The board quality is non-existent because threads like these are allowed to stay up and aren't deleted on sight. There's literally no fucking IQ threshold but then j*nnies warn/ban people and say "post quality is extremely important".Never forget who destroyed this place.

>>683785335>orchestra-slop tacked onto the same login screen music they've been using for 20 yearsIt's all so tiresomeIt's fucking bewildering to remember that WoW has an entire team dedicated to its soundtrack.Can you recall ONE good, memorable song from the past 10 years? I think you have to go back to MoP or something for Jaina's Theme.WoW is the Marvel of video game music. It's there, but it's so damn forgettable. Wrath had a few memorable tracks (Invincible, Lament of the Highborne), TBC had nothing, and finally Vanilla had a lot but that was 20 years ago.
>>683789413>I think you have to go back to MoPCorrect.>for Jaina's ThemeNo!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1waVSu4adDM
>>683785335The theme and story died a decade ago.

>>683789413>music lead gets laid off at some point in WoD or Legion because "his position is unnecessary">everything past that point is "epic orchestra" slopmerely a coincidence i'm sure
>>683789564Because sissies can't create, only corrupt.
>>683789648That's Hearthstone art, but WoW isn't much better.Also Hearthstone's community is currently in the middle of a massive shitstorm too, which is fun.
>>683789760Hearthstone and WoW are both the same IP (Warcraft) and therefore symbiotic. Remember Tortollans? They debuted in Hearthstone.
>>683789987Well yeah but they are different games, so you can't really just claim art from one is art from anotherHearthstone is purposefully much more cartoony and whimsical
>>683785335That's probably the most low effort main theme out of all the expansions I've heard. Compare to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bmWv_VZD3s
>>683789041and yet they're the majority of this game's population, or at least the opinions blizzard is listening to. curious.
I tried WoW once.>make account>it lands me in what I assume is the newest expansion>something about a shipwreck, prison break, whatever>some sort of pirate cove town>no idea what anything>no idea who anyone is>completely lost>"okay, I'll just play from the start">new character>go back to the start of the game>mind numbingly boring, emptyeven ffxiv was more fun than this
>>683791094>xivtroons literally filtered by character creationlol lmao
>>683788151He was the vanguard of woke tranny shit in WoW. Where did this myth that he's based and redpilled come from?
>>683788151bro? the daughter asking about sylvanas midriff incident?
>>683791164>filteredI didn't find it hard, just boring. I was basically forced through the dogshit "it gets better after 50000 hours" slop of ffxiv's base game by friends, so I figured I'd give WoW the same run.All I seemed to encounter were bots, and any group I joined were either completely unbearable faggots or just screamed at me to just buy skips for levels and shit. nobody I encountered seemed to have either actually played most of the expansions nor did they seem to even like the game. it was really weirdif you have advice for how to actually enjoy WoW I am very open to it because I like its aesthetic more than weebshit
>>683787357>Chris Metzen is back. He's putting an end to that shit.
this is the buggiest shit I have ever seen just look at the outline which appears whenever you teleport now
I thought it was the most boring login theme the game's had yetEven the Dragonflight one as better, I'll miss that triumphant flourish about a minute and a half inhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdj628W5x_s
>>683785335>We also have 2 more glorified big patches already planned out, 90$ eachftfy

>>683791513this one yesterday
>>683787357holy cope
who the fuck cares about login music? in wotlk everyone did their best to type their credentials and log in before the frost wyrm raped your ears and god forbid you got hit with a disconnect

>>683791610What's going on here? kek
>>683791706>socioeconomic background
I'm playing retail and it's kinda fun.
>>683785335the fuck is that a gay harmonica
>>683791830I'm reading your post and it's kinda gay
>op is pretending to be a marketer>even uses 'we' to show it's obviously meant to be a joke of a marketer slipping up>most of the people itt miss that OP is acting like a marketer and think he's just a normal player>the ones that do catch on to the marketer thing thinks he's actually a real marketeryou all knew though and just pretended not to know ofc
>>683791932Or we just want to rag on WoW
>>683791859Perhaps you should stop projecting?
>>683788930>Suddenly reminded that MoP's Alliance start involves massacring dozens of Orcs and Goblins, firing upon defenseless Grunts and Peons while they're swimming for their lives, and the Horde kidnapping Pandaren children as bargaining chips using Fel magicIt's almost like the Horde are savage and evil barbarians who pretend they're oppressed in order to justify horrible warcrimes and the Alliance is right to want to destroy them. >WoW will never be based enough have Jaina expel the (((Horde))) from Dalaran again.
