeah dragonriding's a blast and the trading post is a cute addition even if i'm not a huge fan of battlepass-like systems.

overall a very good and solid expansion so far, probably might be on par with legion once more content comes out. only real flaw imo is that the primalists kinda suck as antags. oh boy i always wanted the twilight's hammer again but lamer

7/13/23 EDIT: extra half-star coz yeah i think at this point i can safely say this is probably the best modern wow xpak. not sure how many major patches till we reach the end of this xpak, but there's a lot to enjoy as there is atm, and i honestly cannot see blizzard topping this in the next xpak.

this is the only modern wow expansion. is it "warcraft" at this point? hard to really say at this point in all honesty. but dragonflight is something that wow hasn't been since legion, and that is fun.

2/27/24 EDIT: yeah even with the TWW announcement, i can't see blizz topping this. sucks that we aren't getting a 10.3, but i still stand by this being the best modern wow xpak. genuinely the most fun i've had with WoW since legion. :D
