What is there to hype exactly? finally getting player housing? another elf adjacent race? one new spec instead of an entire class?
more raids? dungeons? the same pvp?
wow is the same as ever, the people who play it wont quit and anyone who tries to start it gets drowned in a sea of systems and references they cant hope to understand.
you either love it or hate it. it's the same taste for the last 10 years.

Yeah shit on it if you want but don't use the reddit bullet points which have been debunked. Arator takes the lead for a huge amount of quests and isn't incompetent. And the "light bad" quests are just a suggestion some people are using it irresponsibly but for the most part it's used for good
>>
>>734271942
Not surprising. From what I've seen it's extremely low effort, even for Blizzard who are the kings of low effort.
There's nothing new, except housing. Just the same couple dungeons, a raid etc. People have gotten tired of it after... a dozen expansions?
Well that's what I assume, I haven't paid any attention to what they're doing. But I'm probably right
>>
>>734272613
That's even worse. You're literally forced to extend your time with listening to a quest. Whether ignored or not. It's like waiting for an ad to finish.

>>734272623

Yeah if Shadowlands somehow wasn’t enough to dissuade you from continuing to play then absolutely nothing will.
Every time I hear someone say they still play retail it’s not because they genuinely believe the game is improving but because it’s a habit they’ve developed over 20 years and they don’t see the point in stopping now. The sunk cost is too strong.

Retail WoW gives me the same vibe as those gay fantasy fiction books.
Just really fucking soft, pansy, and fawning.

Like it is pretentious almost. I am expected to be all up in awe just because there are two gay centaur and I am expected to think that this gay tokenism carries the game being a boring hamsterwheel skinner box that is coated with a veneer of soft quasi-dystopic woke hysteria by way of corporate mania.

No, it's true. That's just how it is. That is exactly how the game is. It insists upon itself. It went from just being a good MMORPG to some kind of vehicle for a message no-one wants to hear, and assumes whoever has the misery of hearing it is hearing it for the very first time when, to be fucking honest with you bro, it's lessons people learn at like 10 years old. It's so trite. I would feel so embarrassed to be playing retail World of Warcraft as an adult man.

Thank you

What helped is that the majority of the Light was still considered good and all the Fel demons were absolutely evil.

In Midnight, it's just all about Light is bad. I havent seen much with Void being evil. In fact, theyre trying to sympathize the void with those stupid void npcs.

They are not putting that shit in the game to spread a message, they are doing it to receive DEI funding from companies like Blackrock and Vanguard.

Basically this is what happens. A company petitions Blackrock or some other company for DEI funding. They receive a list of things they can do to raise their DEI score. If they do enough of these things and raise the score enough, they get the funding. An entire economy exists around doing this.

Light blindness is might be one of the worst plot points they’ve come up with yet. Whatever nuance they had set up is lost and I hate people cite the Scarlet Crusade as justification for why the light was totally corruptive and evil all along.

World of Warcraft (retail) will never recover, it just won't. The brand is dead outside of classic, which still enjoys SOME measure of actual goodwill from a wide enough demographic of video game players. The original release is a classic. It will never not be, no matter how much current Blizzard wishes it was not.

For real. Retail WoW has no credence to anyone except a small crowd of home decorator pot-smoker moms, reformed alt goth chick types, Redditor dads, Redditor numales, and eastern European / Brazilian esports nerds who act like sneering assholes. It's insultingly bad.

Why would you care if some shitter who isn't you used DBM or Weakauras?
or used a cooldown manager which you can still use, or used nameplates to make the fights easier to read which you can still do.

the writers are extremely short sighted and dismissive of the existing lore of the game. if the blood elves and amani aren't back at eachothers throats after this expansion then these motherfuckers truly have no idea what they're doing and will handwave every conflict in the setting away for the sake of selling their pet characters as strong leaders by giving them these moments where they're like 'heh i could have my army kill you but i won't because i'm so cool'. an entire fucking war goes on pause because zul'jarra showed up and flexed her strong womyn authority and you're telling me she's sooooo cool that even liadrin now suddenly wants to stay and live with the amani for a while? before the expansion is even over? uhhh did they forget that she's not a rootless cool wine aunt? what are the people under her command supposed to do while she plays house and finds herself in zul'aman? bitch you have a fucking job. you are going AWOL. the future is going to look pants shittingly retarded even compared to the way things are right now

Every game is complicated. WoW is no different. It's just WoW fags think somehow they're special and need to know everything or they'll fail.

