SO YOU HAD A BAD DAY

YOU WORK AT A SMILE, AND YOU GO FOR A RIDE

I'd rather eat paint chips.

how can you not do what you like?

Hey Anons, let me talk about the sponsor for today’s thread.
WoW: Shadow Legends.

They are retarded and focused on NEW THING, this is their problem, they don't have a vision, every time they need a new patch / expansion they just fucking throw in some bullshit idea and go like well, we put NEW THING in game a see how players react to it, if NEW THING BAD, we will remove it, if not, we keep it, saddest part is that they had tons of new things that were good in certain patches, so good infact that you would think it will stick with the game forever but they just remove it and replace with another one of their genius fucking experiment

I'm gonna sound like a complete retard to many but i like them doing new things each expac. Doing dungeons and getting loot is okay and good. . for 2005.

Wait, does that mean I'll be able to login to my old account that I've previously paid for? It doesn't have any of the expansions, and doesn't have any character above lvl 40

>Make WoW
>Add Warrior class
>Give them a spell called Battle Shout
>A few years later decide you don't want to have warriors feel like a requirement
>Remove Battle Shout
>Then decide you want warriors to feel unique
>Add Battle Shout
>Then Remove Battle Shout
>Then add War Cry(?)
>Then remove it
>Add some flags you throw around on the floor
>Remove them
What the fuck are they thinking?

probably have to start a new account, they're not REALLY making it f2p they're just expanding the free trial to make it even more generous

I get your point but my point was that they lack vision, they don't put much thought into their new systems and how it affects the overall experience they just throw it in the game and see how people react to it, the biggest problem
however is that the devs are somehow too fucking stupid to discern which mechanics/ideas to keep as they seem to always stacking up on bad systems instead of keeping the things that were actually good

>Oh no you see we don't want to you teleport out of the raid everytime you get to drop because you are so fucking forced to reforge it, you should be glad that the drop you got has all the wrong stats so you can't actually use it and can't even trade it because you have lower item level piece, but hey, atleast you can run this instance 20 more times before you get what you want goy

i think the worst part of it all is that they arbitrarily decide that people like something based on how many people do the thing, even if they're only doing it because it's a required grind. Take islands for example, they consider islands a huge success because nearly everyone did the content, never thinking about the fact that people weren't doing them because they wanted to, they were doing them because they had to grind AP.

Maybe everything is just too hard to balance. I don't think they're all this incompetent. They've also been playing the game for 10 years. I first heard of Hazzikostas back in TBC when he made a video about bear runs in zul'aman.
There's something we're missing here, and it's unrelated to the game. It's probably related to how the company is run.

the major problem is that blizzard is required to have the next x amount of expansions planned in advance. this was a policy done by metzen and the original wow team
so the main executives prepare all these expansions ahead of time, but then the autists in charge of whatever the current expansion is have free reign to pander to the player base and their own personal interests
this was obvious when ion had countless interviews describing the future of the horde that was constantly contradicted by the self-insert writing his femdom fanfic of sylvanas all throughout BFA
the same goes for all these constant system reworks. they'll create a new system intended to improve over several expansions, players will complain, the retail developers will gut the system and cause executives to create a new one

>There's something we're missing here, and it's unrelated to the game. It's probably related to how the company is run.
their 10 years of experience is the problem
ghostcrawler played the game and did not let his playing experience influence game design
ion is the complete opposite

>MoP final patch
>OH NO EVERY CLASS CAN DO ANYTHING THUS MAKING THE GAME ACTUALLY BALANCED AND PLAYERS CAN CHOSE WHICHEVER CLASS THEY WANT TO PLAY INSTEAD OF BEING TO FORCED TO PLAY FOTM WHATEVER SHALL WE DO
>proceed to remove half of the toolkit in the next expansion because they want the classes to have some "identity" and "unique skillset"
>from this point onward they have to remake/make drastic changes to classes every patch in an effort to balance them out but that's impossible

On top of this some classes became boring as shit and BFA GCD changes totally assfucked the overall feel of the gameplay

>ghostcrawler
That's a name i haven't heard in a while. Back then, everything that was "wrong" with the game was always dropped on his head. Probably because he chose to discuss game design openly or at least talk to the playerbase.
>ion is the complete opposite
What makes you say that?

This is Pelagos, the first (of many!) trans/enby NPCs in the upcoming World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.

Say "trans rights!" now.

Trans rights!

Trans rights!

>systems

This is the biggest fucking problem, the game needs no systems, just getting gear from the content you like doing is enough
I also fucking hate Ion's statement that
>we want the players to decide their own playstyle and how they want to play the game
This is complete bullshit because if they did they would remove the arbitrary "systems" you have to go through in order to play
Also tying thousands of abillites to covenants is pure horseshit, why won't they just integrate all these new abilities to the talent trees so you can change them on the spot so you can really decide how you want to play? Covenants should've been cosmetic only and the fact that they don't see the mistakes they are making with them is further proof that they are just plain stupid

Spent money on the epic edition because I had a strong WoW itch
Realize too late that I still don't like the game
>Can't refund cuz LOL U USED GAME TIME SOOOORRRRYYYY
I hate life.

I'll wait for TBC classic servers. I miss being a support/dps shadow priest or ele sham. I also miss the ridiculous nested fucking attunement needed to unlock all the content. Of course they'll base it off the last patch where they eliminated most of that because they're fucking dense fuckwits with no fucking spine.

Just play the original game if you want to play WoW. Everything that came after WotLK was changed so much that it wasn't the same game anymore.

>talent trees gone
>abilities pruned
>stats forever changed
>globals changed
etc
