Nah all the fags and troons are defending this PoS company now just because they pander to those rats. Also they think now that Kotick is out the company will change for the better.
What i learned from Star Wars Outlaws general perception yesterday is that if you pretend to like troons and add minorities in your vidyas means that all those loud fags will be on the corpos side no matter all the shit they've done in the past

Blizzard is effectively a lich.

Worst WoW expansion launch of all time. Blizzard had to pay millions of dollars to get streamers to pretend to care about it and stream it for a few hours. Even then, it only got 1/3 of the viewers the last expansion got in 2022. Blizzard's cash cow WoW is finally on its death bed, after 20 years

Warlords of Draenor was the moment the game & studio went to absolute shit garbage. Every expansion prior was good.
Then WoD came out.
Mission table? Remember that phone game trash?
The complete streamlining and arbitration of every single game mechanic & social more was finalised in WoD. Overuse of phasing, content feeling like rushed meaningless shit.
Everything was like everything else in that game. They turned the mathematical formula the game ran on into some kind of shit where if you see it once you saw it a thousand times. Item level relative to player level gave the same relative performance regardless of level and it made the game feel like meaningless time-wasting garbage. For example if you had full epics at level 20, it would perform "the same" as if you had full epics at max level.
And level scaling (added later) just completed that. What a shit game WoW is now. It's not an RPG. It's a thinly-veiled treadmill
>>
>>686847507
The shipyard in WoD was the absolute lowest point, a second mission table where you could lose resources instead of gaining them. I think everyone else had quit then except a degenerate few

i don't know why you people think game devs are some sort of draft players who will rocket a proejct to success. Do you how know how many god awful trash games there are that are touted as made by "former Starcraft/Warcraft/WoW" devs? Tons. And how many successful games were made by them?? None.

Apparently there was a lot of gold there that I missed out on.
>>
>>686848014
what do you even mean by that?
Also most of these projects you are talking about are all about a few members, not the whole team as once it was.

If I owned the company I wouldn't trust SC or WC in the hands of anyone else besides the team that made it a success.

Yea, no kidding. I don't think I hate any other expansion as much as I hate Cataclysm. It completely replaced the old world with a soulless, streamlined joke world and simplified every single aspect of the game to the point of ridiculousness. Fuck Cataclysm and everyone involved in its making.

Currency/resource/reputation treadmills & timegating just is not fun at all. And nor is every piece of loot randomly "upgrading" to a higher item level or rarity.

What made WoW fun were a series of specific goals you could set and reasonably achieve.
For example, getting your pre-raid BiS. Every item on your pre-BiS list was a known known. There was no ambiguity: you did these instances enough times, you would get your item, no ifs, no buts, no bad rolls, no random stat spread, no titanforging: it was the item you needed. It felt good to get it, as such items were real upgrades. And then you could move on to your next item. That is how RPGs work. Slow, permanent, real upgrades and progress on your character. And it made all content relevant because that was the way the game worked, there was a constant real path for every single player. You did content in the order you were meant to.

Where is the fun in grinding for months (so you pay more sub fees!) for some stupid item requiring an abitrary amount of special currency, reputation, or resource when by the time the next patch rolls around, it will be rendered useless and meaningless? You don't even get a tabard or a title for doing it. Maybe even you do, but even then, so what? Everyone else has it, too.
Every item just feels like a meaningless over-formulated piece of shit, there's no magic to it. It's just an item level with a graphic on it and some stats. It's not some attainable known that drops from that cool location.

Flurry Axe? Kang the Decapitator? Krol Blade? Bloodrazor? Wall of the Dead? Hurricane? Arcanite Reaper? Staff of Jordan? Skullflame shield? And many, many more I can't name right now.
All of them became legendary items in the eyes of players and you know why? Because they were known knowns and every single one was a real upgrade to your character when you got one, no ifs no buts. They were tangible things. A part of the world.

WoW used to be one long journey that you shared with everyone else on the server. Some people might be further along in that journey, and when they adventured with you, it was a treat. But you could undeniably catch up to them if you continued to journey. It made your journey worth it.
No matter what, time spent on your character's journey was worth it. Because every new item you got moved you further along upon it. It was a finite, definable adventure, at least until the next expansion 2 years later (and particularly during the pre-Burning Crusade years). You could see in one glance where a player was at on their journey... you didn't even need to inspect them.