All Blizzard needs to do is make bosses have less health, mechanics take longer to execute, and tune cooldowns, diminishing returns, etc for PvP. Then you can play the game perfectly fine without addons.

If you don't understand why this works, then you need to play other games than WoW to understand game theory and design. Less information = less perfect play = more human mistakes = more interesting gameplay.

No it doesn't you can clear normal and heroic with zero addons and feel zero impact, mythic is the only level where you could argue you need to add-ons to progress this is pre-nerf mythic btw, not several months later mythic.
And at the mythic raiding level anyone whose actually participated knows you basically are following an addon list to even enter the raid, unless you're in a friend only casual guild that only will attempt the first 3 bosses.
>They also provide a clear advantage, so raids and PvP are harder without these addons. They're basically cheats.
They're cheats that people have accepted becasue it's been a part of the games culture for the last 20 years, cheats mind you that still exist if you think extra information is a big enough difference to complain about, platter is still in PVP trackers are still in so nothings changed but the lowest hanging fruit if you're actually going to so far to compare them to wall hacks and aimbots.

Know what I'd like to see? Them go back on their FOMO bullshit. that would likely recall far more people who used to play. Kinda like how plenty of people were hoping that Legion Remix had the Mage Tower and other stuff restored but no, it didn't For instance I heard this bullshit about Midnight laumch
>oh, they're getting rid of the AOTC Mount, Royal Voidwing even though its separate from the Feat of Strength. Apparently the Mythic / Cutting Edge one is staying, but just dropping to a rare drop instead of a guaranteed one
>Oh, look there's a special pre-expansion event which even drops a giant mech mount and has tokens you can turn in. Oh its all gone once the event is over , hope you didn't miss it
There is probably a lot more, but if they just committed to a pretty consistent policy to rotate old shit back in and give you other chances to get it, more people would come back. There are different ways to do this ie AOTC mounts only drop if you toggled on a "maximum item level for this period of time" flag for the raid, so its always a challenge to do it right and can't just be overgeared. Otherwise, it becomes a similarly rare drop. Stuff that comes from certain events will eventually, become some sort of Timewalking repeat, or are available via another manner instead of gone forever.

A game running this long needs people to want to come back, catch up and do the cool stuff they missed in the interim etc..and Blizz' decisions are antithetical to that in some regards. Now, they're only getting more stupid by having other things like
>finally getting Housing after all these years and you know what SPECIAL REAL MONEY HOUSING CURRENCY
Its all such a pain but there are easy fixes they could do that would encourage people to return and enjoy the game instead of restricting shit so that a smaller and smaller cadre of players who never left can lord it over each other or some shit.
>>
>>734276797
It’s typical for 4chan honestly.
I remember Preach, big streamer, always saying he never cared about the story or followed the lore yet, as soon as he stopped raiding, one of his biggest complaints was that the story was bad and unengaging.
It’s just retards who don't know what they want. So most MMO players are retarded.

This can't be serious, right? The Light is somehow evil? I mean, didn't they already kind of do this back in the day with Legion where one of those giant windchime emissaries of the Light became a raid boss when they are corrupted (M'uru, Sunwell etc), and how it used to be that Blood Knight belfadins were not actually using the Light directly but were basically siphoning it from an unwilling one of those creatures..but later on that was fixed and the story evolved both on the Light's use being more or less a universal good and BE having a similar connection to it as other Paladins etc. The hinting at "maybe the light is just dominating shit" has come up several times including that one Draenai female Paladin but it was always proved that was not the case.

>Classic
Maybe its just because i played Vanilla and all the other "classics" back in the day, but I have no desire to go back and play the same old thing again with a slightly augmented set of older talents or abilities etc... except for nostalgia I don't see the point for oldfag players. Maybe some others who didn't play those eras its different but the point should be on them unfucking Retail which was supposed to be what TWW > Midnight > The Next One is supposed to be about but it looks like they're batting 0/2 so far, except for shit like housing as a concept.

