Everyone could play truly epic expansions like TBC or WOTLK for same same price, but now to try their latest dogshit expansion on time they want 40 bucks extra. |

Date: May 20th, 2024 2:36 PM Author: bateful gay wizard Holly Longdale was hired away from Daybreak Games to oversee the monetization of World of Warcraft about 5 years ago. When she was over Everquest 2, it devolved into a complete cash grab. Too many examples of gaming mechanics to list to prove this point, but it always started with the 'edition' of the expansion you purchased. If you didn't buy the most expensive edition, then you didn't get the baubles that made you strong enough to beat the endgame content. It was that simple.
If this is the first time that WoW has rolled out this kind of pricing model for power and access, I'm actually surprised, given how long she's been at Blizzard. |

Date: May 20th, 2024 3:03 PM Author: insane abnormal library pozpig It really is a microcosm of the decline. There's just no room in this world for a good old white man's legacy MMO. The only reason worlo warcar has 'survived' (people love to opine on how WoW is an 'unkillable' albatross carrying the genre on its back) is because 'WoW' has been hollowed out & skinsuited, much like the United States of America
In the non cursed timeline, Blizzard never went public, never had to chase jew earnings reports with forced yearly expansions/monetization raping the IP.
Instead, we have a glorified gacha dress up game for women, minorities and paypigs, with a small echelon of high end 'esport' performance players.
A fundamentally disparate, siloed & incoherent MMO experience, a dead game draped in the skin of a classic IP made with passion by a soulful WHITE dev team. Just a trojan horse in a dead genre & passionless industry, on an inexorable trend towards dumb-terminal microtransacted DRM / GaaS (Gaming as a service) / cloud-streamed globohomo.
Playing worlo means, you are basically playing in a tron 3d space of some jews portfolio (an apt moniker for the U.S) perfectly encapsulating the decline of America, which is now a featureless deracinated wasteland glorified free trade zone filled with mutts and no soul. A pachinko RMT gacha cash shop mogs mounts cheevos lobby for NPC golem, women, minorities, thirdies & low IQs filled with clickfarm bots & gliders (they count as 'Monthly Active users' or 'MAUs' in the shareholder reports) to boost the earnings report numbers just like fake employment stats
The age of passion project, made for desktop PC, high/medieval fantasy MMORPG, developed by sane, level headed cultured white men is never coming back.
Too many jews, too many low IQ consumers, lowest common denominator gacha addicted lefty gynocentric terms of service tranny homo muttification. This is the shortest version fwiw

Date: May 20th, 2024 3:16 PM Author: tripping location fortuitous meteor Making WoW Classic available has mitigated the damage somewhat. They even have a competent non-woke head developer on that (Josh Greenfield) after they axed the woke moron who was the old lead classic dev. But even the small wokeisms he left in WoW classic (most notably having "body type 1" and "body type 2" instead of male and female toons on the character screen) don't leave a large footprint in the game.
And Classic is available for the base game subscription- no expansion required. I haven't paid for an expansion since Warlords of Draenor- it's been all private servers and classic for me.
So the abomination in OP doesn't effect me directly, but it still shows where Blizzard is as a corporation now. |

Date: May 20th, 2024 3:19 PM Author: tripping location fortuitous meteor I mean, nothing compares to the old WoW the way it was on original release, but they are doing the best they can to breathe some new life into it with things like SoD.

Date: May 20th, 2024 3:19 PM Author: insane abnormal library pozpig Season of Discovery is a bad game that exists to 'ween' the most diehard vanilla WoW players into the 'modern' version with a small drip feed of features and abilities from the new version, and from what I've observed, it seems to be working
The game is currently in free fall as players quit in droves & other players also feel a sense that they are missing out on something (FOMO) wrt the retail version compared to the old version after experiencing the experimental mode |

Date: May 20th, 2024 3:20 PM Author: tripping location fortuitous meteor A lot of hardcore WoW Classic guys enjoyed SoD early on. Me included. Not surprising that it's run its course and is old hat now. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5530659&forum_id=2Reputation#47677239) |

Date: May 20th, 2024 3:22 PM Author: tripping location fortuitous meteor Also, I think hardcore would be the best game mode if they found some way around the disconnection death issue. Which they haven't sadly.
The most fun I've had in HC was when I was on Bloodsail Buccaneers playing the player-created hardcore mode using the addon and appeal process for dc deaths. That was 180. |
