Playing WoW with AI companions

This could be a good idea for older dungeons and raids - if you’re questing in a zone and it ends with a dungeon I can imagine that you’re queuing a long time for a specific one, which gets in the way of seeing the rest of the story (however small and unimportant it might be).

Not sure about it for current content. On one hand, a pure story mode for things like raids would be good for those who genuinely only want to raid for the story, not the experience or rewards. On the other hand, adding features which don’t promote socialising and grouping up sounds antithetical to an MMO.

Provided it was only for old content and for a low or no gear mode of current content, I think this could be a good addition for a certain type of player. Whether there are enough of those types of players to justify it, I have no idea.

And your forte is just being clueless.

The game should be encouraging group play and morphing back in that direction.

As usual from you its just vague assertions about ‘its losing subs because of the reasons i think are valid’ with a bit of handwaving. Cater to a small niche? Citation needed but as usual it’s just conjecture.

My contention is the game needs to move away from people treating people as npcs and for sure the last thing it needs is actual npcs taking the place of people.

Maybe you should take this opportunity to advocate solo queue again to remove those pesky interactions either people.

No; he may be physically handicapped so personally attacking him as “useless” is just you being narcissistic to stroke your ego.

The real problem with his suggestion is that it’s not worth the sub; just quit the game; the lore is at best a lotr ripoff anyway.

Any why would anyone pay a sub for a single player game; the main reason the sub exists is that online requires it.

65

Cool. Why? Substantiate this. Come on. Can you? Should be easy seeing how you are using words like “clueless”. I substantiated my position. So, why?

66

Sure, you have no evidence and neither do I. That’s why its opinions.

67

Got it, you have nothing. You just blabbered. I have the evidence of people preferring solo to no groups. It’s in which designs of gameplay turn out big numbers - solo plus automatic groups, all of them. You don’t have the evidence of people preferring groups. Because it does not exist. People don’t prefer groups. Such is life.

Fun talking to you. You are all vitriol, no substance.

Right back at you. All blabber and no substance as well. Just what you accuse me of.

69

The difference is, I substantiated what I said and you did not. Google up the meaning of that word: substantiated.

Sincerely… im one of the ppl that dislike go with groups but just when i dont know them. BUT it would be a nonsense having a content where one can run dungeon with AI companions. In the end Wow is still a MMORPG.
When i tried to run this kind of dungeon in FFXIV i just find that… boring. Like playin BG2. That is a wonderful game… but not a MMORPG.
Introducing this kind of content would just bring a divison between ppl: elitist playin just with their equals (like ancient regime nobles) and ppl running dungeon or group content alone.
And the game would lose other ppl…
Its true wow is near to the end (1 or 2 exp imho) but should maintain his soul (or part - having lost the majority of it lately).

The hell you did. Saying it isn’t substantiation of anything. It’s an opinion. Just like I offered.

Dictionary.com if you want to learn the meaning of words…

I just don’t really understand, you want to raid with 9 bots? That’s basicly what raidfinder is tbh. Doing higher difficulty with bots would just create a toxic meta were people would rather clear the raid with bots for all reasons. Or what endgame are you talking about? m+ with bots or normal dungeons? I wouldn’t consider normal dungeons as endgame since you can do them at lower lvls.
Edit: I can agree that we need more hard solo endgame content but putting bots in +20 dungeons or heroic-mythic raids will ruin the game and stretch out a small playerbase even thinner.

Mate, you are just a waste of time. You say X, I say Y, say why it is Y and ask you why you think X. You refuse to say why X, pretend I refused to say why Y and go “it’s all opinions” and all other forms of “no u”. You are just not interesting, sorry. A poisonous nut quacking something offensive on the forums unable to utter much other than insults.

74

For your information; i prefer groups.

75

No problem with that, it’s just that your preferences in this area are not shared by the majority. We all have such things. I used to drink 6 cups of coffee a day, this was unusual as well.

More importantly, what the OP says does not remove group play.

76

You do not have evidence for that. I know tons of players not logging in when they can not play with others on an evening. It is far from unusual.

I do and I said what it is - look at the designs of gameplay in games that get to be popular and look what they are. They are all solo + automatic groups. You can even look at WoW itself. It’s a well-established lesson of the last decade in the game industry, that people prefer solo + automatic groups to manual groups.

78

i could have agreed in the past. but i think lately ppl preferring group content is not so much. But ofc we havent any evidence.

79

Maybe you should lose your :poop: with the other guy that dared to disagree with you too. I mean, how dare he?

I’d hate for you not to be an equal opportunity finger pointer.

Again, you saying it is so isn’t evidence, just arrogance.

(You mean Psjohly? He is ten times more constructive than you are, he both talks and listens. But stop trying to attract attention, all further content-free posts from you are going straight to reports.)
