1) This is brilliant2) I'm gonna play the living shit out of it3) Most of you fags are just addicted to complaining and would complain regardless of what the game was. Bunch of negative Nancies lolPS I like the new race, fuck you. Also they're gonna keep adding races so they can keep having specials for them, which is exactly what they SHOULD do. Blizzard is back
Where is the Xbox port
1. this is a brilliant2. i'm am to being play the living shit out of it3. most of you are paki and have no moneys like timmy
No new class?What's the fucking point? it's just the same boring game with new graphics? cant I just play classic wow or a private server for this?
>>747555736They literally anon, and I mean literally (yes, literally) said they are going to keep adding new content. You'll get your playable ogres and your new class, just have patience for fucks sake.
looks bad, not playing
>>747554094I expected this like half a decade agostill kinda cool that they are actually doing it
>>747555927Doubt, you'll be the first to play.
>>747554591Honestly shocked it wasn't announced. Especially given the switch 2 sponsorship.
>>747555736they're making all the dogshit unusable specs functional so it's like having 10 new classes
>>747554094the only things im kinda bummed about:blue elves instead of ogres/murlocsno tank rogue / healer mage to combat tank/healer shortages in dungeons like in sod"forever" is a stupid name60 bucks for beta access
>>747556276>tank rogueThat makes no sense fantasy wise
>>747556276They should do tank shamans.
>>747556505dodging instead of blocking makes sensein lots of tabletop games like baldurs gate your armor class dictates on how hard you are to hit, not what happens if you actually get hit
>>747556276Lol tank and healer shortage is not the issue of class limitation. There are plenty of wars running around in classic that don't want to tank. Mainly because it never gets easier since you'll never know when you get paired with some dps that out gears you and will constantly pull threat.
>>747556769>There are plenty of wars running around in classic that don't want to tankthe vast majority of warrior players are absolute retards
>>747556835Well they do have low int
>>747554094it's definitely a lot better than what I was expecting, it'll at the very least be really fun the first couple of monthsthe new elf race is really lame, they go on about how it's about keeping the spirit of the classic game and first thing they do is "yea, there were these smurf elves in some sky island that no one knew about for a million years, they've just been there bro", but whateverthe mishmash of different poly counts on everything is also low effort as fuckhopefully they learned the right lessons from SoD
>>747554094>I'm gonna play the living shit out of itgo and be gayI wouldn't mind a wow classic with new content, but current blizzard are retarded and can't make good gamesas you can see by the inclusion of the Sky'dorei from Sky'thalas
>>747557182sod was very fun mixed with questionable shit like incursions
I just dont like how they made it look.
>>747556943I don't understand why the new race is lame. Looks cool to me, I'll wait until they add the second race and make them free, then I'll play through their story
am i fucking blind or do priests not get penance?
>>747557583>I'll wait until they add the second race What's that going to be? Red pandas?
>oh boy, I can't wait to play a 20 year old game but now with new content written by mentally ill leftists!I honestly think MMO nostalgia is a disease.
>>747557583You pay a game worth of money to get a reskinned elf that has absolutely no lore background.You might be okay with this (as with the bullshit haranir) but defending it is stupid.
>>747557583they're just regular ass blood elves but different and special enough so they call sell them for 30 rocks idk
oh well
>>747557674Probably ogres or goblins on horde side, maybe high elves on alliance.
>>747557860Lamo
>>747554094World of Warcraft Forever is a gay name and the blue elves are regarded. This has low soul points.
>>747554094
>>747558041Ok the name is gay I'll give you that. But don't you dare speak ill of my new blue waifu!
