So we getting deep in Goblin history huh? I’m not a fan of either Goblins or Gnomes. For some reason i cannot find any respect or interest in these races.
Kinda feels like filler patch if may i be honest. There is NOTHING connected between Goblins and Void, Xal’atath or Old Gods, nothing…
So i’m right now struggling to find any excitement for this upcoming patch. Hopefully Blizzard will exceed my expectations.
They already did with TWW.
Well you dont speak for the majority of the player base who love the fact we are finally getting undermine ! and possibly player housing blizzard is cooking right now
Hearthstone seemed to get the coolest announcements. The StarCraft mini set sounds pretty awesome. Interesting updates to Arena and a to-be-expected year of the raptor rollout. Solid if you like Hearthstone.
Warcraft Rumble is dead man walking. Putting it on PC like Diablo Immortal isn’t going to matter. When it was shown I immediately thought it would be put into World of Warcraft as a mini game you could play whilst waiting for a queue to pop. But no. Would have been cool though.
The monetization in the game is way too aggressive and the content rollout too slow for a mobile game. That’s why it fails.
Warcraft RTS announcements were decent. Remastering the old games seems fine, but honestly, if anyone wanted to play them, haven’t they already picked them up from GoG ages ago? Who’s this for? The RTS crowd? I dare say Blizzard have shunned them so hard that there’s little goodwill left. And I can’t imagine that the WoW playerbase is going to flock to play Warcraft: Orcs & Humans because they’re just so much into the story.
Curious that there wasn’t some in-game items attached to the purchases. A surprisingly ungreedy move by Blizzard, but not an unwelcome one.
Classic WoW gets more Classic releases, that seems to be the modus operandi these days. Just constantly release more versions of Classic to spike the playerbase by having fresh starts. There’s an audience for it, so cool.
Visiting the Scarlet Crusade and Deadwind Pass as the penultimate raiding in Season of Discovery must be the highlight of the announcements.
And then Retail WoW…
I feel like Blizzard are waving the Housing announcement in one hand to distract from the somewhat lackluster offering they otherwise had.
I mean, it’s more of the same, right? But then also not really, because looking at the roadmap, then Season 3 won’t include a new zone. So it’s as I expected and feared, that the expansions get shorter and have less content in them, and then we quickly move onto Midnight and €50 which everyone is excited for because of housing. Yeah…
I mean, compared to Dragonflight, then The War Within is the same but without the Fated Season and without the Emerald Dream zone. That is substantially less and seems like a worse deal for €50 than what we’ve been used to.
All in all this was not very jaw-dropping. It feels like Blizzard have settled all their games into the Live Services that they are, and are now just churning out regular updates one after the other. And those updates were those they previewed a bit. Cool.
there is a limit to when clasic releases will work though
sod died the moment they released patch above level 20 because people cba to level there eve with the exp boosts.
seems like they have mostly failures in making - especial whats the point ot release mop classic so soon after mop remix - those who wanted to play it played it there cant see it work .
maybe its meant this way so they dont drag this to wod / legion classic.
Yeah of course. But it doesn’t really require any development on Blizzard’s side, so as long as some people want to show up for a fresh start, then Blizzard will of course meet that demand.
I think Blizzard very much just goes through the releases in the order of the expansions, regardless of whether they were popular at the time or not. So yeah, WoD after MoP.
Can someone explain me the logic, please?
What we have now is: Retail, SoD, Classic Era, Classic Cata
What we will have: Retail, SoD, Classic Era, Classic Panda
What will be next: Retail, SoD, Classic Era, Classic TBC, Classic Panda
What will be next: Retail, SoD, Classic Era, Classic Wotlk, Classic WoD
What will be next: Retail, SoD, Classic Era, Classic Cata, probably another restart
So if you’re gonna restart all your versions every few years anyway, why just not leave ONE retail, ONE classic, ONE tbc, ONE wotlk?
Do you find it funny or impressive? Because for now it’s totally crazy and pathetic.
I think people like it when it starts fresh, it makes sense, when everybody is max level full stuff, not many people are doing the lower level/earlier raid stuff. It actually makes sense. Although they COULD leave and ‘era style’ server for each expansion, to store all the characters from any of the classic iterations.
