It's funny Blizzard is clearly trying to make the game playable on XBox soon. A console that might even be around for much longer as the entire brand is now dying.
>>
they'll probably do a native version of the consoleport add-on for controller support but I don't really see it coming to consoles. Maybe though. Years ago I thought they wouldn't release on console because the players would be crippled without add-ons but now that they're killing those it seems more likely.
>>
How much easier can you make this game?
>>
>>722498309
Turn off combat. Make it a ERP simulator.
>>
>>722498343
The game already has a 1 button rotation. You just have to hit 1 key and the game will play itself.
>>
>>722497501
>playable on XBOX
Retail WoW will be canceled after the current saga and every x years a new anniversary progression server will launch - all characters are fated to retire in their PoH and roleplay.
WoW 2.0 will launch as a console-friendly experience but Microsoft will fuck it up with MTX sloppa out of the gate and it will never take off.
>>
isn't the only issue that wow is entirely dependent on third party tools that blizzard refuses to just implement within the game itself proper

>>
>>722498605
Quite the contrary. The game itself has become hollow and addons are the only reason to even have a shot at playing it.
>>
>>722498605
The issue with WoW is it's a fucking dad game. You just log in, get on your flying mount and brainlessly zoom from each of your dailie / weekly chores that were mind numbing before but even more thoughtless now with the one button. Everything dies super easily and everyone can aoe farm.
The only point of playing retain is to get FOMO cosmetics or grind other cosmetics.

WoW is pretty adaptable for consoles. Especially for ps5 because of gyro. WoW never had "XIV tier" rotations either (played last day of vanilla, BC and WotLK until Arthas raid).
Don't understand rotation masturbation either. Look at GW1 for example. The MMO with biggest amount of builds (only EVE beat it). And all thanks to limited skill slots. I heard ESO had similar system but it is ruined by light attack weaving.

It's not necessarily about making it easier. Just less retarded. Random example, do you like hitting Slice and Dice on rogue even though half their moves refresh it anyway?

The issue WoW's had for ages has been its too complicated. Sure you can just mash buttons and do fine for questing and stuff, but if you want to be a competent player and do high level dungeons/raids, the barrier to entry is pretty high.

>>722497501
Been hearing about the console port for about a decade now. Two more weeks?

Dumbing down the game is a good thing.
If poopsockers with, in some cases, decades of experience, 1500 hours prepping per raid, have teams of programmers and data analysts going over their combat logs, and legions of fans giving them free stuff need 1000 wipes to clear a raid then I'm simply not going to bother trying.
Raid difficulty went off the rails during WoD and kept getting worse ever since.

>>722499484
I think you're doing the coping here. Combat should be engaging but "rotations" shouldn't even exist unless players invent them organically, if you ask me. Each ability should be a tool that is useful on a singular level. Any move that, say, is a fireball that is shitty and only exists to give me charges to spend that make some other fireball better for 4 casts or whatever should be pruned, that shit isn't hard, it is BORING
>>
>>722500047

IMO rotations shouldn't be more that 7 buttons. Some of these rotations are like 10+ it's fucking retarded.
>>
>>722500184
Rotations are the result of class functionality being met with the optimal way to maximize damage with a set of tools. Even as linear as FFXIV rotations go, the only reason they come to these conclusions is because it's the neatest and most consistent way to get the highest amount of DPS using the class's tools. You could try to do some strange nonmeta circle of abilities, but you tend to then fall into cooldowns not aligning, party synergies being out of time, or sometimes even just losing out on a huge potential for burst damage that you can distribute elsewhere when the boss jumps away.
>>
>>722500496

>How much easier can you make this game?

Most classes require 2-3 buttons to play sub-optimally but still "fine". But the new talent trees added so many procs and passives so that "it's optimal to use this skill only when you have X resources and Y buff but Z ability is off cooldown and you have at least 1 charge of Q ability but no more than 3"

It's overcomplicated and unfun and shallow at the same time. It's kind of amazing in a weird way.
>>
>>722502483
It's real, and objectively bad, but what these threads won't post are the actually really fluid and nice-looking cutscenes using the in-game engine with custom animations and lipsyncing. Not the rendered ones, but the ones they've been doing recently. Why these exist like that webm are beyond me though, they might as well just play it out in-game if they don't have the time to make it look good.