based. we can finally go home
>paying 30 dollars for a blue skin on a race that already exists that was only put into the game for the overbearingly annoying chinese market that only play fapbait characters>paying 30 dollars more to beta test 90% vanilla content and 10% changes (probably even less since you are level capped to 30) and spoiling yourself on any new content>blizzbucks will defend this
>>747558417kek
>>747554094I have 4 main problems with this.1) It doesn't seem like there's going to be enough content for release and it doesn't seem like they are actually going to do anything about how a fuckton of people are going to min/max everything and just blow through it all in less than a couple of weeks. People will complete all the dungeons, then complete the raids, and we're right back to the same issue WoW has had for 25 years with "raid logging" and waiting for Blizzard to release new stuff.2) It seems like their release cadence is going to way too slow for people to be able to continue to constantly play the game forever, like they said they wanted people to do.3) They went on and on about how they wanted to keep the spirit of the original game intact, but then introduce shit like the retail UI and selling races + transmogs + mounts, which inevitably is going to lead to them ending up with a cash shop full of those things, just like retail.4) It unironically needs more changes. They are trying way too hard to keep things like talents and classes to be vanilla-like, but with TINY changes. They need to do more bold stuff and should have looked towards the private servers that they shut down and done what they did. Hopefully this comes in due time though, as they said "nothing is off the table" for future updates.TL;DR I'll definitely play it, but I fear that Blizzard hasn't done enough for release and I fear that they will be too slow at updating and releasing new things. And they will very likely ruin the "classic spirit" with a cash shop over time.
I'll prob hop on for a month but I simply don't trust Blizzard to even remotely understand what made Vanilla Vanilla. We're talking about a company that is literally allergic to friction. On paper a lot of what they're saying seems decent, but for example, they didn't mention if add-ons were banned (they should be, otherwise encounters will have to be designed around dbm again), and the blue elves already scream 100% retail, as does making tank takents on warrior get a bonus/only function when wielding a shield. Ofc dual wield warrior tanking was stupid thematically, but it was a direct result of what made classic interesting, which is that players were given imperfect, not fully thought through tools, that happened to benefit classes in ways different from what was anticipated. A lot of this new stuff just has the retail flavor of having specific things you should be doing in mind, which sounds like better game design on paper, but the deepest games are often stupid ones, not the ones streamlined like Wolverine PS5
>>747558417Millennibros.. finally our forever home
>>747558428It's a good thing because it gives them a convenient excuse to keep adding new races and paywal them. This keeps players happy and shareholders happy.You don't understand the brilliant balancing act going on here, and it shows.
>>747558504>it doesn't seem like they are actually going to do anything about how a fuckton of people are going to min/max everything and just blow through it all in less than a couple of weeksthe game, no matter what it does, literally cannot solve this problem, bvaus it is a problem with today's players and the times we're in, not the game itself. all they can do is implement systems that encourage in game socialization and hope some people will engage with them, but the truth is that the people of today value convenience above everything, even if it hurts the experience (which they don't consciously register and only feel in the resulting impulses)personally, I think I'll try to create a guild for people who want to play the game diegetically not relying on outside resources.
>>747558558I kinda see your point about the game design, but I don't see something like vanilla being made today or even if it was it'll get figured out a hundred times faster and then you're back at minmaxing meaning a billion warriors per raidIt seems like a good portion of the Classic diehards actually want to keep that kind of balance, which I just don't understand, there's nothing soulful about imperfect systems being perfectly exploited
This is impossible to implement according to blizzard btwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7ZEbEcpcvE
>>747558558>but it was a direct result of what made classic interesting, which is that players were given imperfect, not fully thought through tools, that happened to benefit classes in ways different from what was anticipated.But it didn't though.All the burden was just shifted on to healers. There's a huge difference of how stressful it is to heal a DW war tank and a shield tank.I actually enjoyed healing when they were wearing a shield. But when they were DW i never knew when the tank was going to blow up because i went to heal someone else in the party.I was playing a paladin which was an extra issue for me because paladins have no hots or shields so you have nothing to actually keep the tank alive while healing others.
>>747558842The difference is that with this one they haven't painted themselves into a corner and if class balance is fucked they can change it.
>>747554094So sick of you corpo defence force freaks.
>>747558847unless i can slide it to 0 im not interested
>>747554094Shill harder, fagbot. Not buying it.