>>683791402The story has gone to shit two decades ago and never recovered. Not even the biggest addict cares after Shadowlands shat the bed.If you want to enjoy WoW you have to enjoy it for the actually responsive gameplay (unlike XIV) and realise the utter dogshit, lower than capeshit, story is just an excuse for gameplay to happen.
>>683785335Does it add any new races or classes?
>>683791402>All I encountered were bots>But also players who told me to buy boosts>Oh but they also told me about all the expansions they playedNot a very compelling story. That being said, for those looking for the "fun" in WoW, I think a lot of that has to come from the immersion. If you're playing the game 20 years after the fact that's going to be really difficult. Me? I just find the zones and the music comfy.
>>683791587>nobody does thisbut they did>this didn't happenbut it didI literally asked you if you had any advice for someone trying to get into WoW and you are crying about weebfags. jesus christ anon
>>683791932Don't care, just want a WoW thread on /v/. WoW is dogshit but if it loses than Final Troontasy wins.
>>683791402>and any group I joined were either completely unbearable faggots or just screamed at me to just buy skips for levels and shit.literally never happenednobody who was leveling themself would tell you to buy a boostwhy larp tranny?

>>683792062WoW's story went to shit when Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne launched. We are never ever getting a true sequel to Warcraft 3 that ignores WoW's shit retcons.
>>683792106nta but if you're for real I can give you some advice because I think ffxiv has a pretty warm community and WoW's is kind of dogshit by comparison. Unironically, try rolling a character on an RP server (Argent Dawn or Venture Co. if you're EU). People are much more open to interactions, and I'd definitely recommend joining a guild. When you dungeon with people, you'll sometimes have noobs, but most likely someone levelling their 50th alt. Expect to meet a lot of jaded people. Also, it might defeat the point of an MMO, but I like putting on a podcast and just questing by myself. You meet people from time to time, but if you want an experience that necessitates player interaction at low levels try classic.>>683791932Any excuse to shit on WoW desu
>>683791402>just screamed at me to just buy skips for levels and shit.NOBODY IN THE HISTORY OF THIS GAME HAS EVER DONE THIS. People don't even talk during most dungeon and you expect me to believe they're encouraging new players to skip the leveling process and be yet another clueless retard at level cap that doesn't know how to play their class to even a basic degree? You lying, dishonest, piece of shit.
>>683791989maybe, but not a single person pointed it out. I feel like the majority of people itt actually fell for it
>>683792309>Least false flagging ffxivtroon
the OST is great but this can't be the "full" login screen? It's empty, it's missing something breaking out of the fucking "gate", where's the fucking details, something?
>>683792390>I think ffxiv has a pretty warm communitylmao here we go
>>683792451Please understand that 100% of these threads are made by schizophrenic ffxiv players idling in Limsa. If it looks like people are falling for bait it's because these threads are inhabited by crazy people
>>683792517delete this, bigot
>>683792034>>683792231>>683792318based, total blood elf death
what the fuck is this generic koreanslop login
>>683792480What, nigger? Relative to WoW, FFXIV has a friendly community. Still a shit game for trannies but this part is just true.
>>683792517This is extremely problematic
>>683786818
>>683792625no it fucking doesn't. people are fakenice because even telling someone how to play their job can get you banned. XIV is like the social equivalent of a high school with only women in it
>>683792452I don't even play rotation slop. The thing is, Blizzard fell off hard and haven't made a good game in more than 10 years.Enjoy your stolen titty milk with your FFtronnoids because now that I think about it Square is the same as Blizzard, they had good games and vision and now can only create absolute dogshit.
>>683792390as someone who's played mmos in the past and over two years of ffxiv, that community is only "warm" on the surface, it's cliquey as fuck and genuinely awful when it comes to FCs.
>>683785335I know you're just trolling, but fine, here's a (you), OP. Nothing will ever top the vanilla login screen, and WoW in its current form is a soulless husk animated only by corporate greed and tranny interns.>>683786068Holy based.
>>683792718>>683792689Oh I agree 100%, it's all surface dressing. It's still technically friendly though, even if they're snakes. Just for new players I think FFXIV feels warmer. People don't tell you to kys after a wipe and then leave the dungeon. FCs are just high school drama simulators though.
>>683792462>>683792619It's not finished yet.Song is only a preview, and it has been datamined that that login screen is not the final one.
blizzdrones really are going to try to argue that XIV maintaining a bare minimum facade of niceness and zero gameplay disruption is somehow worse than being denied from groups because your class isn't considered "meta" by e-sportsfags or getting kicked from groups because the leader just felt like it or to deny you loot from bosses (and there's nothing you can do about it because the automated and/or indian support responses tell you to check wowhead for solutions)
>pre-patch event isn't even live yetwhy would you make a thread?
