Setting doesn’t have to do with anything about popularity, streamling does tho, delivering story in consistent narrative for example, but “how many books written” no one cares about it, bg3 is set in forgotten realms, one of the oldest dnd universe that has much more bloat than wow, no one cares, people understand basic fantasy stereotypes and beyond it just fluff and fun facts that your friend can tell you on discord being fan of dnd/wow/warhammer

Not much… From my view it seems everybody is ready for a refreshing new MMO experience…

But allot of people want to defend the old. Pretty much.

106

That sentiment is ironically your own doom though.
You need your fellow WoW players to stick around if you want WoW to continue being WoW in the future. It is dependent on its own success. And it’s not going to be successful if players leave.

107

Everybody wants something new but a lot of people don’t? :thinking: :kissing_heart:

Oh of course. However, I completely and utterly disagree that putting horrendous systems into the game is going to get more people to come (back) and play it.

I’d rather it peter out and die off than to have it ruined to the point of me hating what it became. If I’m being honest.

108

Worst are the ones where you drop everything when you die. I turn that off if I can. Or I die once, lose all my stuff and never log back in again.

Okey let me rephrase that :sweat_smile: Allot of people are ready for something new and refreshing…

But allot of people believe in the old and what makes wow currently good as well. And wants things too remain that way.

Gaming on a phone freaking sucks… how do people enjoy it? End up getting clawed hands after a session.

It made every realm have the option for all players to do warmode/pvp instead of being locked to pure PVP thus opening it up to a broader player base. Lets face it PVP realms had been unbalanced since late TBC.

112

Ah, yeah… I’m open to new things in WoW. But I’m not open to those new things being something I completely loathe.

So, I suppose I’m on both sides of that debate.

113

We are currently at a WoW2? Yes or no? Stage

In order too keep up with the future. And other future coming mmo’s

114

Ah. Well; I’d prefer a better WoW than a WoW2.
If both could exist alongside each other, that would be awesome, but that would be a weird business move on Blizzard’s part, I suppose. :sweat_smile:

You’re not against everything new. We have change all the time in WoW IMO. Otherwise the game would be just like Classic. Thankfully it’s not. The game has evolved over time.

Now we may not like everything they do but to me instances are a big staple for MMOs. They have raids, dungeons, battlegrounds, arena. Seems to be the basis of just about every MMO I’ve played. There is PVE instances and PVP. WoW varies the instanced content with extra stuff too, just off the top of my head we’ve had Scenarios (going back to Remix I do not miss those at all), Island Expeditions, Horrific Visions, Warfronts etc.

But I agree with you, the formula is the same. We have seasons, we have patches, raids come out, new content is added etc.

But that’s the 80/20 approach that Blizzard have always used. 80% old and 20% new. Every expansion has this. The Garrison, Warfronts, Artifact Weapons, Myhtic+ Dungeons, Heart of Azeroth, Torghast, Soulbinds, and so on. It’s all new systems, and those 20% new are supposed to try and convince the unhappy players to stick around and try out the new stuff whilst the happy player (you) remain satisfied because 80% is still the same.
And whether that 20% new is any good is always in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes we think it is, sometimes we don’t. But it’s never more than 20%, so it never rocks the boat enough to change the general design of what WoW is. It’s the same 80% in each and every expansion.

I’m not sure those percentages are entirely accurate, but it’s a pretty fair assessment.
So that brings me to the question: Are you in favour of a higher percentage of change, then?

I like (some) survival games but i dont think id like wow as a survival game.