Dead game.
I'm playing Classic and shit is so empty. All they had to do was keep out trannies, women and brownoids and their golden age might've gone for much much longer. But instead you get characters talking about feefees, the tiring strong women tropes galore and faggot homo characters coupled with TERRIBLE art design. Which looks generic at best, AI puke the rest of the time.
People don't even answer you. Everyone is fearful of being banned or just snobbish. Fucking NPCs. I've yelled a bunch of things and have yet to be banned and if they do ban me I will never touch WoW again.

MMORPGs just can't be done anymore. 20 years ago every MMO was full of people (even the crappy ones like KAL Online/Knight Online), now every MMO dies within months if not weeks. Just what happened to the zeitgeist. I'm too dumb to figure it out. I know a big deal is social medias but don't people care about immersing themselves in fantastical worlds?

Nexus is non-linear in the same way that Ocarina of Time is non-linear if you enter and exit dodongo's cavern to get the bomb bag so you can do Jabu-Jabu first. Yeah you can technically do the bosses there in any order but there's blatantly an order that was intended by the devs and there's no reason for players to deviate from it at all unless they're being autistic. Same goes for every other dungeon in WotLK. They're nothing like BRD where there's like 4 entire routes that you can take from the entrance to get to the end.

>zoomers ruined MMOs
Not sure if you are aware but MMO stand for MASSIVELY multiplayer online. Without enough people the game just turns into a single player game with chat.
Zoomers not caring about these kind of games, the games just die, because the older generation that played them is slowly dying off. Some people were 30-40 in 2005 playing WoW or whatever. Not everyone was a teen or early 20 something. Half of those that played it back in the day are already dead or just too old to do it anymore.

>>
>>722503282
They should have hidden as much information as possible from the players. Keep the math and minmaxing out from the game, same with all the addons showing information for everything etc.

The primary draw of MMOs was the novelty of mass sociability over the internet. To Zoomers and Gen Alphas who literally grew up with social media, it's the norm.

You take away the social aspect from MMOs, there's very little that stands up.

What even is your point here with regards to what I posted? I said that zoomers primarily don't give a fuck about MMOs, you go into any of them and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that isn't 30+ and is actually new to the genre.
>Without enough people the game just turns into a single player game with chat.
Which is funny because for how much MMOs have devolved into lobby simulators where you barely have to talk to others, this was exactly what the core audience for MMOs (i.e., the same fucking ones that kept playing) were asking for and fully embraced.

the people who are truly interested in pushing mythics will not be significantly hindered by lack of addons, especially if they will be making encounters easier to compensate.

its the 70% that the single button assistant was a dps increase for that will be hindered most by airhorn mods disappearing. the people that only 'care' because they don't have to put in the effort. these are the same people who will kick suboptimal classes from heroic dungeon pugs and aren't worth catering to. but they won't unsub, they've spent too much money

It can easily be done, there just need to be a will to do it, which is the hardest part.

Can't, FFXIV goes pretty much JP ONRY JP ONRY on all staffing since Squeenix wants as many in-office or provably working from a Japanese home as possible. Hence the English speakers among them like Kate Cwynar and Koji Fox are still living in Tokyo, and usually English speakers only hear about them hiring if Yoshida says it in a live-letter since the "we're hiring!" plugs only get posted to the Japanese lodestone

Setting aside how inane that would be. How do you expect people to play a game that hides how it functions, other than by collectively observing it and talking to other people to confirm their findings, then spreading those findings?

Obviously I understand that wiki's and guides will be made. I'm just saying they're essentially making games worse since it removes a sense of exploration and immersion.

They can still minimize the amount of information you can mine from the game and display on addons etc.