>>683793035Nigger why are you raiding with faggots? It's not hard to find a bunch of sensible people and do non-sweaty raids.
>>683793035If you join a friendly guild, that doesn't happen.But if you choose to be autistic Kirito solo-player, then, yeah, you will eat shit.
>>683792936ah see now it makes sense. I agree wholeheartedly, surface level it's perfect for newcomers on average in comparison to most online communities, but behind the facade it's borderline worse. There's that toxic positivity and subtle/passive aggressive toxicity that's somehow worse than just outright being told to "rope" in League or WoW.
>>683793035Yes, it is. I would rather everyone be treated like shit than see "people" whining about how the world is against them because they're transgender or whatever and being coddled by everyone like a fucking mental institution because any naysaying whatsoever gets your money stolen.It's called gatekeeping and it does wonders for your community of ACTUAL players who ACTUALLY play the game instead of treating it like Second Life or an ERP chatroom. Good players don't "get kicked randomly", you're just shit at the game. Get gud.
>>683793235hahahaha i love this pic so much
>>683793102>>683793182>just join a guild broNTA, but everyone who isn't an officer is just a tool for the officers. Every time I fucking join a guild in this dogshit game there's always some corruption going on from the inside, like the GM's 0-parsing wife getting a reserved spot in the raids or some faggots who refuse to take anyone to their M+ runs and then wondering why the fuck aren't people decked out in high end M+ gear when it's raid night because the rest of the guild is forced to PuG tanks and healers. Fuck off with your clique garbage.
>>683792964Come on, you don't even believe that yourself.
>>683793235AND IT'S ALWAYS THAT SAME FUCKING UGLY AU'RA FACE + SCALE COMBO AND THE WORST FUCKING PLATE DESIGN TOO, WHY ARE THESE FUCKING TROONS ALWAYS SO TASTELESS OH MY GOD LMAO
>>683793227Word, I would much rather people be shitty to me than fake. When I was a kid playing wow for a first time, there was this beautiful mix of anxiety and glee when joining a group. It felt like smoking with the older kids. Plus, when you get through being told to rope, I find that's when you actually meet cool people. I made lifelong friends on wow, I only met fake social butterflies on ffxiv.
>>683791501>stupid haircut>bulbous head>man jawI don't get what people see in this.It's not appealing.It just checks boxes.
>>683793576I said "friendly" because of that.I hate competitive guilds because they are as you say.But now I'm in a small boomer guild, and it's comfy.They don't raid, tho. Only M+.
>>683793576Make your own guild or join a better one. What you describe definitely happens but it's not representative of every guild.
>>683793759competitive guilds do not have let GMs girlfriend/wife shit up the raid retard
>>683793824I have never played with officers/GMs wives or gfs, lolGood luck, I guess.
>>683793681i haven't added a single genuine friend to my b.net friends list since wotlk. even trying to add the competent people you meet in m+ to your friends list usually gets you stonewalled because they know you're just going to pested them for quick spot fill, especially tanks and healers.i think the problem is just the internet culture in general.
>>683793713checking boxes is more important than appealing for white men, chud
>>683793235Fem AuRa have to be single handedly housing like 80+% of their population in FFXIV I swear to fucking god.
>>683785335Paid shill thread.
>>683794150it's almost like troons have to overcompensate on their femininity and thus pick the most caricaturely dainty, cute and feminine race in the game. let's not pretend blood elves are any different.
>>683794230Mindbroken XIV troon
>>683792689desu that isn't true, I've gotten pretty toxic here and there and never even got a suspension or a GM intervention, like I've told some gay cunt at the end of savage raid to kill himself cuz he was making obnoxious comments - nothing. Also said I would be reported by a bunch of dweebs in EX trials after they blocked me for pointing mistakes out - nothing.
>>683794272But they are different, you lying xivtroon. Troons don't play WoW and they are not welcome in WoW. Make no mistake, Blizzard loves to market towards troons but the community of white straight men tells them to get bend and never come back. See: all the posts before yours claiming "fakenice" is better than honest bants.
I played wow for like 10 years, I stopped playing like 2 years ago and I'm damn glad I stopped consuming the damn slop that this game has become.
>>683794458just because you got lucky and nobody in your group bothered to navigate the utter dogshit report system doesn't mean it doesn't ever happen.
>>683794023Yeah it's hard and the meta has shifted a lot. Making friends in M+ is tough because like you say, people will just think you're gonna spam them. For me I tend to just shitpost in PvP and RP and find people that way. The actual 'game' part of wow has been metagamed to the moon and it's just not very social.
