Nintendochads win
>>722391706you clickbaiting knob jockeythere is nothing about nintendo in that article>there are no new battle pets, new pets will not be able to battle>new pets are click to capture>old pets are still battleable>it is highly unlikely new pet battle features of any kind will be added>but there is as yet no sign of them removing existing battle pet features, nor any public reason for this being done
>>722392483>new pets will not be able to battleOH NO NO NO NO
>>722391706It’s only in wow not a separate entity so Nintendo will lose this one
>>722392534don't get me wrong, I think this is a dumb thing to doI've not played wow since early BFA, and I have no plans to go back, I hate nublizz and I want them to sufferbut battle pets were fun, not complex, an easy system to maintain long term, and made a small % of the playerbase happy at no real cost.it was NICE.removing it is presumably a dev cost cutting method, maybe the one guy who maintained it quit and nobody else knew how.
>>722392483Yup, nothing to do with nintendo at all. Absolutely nothing. Just ignore the huge lawsuit against battling pets next door.To be fair, it doesn't actually say anything about suing but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they got a letter from Mr. Nintendo about this.
>>722392625It was dumb and broken you couldn’t win always needed the super duper legendary 1 of a kind cunt you could only get once a year or from paid content to win battles
>>722392694I don't see how discontinuing new additions of it but not removing the existing stuff would be a reasonable response to a lawsuit or threat though.
>>722392696>always needed the super duper legendary 1 of a kind cunt you could only get once a year or from paid content to win battlesYou have no idea what you are talking about.
>>722392483Means that team got sacked and they making cutbacks due to only a few thousand players now because of how gay it is
>>722392771Actually I do most battles end game you were unable to beat it was fucking retarded
>>722391706>Blizzard fucking kneel to a company who don't even play on the same field (PC)Holy shit.
>>722391706>WoW is changing a stupid feature>"NINTENDO DID THIS!"meds
>>722391706YES! WOW TRANNIES NEED TO DUE NOW!
>>722392823>always needed the super duper legendary 1 of a kindTo begin with there are no legendaries that you can use and the battles are fucking piss easy in general. You have no idea what you are talking about and it shows.
>>722392780you know what surprised me about blizzard not cutting a team for ages?Diablo 3 seasonal updates. They kept that shit going for free right up until D4 launched. New seasonal mechanics and themes, rebalancing to keep ladders fresh, very occasionally new legendaries.It was not much. I half suspect there were like two devs working on D3 seasons who had put a JANITOR CLOSET label on their office and hid from the bosses so they couldn't be cut as a cost saving measure.they didn't have to keep D3 getting tiny drips of actual attention for that long, but they did, and I am surprised at that given how retarded blizzard usually is about money.
>>722391706You motherfuckers have a problem
It'd be funny if it was true after Blizzard tried to be pals with Nintendo to get Tracer into smash.

>>722393516Nintendo sucks.
>>722393569You hate them so much you can't stop thinking about them
>>722393605You just made that up. But you slurp them so much, you can't stop defending them for free.
>>722392913>I half suspect there were like two devs working on D3 seasons who had put a JANITOR CLOSET label on their office and hid from the bosses so they couldn't be cut as a cost saving measure.I'm pretty sure one of those two guys snuck off the D4 team and started working on HotS by himself, since that's been getting random updates for around a year, including an actually significant mechanical rework last month
>>722393516>it's just a coincidence, STOP NOTICING THINGS
>>722393605I hate them because they're an awful company who are actively hurting the video games industry for the sake of corporate greed. Just like Sony, Activision, EA, Microsoft, and so many others.
>>722393837man I liked HotS. Problem was its mechanics made it more casual friendly (good, there was space in the market for a less competitive moba) but blizz wanted it to be an esport because they're still salty they lost out on dota money, so they pulled most of the support once the hots league failed.Also they switched from deterministic but grindy rewards to lootboxes at some point and I was annoyed you couldn't just *buy* the skin you wanted by grinding for X thousand gold any more.
>>722394023I will kill you.
