Blizz is missing a trick if they don’t add a golden saucer style casino in the new 11.1 zone or on a dedicated island after 11.1

All the tier sets seem to revolve around gambling hitting the jackpot. A trinket says “deal yourself in”

Having a golden saucer casino like from FFXIV would be great. Have a weekly lottery and stuff mini games, pet battles. Add in a card collector style game and get us to win mounts and cosmetics. It would keep us occupied for years to come by adding stuff.

We could have mount racing with the new D.R.I.V.E mounts too. Hopefully they have thought of this but it’s a perfect opportunity to add one in the new zone. Or even make a new city type area after it’s all over that we take a boat too and have a casino island.

I honestly hate the golden saucer and would hate the inclusion of it - though it does fit well with goblins whom I also can’t stand.

I don’t really see the appeal myself but I’m not a gambler by nature. I’m very risk averse :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

Gambling and casinos are for people that don’t understand how maths works.

They need to keep that crap away from the game.

For those who don’t know, the golden saucer is more like darkmoon fair than a casino but its open 24/7 and is as boring as DMF is.

not really. golden saucer becomes pretty stale and apart from fall guys content they havent added anything new to it for ages in ffxiv golden saucer

With how gaming and gambling regulations are out there, more in the EU, it’s just time until you have troubles with some kind of regulation, that will lead to either remove the feature, or put the game to PEGI +18.

No, they don´t, jackpot is simply the description for the Range DDsystem.

The other buzzwords are Luck of the Draw for tanks, Insurance for healers, and Winning Streak for melee DPS.

It arguably has nothing to do with gambling whatsoever other than the choice of words.

I should have explained it like this tbh. :sweat_smile: I like the golden saucer. It can only keep us busy for a short while. But it’s a nice change of pace and 100x better than the DMF

Its basically the same as DMF, sure it has the weekly fashion report and lottery for bonus tokens but DMF has the quest items you can hand in everytime its up for bonus tokens as well, then ignore it until its up again, just like you do with GS on a weekly basis. Fundamentally its the same, id argue it’s worse because FF14 doesn’t allow you to preview a lot of the rewards before wasting tokens.

I may also be bias because FF14 is top 3 worst MMOs I’ve ever played behind Aion and Rift.

It got boring in FF14 after a while. Besides it’s an American game, in some states gambling is illegal.

It’s my second fav mmo of all time. If it had better group content I would probably play it more. Even though it feels clunky to play.

The community is really nice. everyone is really helpful 99%’of them anyways xD

So, something that you would employ to shake goblin workers down from the little of what they keep as money from their work - Offering glitter and glamour in return, even for just a moment.

That would absolutely would fit into their theme.

I’d love a golden saucer thing, and a bard, in WoW.
Would be really nice.

I would love both too. I cannot understand why wow doesn’t have a bard yet. They would go down so well in midnight expansion too when we get our player housing. We could play music in the houses and stuff. The thought of playing a lute to heal and buff is right up my street too. XD

Gold Saucer, gosh dang it xP
Adding something as big as the Gold Saucer to WoW would take some serious amount of dev time.
Also, as others pointed out: It is basically Darkmoon Fair.
I like 'em both, but both get just as boring and repetative as Dungeons and Raids, minus the iLvl, aka character power, gain, hence even less motivation to keep visiting it.
Gold Saucer is really not being used that much outside of Mogry Tombstone event or Gold Saucer Festival.

Expanding Darkmoon Fair and its rewards would be the only reasonable thing to do instead of adding an entire new system.

Augmentation proves the case very well. WoW was never set up for a support class - it broke the game.

Yes. I was very disappointed by the roller coaster - it should have used the whole island!

They should add the mini games Golden Saucer has, the “gambling” that you basically can’t loose (which is how they get around gambling laws)
Stuff like that and the chocobo races etc.
Just… Fun little extra games.
DMF is sadly a bleak comparison, as the G.S and Bards were sincerely the only thing I liked with FF.

Just add a race car that looks like its made by goblins with a lot of bling to it and make it actually cost a lot of gold with ability to teleport to places and make it a 5 seats, with the last seat being in the trunk.