Now WoW is a series of small journeys that become irrelevant the moment the next small journey arrives. Everything that happened in your journey prior the current journey becomes meaningless and irrelevantly shit. There's no sense of world, no sense of presence, no sense of a shared adventure, no sense of a community, no sense of special-ness. You don't belong in the world. You are just a collector of item levels, achievements, graphical appearances, mounts, and titles. Every single thing in the game has become a UI element and takes you out of the game's world and into the fact you're playing a game.

What is your favorite Memory of WoW, Anon?

>Playing a human priest, Burning crusade
>The pre-patch for WotLK comes out and we get a new talent tree
>At the very bottom is Circle of Healing
>Circle of fucking Healing
>Heals 5 people, in a large AoE, and smart-targets the heals to the players that need it most, based on their health-percentage
>It also had zero CD beyond the global CD, and could be spammed repeatedly
>My eyes immediately light up. My hands begin to tremble. I hurry to a priest trainer, and reset my entire talent tree to make sure I get Circle of Healing
>Then I queue for Alterac Valley
>In a serendipitous coincidence, the enemy is at the bridge before the Alliance base, with everyone at a standstill in a state of a permanent brawl with no victor
>IT'S TIME
>I spam Circle of Healing until I run out of mana, then I sit down and DRINK IN A BATTLEGROUND to get more mana, then continue to spam it, over and over
>The Alliance pushes out of the choke, then across the field, then right into the Horde's base
>The 20 minute stalemate ended the moment I joined
>My healing stat is so high that it was the equivalent of the next 3 top healers, combined
>So I do it again, and again, and again, and AGAIN, until my battlegroup's Horde players learn to target me immediately, and all of the other priests that jump on the Circle of Healing train
>It's not surfed until Wrath comes out, two months later
It was like snorting coke off of a Draenei girl's tits into one nostril, and snorting meth of of a different Draenei girl's horsecock into the other nostril.
A killer high I can imagine could be matched plowing Jaina's cougar pussy while Thrall watches from the sidelines and cries.

Maybe an odd one, but I fondly remember wiping in a Magtheridon pug for 13 hours back in original BC
I would've dipped much earlier but the raid leader was so eager and positive and I was morbidly curious how much longer he would keep trying until he gave up or mentally broke over people fucking up the cubes lol. I think we cycled through like 70+ people as people would leave after every wipe
He personally thanked me after we finally killed Mag and gave me like 5k gold which I used to buy epic flying

This is, I believe, the culmination of all the regression that's been happening at Blizzard for years. This character basically has it all - black, broccoli hair, crippled for no reason but also oh so wise and strong womyn. Completely unfit for the original setting, this shows how the insane propaganda push has effectively destroyed a once great, fantasy setting. You can't have fantasy in Blizzard anymore, you must represent every politically correct dogma in a fantasy game - because it's important to push propaganda on everyone, everything and everywhere, no matter if it fits even a bit.

i can only assume theyre talking about the latest expansion scandal for wows new mini expac the war within. They had a deluxe edition with like 3-5 days advanced expansion early access if you payed an extra 40 dollars, so all the paypigs bought it and were leveling on saturday or friday when the expansion is "releasing" tuesday. This caused an outrage among half the playerbase with the other half defending it because it made the launch nicer and they just wanted the paid mounts and clothes so theyre not bad for getting early access this isn't me shitposting . The twitch views were like 200k max, whereas with dragonflight it was like 800k, and now today with drops from what I saw it was 100k, tho i only woke up recently so don't know if it was higher earlier today.

>diversity bullshit before any inclination towards passion about lore and game
>classes completely losing their identity and feel
>complete casualzation of gameplay and gear
>level squishing every expansion
>gear becoming irrelevant any no sense of progress etc

>obsession with gear score and other shit like that (they put it into the game?)

hearthstone is becomling total shit and irrelevant. they re alive sure but they ll keep shrinking

Microsoft bought them. microsoft does nothing but close the studios they buy. They cant maintain them, much less improve them. Maybe they ll fire every single person and replace them then keep the blizzard name for advertisement, which would be Blizzard second death.

With success there comes managers, with managers, there come women, with women the chemistry of the teams get jumbled because nerds are just not equiped to deal with them, without nerds your game becomes bland.

That's the simple version of it. The 'noticing' version is wondering why is every person in this chain of command regarding money is Jewish, and why does their religion require all "goyim" and "slaves", (read: non-Jews) to be genderless, or rather the Talmud tells them that the goyim cannot be either man or woman, they need to be shapeless golems. There's far more to it and I'll engage honestly if you're interested, or give you proof if you require it.