>>722506320
No. This is not true at all.
>>
>>722506171
Same way people did before huge wikinization and datamining of everything? FFXI and the way people thought crafting worked is good example of how myths can be made around mechanics that isn't laid bare to solve. SWG and how much there was rumors and hearsay about jedis is another one.

Don't read guides? Are you some sort of schizo?

4, 8 or 12 skills max (lb/rb to switch between sets of 4), attack button, jump button, use... and the sticks for move and look (basically like a shooter), and maybe a button for tabulate between targets.
Or they could dumb it even more, jump, attack, that new "macro" (auto rotation) button for skils and tab, thats it, 5 buttos.
>>

The game devolved into the playerbase expecting you to have addons telling you what the boss was doing and what you were supposed to respond with etc. It was pure cancer.

No. You're just unsocial schizoid who can't even communicate with normal people (not your imaginary playerbase) in MMO. No one is forcing you read guides. You can make your own "blind only" party or guild whatever. You can join similar type of guilds. You can find them on internet. You're ill.

No, you missed the issue. MMO players are dying off, zoomers are unironically too smart to fall for the MMO trap unless profoundly mentally ill (trannies), so companies are trying to compromise.

Retail is insanely stupidly complicated anon. Wow fluctuates in complication, I think this and MOP/WOD are the peak of class complication. What happens is the need for change inflates class and boss design.

Class can be in a perfect state, but the new expac Must have new features, so the new expac must change the class, this turns into a never ending spiral that can only be circumnavigated by a manual intervention whole scale simplification of game systems every now and then.

Bosses is the same, there's still really only like 10ish MMO bossfight archetypes, so they have to pepper 9 million little intricacies on this particular dragon encounter for the current expac so raiders don't want to gouge their eyes out

There's always retard classes like ret pally, warrior, frost mage, but almost everything else has fallen into the realm of "niche community of like 100-1000 players who actually have any sort of result and know how to play the class" Demon Hunter is supposed to be a retard class and at the start of the expansion pack it had an 18 step opener and even now you're manually counting orbs you're collecting on the ground so you don't go over 7 and lose the reavers glaive you have up before you can spend it on the combo of chaos strike, eye beam, blade dance, vr, meta, eye beam, blade dance

But I'm not from pakistan. Listen you see the problem isn't in the guides or playerbase. (You)'re the problem. The terminal case of 4channing or maybe even shartying. You can't just communicate with normal people in video games. Back in good old days I played FFXI and EVE. Do you know what was so special about them? One server in EVE and only one region in XI. You play with people across the globe on the same servers. And you talk with them. Most of them didn't know or understand English. But it was true unique MMO experience and it was especially funny in FFXI because japs and game's "dark souls" style sign communication. It was fun. Now look at yourself. You're seething about jeets, pakistan and trannies because of broken english on 4chan. This is why you don't have friends in MMO.

To be fair that's impossible to do even with some vanilla sets. Blizzard's art team was always god awful at conveying material types. Anything that isn't blatantly cloth always just looks like plate, and class themes aren't even that consistent outside of warlocks and deathknights generally looking edgy

Still, my guess would be
>probably warlock because of the bat shoulders and the fact that it kind of looks like cloth, but there aren't many non-robe warlock sets so I can't be certain, otherwise maybe it's a rogue set.
>paladin since the plumed helmet makes it look kind of dignified
>warrior, but it's glowing and looks a bit edgy so maybe death knight
>shaman 100% because it has an animal skull on it and it overall seems more magically themed then what hunters usually get, and those are the only two classes that get a lot of animal parts in their sets.

