Ready to give up - Blue Tracker

I bought the expansion to play new races, however the mountain of confusing quests/achievements needed is insane. I don’t want to spend hours NOT PLAYING while I’m picking through achievement/quest lists trying to figure which requirement I’ve missed this time. The same is true for flight. It seems that with every expansion our flight ability is taken away. Researching another huge list of achievements is required to get back the ability that was taken away yet again. Please give is a break, some of us don’t want a doctorate in Warcraft, we just want to play the game. I am spending most of my time trying to find missing parts of achievement lists!!! No fun at all.

Is there a particular aspect of the achievements that you find confusing? What type of content do you prefer to play on a regular basis?

At a base level, if you do the main story quests see (like the chapters listed in each zone) and continue to do the emissary quests for reputation, that tends to be a large chunk of the work. Did you have particular concerns about these requirements that we listed before they are playable? I appreciate the input!

Actaius:

My problem isn’t with the amount of work needed. It’s the time gating.

The Zandalari and Kul Tirans as playable races were announced as features of the expansion, yet withheld until (at this rate) almost a year-and-a-half after the expansion’s announcement, and seven to eight months after the expansion’s launch . And there was nothing we could do as players to shorten the time needed to unlock them - large sections of content required to unlock them have remained inaccessible until very recently, and there is further required content that is still inaccessible.

It was, and remains, entirely at Blizzard’s whim as to when we get something we were promised in November, 2017 .

That is what I take issue with - delays or schedules that were not communicated, made clear or given any player agency to reduce in any way.

Did you watch the recent Q&A that talked about the timing of the Kul Tiran and how it relates to things? We understand that nobody wants to wait but we still aim to deliver the best experience possible and sometimes that leads to delays on things.

One thing to note from your post, what further required content is still inaccessible?

Making a new race like Kul Tiran is a challenge and it did impact the timing of things a bit.

The scenarios are part of the actual unlock process which means the races are playable which is happening in the next content update. I thought you were referring to more requirements to complete which is a different thing. On the bright side, it means more content is coming!
