I’m so impressed with the regular events in Lowland Shore so far. I think they’re the best in the game excepting maybe Grothmar. Just like that zone they managed to make almost all of them have some little gameplay twist or gimmick that makes them more interesting than bog standard versions we’ve seen a hundred times before.
I’m honestly having so much fun exploring this map and just taking it in as it comes. Such a great feeling after years of repetitive meta events that all boil down to the same zerg rush gameplay.
Janthir actually makes me want to log in and get lost in the world in a way I haven’t felt for a while.
I’m digging the Lowlands a ton, but I actually didn’t spend too much time in Grothmar. I’ve done the cycle of meta events there maybe 2-3 times total. They’re fun and interesting, but when they’re not active, I feel 0 compulsion to do anything on that map.
The metas are cool, but I’m actually thinking of the non meta events. The random little ones all over the place. Grothmar was a huge cut above what had come before in that department when it came out, and until now it generally still was I’ve felt.