Oh boy another WoW addons thread! Let's sum up without even reading it
>People who say addons are bad for WoW admitting they are Heroic raiders at best or haven't been subbed in 10 years
>Said Heroic raiders or washed up retards saying that the only reason they don't raid Mythic is not because they can't, it because they totally could if they wanted to which they don't (lol)
>People saying the peak of WoW design happened to be when they played it while not realizing C-list Mythic players in modern WoW are better than HOF equivalents from a decade ago
>People arguing that relying on third party developers to make WoW fun is bad on platitude alone despite no other game existing comparable to WoW to make that comparison in the first place
>People simultaneously arguing that CE content is absolutely impossible ballbuster content that only the ultra-sweats could ever complete and that's why they should get fucked over AND addons trivialize CE content and they're just crutches and that's why CE players should get fucked over
>No addon-hating anons EVER posting ANY proof that they play modern endgame content

Reminder that addons rot your brain so much that Max (mythic world first raider btw) had to look up fucking XIV mechanics of all things on youtube because he couldn't figure it out himself
>>
If this is the reason they're apparently raping the Addon API, then that will be infuriating. Not to mention homogenization of the gameplay, classes etc. It can still be approachable, but they don't have to take away everything that makes it interesting and then undermine all the addons that allowed people to fix what Blizz fucked up before.

the addons allow itnerface changes like using the old vanilla interface

addons would normally be unecessary but Blizzard nuked the game so that yo uneed addons to make it playable

by example you cant remove "show objectives/hide objectives" near the +/-. you need a command line that chatgpt told me to add and make your own addon because no one did it. little shits like this. OFC if blizzard wernt retards you wouldnt need addons but thats a big IF

Admittedly T2 is pretty much the measuring stick to which all class fantasy set armor are compared. Others did okay jobs too, but there's a reason that T2 is pretty much considered THE example of differentiation by class fantasy.

Listening to non-CE raiders about addons is pointless because addon reliance never affected them. You don't need addons to play their 1 weekly M+4 key or pug Heroic
Listening to WF raiders about addons is pointless because they have no interest in how fun WoW is and would gleefully suck all the fun out of WoW, even for themselves, if they thought it would improve their WF rush (see: thd arguing for the return of Azerite Power because as a WF raider he has to play 24/7 for months on end anyway, AP just lets him see a progress bar while doing that even if it ruined the fun for everyone else)

He spent the entire time hyping himself up and saying how easy it would be to clear blind because he's a mythic world first raider and WoW is the far harder game, only to get caught looking up strats afterwards by showing his Youtube search history

Lies. The whole game is designed around these subhumans. That's why they implemented PQR directly into the game.

yes, you can play the game with a controller, but in such a gimped way that it's pretty much only good for solo questing and being a dead weight DPS in dungeons/raids.

If only you knew how far ahead WoW was in its time compared to all the other games. WoW was premium as fuck compared to GW1, Flyff, EQ, Silkroad, etc. It was and still is so fluid and responsive. It's world was lush and alive. There was history of things or referrences to WCIII all around you.
It was magical.
It was THE MMORPG.
I remember the first time I ran into a Ziggurat only to discover I could actually go inside. My mind was blown. No MMORPG had this depth back then.
>>
>>722520458
>It's world was lush and alive
no it wasnt lmao
theres NOTHING alive in vanilla, the world is incredibly empty and shallow
> My mind was blown. No MMORPG had this depth back then.
you didnt play EQ and it shows

>no it wasnt lmao
>theres NOTHING alive in vanilla, the world is incredibly empty and shallow
It was way more packed than the shit I had to play because I wasn't allowed to play WoW and could only watch it on YT until 2010 when I finally got my own bank account and played the shit out of WoW for 6 months straight and had a blast.
>you didnt play EQ and it shows
No because it looked like the shit I was stuck playing so I didn't bother looking at it any further than that one YT video way back in 2007 or whenever.
>the first time i walked inside of this tiny square with a retard standing inside it it blew my mind
I loved Warcraft III and finished it god who knows how many times so yes, this was big deal to me.
I also used to make my own maps for personal use and I remember even playing with switching models or altering them. I went pretty deep into it back in the day.
>Meanwhile DAOC had entire un-instanced dungeons
Never heard of it.
>>
so why didn't those guys post their logs? they were so adamant that addons being removed from the game would harm it and it would have helped their argument immensely if they'd have posted a simple screenshot
