Right, because the ‘world’ is the same as ‘dungeons’? No. Just no.
The world is still there. Being all persistent.
You literally already stated these ‘reasons’. And again; it’s nonsense.
Hyperbole, hyperbole, hyperbole. You know you CAN just state your reasons without resorting to ludicriously inflated numbers and highly exaggerated examples. Just stick to the truth; you like a different, old-fashioned kind of experience. That’s fine. But WoW no longer is that experience. Wait for Classic if you want a grindy experience, waiting for ages to find a group, travelling to and from dungeons. Those aren’t merits to a game. They are a detriment.
No, no it didn’t.
I remember the server crashing or the game turning into a slide show. That’s NOT fine.
You sound very salty. I hope you have fun in Classic.
I’ll be sticking with the REAL WoW. The one that evolved into something much, much better than what I played 14 years ago.
Too bad.
Fine. But you’re wrong. And a minority.
I haven’t asked for any features in the past. I just agree with Blizzard that those changes make WoW a better game. If you don’t; tough.
Horrible quest design, never enough creative besides ‘‘use this vehicle than bombard these X amount of things’’ ‘‘get on that aircraft and kill X and collect x. Watch yourself fly away because that was so much fun!’’ right? -.-
Anti-social BS (LFD, LFR). But mainly, an infuriating experience outside capital chats (oh look another nuisance, not actually someone you care about.)
I really wish one day. One day, they either revamp LFD and LFR completely or get rid of them for good!
Except he isn’t a minority, Ion and the Devs can keep saying oh it’s only a minority and Orwellianing this expansion as much as they like. It doesn’t make it so.
In all fairness, when I first started playing wow it was great, so addictive!!! But you’re right, there is no sense on friendship in current wow, everyone sits in main cities and just queues for LFG and wants portal.
Join a group these days and the first thing that’s said is:
123 or sum.
No please or thank you. It’s just the norm.
I’m on a long break at the moment, wanted to get back into it over the holidays hence my rogue thread but logged in for like 20 mins and got bored.
I’m burnt out so taking a break and will be back again always am.
Really hoping the next expansion goes back to its roots though…
Item sets.
Less RNG.
Worthwhile professions.
Lengendary to work towards.
Reduced amount of raid difficulty.
Grinding rewards.
Item sets.
Busy servers.
Since you brought this minority and majority thing up first, provide your proof that actually shows he is a minority before you ask for it from someone else.
Your memory might be failing you. Now i’m not gonna presume on the reasons you don’t have friends in the game anymore but do you expect me to believe you were making friends with all the randoms that joined your group?
Also NOW everyone sits in main cities? I probably spent less time in a main city than in any other expansion. This has been a complaint that persisted since Vanilla, back when you were sitting in Shattrath all day. What reasons do you remember for having to leave the city which you don’t have now?
Lastly the summon thing is rather annoying but again, this has happened since TBC when the summoning stone was added. I had groups break up after 10-15 min of everybody waiting for summon.
I like the game the way it is now.
I know that saying that isn’t constructive but I always feel that, in threads like these, it’s good to show that there are some people that are just enjoying the game the way it is.
I’m not going to argue the points raised, I’ve tried doing that before and it never seems to go anywhere or achieve anything.
It’s ridiculous how you are willing to take things to the absurd instead of actually proving your points. Guess that’s the level of discourse you are capable of.
To be fair the fact that Ion is cracking jokes in a sarcastic manner during the q&a saying “everyone is super happy right now” then smirking shows he is an even bigger troll than my avatar
Yeah i’m sure you suddenly realize that titanforging is actual gambling on your own, despite the fact we had TF in legion for 2 years and although there were dozens of topics about it not a single post mentioned gambling.
This is how I view the things which are proposed :
I’m against the removal of different difficulties of the raiding because I think how they are made for the different groups of the players :
LFR is the content made for the people which without it in the most cases would never get into the raiding content in the first place and wouldn’t have access to it so they would never be able to see and experience it, and than would miss on some of the bigger parts of the game content and on the important lore.
Normal is made for the new raiders which don’t have much of the experience with the raiding and aren’t willing and ready to engage into the more challenging content.
Heroic is made for more serious raiders but which aren’t hardcore about the game and which don’t have the time or will to commit to mythic raiding. So the people which play the game casually and want to have fun without stressing about it.
And finally mythic is made for the hardcore, think about Method raiders and other people which take a game for something more, they are super serious about it, they have to min max everything and play the game to compete with others.
With removing difficulties of the raids Blizzard would remove access to content for some parts of the player base which wouldn’t be wise move on one hand and on another it would need to dumb down some difficulties to fit into the new ones different types of the raiders.
I’m a pro flying player and have also been playing the game since vanilla and it never did ruined my gaming experience in any previous expansion in which I was able to get it from the start.
About sharding and cross-realm zones I think how it would be best for the Blizzard to remove those from the game and to merge instead servers into few bigger ones with the new technology.
I don’t mind titanforge/warforge in the game, its not ruining my experience, and RNG aspects of the game existed since vanilla, and this is not something which is preventing players to progress further into the content. Also as someone who has been playing for so long I understand why catchup mechanics and artificial soft nerfs to the content exist in the game, they exist to help the players and guilds which would otherwise be stuck in the progression at some point in the game to progress further.
Group finder should continue existing on the bigger realms but be limited to the specific realms because I don’t want to go back in time when I spammed trade chat for hours looking for the people to join into my dungeon groups.
Don’t know what is best for the phasing, but I see how it exist mostly to enable the option in game for the devs to make some parts of the story in a more immersive way than they would be able in the open world.
About teleports to the dungeons, well I say make teleports only to far places from the capitals in expansions, otherwise let the players travel to the shorter destinations. I still remember how in vanilla for the alliance players it was a chore to travel all the way to the Dire Maul or Maraudon on foot and just on the ground mounts and don’t want to experience anything like that in the future.
There are more comparisons to cancer than to gambling, so i don’t know what you base your claim on, most likely making it up since i doubt you checked the old forum.
Here’s an example of a long thread complaining about titanfoge
One person says something about gamblers in 26 pages. Compare that to current threads where it’s mention on EVERY page.
edit: weird that you can’t link to the old forum, but add /topic/17615651814?page=1
always am.
