Is this going to be the most flop-on-arrival WoW expansion to date? I can't find anyone who cares outside of like 3 perma-addicts in /wowg/.
>>

its out?

Are there any omorashi emotes in this game?

Sorry chud, but WoW is experiencing a renaissance.
It is nearly as high as it was during the peak of its lifecycle, during Classic/Battle for Azeroth.

Midnight will probably see numbers in the 9m+ range, maybe even topping 10m
>>
>>730938903
holy fuck... it's happening...

XIVbucks on suicide watch

hope so, so i dont have to ever see a wow thread again but i know the retards here will eat that shit up anyways

I simply want blizzard to die, for real, and take MMO's with them to the pit.

And bonu for the vulperatranny killing himself
>>
>>730937820
they are finally trying to back to wow roots, I'm not gonna play it though
>>
>>730937820
They gutted its content to focus on housing that people already stopped giving a shit about because housing is better in theory than in reality.
Everyone loves the idea of housing but not the reality of it.

if you didn't like the last one you wont like this one.

Chat is this real?
>>
I watched my friends play during the last expansion and felt relieved that I didn't want to play. it's so boring and tedious.
>>
Only good thing I can say about WoW these days is that the armor is still cool to look at.
>>
>Only new features are housing and Cro-Magnon night elves
They will never give people what they ask for or want. Housing is such a fucking nothing feature like Garrisons.
>>
Every time I try to start playing again I get filtered by how gay and insulting everything is to both my sensibilities and my intelligence. The last time I uninstalled I didn't even make it out of character creation because I saw the fucking night elf burn scar cosmetics they added.
>>
>XIVtroons already coping in this thread
WoW will continue to be the top MMO on the market. Seethe and dilate.

Considering that they canned that one writer who copy pasted kingdoms of almular lore he wrote into wow, and the only remnants of his world building left are the new elf race, coupled with the fact they got the old writer from BC and WotLK times makes this Expansion have promise. Especially since the update is also rebuilding Quel'thalas to continue Night and Blood Elf storylines.
>>
>>730940670
>they fixed everything this time!
yeah but i’m just not going to buy it
>>
I used to play this every day, went to every midnight launch, went to blizzcon, was addicted in every possible way.

I can't tell you what this is, if its even an expansion, where its set, who the villains are, what new classes or professions it adds. I have never seen a soul talk about it either.

You don't know how good it feels to not be a blizzbuck anymore.

hello asmon
>>
>>730940670
wow writing is a group effort
the people who ruined the lore in SL are still employed at Blizzard today

this "danuser era" and "metzen era" nonsense is nothing but a scapegoat, the idea of 1 guy having definite power over other writers in a woke company is an insane proposition and if you had a shred of intellectual honesty and frankly intelligence, you'd realize that very quickly
>>
>>730937820
>I can't find anyone who cares outside of like 3 perma-addicts in /wowg/.
You people forget that not only tryhards play MMOs, more than 80% of WoW's playerbase just does dailies, fishing and maybe 2/3 mount runs, then either logs out or goes to Moonguard to sit AFK.
No matter what Blizzard releases people will continue buying it simply because they want to be in that world, log in, and chat with friends while building their House or whatever RP/ERP people do nowadays.
>>
>>730942161
the vast majority of people don't play on rp servers or do any rp

what are you smoking lil retoilet?
>>
>>730941658
Not saying they fixed everything. Just an upward trajectory.

When was the last time you logged WoW? People unironically RP-ing and typing like absolute faggots on every Realm.

if you look at the bfa trend and classic launch it looks more like half the players are playing classic

Actual good change to the gameplay for once.
>>
Zero hype is genuinely good. Hype is the death sentence of products because reality can never live up to imagination.

The expac will launch, and the content will be good, decent MMO content, and will be judged fairly, instead of hyping it up as the next REVOLUTIONARY ERA DEFINING GAME CHANGING EXPAC OF ALL TIME

Fuck hype, i’m looking forward to it

these addons sound fine, dynamic weakauras were the big problem, you can’t and shouldn’t try to punish the people putting work into customizing their UI with people who don’t give a shit, you going to remove keyboard shortcuts because shitters don’t use them?

What is even the reason to get this expansion? Is there even a single thing?
>>
WoW was always Fischer Price garbage and was popular because it appealed to normal fags. The fact it has so many threads on /v/ for over 20 years should show who it's target audience is.

whats even the fucking point?
every dungeon is "pull half the instance and aoe them".
rip cata launch heroics.

4 new and 4 rehashed

Every expansion beyond WotLK should be retconned into a plague induced feverdream, TBC and WotLK should get rewritten.

>help players learn a reliable dungeon route
dungeons being designed for esports is a mistake (just look at Fellowship), this does nothing to make that better

Ill buy it when the patch drops so I can play the new spec
Honestly the spec is all I care about really
>>
>>730945674
>cata launch heroics.
I was there
they even removed Grim Batol from Timewalking
most wow players are braindead retards
>>
>>730945864
While I agree with the sentiment, if we accept that this is just the fate of mazed plus, then adding a simple guidance feature is just objectively an improvement to that design.
I don't like doing M+ but my friends do and I don't like letting my friends down, so for someone like me this is just a pure positive, all I do is follow the lights and remember that path, I don't need to waste my friend's time or go read some gay guide on a third party website, I can just get some keys done and get back to delvin.
>>
>>730945864
this is what running mythic+ does to a man
>>
>>730946069
I wish they put more dungeons in to timewalking, I much prefer variety over seeing the exact same 5 on loop.

wow has been complete millennial slop since at least cata-mop years but it's so funny how they went from a bad game to what the fuck is this mobile tier pile of crap after BfA

The issue is they're doing things outside what the base UI is capable of.
>>
>>730946657
I'm a millennial and I don't play classic, it's for idiots chasing 2006
>>
>>730947265
it’s not an issue because it’s trivial shit like “reminders” that any idiot can do with their brain or sticky note on their monitor
>>
>>730938903
The addon talk has scared alot of us away. I started again during dragonflight and played tww. I'm onboard with them getting rid of some addon functionality but I'm skipping an expansion. I just know their nigger blizzard version of weakauras is gonna suck for at least a year.

you don't need weekauras for anything besides heroic/mythic raiding