It's probably profits. Horse = 15 minutes of work, Starcraft II = 5+ years and tons of work and money, so even if the horse makes 10% of the money Starcraft II made it's more profitable.

It's more of the same. Leveling is the same with reskinned zones and models. Quests are the same type of shit you've seen in every post Cata expansion. Cutscenes are somehow worse than previous expansions. You can expect the raids and dungeons to also be reskinned and filled with mob types you've already seen before. Nobody cares about Pvp, so they can feel free to remove the War part of the game name any day now.

Percentage doesn't matter, total revenue is the only important thing. You can't just make mounts constantly and expect all of them to sell crazy. An investment of $100 making $100.000 is still less than something costing $10.000.000 and only making $20.000.000.
Sure, it's still less of a risk to make something $100 but you can't base your financial decisions on that and expect it to always work in the long run

Amon was already hinted at in brood war
>>
>>686862269
Amon could've been a workable concept. Brood War introduced the hybrids and the true ultimate evil working in the background anyway, Amon is just an extrapolation of that.
Then they decided to not extrapolate at all and left him as "evil space guy who does the evil cause he's evil".

The main issue is that the game is impossible to get back into, or start over. I played that game for like a decade and when I decided to
check it out again I got like 20 different quests, no coherent way forward and a ton of barely connected content.

The only playable thing is classic.

So I dropped it and decided to play FF14 instead.

I find it hard to believe that WoD came out 10 years ago already. I remember disliking the game because gear and progress had no purpose since welfare epics came into the game full-swing during wotlk. You might as well wait until the final patch so you can do alll the content at once and at that point I realize I might as well wait until the final expansion and do it all at once.

M+ is also aggressively gatekept after the first week of a season. It becomes more difficult to get back in the longer the season goes on. It’s such an obvious problem with the game design that they refuse to do anything about. There’s so many small issues with the game design that get ignored that cumulatively lead to people leaving for better run games. The failure of WoW is purely due to shitty management.

It doesn't mean, but it sure as hell implies.
Something bigger and badder than Kerrigan and the Overmind is out there, and its nefarious plans are executed through Duran and the hybrids.
SC2 made that the evil squid boy. It didn't have to be evil squid boy, but it had to be something.
>>
>>686864068
Are you aware that mad scientists are usually evil? Especially ones that spend the entire expansion manipulating other people, including the lead villain?
>>
>>686863928
>there's this xel naga thing creature who has been pulling the strings all this time
It also doesn't mean that it couldn't be just that.
He serves a greater power, which benefitted from kerrigan's zergification and the overmind is gleeful for the acquisition of kerrigan and speaks highly of her necessity for his plans. Purity of form, purity of essence. The xel'naga's modus operandi, protoss and zerg.
All of this is in Starcraft 1 and Starcraft:Brood War.
But keep clinging to straws that nu-uh it totally only went to shit in Sc2.
The writing wasn't as clever as you remember it, because you were a kid.

"A power that has slept for countless ages, and is reflected in the creature within that cell" sounds like he's talking about the Xel`Naga who created/nurtured the Protoss and the Zerg. Where are you deriving "evil" from this?
>>
>>686864070
well it also implied the existence of a cult like faction, a fourth faction of something else entirely, a robot faction or anything else
they just went to the worst marvel-like route possible : big bad guy + prophecy

>>686864154
"mad scientists" like the Xel`Naga were, and we have no reason to think they were evil.
>>
>>686864251
Because Zeratul, who we have known to be an honorable and just man, says that he perceives an abomination. And Duran does not deny it, but merely chuckles and derides his "typical" violence.
You really can't understand storytelling if you can't tell that Duran's intentions are not for good.

Zeratul is a literal child in his eyes, since Duran is much older and actually knows what his own plan is. Zeratul's righteousness isn't reflected in his ability to judge character or understand Duran's plan.

People were talking non-stop about WoW even during Shadowlands, where I could keep up with the story just from the shit people were laughing about at the time. I know absolutely NOTHING about dragonflight and nobody is talking about it. Now there's a new expansion apparently, still nothing about it's premise or such except they seem to be going with the usual "oh fuck people are losing interest lets do WARRRRRRcraft again even though Warcraft since the first game put politics over actual Warcraft and that made it interesting?!"

I see them throwing sponsorships everywhere to the point where even popular content creators who have never so much as mentioned a blizzard IP are now being paid to play this shit. It really does appear that it's fucking over.