>>722393516That would be absurd because Nintendo has nothing to do with whether or not the Earth explodes. We're discussing a scenario involving two video game companies using a gameplay mechanic which is involved in a legal battle. It's asinine to imply equivalence.
>>722393569mods, mod this guy
>>722394117mods, take this guy outside and give him a cavity search
>>722394117>not in MinecraftPrepare to get v&
>>722394047>they pulled most of the support once the hots league failedIt sucks, if they'd just put it on Steam then I'm sure it'd get a lot more attention. Then again, if they bothered putting it on Steam it'd probably get hit with the censor stick since it's filled with actually attractive women and has a global chat where people regularly say nigger>couldn't just *buy* the skin you wanted by grinding for X thousand gold any more.Well, in the current version of the game you can
>>722394205>in the current version of the game you canthat's nice but I have sworn off giving blizzard any money or time. Burned too many times, too many things fucked up in too many ways.Shame, too. I know that HotS Yrel is exactly what I want.

>>722391706>>722392483Why are Paltards this utterly buckbroken?And remember, it was Pocketpair a few weeks ago throwing modders and other games with monster capture & battle mechanics under the bus to get the heat off of themselves.
>>722391706This Pokemon vs Wow shit is 20 years old when WoW brought out pet monsters and mounts, what the fuck are you guys doing bringing this shit back up?
it does seem like a bit of a big coincidence that wow does this so soon after Nintendo got their patent for summoning characters and having them fight. WoW has been doing battle pets since MoP and only now they're stopping? And this has absolutely nothing to do with the patent trolling? Idk man
>>722396517kek
>>722396517What's the pro-Nintendo argument? That people who don't like Nintendo exist? Dumbfuck.
>>722399207>What's the pro-Nintendo argument?bing bing wahoo
>>722399207>What's the pro-Nintendo argument?That I'm upsetting schizos.
>>722391706HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH
>>722391706All Nintendo executives, lawyers and their families should all be killed in the most painful wayI hope Japan is flooded by 100 millions jeets, niggers and sandniggersThat subhuman country deserves the worse for ruining games Japan deserve a third, fourth, filth and so on nuke
>>722391706I hated pet battles. Still not playing WoW again.
Remember Nintendo is not made by magic Nintendo nameIt's made by people with names, families and addresses Always remember that
>>722396517this is based actually. you should be made fun of for b uying remasters and ports of baby gamessociety is FINALLY healing
>>722396896>Why are Paltards this utterly buckbrokenBecause they're made up entirely of anti-Nintendo shitposters. They don't even like palworld, they just hate Nintendo.
>>722392694>Just ignore the huge lawsuit against battling pets next doorShould we also ignore that the lawsuit isn't about battling and that Nintendo doesn't own a patent over battling?
>>722393605you can't stop sucking their dick, bitch
>>722391706Stop spreading false narratives, retard. There is no lawsuit. WOW felt bad about having been infringing Nintendo's properties for so long and they removed pet battles to set things right and avoid potential trouble later for what they've done.Nintendo is NOT suing them right now
>it's realdamn i cant even hate nintendo at this point, they just do what they want and get away with it.
fuck nintendo and their petty patent trolling
>>722392694Ah yes of course a small indie company without much legal power like *checks notes* Microsoft are doing to be scared over patent disputes in a foreign nation
Just a heads up for any lurkers here, not all patent litigation is patent trolling. Patent trolling specifically is defined by the repeated lawsuits against multiple entities over a short period of time over a patent they filed but haven't realised with a product.It's also impossible to do outside of America due to strict rules regarding it.
>>722391706>NINTENDO SUES WORLD OF WARCRAFTthey didnt. but you made me reply. taking a fart in this bait thread right now
>>722400938Nintendo didn't own a patent over anything it's suing for, until they decided they did.
>>722402510Which means that they had the patent before they sued
You're just creating more negative karma for sony.
