Shadowlands - budget being too low

Hello after watching many videos and streams from shadowlands i have bad feeling about budget they got for it. Even BFA looks very cheap with all these server issues, pvp being ignored whole expansion, bugs, exploits. Story etc etc

And SL? Zones being mediocre at best, maw being abolutely horrible, main feature of expansion is copied from final fantasy( tower) they actually copied this random buffs too. :clown_face:
no housing??? Imo making instanced housing isnt anything complicated still we dont have this feature while many other mmos have it. Whole SL is instanced no world we live in but 5 instanced locations. Its because traveling looks cool for first few days? Or budget reasons? No new class, spec, gameplay?SL have no epic feature 0 …yeah visions 2.0 will be fun for week.

From signature game of blizzard wow being threated like some indie game. Thanks activision.

Then you saw this ION interviews full of : bla bla bla we care bla bla bla amazing bla bla bla thank you :nauseated_face:

I forget one epic feature SL will have : End of BFA disaster :cupid: but is it enough?

Atleast wod had new pvp features and working pvp gearing but yeah pve sucked…

I hope with 2 new AAA western mmos being close to release activision wake up and put some $$$$ and developers back to wow.

Can you tell us the process you used to arrive at your imaginary $2mill number?

Because it smells like :poop:

Budget is mainly salaries. And contrary to some project manager beliefs, 9 women can’t bear a child in 1 month.

From my head. Maybe you will tell us the right number?

I don’t know it. But unlike you I don’t pretend to.

Low amount of developers = low salaries = low budget

That’s what the remaining part of my post was about. Throwing more people in at some point becomes counter productive.

Sorry. Bye

We’ve been down this road before.

But housing would make no sense in Shadowlands? We are going into whole other realm of spirits and dead people, housing would be out of the place.

I also like how you already judge everything and make assumptions before the expansion is even released or before you played it just for sake of complaining…

hey can you chill with clown emojis? they are copyrighted

how it sucked?
Raids were excellent (albeit Highmaul was too short lived, pushed back by BRF mere 2 months after it released)

Dungeons were fun to play, except Everbloom, I hated that skip at the start (which would almost never work for me). Challenge modes were fun except this 1 instance.

And no world content? I don’t give a damn about any stupid world content. Grinding stupidly easy and repetitive wq’s isn’t content. Never was.

imo mines lacked flavor but I really enjoyed WoD dungeons. Much more than bfa dungeons. The only dungeons I truly enjoy are freehold, underrot and kings rest.

No it didn’t?
WoD pve was great, classes were still fun to play, BRF was the best raid ever made and Operator Thogar the best boss of all time.
The only problem WoD had was the lack of content outside raiding and pvp.

My man spitting facts! :fist_right:

although I may be a little biased cause I played the most broken iteration of arcane mage with prismatic crystal and prophecy of fear

You are right it doesnt make any sense but its doable. As a mawwalker what about room/flat in your covenant hub? There arent houses in SL?

Yeah its not released yet but its beta. Trust me i will be so glad if im wrong but it just looks cheap thats it. Thats my opinio.

Unless it was the containment unit from Ghostbusters.