>>747558781>the game, no matter what it does, literally cannot solve this problemThere's ways to solve it. They could make it more of a sandbox-ish experience where there would be a big focus on something like Archeage/Silkroad Online's trade runs to make crafting more important. They could also make it so that there's always some big faction events like the AQ40 war efforts. They could also make it into a PvP-based MMO with territorial control ala things like EVE/Dark Age of Camelot/Planetside/etc. so there's always something to do and log in for daily.Alternatively, they could also go very wild and straight up outsource things like dungeon/raid/questline creations to the playerbase by giving out some sort of mod tools and having a Steam-like workshop where people could vote on what they wanted implemented the most, and then every month Blizzard would pick 2-3 new dungeons and 1 raid from the top rated ones.This whole "the playerbase has to wait for Blizzard to make new stuff" idea is so fucking stupid at this point. WoW has ran on that for 25 years and it always ends up with people raid logging or straight up quitting because Blizzard is just not fast enough at making new content.
>classic +>colors gone>anti soul fog inthank you jizzard
>>747558417>no future>no prospects>enough fortune to live and die playing thisAccurate enough to hurt.
>>747554094When I watched the trailer I wasn't sure whether this shit was supposed to be the new Retail expac, because it looked like literal shit.
>>747558847What's the point, every RP goonertranny is going to have it set to max, anyway.
>>747554094Based. It just looks like Vanilla with some good things added from retail, and without the ADHD bullshit. I'll take that for $15, since I am not interested in playing gay elves anyway.
>>747559079>anyone who isn't a chronic complainer is a corporate apologistLol. Lmao even. Fuck off, I like the game and I'm gonna play it, cry harder.
>>747559472options are good, blizzard doesn't want to make options, modders do
>>747559164none of that addresses the issue...?
Why are modders so far ahead of blizzard?
>>747559149>0 breast size>100 hip size
all I care about is playing hardcore self found
>>747559694Unfathomably based and ssf pilled
I wonder if they'll ever try a version of WoW balanced for solo play or small groups. Been playing EverQuest Legends which is basically an official version of The Heroes Journey private server that was so popular the people who make EQ sued them.
>all that Lordaeron datamined stuff>all those Lordaeron logos all over blizzcon and merch>arthas arpg not announced>classic+ is just retail- and undercity still existsSo what the fuck was that all about?
>>747558558Vanilla is not a good gameVanilla is not a deep gameAddons were able to play the game for you in vanilla
>>747559628>none of that addresses the issue...?It literally addresses the entire issue of having done everything in the game and now there's nothing to do, except wait for the next update, which then leads to raid logging or quitting. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>747554094>1) This is brilliantIt indeed is brilliant, the fact that they are immediately adding blue elves who come out of nowhere lore-wise AND paid mounts while they were saying on stage that the existing lore was important and that buying your first mount with gold was an important moment for your character/the player is an excellent hint from those devs that they have no power and are lead by the marketing department. I can't wait to see the WoW token and level skip come out even faster on Forever than on Classic.>2) I'm gonna play the living shit out of itGood goy, don't forget to buy the collector edition multiple times to show Blizzard how much you like them, you can buy up to 3 per home address.>3) Most of you fags are just addicted to complaining and would complain regardless of what the game was. Bunch of negative Nancies lolNo, we just know how Blizzard is now and are holding them to a higher standard, but it's ok to like shit like you do too, after all, billions of flies, pigs and indians do to.
>>747559743They announced HC, but did they say anything about the SF toggle?I know you can enforce it yourself but I really liked how it made your banks individual to each toon
>>747554094I know you've got to pay for the blue elves but do you need to pay for the game itself, like an expansion? Or is it like current classic where it comes with the subscription?
>>747559750>I wonder if they'll ever try a version of WoW balanced for solo playThey are releasing a separate solo gamemode that's a roguelike/lite kind of thing. I think that's as close to solo they'll ever get.https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/news/talebound-wows-next-game-mode-is-a-roguelike-arpg/
>>747559902Just the sub.
>>747559847You would complain no matter what they did. You simply love complaining. Well guess what faggot I'm gonna be enjoying my undead priest while you continue to screech at the sky.