>>683793035tell me you haven't done partyfinder savage and ultimates without telling me you haven't done partyfinder savage and ultimates.People kick others left and right, motherfuckers will fuck up the mechanics while being the lead and will blameshift and kick others thinking others don't see only for the rest of the party to go "wtf's wrong with you cunt" and leave too.
>>683794710tell me you're a redditor without telling me you're a redditor
>>683794541there's a lot of troons in retail tho
>>683794023i made a few friends by being the local clown in shadowlands actually playing survival hunter unironically. though i also made some enemies who put me in their ignore list because they though i was playing a (((real spec))) and didn't realise this until we were inside the dungeonline up all metatrannies up against the wall tbqh
>>683794806let me guess, you play on their containment RP server. nobody roleplays as a woman in my functional human being servers.
>>683794591Who asked
>>683792584>PicLiadrin would unironically suck Turalyon's dick out of respect.
>>683792718this, a thousand times this.i was tricked into playing XIV during shadowlands because all my other friends fell for "le great exodus" meme and HOLY SHIT XIV players are legitimately the most insufferable people i've ever seen in ANY online community.like a quarter of the fucking community are "mean girls" who always try to steal the spotlight of any conversation, a quarter are obnoxious trannies, and the rest of them are just wallflowers who never speak unless spoken to or just orbit the aforementioned attention whores. the dungeons are fucking piss easy so there's never any need to communicate with anyone. played that shit enough to clear the main story and not a single person i wanted on my friends list. no wonder all of our group quit by the end of that miserable experience.the experience was so miserable i actually gained some appreciation for WoW and its community. during shadowlands, of all things. holy shit, to think that is the only other competition to WoW, it's fucking grim.
>>683795415The only wow community left is on private servers, nice try john blizzard.
>>683795415It's true, I actually hated starting conversations in most of the FCs I was in because 9/10 of the actives either talked between themselves or would play for hours without saying a thing, be it officer or FC owner. But the moment one of their friends or some egirl logged on they were suddenly buddy buddy. It was borderline creepy.I genuinely had far better interactions on average while trying to rizz up (e)girls via DMs which varied from making fun friends just to chat to having the wildest fucking discord/snapchat cum sessions I've had to date.In a group setting though FFXIV is.. not good.
>>683793795>your guilds are too cliquey?>just make your own and be the cliquegreat advice retard
>>683795719>would play for hours without saying a thingliterally me. because holy shit why would i want to talk to those freaks? all those faggots could talk about was e-sex, drugs, and/or dude alcohol lmao. these people were in their fucking 30s and 40s, some with fucking kids, and still behaved like kids in high school, it's fucking bizarre
>>683795954hm I don't know wasn't really the case when I played in Light servers lich/raiden but I can see why constant talking about the same thing, especially if your FC feels like a zoomer filled valorant lobby. Still, would've had more fun engaging in those convos than most of what went down in the ~10 active FCs I've jumped around in during my time.
>>683785335You can't advertise your products on /v/ and then shit all over this site publicly, buy an ad, please.

>>683797562or you know, high end pvp where gameplay actually matters
>>683797812Or I could just play literally any other dedicated PvP game on the market that suits me.PvP in WoW isn't the only thing about the game that's raw sewage and you niggers treat it like it's the experience of a lifetime
>>683792034Theramore was a legitimate target and Jaina was warned multiple times.

>>683797065>jannying and shillying, both for freeyou can't make this up
>>683798006Attacking Theramore as a military target was a legitimate action.Massacring and kidnapping the civilians afterwards is where things changed from 'Practical military exercise' to 'Heinous deplorable war crimes'.Also the Mana Bomb wiped out EVERY Theramore across EVERY timeline.

>>683792462it'll probably be the same screen for all three parts of the story, in the second part it will be even more broken and in the third it will break completely and reveal a gay flag or something.

>>683798006Yeah, a city full of innocent civilians and mages was a "legitimate target" the same way Palestine is. Garrosh was such an edgy retard.
>>683798534Theramore was a legitimate target because Jaina like an idiot, let Alliance forces station within the city and deploy from Theramore for their Kalimdor campaign.
>>683798534>port close to your capital full of magesuhh yeah nuke it
>>683798534It was literally a military garrison.
>>683798391>Do side quest in the big tower in the first zone>Says to sit next to a Dwarf!Dragon>Figure there's going to be some gay shit>It's about how the Dragon is old enough to have been on the islands before they were closed off and how he used to have a Black Flight friend he would fly around the islands with>Then talks about how the landscape has changed so much he can barely recognize it, and how he was forced to kill his friend when Deathwing betrayed everyone and drove the Black Flight insane>Even had special dialogue for a NElf referencing TeldrassilThat one God damn quest hit me harder than any plotline or cutscene since the start of Legion, and maybe even before then. Why the fuck can't they get the guys writing that to work on the actual main plot?
