Wotlk will bleed subs quicker than classic or tbc. It’s an absolute faceroll from start to finish. Dungeon finder will ruin any communities left outside of guilds and everyone will get burnt out super fast. Wotlk wasn’t even difficult when it came out originally and it won’t even provide a glimmer of a challenge the second time around.
Naxx 25 will be an absolute borefest and I’d be surprised if even half the people are still subbed by the time ulduar comes around (unless they rush it out of course).
They’re doing this because they want retail players to have some thing to do outside of their scheduled monotony in their collect-a-thon, the reality is Shadowlands has little to no content so they’re trying to push for WOTLK as soon as humanly possible which in my opinion is a mistake. There are many guilds that haven’t even had a glaive drop, I’m not saying it should be delayed forever but this is far too fast, ridiculously so.
WOTLK will be Naxxramas on repeat for several months, the same content many of us have already farmed to near death in Classic. Rushing us toward that is very out of touch with reality in my opinion, it reflects a lack of forethought and more over makes it feel like this is very clearly corporate decision made by someone forcing it out as fast as they can rather than it happening naturally.
If it’s not corporate then catering to people that constantly want everything rushed out the door because their guild split/speed runs everything is frankly why this game is a mess to begin with. Your average raider is only just finishing off their 4 piece right now let alone being geared to the teeth, the content shouldn’t be rushed on the basis of people that just want to mindlessly consume it. That’s short term gains for a long term loss.
What about a wild idea of launching all expacs fresh all together
Vanilla, TBC, WOTLK, Cata, MoP etc
This way those who wants vanilla will play vanilla, those who wants tbc would play tbc and so on, so noone is forced to go through period of WoW that doesnt like
Stuff like this and all the rushed content people boost their way through makes one wonder if people are forced to play or something. Souls have been sold, that much is clear.
I don’t hate TBC, but if SWP comes by June and WotLK by October/November, I personally feel like it’ll have been enough for me in terms of time spent playing it.
Oh I am enjoying the game. One mistake I did with Classic was to think that “TBC will be better!”. Turns out that wasn’t necessarily the case. But anyway, my enjoyment does go down when they rush out the patches like this. One look at Sunwell gear tells me almost all of my BT/MH gear will be replaced in there. That’s not a good feeling, especially when those raids have only been out for 2-3 months.
They need to have good xmas sales so there they go. Anyone who says this expansion is not rushed is out of their mind. It released 10 months ago and is on it’s final patch end of may / beginning of june and then will follow a 4-5 month tier into 2-4 weeks prepatch.
Why not just name it season of misery: the burning crusade
Well, that’s just the thing istn’t it? You don’t even know that they are speeding out p6 and/or the prepatch. Amazing how one guy cries and a whole bunch just follows blindly.
Sure, they might do that. But OP doesn’t know that, you don’t know that. No one knows but blizzard…