Maybe he's an archeologist researcher scientist dude that learned about the Dark Origin™ of the Protoss and the Zerg and now wants to recreate/reawaken the Xel`Naga as he believes their knowledge and ability to influence the growth of other races could be a magnificent thing for the universe?

Why can't you have an RTS timeline and a MMO timeline? The only reason WC4 can't happen because Blizzard is so greedy, if they don't make billions of 1 game they don't make it.

They used to be genuinely fun, a really nice friendly vibe among all players so I didn’t mind how disgustingly commercialized they were.

Yes and that's still some nuance and interestimg interaction over retconning the xelnaga into gods and the overmind into a dindu
Literally just make anon an exploratory researcher with a small group of other xelnaga that escaped the overmind's genocide and returned to the koprulu sector horrified and angered at both their creations for betraying them and killing their people. The good story beats of 1 and BW were the morally grey alliances and selfish politicking, something still possible if some renegade xel'naga finish their experiment just to weaponize it but not if you just make sargeras

That "memory" is a straight up lie. CoH was added to the game right before TBC launched. The version with no cooldown lasted for just over 2 years - essentially priest got away with it because everyone was stacking resto shaman for bloodlusts, so a lot of people never noticed how busted CoH spam was.

It's interesting that your "memory" can invent an entire story which is easily fact checked to be a total falsehood.

these types of trailers are not new, they like to spam lower quality in-engine 'trailers' alongside the actual cinematic trailers, and you can divide up the actual in-game cutscenes in the same way. pre-rendered in-engine, in-engine with lipflaps and vfx, or just straight up raw jank using emotes
>the actual pre-rendered cinematic for expansion release

>examples of in-game cut-scenes with decreasing production value

https://youtu.be/-7wXksJN7Jg (in-game, special animations, lipflaps, etc)
https://youtu.be/sti8XP-Sfpw?t=43 (in-game, using emotes and basic animations)
>trailers for the game
these include the one you guys just saw and ones where they just dont do animations and show actual gameplay while describing expansion features or content

they actually hired 2 machinima guys to do trailers for them because they manage to get more production value as one guy than blizzard does as a team for these in-engine mini videos
this is an example of one of the outside hire doing machinima for them. very obviously in-game but it just has a different look and tone that is way better than the one blizzard did themselves

I've maybe just grown to prefer XIV's combat over time, but it always just feels more fair to me than WoW. There's so much that happens in WoW that is completely out of your control, there's nothing you can do about it, you just get fucked over by bad RNG or bad timing, multiple mechanics lining up at the wrong time, some retard in your raid doing one thing wrong and causing a wipe.
In XIV, if someone fucks up, it's extremely clear who messed up and when, the feedback is a lot more instant, you can learn and correct your mistakes much faster, and when you know a fight you can just do it with no bullshit.
Pre-endgame I get it though, there's barely any combat at all during the MSQ, it's basically a visual novel.

Your post is in violation of the FFXIV movement. You see, FFXIV is the world’s best and most popular MMO with over 30 million players. We have the best story, the best mods, and most importantly, it lets you play other games. For just $13 a month, you can play all the other games you want as long as they’re free. Isn’t that a great deal?

>>686878858
So true. MMOs all have bad gameplay, and you agree with this. But Blizzard has been convicted of mass rape. They’re so fucking evil it’s insane. Like, I stopped playing WoW sometime in Wrath but I just know it’s a terrible game. The FFXIV free trial is great because it’s just a fun time to watch cutscenes and then you can go play other games 200 hours later.

Yes, and that’s what the vast majority of people are going to experience with this. FFXIV has over 200 hours of cutscenes, and that’s not even an exaggeration. It’s a bad video game. The endgame can be considered bad too, since it’s dependent on “snapshotting”, but that’s a bit of a hard pill to swallow.

DF and TWW are two mostly self-contained storylines. It’s a 20 year old game, what do you expect? Do you really think it’s a good idea to require people trudge through hundreds of hours of a visual novel with terrible “cutscenes” and no gameplay? Why would you WANT that?

Snapshotting literally isn't an issue after a few hours of raiding, once you learn how it works, you know how it works, and it works consistently, the same way, every single time. There's no mistaking it, if you were greedy and got caught, you know it.

I think selling an amateurishly written three hour campaign for full retail price is scandalous, but your standards sound a lot lower than mine.