>>683798391>alt-tab
>>683786818lmao. ok blizzard im in
>>683798534>NOOO NOT THE INNOCENTERINOS>please ignore the fact they are hiding and supporting mages
>>683785335It has to be the ugliest WoW's loading screen so far.
>>683798178Capturing the civilians makes sense, they're of an enemy faction in horde territory, killing them is a black mark but I've only done the scenarios so I don't know how many civilians there were meant to have been there lorewise. It seemed pretty heavily militarised from those. Not touching timeline bullshit with a ten foot barge pole.
>>683791402>if you have advice for how to actually enjoy WoW I am very open to itSure.Get a time machine and go back to 2003, then play the game when it comes out.WoW's shit the bed ever since Cataclysm regarding new player integration. They've never done a good job of introducing new players, so anyone who picks it up just has to endure the timeline-hopping-schizodream that is the WoW levelling experience.Can't blame Blizz for leaning on the bronze dragons (time wardens) so hard, as it gives them an in-game excuse for the player character to be so-liberally bouncing around time streams. One moment everyone's talking about Varian, King of Stormwind, then suddenly you're introduced to Anduin, King of Stormwind. Or Garrosh, Leader of the Horde, sends you on a mission in Silverpine, then suddenly Vol'Jin, Leader of the Horde, is telling you what to do, then Sylvanus, Leader of the Horde is giving the orders, then you're not allowed to talk about her because she's a meanie pants and you need to go and kill her.I don't envy new players. It must seem like an unmitigated clusterfuck.The problem is you've got 20 years of expansions that were always trying to push the envelope and invent a story as they were going along rather than planning for the long term. It would have done the game a world of good just to ease off the gas for a year, not produce any new expansions, and just fix the game as it is.It's a victim of its own success and age.
>>683798925That was actually pretty well done I admit, particularly that he admits it's eating him up inside that he can't remember her name and the time capsule he has you dig up DOESN'T wrap it all up in a neat little bow by having it written there
>i-it's just a placeholder>it's a beta>it will get better>p-please subscribeNo.
>>683798934>the game is only playable by putting a blanket over your head until it lets you progress
>>683789454Was gonna post this one too lol
>>683791094>>683791402the story is quite simple you just got filtered by your single digit iq bro
>>683788930WoW having 2 static factions was one of the worst decisions blizzard ever made for the game. It crippled gameplay, world building and writing.
>>683789413>Meanwhile, in ffxivhttps://youtu.be/pE1uMUDr5PY?si=B6_RGpbEDvml_alYBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAFFXIV cucks, is this your game?
>>683798723Theramore was neutral and had no reason to serve the Alliance of Stormwind at all, but then WoW devs doesn't play their own game like TES devs and hates their own wiki and players for reminding them of lore fuck ups.They should had added a boat or teleport service from Stormwind to Darkshore since day 1 in contrast to Tirisfal Zeppelin
>>683799832rent free
>>683798925>meanwhile a questline at the end of the expansion has you go assault odyn with a massive murdering proto drake because he's being mean and ... made an oath with the storm drakes centuries ago that they're fulfilling willingly>you kill Heimdall and the drake bitch insults him as you're doing so, but when the valkyr shows up they have a lesbian mind meld and she just lets you in to potentially assassinate her boss>she throws a bunch of insults at him and ice blocks him and then all the storm drakes leave because oaths don't count anymore
>>683798062Ok but why would I play WoW for PvP when there are 80 thousand different games that allow for a PvP experience without a dogshit second job simulator attached to it?
>>683799832that anon didn't even mention XIV you obsessive wowtroonBut nice cherrypicking. Look, I can do it too>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foNOe3I83eo
>>683788091McDonald’s is good, so I don’t see the problem.
>>683789413>TBC had nothingbro your Sunwell? and Magister’s Terrace?
How do retards get to be in charge of writing for things like video games and movies? Why do they let them in?
>>683800223>le ominous latin chantinglmao you actually think that shit is good? i guess HRT fucks up your hearing too
>>683800280they're black and/or women and diversity is our strength because it just is, chud
>>683798534posts like this are why WoW is in the shitter >Warcraft, Orcs vs Humans, Demons, Blood and Portals.>m-muh fucking palestein!jfc you people can't help yourselves lmao
>>683798534i bet you think camp taurajo was a legitimate target unironically because there are no tauren peasants.
