since activison took over all the greed and bad business practises took over and with it the quality of the game and ergo the subscriptions.
FFXIV might go in a similar direction they have a major influx of wow players and maybe the greed will take over and maybe destroy good features or ideas
Stop doing content for 1% of player base is maybe a good idea. Mythic raiding is a big time sink. Put the energy in better content instead in Boss balancing.
wow token is obviously for boost and they indirectly support boost in their game.. that's why removin is a good ideea what is a better ideea is change Terms of use or ua to give them free hand to ban any boost activity in their game, same as FFXIV are doing right now!
Content doesn't need to give you character power: it means something like mage tower. A fun challenge with only a cosmetic reward. Optional content that feels meaningful but you aren't required to do it
I think "enable all specs" means that make it easier to multispec on a character. Currently because of covenants, soulbinds, legendaries it is difficult to properly multispec. 9.1.5 will make it easier but currently it is awful if you want to play multiple specs on your character. For example for our raid I was the joker player with my monk because I could dps, tank and heal whatever was needed. But as it is now, I would use venthyr for mistweaver, kyrian for tank and necro for windwalker. Similar on my shaman. Kyrian is fun for resto, necro is good for raid, night fae is good for m+ elemental and mobility.
And that is the problem. That list is terrible like from someone who has played the game for a week, really a bad list. The players don't really know what they want and they all have completely different views.
But i am playing GW2 which is amazing you play for fun not gear until wow releases some fun content. Might be waiting some time.
I honestly do not think Activision will change much cash shop wise in the future, if anything they may add more. Even if the wow community went down to around a million or so, the wow token shop stuff etc etc would still pull in more money for the investors round table expectations than if they went back to a structure more dedicated to the core player base. The amount of folk playing wow that play to collect stuff , mess around on a social level etc is Insanely massive and it kinda feels even if most of the more raid, core orientated players stopped playing, Activision is still going to make a crap ton of money for years and years to come from just the casual side alone that are happy to potter around in the game collecting stuff exploring spending money in the shop etc etc.
alot of the points are valid i agree
Some good points here
This just shows how removed from reality echo is. Split runs? 5-10 guilds per global region do those? Nobody forces those guilds to do those and the race to world first is an inconsequential event with only 2 real participants that's practically just been made up by those two guilds. How about buying specific mplus loot for valour instead of sinking dozens of hours into running the same 2 dungeons for a trinket/wep (mainly plaguefall and dos are the two worst ones)
this is just pathetic, no one is planning on fixing wow
reduce benched is huge! If you play FF you will know what this is about. There is NO 5 people benched in raids. There is no raid lockout. watch limit max new video you will understand. You also need to know there are no addons in FF so gear checks and telling where to go in boss fights IE WeakAuras are not in FF. If you use damage meters and logs in FF and use them to lets say set a standard to raid , You get banned from the game!
I think reducing bench and fomo is probably tuned for being able to join different groups for mythic but only being eligible for loot once like heroic. It’d be nice if you were in for the eye and Soulrender but not the Tara and the nine that you could join a different group to kill them within the same lockout
It is very simple: no matter how wow is bad game, until people pay, blizzard will do nothing. Because the investments of recreating wow is higher than potential benefits of changing wow. That’s why blizzard will just continue to outsource all their work and won’t make something new. Because why you should fix something that work? Yes it works bad, but still get you revenue
I don’t think that the thoughts of the player, who WORKS in wow, should be considered. My casual guild only now has 7/10 mythic. Our raid time is 6 hours. (3 in the evening on weekends). So people like scripe they don’t play. They speedrun and work here. Casual players don’t care about PTR, BoE, global release, sockets, split raids and other stuff.
Only ideas about multispec and reducing obstacles for alts are worth considering.
I cancelled my subscription, because blizzard think that changing pictures and change names of NPC is more important than bringing content.
Wowtoken needs to go. It's just a route for RMT.
The only reason people would log into to do nothing but raid is if there is nothing else in the game. WOTLK, if you wanted you could only log into the game to raid on your main, but there was tons else to do and not to mention super alt friendly, everyone played alts back then, now an alt is a chore. Just look this conduit system. Back in the day it was called a talent tree and you got it for free, didnt need to sink hours of POINTLESS gameplay to power up your character. Character power should be gear and gear alone, then you can focus on logging in for what is actually fun.
Removing boss mechanics from journal has the flaw of not knowing if the mechanic is bugged or not. Given Blizz's history, we all know about the bugs.
I think these people like him made the game less enjoyable. Talking about race to world first and MDI. Maining a Mw monk and had the worst experience in game for a year. People are watching their content ,raids and they believe that weeks months after the way how they cleared the raid everyone should copy them.They are making tier lists and meta classes… I pay for this game as well and wanna play a spec what I enjoy and don't wanna be a meta slave. Split runs lol a joke 98% of the player base never did that.Honestly conduit energy didn't make the game less enjoyable for me as well. Many of us normal players loved bonus rolls titan forging etc. Many players doesn't do myhtic raiding was good to have mythic level gear. Aren't they selling boost cutting edge for players to get gold to buy BOEs for the next race to world first? I totally agree with you as always. Thanks for speaking up for MW monks always.
I have to say this , Madskills is one of the underrated Youtubers for sure .
I think bringing back sockets like in burning crusade to make JC a good profession again would be great
its because of borrowed power u cant visit old content man they cba scaling them
When the FOUNDER BAILS… it's over. Morhaime is gone. 90 percent of the original GOOD developers were gone shortly after wrath or before. Now you have a money grubbing piece of trash running the company and a bunch of half wits trying to fill the shoes of the guys who made the company by grandstanding and bullshitting every time they are handed a microphone. Ion hazznoclue is nothing more than a 2 bit con man. Why would you hire a "lawyer" to run a gaming company?? Even the addicts are now having to admit it's over. By the way… there are about 100 other new games that don't eat up and take over all of your free time…. and no… "new world" isn't it. The hype buy promotion clown show is over. People are looking at reviews BEFORE they are buying now.
Doesn’t matter the changes Blizzard makes. People are going to complain even when they make great changes to the game. Content creators are always complaining as well (Asmongold is one of these). Just stop and play the damn game. You’ll end up complaining anyways.
I think by enable all specs and dont punish players for wanting to play all specs he meant basically enable covenant swapping and remove conduit energy which they're doing. I play ele sham for dungeons, i like enhance in pvp and raid, and basically im always at like 0-2 conduit energy, its just so stuuupid, so a lot of the time i just cant play what spec i want to, or i can be a potato and play my specs sub optimally. I think
tbh i don't agree with some of these
This list will definitely have mixed reactions, I personally strongly agree with some points and disagree with others but I think it makes for a very interesting discussion. Which one point would be most impactful to your enjoyment of the game? 🤔