>>
>>686880150
Do you even play the game?
It's extremely fair and easy to understand, there's a big solid hitbox that happens the moment the attack resolves, if you were in it, you got hit. It's separated from the animation because the animation might be some flames or gas or whatever, something that isn't an easily identifiable shape, something that you could argue "Oh that hit me" or "Oh it didn't". All the abstract shapes are gone, the abstract timing is gone, there's just a super clear hitbox that happens exactly when the castbar completes. It couldn't be simpler, and yet simpletons still get upset by it.
>>
>>686880081
It's because the """people""" who still play r*tail are unironically addicted to the game and refuse to acknowledge that it keeps getting shittier, so they delude themselves into believing it's good so that their hundreds of dollars of investments in pets and mounts won't go to waste.

You do not like video games, and that’s okay. WoW has over 7x the amount of FFXIV players so it’s not like it matters. Imagine, BILLIONS of people on earth play multiplayer games that don’t require snapshotting. Companies have spent endless amounts of money to fix netcode and make multiplayer feel seamless across all genres and platforms. FFXIV stands alone in accepting mediocrity as “the standard”. Do you really think you’re that amazing?

I do like video games, XIV is a shmup, your character has a single pixel hitbox, when you know how the game operates it is one of the smoothest possible games, you can greed perfectly, you can slide just outside of one attack and back in without missing a beat. It has an exceptional rhythm to it once you learn how the server ticks.
I don't know how you can disagree unless you've just never engaged with the game beyond the most casual level possible.
>>
>>686880439
At least Dragonflight has gameplay. At least there’s SOMETHING for you to do. And the story can’t possibly be worse than ARR, which many fans agree is pure drudgery yet is just as long as DF but without the gameplay.

It's because wow couldn't even get "spikes coming out of the ground at preset positions" correctly in shadowlands in the painsmith fight so now no game can do hitboxes correctly because that's how things work to the wowfriend brain.

There IS no gameplay for the vast majority of the FFXIV campaign. 90% of your 300 hours are spent in cutscenes, reading text, or walking. This isn’t an exaggeration. The fact that the bar is so low should be embarrassing but somehow it’s not. Imagine DF times 6 plus no gameplay and somehow much, much longer. Jesus, a video game is supposed to be a VIDEO GAME.

IDK if i would say unfinished it just feels very, dull and lack luster for a zone. It feels like half the trees are missing Or like they were going for something along the lines of the Scottish highlands? I think thats what the intent of the zone was to be the Scottish highlands? but it feels like its missing the mark.
Im trying really hard not to be negative and enjoy it as much as I can and so far i am, at least in leveling, the quests are not flooded with millennial tier writing which im fine with. But the first zone at least feels REALLY really fucking dull. The ringing deeps feels a bit better, i have not gotten to hallowdeep yet.

Also leveling is really fucking weird this exp. Im not but about...10, maybe 20 quests into the ringing deep and im already half way to 77 with more or less 2 and half zone to go.

Because blizzard has suffered from a horrible problem of arrogance.
Blizzard as i have said over the years basically commits 3 major cardnal sins that keep holding it back.

1) Blizzard never expands on features that have potential if they are not a smash hit right off the bat. Think Warzones, garrisons, order/class halls. Things like that, they are great ideas but they never build on them, they are a one and done.

2) They refuses to accept or acknowledge when some one does better then them. People steal ideas and concepts from wow all the fucking time, but wow refuses to do anything that another game does better, IE housing.

3) They will change shit for no reason other then changing it. This one pisses me off because they just wanna stir the pot to fuck with thigs. They dont understand that you just need to leave well enough alone.

>>meanwhile Season of Discovery is languishing in low effort recycled garbage with class balance patches every 5-6 weeks because there's only one part-time intern working on it
I'm still angry over classic, they literally just rehashed every expansion. Like how lazy can you be?

they have regular kill and fetch and siege quests yes but a large amount of quests in the MSQ are 'go talk to this guy, go talk to this guy again, fast travel to this place, talk to this guy, come back and talk to the first guy again' and each of those talks are like 5 minutes of reading and watching animations minimum

Probably just harrassing and messing with people in World PvP. Going to Westfall and spam killing Farmer Saldean would make it so nobody on the entire server can continue to quest in the zone. You'd eventually get an entire army of alliance questers whining and hollering at you. I even had people make Horde characters called "Anonsucks" to yell at me. It was beautiful. Sometimes max level Alliance would show up and I'd just go in stealth and keep killing Saldean while they search for me. But of course now the cucks at Blizzard made quest NPCs respawn immediately and added so many layers that things that like are impossible.