>No it doesn't
It 100% does provide an advantage. Because it makes it far easier to clear raids and gives an advantage in PvP, it's a cheat. There is no arguing against this. Just like any other cheat in any other game. Just because Blizzard allows and these cheats makes no difference.

Blizzard saying they fucked up and are removing cheats is great. The fact that it's a change in the direction of the game that has been a staple for 20 years is awesome! There is no value combat addons provide to the overall gameplay experience, they are purely cheats.

The gameplay challenge will be exactly the same. If the average player takes 20 attempts to kill each heroic boss for the first time, then it will still take 20 attempts. If the average player gets to Mythic +5 after 2 weeks, it will still be the same. If it doesn't, they'll just tune it.

If in PvP some class is super strong because players can no longer see their cooldowns, they'll adjust whatever abilities need to be adjusted to be balanced for that.

Here's how the game will change:

Shitty player with tons of addons -> Goes from ok to shitty
ok player with tons of addons -> Goes from good to ok
good player with tons of addons -> Goes from great to good
shitty player with no addons -> Goes from garbage to shitty. Now on par with other shitty players
ok player with no addons -> Goes from shitty to ok
good player with no addons -> Goes from ok to good

The fact that shitty players with tons of addons will now be worse than ok players with no addons is the driving force over this addon removal hate.

Putting aside your jew rant

>FOMO bullshit
You're invoking shit that you clearly don't understand. Why do you think they removed those things like Scarab Hammer Event or the ZA bear , or how the Corrupted Ashbringer event in SM etc.. where only 0.001% of the populace would see some lore thing or entire guilds had to dedicate themselves to getting their leader the big fancy thing etc. That was a different level of FOMO shit that, after the pushback they got, they broke away from it. Much of that shit was basically just doing what Tigole and Foror had remembered from EverQuest (for better or for worse) in terms of raid exclusive stuff. They did put an end to that sort of FOMO stuff where a large storyline basically was only seen by a handful, or it took a whole guild to get some sort of gear preassigned to an officer, over the first couple of expansions.

What would come later the FOMO shit was more about time and was even less justified because it was more about doing X during Y, or specifically removing shit for the fuck of it (Brutasaur mount removed, then apparently went only on BMAH where it goes for one autist who bids literal client gold cap each time, rather than all the other goldsink mounts) rather than doing X when its hard. Even stuff like rare event shit or AOTC is annoying - I have a (non-corrupted, glowing) Moose mount from when I was helping carry others to get it but as far as I'm aware that mount is no longer available which is some bullshit. I stopped playing at the end of Legion/start of BFA and someone told me that the Hippogriff mount I have from that pre-patch event or whatever is still not available any other way. This kind of shit, even stuff I actually have and others don't. Hell, I had an actual Feldrake from before the Twitch shit.

You don't keep a game going this long on a handful of fags who want to lord their shit over everyone else and complain if anything comes back that makes it less 'special'.

she has zero relevance to Raubahn. Raubahn was an epic prisoner who became the right hand of the Sultan.

Faerin was a diversity child who happened to be a long lost Lothar (who were all white), and can wield the light better than Anduin who was trained by literal masters of the light. But no, she is better in every way even though she is underground for trying to survive.

There's zero similarities between them.

You don't keep a game going this long on a handful of fags who want to lord their shit over everyone else and complain if anything comes back that makes it less 'special'.

what is the value of an opinion from some random on 4chan crying about the old days compared to an industry shattering genre defining juggernaut that has persisted for 24 years against all odds?

they don't care what you or people like you think they should be doing. theyre content with cultivating an audience that doesnt agree with you

Its one thing to say that even some of the Naaru are not as perfect as they appear but since that was done before A) you can't just retread it like its something important and a new SUBVERT EXPECTATIONS bullshit and B) the Light itself, the relationship to Elune, all the fucking retcon shit that was changed a few expansions ago after the big giant lorebook came out etc.. is different. Saying that even extremely powerful entities who think they're doing good can fuck up is one thing, but saying that the Light itself is bad and actually the Void or the Old Gods or whatever the fuck is the "real good who only acted bad because they had to' is something different. I've not played for years so I'm sure I'm missing something but wasn't Xal'tath the voice that Shadow Priests head from their Artifact

Of course the idea that each major old male hero everyone loved has to die to make another one armed, one eyed, nigress paladin mary sue tell you to be better men is its own issue of course

The idea is that a mount that was only available as a several hundred/thousand dollar trading card years ago being normalized as Twitch giveaway is a move away from FOMO exclusivity; not a perfect one. I could have a big hissy fit that mine isn't as "special" anymore but overall its a better option (though I'd rather see the Twitch items be available in game somehow. Maybe they are now, as I recall some of the small loot card items became Trader's Tender stuff). More stuff should go that direction.