>>683800292>>le ominous latin chantingYes. You seem to be implying that's a bad thing. It uses familiar genre conventions without being generic (unlike WoW).
>>683800870it is a bad thing. it's just more generic "it sounds EPIC" slop. most players play wow with music turned off for a reason.
>"it sounds EPIC" You don't even know what you're talking about. You're just making up whatever comes to mind because you have no argument but you still want the last word.It's simple;When WoW makes an orchestra + choir piece it sounds like they downloaded it off of soundcloud.When XIV does it it sounds like a Final Fantasy track.Simple as.
>>683791706>Gender>Men>WomenI thought these things didn't exist???
>>683796495What are you talking about, jannies went on a fucking jihad against sweet baby shit
its a shame the cohort is made up of people who despise any form of individual fun or originality in thought to the point where you just get noscope360memoryholed because some faggot and his faggot faggoty pals decided to vote you off tarde chat for being more powderful than they were by your own merit of running 5 mans instead of doing trash raids for the best gearalso people in this game cant joke or take a joke
>>683785335Is the Sanctuary private server any good?
>>683786361My honest reaction to this: no outrage whatsoever, immediate laughter at the retard posturing about “them” once his tweet showed up
Wouldn't Resetera be a better platform to discuss Retail WOW? I don't think the game's direction really aligns with /v/. Think OP made a bad faith post.
>>683804098when do leftoids ever talk about games in good faith?
>hey, cool cartoon races>"NOOOO THIS RACE IS EVIL HOLY SHIT I'M LOSING MY MIND HOW CAN YOU PLAY THE EVIL BARBARIAN RACE JESUS CHRIST IN HEAVEN HELP ME THERE IS A GUY PLAYING AN EVIL RACE AND HE'S HAVING MORE FUN THAN ME PLEASE HELP HELP HEEEEEEEEEEELP"why are alliance players like this
>>683788091i can pay 10 bucks at mcdonalds and eat a tasty meal and move on10 bucks at blizzard gives you cancer and aids for an entire month
>>683788151yes hes a woke faggot now but honestly can you imagine being part of the old guard and having to deal with the soiii latte sipping millinials that currently haunt blizzard. It must hurt to barely get done 20% of what his old 20 man teams could get done in 1 day.
>>683791563https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE5oaOOwInEOG is still the best imo
>>683800223Not only is that a great theme, but from what I recall it's also a homage to some meme song a fan made like 15 years ago or something. They even somehow got the guy back to help with this version.>>683799832Rent free aside (seriously I didn't even allude to other MMOs let alone XIV, I haven't played it in years), the bee song is catchy and memorable. Feeds into what I said about WoW's soundtrack being so forgettable in the past 10 years
>>683789413>Can you recall ONE good, memorable song from the past 10 years? wod? i stopped playing then, it sucked but had some memorable musichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-_ZyzP8a2Q>Invinciblemid af. zuldrak, storm peaks, ulduar have good music
>>683799832>nooo it's too sillyMaybe this is more your speed. I like how ffxiv randomly just tries different genres, here's some 2000s Evanescence alt-metal edgecore:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4O5CVvwgFI
>>683808045SAY GOOD NIGHTWITH EACH BITE DOES YOUR SANITY DIE
>>683807996>click play>immediate "generic epic Latin chanting"UghThe chanting is lame but I do like the marching motif at least.
>>683797334Done.
Horde deserve the tentacle
I feel it. I can hear it calling to me. Please convince me not to start resubbing again. I can't take wiping 200 times in progress anymore but there are no other games to play.
>>683788930>questing through Dragonflight for the first time>first zone is about wholesome chungus dragonkin and setting up the main villains as a shit copy of the Twilight Hammer but with less tentacles and historical precedent>second zone is about wholesome chungus centaurs who are not related in any way to the centaurs from Kalimdor>third zone is about wholesome chungus walruses and Kalec learning an important lesson about family after attending a funeralThat's when I became acutely aware that I was playing a game called World of Warcraft and it used to be really cool.
>>683809286It's never as good as you're hoping anon, try to remember the shit, and the boring shit, not just the good timesAnd you can't go home again.
>>683792689>people are fakenice because even telling someone how to play their job can get you bannedThis is shit /wowg/ made up to explain why people weren't shouting NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER in zone chats. The fact you believed it doesn't surprise me.
>>683799452The game also suffers greatly because they absolutely refuse to integrate previous things properlyThe only time they've ever done it was with the Legion Class Halls visiting old world areas for the artifact quests and everyone fucking loved it (ironically, class halls are never visited again after Legion)Shit, they finally implement "warbands" and not only do they not do any sort of player housing, they don't even do something as simple as make your warband alts hang out in your garrison
>>683800292>latinThey're speaking english, akshualy.