>>747559884>They announced HC, but did they say anything about the SF toggle?HC has had that since early 2024.>https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/article/24056987/wow-hardcore-self-found-mode-now-live
>>747559941Ok I guess ill try it out then thanks. But I will /spit on every gay blue elf i see
Honestly? Them enabling neo-graphics and adding some lore breaking OC donut Race shows that they're out of touch
>>747554094>retail 2.0
>>747560065Nope, for one simple reason: no flying.Blizzard did the right thing for once.
not paying for fagslop
>>747559958As I said, it's perfectly ok for you to like eating shit as your indian genes compel you to, there's no need to be upset at me nor am I angry at you for obeying your nature. I'll just stay on my private servers in the meantime, since, if we follow how they handled private servers after classic was announced, those are now safe for at least 5 years.
>>747559810>It literally addresses the entire issue of having done everything in the game and now there's nothing to dobut that was never the issue?>>747559768it's not that deep, but it is interesting, and it has friction, and that friction makes vanilla special.
>>747558781The real issue is that you can't actually socialise anymore. All chats are AI modded, if you say anything that's wrongthink you get banned. So people don't engage with others, and MMOs turn into single player slop.
>>747560065>retail but the world matters, there is no ADHD bullshit and no flyingYeah, it's gonna be peak
>>747554094Dunno how but the trailer gave me this weird feelings, like they wanted to invoke notalgia, but the dwaft character look like senile player that have this found memory of og wow, just alone going home in their heads when sparkle fart sprite that looks like smth out of nutrailers becons it to check new development. Drawf just agrees but without much of enthusiasm, just like he consumed whatever shit throwed at the player before he does it automaticly. He explore the old amusment park, there are changes, hes trusty low iq bear pet seem to enjoy, yet they are alone there. It feels empty, because it is, there a single other character, ud paladin, another player stuck in his baement mental prison of only playing whatever mmo is on the menu in this month.They both going through actions, but its not living. They just happen to breath while playing game exploiting their memories of time when they were really careless and young.I was a hard og wow and classic player, but this trailer told me everything I need to know about it and it nothing new. Nublizz is terrible company thats unable to capture the magic they so easly weaved during 90/early 2000. Moreover, they know it and still focus on exploiting users. Supporting this and familar companies make it so everything changes into this type of shit model much faster than it occurs naturaly.Call me debbie downer op, but maybe try something new, maybe diffrent. Revisiting old stuff can be fun from time to time, but fixating on it is most harmful form of escapism.
>>747560261>"I can't socialize without using the word nigger in every sentence"
>>747554094>fucking sky elves>30 dollarinosIt tells you verything you need to know, WoW Forever will become indistinguishable from retail.Besides that, I swore to never again give nuBlizzard another cent since Shadowlands.
>>747560306Yes.
>>747560252>but that was never the issue?You don't think it's an issue that people exhaust the content that's available and then stop playing the game either temporarily, or all together? If you don't think that's an issue, then I don't know what to tell you.This has literally been happening in every version of WoW since its inception.
>>747560293kek at the interpretation of the trailer, it's true that it fails to capture the actual spirit they're trying to go for
>>747560191Your tiny mind can't even comprehend how good this game will be. But please, continue throwing a tantrum, it's cute.
>>747560339Again that's brilliant because it literally means they will keep adding new races. And they will make the old ones free for each new race they add.How is this anything but a huge W?
>>747560293>>747560368>Disney music>cozy environments>characters being silly>no sign of war or conflictLiterally the only part of the entire trailer that looked somewhat like normal Warcraft was the 10 seconds where the Undead Paladin charges at the Dwarf Hunter. Everything else felt like they were trying to make a trailer for a Disney movie.What the fuck were they thinking?
>>747560518>>Disney music>>cozy environments>>characters being silly>>no sign of war or conflictThat's how classic plays in reality tho.What's the issue?
