They won’t. Both Sony and Microsoft have somewhat heavy TRCs preventing scripts on their consoles.
Well yes, one player is more. These days I can’t see WoW attracting a significant amount of people. WoW has a lot of baggage as a 16 year old game that new players would not want to deal with.
If Blizzard allowed platform migration then I’d bet quite a lot of people would migrate to console from PC. Probably the toaster brigade.
That’s what I meant by less experienced players. If you can’t move well/swap action bars with a controller people can tell.
PS is blocking addons on FF14.
No, they won’t. Most consoles have better hardware than I do on PC. Especially since I’m on Linux, so I pay some emulation and bad nvidia driver tax on top.
It works well, you can be sure of that. It’s just another input device. As long as one can aim well, press enough buttons, it will work. And both are very much doable with a controller.
Let me know when you timed 20s with one hand.
I dare you to tell me whether I play with a controller or a keyboard+mouse here:
Ah shoot. Then bringing WoW to console is practically useless.
pvp kekw
Technically there are no addons on FFXIV even on PC unless they implemented support recently.
What i meant to say is Sony’s stance on third party ‘code’ is preventing all platforms from getting addons and is leading to the dont ask, dont tell policy with damage meters.
No one said " One Player ", and if you look that bad at the game then why do you even play the game?, To addictive?
Yes WoW is still using programs from 16 Years ago, that i can agree on!.
But do you think new players that chooses to try the game in Trial knows this?
Maybe, Maybe not, in the end it does not matter what you or i think, it’s about what the one who tries WoW on consol for the first time thinks no?.
A friend of mine which plays alot of FFXIV High End-Game that does raid on
Savage, which is the same as Mythic in WoW According to him.
One of his Guild mates raids Savage with a Controller, and it’s just fine.
Both games have Global Cooldowns.
Could be, although from what I’ve seen on interviews with Yoshi-P, it seems this was a deliberate decision, otherwise they could have implemented one themselves.
No, don’t bring it.
And there is someone out there who finished Dark souls with a banana. Doesn’t mean the game is designed to be played with a banana.
Addon’s or as its called in FFXIV - Mods
Is not allowed in the game, but FFXIV are alot more strict in their ToS than WoW is, and in a good way.
I agree, don’t bring new Fresh Blood over to WoW.
Let’s keep the toxic community we have today

WoW won’t get put onto Xbox or PS5. Not with current game engine and no matter what improvements have been made, the game is still pretty CPU heavy which isn’t the way games are made anymore.
A lot of game engines are starting to take more into account multiple cores, threads and also the GPU than just keeping to one fast core. Those days are over, hence Intel’s issues right now.
The Gaming industry is moving on to support these new hardware techniques better and as long as WoW continues to try and keep up, the game engine it uses will always be a drag on the game. So the gap will always get wider as we go along.
But until Activision:Blizzard stop firing staff while making profits and put some of those staff onto working in rebuilding things with a new game engine that’s more efficient with today’s hardware.
WoW won’t make it to consoles.
Warcraft IV maybe if they chose to do that.
WoW 2 using Warcraft IV engine could do it but we would be on PS6 generation by then.
The only way to stop WoW from dying out is to bring it to consoles. A lot of console players want to play MMORPGs but don’t have much to choose from. No, I didn’t ask for excuses “the engine doesn’t support it huehue look at my 1 IQ”, just get it done Blizzard.
A toaster can run WoW, so i don’t know where you got that information about xD
I’m pretty sure PS5 could run WoW 100%.
Blizzard uses the same stuff as they did 16 Years ago so.
You don’t know that.
I don’t know that.
Dying and Dying… Peoples have said WoW’s been dying since Burning Crusade, and im sure that WoW isn’t dead ?
But i do agree with your point, it would attract alot more players, as a Console is cheaper than a Actual “Good” Gaming PC.
I’ve been on an eight month break. Yeah, must be addicted, that’s it.
What I’m saying is that to be worth the effort to launch on console they’d need a set amount of players and I can’t see it attracting many NEW, CONTINUING players. Tens (hundreds?) of millions tried WoW over the years and never even got out of the starter zones. If anything, expectations these days are a lot higher.
I was alluding to content baggage. Blizzard’s way of fixing this is to ignore anything post BFA.
You give the average player too much credit. Compared to when I started playing in 2008 I can jump in any MMO old or new now and know what to do 95% of he time.
FF14 GCD is 2.5 second and WoW’s is 1.5 seconds. It’s very noticeable. FF14 mostly incorporates dodge mechanics using distinct telegraphing. WoW wasn’t built from scratch for controllers, there will be smalls scenarios that make using a controller much harder, but not impossible. WoW is a casual MMO, most players are casual, even more casual than people think. If people have to concentrate hard just to play with a controller decently they will just leave.
There were no plans for addons but eventually they did look into it after demand and Sony have effectively blocked any addons for the PS4 so it’s not going to come to PC either as they want a uniform experience no matter the platform.
Now we have the case where people use third party parsers and SE have basically said dont say anything or shame people for their dps and we’ll do nothing.
Well you did decide to return to the game(?)
And you seem to underestimate Console players as you think wow wont get that many players from there, but i am sorry to say thats not just on Console its the exact same on the PC, the Community is absolutely 
I’d be suprised if those who tries wow today actually keeps on playing it for the time to come.
Compared to when i started 2007, I guess during those 6 months of a " Break " you had, you haven’t caught up with Shadowlands, there is a completely new Starting experience for new peoples that teaches them about the game.
That is correct Global CD comparison, but that doesn’t mean that WoW would be Unplayable with a controller, sure you would need alittle faster reaction, thats all there is.
Casual and Casual.
I know you stated in this reply to me that it’s not impossible, which I and the OP proved, i don’t even know why why discuss this, when you could see in the videos that it’s completely playable with a controller when it comes to Casual or even hardcore content.
Actually it’s not entirely correct. At endgame the GCD is slightly lowered, but the main difference is that with weaving OGCDs the flow is more or less the same.
Eight months, do pay attention.
I have tried the new starter experience on the PTR and it does not show you how to play the game just basic spells.