>>683810328>and Kalec learning an important lesson about family after attending a funeralDidn't we kill both of his parentsOr in Sindragosa's case re-kill her
>>683789760>Also Hearthstone's community is currently in the middle of a massive shitstorm too, which is fun.QRD please?
>>683789413>TBC has nothingKara called, go fuck yourself (Baroque)
I will never play anything other than 3.3.5 or earlier private servers hosted in Russia for the rest of time.
>>683811383Gladly:>for the first time ever, after like 30 expansions/sets, the newest expansion did not get a cinematic trailer>the expansion also did not even add a new board to the game, something every single expansion has done>disgustingly little free shit given out>also, it's Hearthstone's 10th anniversaryCost cutting measures abound, so the future of the game seems dire. But also:>Hearthstone just had its fourth(?) "having a heckin' wholesome fun time with OC characters we just made up, no lore characters" expansion in a row (it used to alternate between serious and lighthearted sets, now it's ALL kiddy shit that even Reddit is sick of)>there's a disgustingly shitty meta (players dying on turn 3/4, infinite value bullshit, there's no player agency (wins and answers always being pulled out of thin air))Feels like it's dying, and those still playing it hate the state of it (thematically and in gameplay). So the playerbase is in its annual "we fucking hate Blizzard this game is shit" mindset.
>>683812042Good call, Karazhan's theme is a banger, I forgot about that.Just scrubbed through some of TBC's OST, and it's mostly just ambience it seems.Explains why I don't remember much of it. I mean it's fine, it's just not memorable by design, it's just therehttps://youtu.be/ptYLkENCsZQ?si=N_eQ7pnKrQpXHtiN&t=229
>>683800854The Horde are all barbarous savages so no. There are no innocents in the Horde and the day of the rope will come for them all.
>>683786361>this is fire, on so many levels!yes, yes it is
>>683812984based
>>683812442Oh yeah, and one more thing:>Blizzard promises to explain the apparent corner cutting, and the future of the game>...>keeps delaying their statement>waits until pre-orders for the expansion are done, then another week after launch so people can buy all their packs during the "new content honeymoon" firstStill waiting!
>>683791094>>683799648I've played every expansion to some degree and even I don't understand half this shit. I think the game is at least a decade beyond repair as far as the new player experience goes.
>>683813532It's almost like they've catered the early game solely around returning players rather than new players. New players won't like all the story shit they're forced to engage with, they won't know what's going on.In retail after the tutorial you're immediately dropped into a story you know nothing about, given a shitload of exposition for characters and places you knowing nothing of, and are immediately a champion/hero. It's insane.Also there's like 10 expansion timelines and they all intersect at different times.
>>683814160They've sort of fixed that.New players go through a specifically tailored starting 'zone' which introduces new minor characters. From there they then go immediately into Dragonflight, where some of those characters pop back up.
>>683815079Oh well that sounds better, I think last I heard you were dropped into BFA of all things, straight into Jaina's family drama or whatever
>everyday /v/ has a retail hate thread that makes it to bump limitYikes
>>683816514bump limit? lol
there's so much shit to do in life and dedicating yourself to an mmo, especially one as grindy as wow is such an awful move in lifenot to mention the troonoids, the disgusting ogre thing in the trailershouldn't you have already left?
Blizz supporters get what they fucking deserve
>>683813482FRESH NEW DRAMA:The Blizzard blogpost finally came, and as expected it's ChatGPT-tier drivel that answers nothing and promises nothing. Community now even angrier.
>>683793593This will be the one that will come with launch, it's likely for the first time they want to update the login screen each patch, the one we have now is just the base version
>>683786361wdym she bussin fr!!!
>>683816514And yet WoW still dominates every other MMO, and every game /v/ openly hates (BG3, witcher 3 etc) is nearly always massively successfulIt's almost like this place is filled with pereptually online idpol obsessed retards who are constantly contrarian and have no real bearing on actual consumers
>>683798006>>683799328>>683800854Shut the fuck up, greenskins. Humans are speaking.
