Warcraft needs to up it's game, big time

they wanted to cash in on marvel’s success without any of the build up :smiley:

but the jailer behind everything reminds me more of bleach since Aizen planned everything including the birth of the mc everything ichigo did was all according to aizen’s master plan that he was carrying out most likely hundreds of years before the story even happen

They are trying to save their name :smiley:
and you want them to do this?

Im sorry, but you expect a tv show to fix the garbage game they created? They invest more money into advertising than actual game development. Thats the root of the problem here and you are trying to promote it! Blizzards behavior is so customer unfriendly, its unbelievable. In the past multiple years they drive ppl away so hard by their ignorance, cockiness and lack of effort and nobody new comes in, because the game is just super low effort made with multiple layers of brick walls waiting for newcomers or even alts and it only gets worse.
More game advertising, that you are suggesting, doesnt fix anything. There is always a huge hype from their fake advertisement and vague promises before expansion releases. Tons of ppl play it for few days, maybe weeks until they confirm its just another low effort recycled cash grab and quit.

Thing is, those in finance and in marketing, make decisions about where the money goes, and how to market the game. Theya re professionals and money is their game.

However to make a game and develop a franchise everyone would love takes passion. I wonder if anyone has that sort of passion left at blizzard for warcraft, or is it just a job to make moeny.

If just a job, you will do the minimum required, albeit do it well to thebest of your ability and no more.

If a passion, you would want to make it the best world, the best fantasy and the best game EVER. You will work more ohours, you wouuld come up wtih more adeas, you would go … “oh, we definitely need to make this a movie or get a tv show started and really show this cool stuff and lovely stories out”

You’d want to develop great game systems but also do more stories, better stories and branch out into the more profitable entertainment movie and tv show sector… ESPECILALLY when you have a following.

But without people passionate about this,… you will get the minimum and a rather soulless money making franchise that only puts out things to get money, and the bearest minimum they can get with… because it’s just another job.

the best entertainment , gaming and franchises out there, all happeend with peoel who had a great love for the world they were making. This si why Peter Jackson’s Lord of the RIngs was so good, they loved it so much they wanted to make his vision of his incredibly detailed world, didn’t even change it to refelct their own politics and ideals

The original makers of this game, they loved their warcraft univers, wanted to make it the best world, the best of the fantasies… the vision of the night elves is perfect example, they wanted “the best of the dark elves and the forests elves” and the original makers made them both the greatest magical and advanced civilization Azeroth had ever seen and the greatest practioners of both forest/nature and arcane magic within their group - this is head and shoulders of th vision other fantasies normally have for elves.

But once the passion went elsewhere, things dwindled,. Legion was the last time I really felt the designeres were passionate about warcraft. I felt a bit of it in BFA, but it seemed a little less than before.

Shadowlands seems to be more new blood injecting their own vision rather than continuing or making better what is established. Nothing wrong with building your own vision, just make sure it’s great, and don’t remove , rubbish or ignore the existing.

Not gonna happen.
This game will never be as good as it was a few years back.

Blizz going balls deep on diversity hires is a clear sign of what to expect.

They have to (but wont) blow our minds with 10.0 (next expansion) or by 11.0 i predict WoW goes free to play.

Since you clueless about how to run a business and how to please your M9NTHLY PAYING customers, i suggest you look at how Xerox was managed during the 80s/90s.

Just had to point out this again, waayyy to funny. DH player checks out.

Im sorry, but I hope, for your own sake, that you are paid for this lobbying. Too bad the community hatred against Blizzard has gone too far and its well deserved.
Whats mindblowing is that you talk about wow needing passionate workers and your solution is to add a tv show to earn more money? Like you really expect that the money earned from the tv show would go to the actual wow developers to feel better about their job and create a better game for us or what? Dude, this is murica ur talking about, these actually WORKING ppl would NOT see a single dollar extra from it. You cant be naive enough to believe a corporate scumbags leading Blizzard would give money to the ppl, who deserve it, lol.

That comment was made for a wider context, a tv show, just one of many things a passionate and ambitious man at the helm would aim for or certainly do/achieve and expand on it.

it’s different when you want all your projects to do well and want THAT one too smash it

I don’t think they have the imagination and skills anymore to make a great game, most of the talent has left, and the current team dont seem to have a scoody doo what to do.

Oh, I think there is still talent there for sure. Not so sure about the will or desire to direct accordingly in order it to be great or greater still.