>>747560602LARP LARP LARP SAHUR
>>747560361no, I don't think that's the issue, and in your original post you don't present that as an issue either. You said the issue was going to be that players will just min/max, blow through the game in a few weeks. the problem here is not the amount of content, the problem is player behaviour. endless content is not a solution to how people engage with the game, not to mention that "a le reason to log in daily" aka some fucking treadmill is just misguided to begin with. ok, players will min/max, rush through the game because they have been conditioned to only think about endgame, and eventually clear all the content until the next update. but what about you? are you happy playing that way? you don't have to play that way and unlike some other games, this game actually does not encourage or ask you to play that way, so why do it? do you also use speedruns as examples of the baseline experience. moreover, what is wrong with having seen everything, and simply putting down the game? why do you want to log in every day and do some daily endgame thing? is that your idea of being pulled into the world? even if there was endless amounts of content, people would still distill a list of all the content that is worthwhile, and do their darndest to only engage with that content because everything else is "worthless".
>>747560478Low impulse faggots are mad because they're gonna buy it, just like beta access>oh no some retard bought $90 edition to get a 3 day early access where he can do virtually nothing as the season won't start for another two weeksIt's always the same.
>>747558847it looks like shit
>>747560668>and in your original post you don't present that as an issue either>You said the issue was going to be that players will just min/max, blow through the game in a few weeks>blow through the game in a few weeksAre you mentally handicapped or something?>the problem here is not the amount of content, the problem is player behaviour>endless content is not a solution to how people engage with the gameIt literally is though. You make content that CAN'T be min/maxed like long war efforts, crafting/trade runs, PvP-focused things, etc.>why do you want to log in every day and do some daily endgame thing?If an MMO does NOT make you want to log in every day, then that is a failure of a game. The fact that you are even questioning this, makes me think that you are very likely a zoomer and/or a casual and/or a woman.
>>747559693
Can't wait to play as body type 2 in WoW Forever
CLASSIC+ SIS NOT LIKE THIS ACK
>>747560339
Convincing WoW fans they're about to get duped again feels a bit tiring.
>>747561303>Implying it's not going to be red pandas or yellow goblins next.
>>747560293 #I mean no one is denying the Disneyfication of WoW, but fact remains that this will be the best MMORPG to play and nothing else will come close.Maybe if the gay retards making Pantheon actually made a good game I'd play that. But as it is right now Blizzard has the only good MMO.
>>747554094Sweet, can I play as my restoration shaman from 2008?
>>747560898you have been mindraped by cultural capitalism
>>747561568Nothing has ever come close to peak wow. We might be back
>>747557589blind
>>747562068You're not going back. You have your opportunities on private servers or you're getting fleeced.
>>747555826>just have patience for fucks sake.Niggah how can you say this shit to me, when people have wanted classic + since TBC? niggah have patience?
>>747554094>Blizzard is backHow many times have we said this?
>>747562298Private servers are full of retards whose idea of fun is spamming NIGGER in the global chat. Go play there if you've never outgrown your edgy 16yo phase. I want a civilized game.
>>747561597no that character is on retail.
>>747561303It's Coon Elf for me.
>>747563109thats fun though
>>747558504>>not enough content>2 new raids + onyxia (presumably with some revamps) on launch>9 new dungeons (2 of which are max level)>3 new zones>Legacy system that encourages you to roll new characters>Revamped PvP systemWhat do you want? There's plenty of shit to do>>Patch cadence too slow>2 new raids and dungeons, zone and legendary questline in spring (presumably 3-4 months after launch)>2 raids, 2 dungeons and more world content in the summer (presumably 3-4 months after previous patch)Nigger, what do you want? That's fast as fuck compared to literally any other MMO on the market>cash shop+transmogs+mounts are retailThat's not what makes retail, retail. The pace and feeling of gameplay in retail is completely different to classic, and that's actually what makes the real difference.>Needs more changesIf there were more changes you'd be crying about it being too much retail, but this time you'd actually have a point
>>747563109I had more fun playing private servers than doing anything in retail or classic. You also don't get banned for saying Fuck like in Blizzard's games.
it's not about enjoying WoW in your 40s, it's about trying to convince people online your entire life isn't a waste and that actually replaying the same subscription MMO for 20+ years and counting is a good thing actually

>>747563172>2 raidsvanilla content is a joke, cleared week 1Ony isnt at launch>9 dungeons>only 2 max levelso its 2 dungeons>3 new zonesirrelevant because Im in SM levelingSo theres 2 max level dungeons
>>747563172>What do you want? There's plenty of shit to doEverything you mentioned is expected to last until Spring 2027, which could mean May 31st at the latest. That's 208 days or 7 months. If it's March 1st then it's 117 days or 4 months. Either way, that is definitely not enough content.People will fucking blast through the dungeons immediately and the raids will be on farm really fast too, considering that they are introduction raids.