>>722393516>nintendo loses to palworld>they decide to go with the samson optionI believe it
>>722396896>Pocketpair: you should sue Dark Souls 3 modswhat a clown of a company
>>722403040They still don't understand that they aren't supposed to be arguing concept. They're such morons.
>nintendo sole existence is now making wow a better gameholy BASED
Fake news.
boy, that sony brazil news really broke him
>>722396517least mentally derenged snoyjeet subhumans lmao
>>722396517based. it was high time someone called out tendies for their subhuman corporate drone behaviorimagine worshipping a multi-billion dollar corporation and making it your personality
Honestly it's a miracle the battle pet system lasted this long. Always felt like a legacy mechanic that they somehow managed to do the barest minimum to reset expansion after expansion.
>>722391706I wonder what bad news for Sony we will receive this time.
>>722405690*cough* Y-yeah, imagine tha-that.
>>722391706based nintendobased jewswhites will be replaced and you won't do shit

>absolutely no mention of Nintendo or of even a lawsuit >the old pet battling feature is still staying in the game and not being removed>IT WAS NINTENDO NINTENDO NINTENDOOOOOOOOOOO>there are several live service games that drop side features solely because the devs get sick of keeping it updatedYou guys mentally ill.
Nintendo only sued pocketfair because they are japaneseso it's easy for them

>>722403040>>722392483>>722396896you people do the same thing stop being faggoted hypocrites also recognize a false flag thread when you see one and stop acting like reddit retards who blame people because you don't like them
>>722399815Why would you upset yourself? Just play with your Switch 2.
>>722409098>Y-you do the same thing.... No it won't show you doing it....
>>722407797What causes this type of NDS?
>>722409326oh, really what about those threads about ban 3 fandoms shit i guess that doesn't count since it aligns with the supporting nintendo or some shitalso, im not going to bother replying anymore because this thread is genuinely pointless and doesn't say anything about nintendo or pokemon at all so im just going to wait till it's actually something verifiable news besides opinions
>>722391706>Article doesn't mention "Nintendo" or "Blizzard getting sued" even once:/
>>722391706BASED BASED BASED
>>722392483is there a single human in this world that was actively playing and enjoying pet battles
>>722409724this whole thread is made by a literal clickigger trying to make palworld look le bad because they can't do their own research also, it's funny that people are saying based or good even though that will just make people turn on nintendo/pokemon.co more or whatever the fuck the pokemon's lawsuit firm is ran by since most /v/ can't even make up their minds on who's Sueing them
>>722409612>oh, really what about those threads about ban 3 fandoms shit i guess that doesn't count since it aligns with the supporting nintendo or some shitOh you mean the ones you lot make to shitpost about Nintendo and then spend the whole day replying to yourself?>im not going to bother replying anymore because this thread is genuinely pointlessOf course it is, you know no one will believe you. It's utterly pointless for you to continue here so may as well just find another site to let your manchild rage out on
>>722410097>trying to make palworld look le bad because they can't do their own researchYou guys couldn't do that in the first place that's why you still call what Nintendo is doing patent trolling.
>>722392483>pre-emptive protections against Nintendo’s recent Pokemon patent.Nintendo is once again being cancer.
>>722407418The amount of chris chan level autists that defend em tooth and nail even with the insane lawfare and patent faggotry is the actual derangement.
>>722410469are you even sure you do research because none of these are even true but are what it's also the only one i agree with is the ball one that's only ones that's understandable the other ones not so much since its super subjective since like one the mechanics from gta is literal 1 step away from being that mechanic so im not getting this thread at alland before i actually leave this time stop schizofagging and making excuses >>722410362
threadly reminder
>>722391706Bro pet battles are fucking dead, like 1% of the playerbase play them/do them and since the system was never innovated on none of the new pets are ever used, everyone has been using the same fucking battle pets from 2012
>>722410871What the fuck did you even try to say here?