>>683786361I hate the faggot tweets but her design honestly isn't that bad, I dunno why they made her look so much worse in the CGI cinematic
>>683800104nothing quite compares to wow>other mmosgarbage gamefeel, balance and they're mostly aoe zergfests>mobaspve shit + rts camera>gookclickno>shootersno
For me it's Draenei
>>683823748Star Wars: Galaxies at it's height was a better MMO than the glorified singleplayer with optional multiplayer loot grind that was WoW. A lot of zoomers are so young and naive they don't even know what MMOs before WoW were. How much better they were. How they prioritized the social experience and features that fascilitated that like player housing, crafting, PvP and so on. As opposed to just dragging you by the nose through gated zones to get to the level cap so you can make numbers go up,
>>683785335lol no, it's still joever
>>683823505
>>683823290It reminds of that AI art It has an elf girl lying on the pillows and looking at the window so we can only see her buttHopefully she will appear with animation and Login button placed right on top of her butt
>>683800104I'm pretty sure that the Guild Wars 2 is the most rewarding online video game of all time. I mean, just look at these objectively amazing rewards.https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/WvW_Reward_Trackhttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skirmish_reward_trackhttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_Reward_Trackhttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/PvP_League#Rewardshttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Automated_TournamentsThe Guild Wars 2 has been healing a lot lately so that's why it's currently an objectively amazing video game.
>>683785335they fucked up even the portal gate themesaaad
>devs turn off promised features because they are bugged or completely broken Is amazing how dogshit blizzard QA is right now. Cata classic has couple bosses that have been bugged for months where certain abilities do zero damage.
>>683786818my fucking sideslegit roflmao
>>683792689Really wish I had the pic of a WoW player doing an FF dungeon for the first time and seething that players were nice to him.
>>683824738Not sure if serious.Most of that shit is utterly worthless and useless or leads to getting other shit that's utterly worthless and useless.
>>683824889Almost like using the same devs for the seasonal servers and Classic and Era was bound to end in a disaster
>>683789083>not the culture war shit, the console war shit, or the monster hunter threads tjat are filled woth one samefag shitposter replying to himself
>He considers coming back for the new expansion
>>683786361that is an ork not an elf.
>>683786361a Garrosh rapebaby.>>683786818the first thing I thought of
>>683785335I CAN'T WAIT FOR HOMO NERUBIANS XISTERS!!!
>>683818785trannies are infesting every MMO cause they know no one will talk to them if they can see them IRL
>>683824030Every mmo pre WoW is better than retail shit. MMOs cater solely to PVE faggots that cry and slit their wrists the second someone impedes them while gaming. They only want retards that will spend money on microtransactions. Them removing /spit is proof enough of that.
>>683791402You can't have "fun" in WoW. The game is basically rush to the endgame while doing the most boring shit ever, and once you are at the endgame, you have get into a group with the most insufferable people imaginable, then you have to farm and grind for days just to get 1 chance at a boss fight, but if someone fucks up and you wipe. You have to grind again and get ready for next week.The only people who play this are actual addicts that are not even enjoying the game, they just enjoy wasting time.
>>683827575>>683827812I hope you get the helo that yoy clearly need
>>683785335Sex with elves
I don't want to play retail WoW because the game turns my laptop into a jet engine despite looking like shit.
>>683786361Can you kill this or at least try to be able to in game?
>>683827812>The only people who play this are actual addicts that are not even enjoying the game, they just enjoy wasting time.>>683828131copehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCdNZ8dq2Ag
>>683797335>It's almost like AA gather around youngsters telling them to never drinkNever happened once to anyone.Never once played on an official server. Hate the "gameplay", diablo2lod was shit enough with the runewords, wow made it the only thing to be pursued. Glorified IRC room, dress-up never mattered. Played since 2005, quit 4 years later. The few. The proud.
>>683797224just create another shitty MMO to milk them like cattle. no reason to kill useful goyim.
>>683785335I knew it was over when I saw the trailer for dragonflight, after the shitshow that was shadowlands I wondered what they could possibly follow up with? For like the first 120 seconds or so it was actually really interesting, this stone giant wandering this ruined land, it had me curious. Then Almalexia flies in, the somber atmosphere they've built dissolves into the rainbow of how to train your dragon. I literally laughed out loud, like, "For real? Dragons again? Holy shit, they have nothing!" I knew right then and there the well had run dry and it was only a matter of time before it was actually dead. Announcing the next three expansions in a row just felt like confirmation of this. They're throwing everything they have left out there in the hopes something sparks interest before they all get shit-canned.
>SoD Molten Core has a new mechanic where you just get randomly 1-shot if you don't meet the hard fire resist number requirementVery cool design.
>>683788151More like the traitor Prince, possessed by dark powers raise the dead playerbase as a mass of unspeakable putrid abominations to ensure his nefarious lords reign for another thousand years of darkness.
>>683830432>watching my SoD server gradually get more and more dead as the season went on>literally the only people left in the overworld are 60s camping resource spawns, people levelling alts, and the rare casual like myself who didn’t boost to 60 in 3 daysPull the ripcord blizz. Just dump our characters into Era or something