>industry shattering genre defining juggernaut
Holy shit, this one thinks Blizzard is xir friend. Okay, I know you're very happy that they made Chromie trans, but try not to leak all over your dialator . The game's audience has been contracting for years since BFA and part of this shit is why.
>They dont need you anymore CHUD! They have all the people who will pay for special housing items instead that means the game is so much better, let me hug my Faerin plushie!

They have a huge audience of people who USED to play, and they could get many of them back if they don't fuck up mechanically. Hell, EverQuest is still running and is much older than WoW, but that doesn't mean that its somehow beyond critique of game mechanics or monetization because the people who are playing it now are on the whole a small cadre of those who have been playing it since the 90s which only shrink. If WoW is starting from a higher peak, but they've seen contraction of player base with garbage like Shadowlands which is why they finally broke the emergency alert glass for housing despite it being 'in the works ' for years since there was a portal behind the portcullis in Stormwind decades ago. Its obvious the game keeps looking backward - stuff like MoP Remix and Legion Remix are two great examples and trying to get people who used to play to come back - if they want to do that more effectively they can cut out exclusivity FOMO bullshit.

Propped largely up by bot armies and yearly nostalgia-baiting. Have you ever seen the fat, retard androgynous creature that Daybreak (or Splitpaw or whatever they're called now) drags around with her single-noted script that there are big things in EQ's future (there never are). EQ's servers are running, yes, you're right. It's just that the appeal is less to a narrow band of 90s nostalgia freaks (but it will get us, usually when there's a new prog server) it's an even narrower band of all-around freaks who have (or maybe don't) the disposable income to keep 20+ active paid accounts running monthly, for all their boxing/botting/whatever shenanigans.

I don't remember the specifics of that one (outside of Remix) but making stuff less tedious for old expansions I don't see as a problem. If you have some best in slot or super rare thing during a certain period, I don't see any issue with it being more available 3 expansions later when someone is farming Ashes of A'lar, Invincible etc. Though I do have more understanding for
>I did X the hard way to get Y
rather than
>I did X during Z period to get Y, I am special even if it wasn't particularly hard!
Like the AOTC mounts - it would be trivial for the devs to set up a thing that if you want the 100% drop, you have to play through on Heroic with a flag that drops your stats to the maximum of what they would have been during that expansion. Hell, you can leave the Feat of Strength itself do during it during a given period, but the mount, titles etc.. should be available for those who do whatever the thing happens to be, no matter when, provided they adhere to whatever posted conditions. There are many different options to make this stuff less shitty. When I heard of others talking about Legion Remix, I knew many others who were thinking about the Mage Tower and the ability to get certain Artifact appearances they missed etc.. so they were frustrated that this wasn't really the case and some didn't really bother.

Especially after the BFA-and-forward fuckups, Blizz needs to signal that both with regards to storyline and monetization/gameplay mechanics/FOMO exclusivity shit etc.. they are passed the old bullshit and people have reasons to return while new players have reasons to give it a chance. Unless they want to cater exclusively to the people who loved The Great Censorship Patch of 2021 of course, but that's not likely to be a sustaining growth demographic.

As somebody that was dumb enough to actually buy WoW books, all of these female characters have been ruined. The fact that Jaina went through 4-5 phases of "kill horde" and "spare horde" got super fucking tiring and just feels like she's suffering from BPD and Sylvanas helping evil super satan by feeding him innocent souls until he starts quoting Lich King/Arthas was also retarded and last of all Maiev having all her character development nuked from Stormrage book and her hatred for Nelf Mages,attempt at killing Malfurion and then becoming Tyrande's right hand women is so fucking awful and garbage it makes me sick

Maybe you should get out of the gamer chair and hit the gym instead of looking to WoW for validation. Just a thought.