>Blizzard announces another turd>10-20 damage control threads a dayYawn, when is your supervisor gonna update your script, this is boring, we've been doing this for 10 years now
>>747563883Not me, I'm gonna roleplay. You minmaxing faggots are nothing but Retail tourists. You don't know how to play the game.

>>747564929those are MMO fightsin fact super complicated raid bosses are the defining feature of MMOs that set their fights apart from other genresmaybe slopnilla should take notes
>>747564813If the Forever raids are anything like Scarlet Enclave, I can tell you that I'm going to enjoy them more than the first 4 Ultimates that I did in XIV.But please stay in XIV, thanks.

Go back to R*ddit OP, you don't belong here
>>747565597I would never pretend like XIV healer is a real roleits actually impressive only retail WoW has real healers

>>747565717I tried playing Runescape and I've had more fun arranging pebbles on a beach. It's just such a janky game. I'm sure it's decent if you can get past that somehow.
Things that made Turtle good that this shit won't have1. Cross faction trading, grouping and chat>but muh rp, muh warcraft.Go pvp nigger, I hated how to pool for socialising and groups was cut in half in retail vanilla. If you were on a server with a skewed faction balance you were shit out of luck for trading and groups sometimes.2. RMT and bots were actually banned, GM's would respond within seconds to a few minutes. I saw one guy I reported get banned for multiboxing right in front of me and the GM gave me a few gold for reporting him. I have no doubt that some RMT still happened but compared to retail it was night and day.3. GM's actually responded and were humans, not AI slop.
>>747554094Why would anybody play retail shit over this though? Like this will kill retail.

>>747559472Why should the existence of retards being retarded prevent sane people from having the option?
there's no way they made 1000 new quests, unless it's all just AI generated shit
>>747564813>more effort goes into a single ultimate in XIV than all of Foreverslops raids, I promiselmao absolutely not.recycling all assets and cranking up the numbers hard is low effort.
>>747554094Dunno who this is for. Classicfags will hate it because it's not identical to what they played in 2005. Retailfags won't play it because if it's built on Classic then the mechanics will be too simple. All this does is splinter the playerbase even further>retail >classic (mop)>classic (era)>classic (hardcore)>classic (anniversary)>SOD>forever>no doubt there will be some other mode when forever flops the same way SOD did It's no wonder the game feels dead, there are 10 modes and every mode has 50 servers. If you play anything other than the newest retail expansion on the highest pop server in your region, you will go hours without even seeing another player. The classic server stats are actually pathetic, they are keeping servers online that have 0 raiding guilds and less than 50 weekly players.
>>747557583You never played vanilla
>>747563172>>2 raids, 2 dungeons and more world content in the summer (presumably 3-4 months after previous patch)>Nigger, what do you want? That's fast as fuck compared to literally any other MMO on the marketAnon, that's a slower release cadance than ff14 and that cadance is slower than pre-covid and was something they announced speeding back up at their fanfest.>That's not what makes retail, retail.That's one of the biggest things that make retail retail. You can't have pay to win bullshit while still pretending you're doing things in the spirit of classic.
>>747568504Savage raids are 9 months apart and they only have 4 bossesAlliance "raids" are just glorified dungeonsNobody gives a fuck about Ultimates
>>747568459>recycling assetsdid you miss the Forever trailer or something you fucking retard?>and cranking numbers upits all new mechanics retard, and they have to actually tune the numbers properly unlike easymode tank n spank slop. That means a lot of testing
>>747568769>chaotic, variant, criterion, explorationAs opposed to two dungeons and raids where only a couple of bosses have any bite to them?Even if you're raidlogging you get a faster cadence, but like your point with ultimates most people aren't raidlogging.