>>722411134i just forgot the word 'the' because i accidentally cut them out mb its feature i scripted to remove repeated words its iffy but i meant to say i agree with the ball mechanic patent one that's actually understandable the others not so much since in gta 5 you can semi automatically swap between flying vehicles in air or water so it makes no sense since that's one step away from being that mechanic which is kind of subjective to me
>>722411630>i just forgot the word 'the'The syntax of the entire post was fucked anon.>since in gta 5 you can semi automatically swap between flying vehicles in air or waterThat's not a thing in GTA 5 nor is it part of the patent, you don't even know what you're talking about.
>>722391706this wouldn't be in violation of the patent so idk why any of this matters
I was in a hardcore raiding guild for over a decade and battle pets were unironically my favorite new feature wow added in my time. It's sad to see them go, especially since this is an obvious cost cutting measure. If they actually expanded the system every expansion a little bit I might actually still play.
>>722411028this is the real reason as to why this is happening, nothing to do with le scawwy nintendo patentsshit's already bloated as hell and no one fucking does it, no reason to make even more
>>722411849>Syntax i just saw that mb i didn't read the sentence at first i should've spaced out my words and made them align but also the 'the's' was also a mistake i made which was the first thing noticed first before i clicked post >Thats not a thing in gta 5I said semi A.K.A manual and yes it does, look at the submersible vehicles they don't transform unless you either are about to enter the water and the flying vehicles can change but there's no restrictions if you can use them on land or air which in my opinions counts but i don't know
I can't wait for all the griftubers to make videos about this.
>>722410871I wasn't aware there are animals to capture and ride on in GTAare you sure you got the right game, or patent for that matter?
>>722412608>I said semi A.K.A manual and yes it doesThen it isn't remotely fucking close is it? It doesn't even change to a different model either. You have no idea what the patent even is.
>>722412764why does it have to matter if its only animals i thought this was about mechanics and knew you were going use this excuse and if i remember right the mechanic didn't really specifically mention capturing the animal i would agree if did so im kind of stumped about this
>>722413414you're stumped because you're an idiot who's messing with things he doesn't understand, even on a basic levelI'd tell you to read the damn patent, but you obviously do not possess the faculties to properly process such a verbose and long-winded documentthat's why I'm telling you right now to stop worrying your pretty little head about these things and let the people who are getting paid to do it figure it out, because this shit ain't worth anyone's time otherwise
>>722413270semi and automatic is literally 1 step, all you're doing is making manual into an automatic feature so I'm not really understanding how this mechanic is unique in any kind of way if also, gta/rockstar had the option to do that since its one step away from being automatic
How does Digimon Survive in the face of such legal power?
>>722412457no idea about the current state but a lot of my friends were still pet enjoyers in legion. if they invested even a little bit into the system in later expansions it would probably still be fairly popular.
>>722413414>why does it have to matter if its only animalsBecause the patent requires the player being mounted upon another model and quick switching into another. Keep in mind that's incredibly oversimplified but even that is still a completely different mechanic to the gta one you're talking about.
>>722412674grifting is when saying the emperor doesn't have clothes on
>>722392483Palfaggots are really living in a separate, made up reality. No wonder their takes are always retarded.
>>722413875but i did anon i read through all of it and nowhere in it did specifically say that it requires the mechanic only to be used after capturing a creature (the only thing i found was configured which could mean twos things set up which means optional or to shape something else) reminder, they referred to these so called "animals" as characters which fits under vehicles like KITT which doesn't make sense unless it's some sort of subset they didn't specify also correct if I'm also wrong didn't PLA didn't actually let you fly captured birds but ride rental birds or something and if i asked you to read the patent to me but since i know it's a shit ton long i know you, won't but will you acknowledge it didn't mention anywhere in the thing that you're required to actually capture an "animal" to be able to use that mechanic that's why im stumped by lot of dodgy inconsistencies and this isn't even just a biased thing that's most of the sides are split and it's not just because they hate nintendo it's just iffy and doesn't really make sense with some of the patents that's why ask on all types of sites to get an actual plausible explanation
>>722416693then what about ark aren't you're able to swap out of creatures im pretty sure you can buts it's not smooth but it's still somewhat close
