I think Shadowlands might see a rework of assassination rogue. Because with Poisions being baseline for all rogues that means the only assassination specific form of damage would be rupture. Essentially making Assassination worthless and boring compared to combat and Sub
I started WoW just before Legion, and decided I was going to level through every zone and every expansion until I loremastered them. I know that is extremely niche but that was my absolute favorite time playing WoW, just going through at my own pace enjoying the entire world.
One cool thing for ALTS, especially the ALTS of newer players. They lvl to 60, but they go "Hey I want to lvl another character." This time they can experience a whole new story, say TBC. Then if they want to lvl to 60 again they have the same option, to experience a whole new story say MoP or WoTLK. That makes the leveling process fresh for each new character.
I feel like I lost my Ranged Survival hunter. It broke my heart when they removed it at the end of WoD. Years maining the same spec, and it was suddenly ripped out of the game. Biggest mistake they ever made. Why would you remove a spec people enjoyed playing? If they wanted a Ranger or a Melee hunter, they should have made a different class.
I love what they are saying though. Sounds very positive. I hope it's not just spin. Makes me want to level up another toon to experience some of the previous expansions again.
better get it together blizzard youve lost countless number of fans in the last few months alone and you have ruined the game so badly that the version from 15 years ago is more popular than the current one. Instead of being the shining beacon you once were to the gaming industry you became just another example of the corruption and greed. No king rules forever.
The tower sounds pretty cool.. just like islands did back during the bfa announcement. Hopefully they do a better job executing it otherwise this is just going to be another round of required weekly torture
The tower seems cool. I myself like Rogelike games too so it's gonne be intereseting, might just hop back to wow for a bit for this 😀 EDIT: Still, release end of the year right? A long way away.. :('
These covenants what exactly do they look like? Do our toons start to look like them? And why do some leaders look like dog-faced ugly?…You can do better blizz? I sure hope the new owners do not F-up this expansion to destroy their competition like they have eaten up other games they buy-up and destroy em??? Might just not buy until the content is proven good??
They still don't get it. The tower stuff is just yet another new mechanic they feel they have to add. "Anima is some magical soul stuff that pervades the Shadowlands" What does that even mean? It's nothing. There's (ironically) no soul behind it. It's just something they invented to have an excuse for 10% stamina or 10% mastery or whatever. It's absolutely soul-ess and lacks any kind of passion, and your customers can feel that Blizzard. Why do you insist on viewing us as mindless sheep?
Players see right through this stuff. You're just trying to come up with new mechanics to keep players occupied. Players don't need new mechanics and new battle modes, warzones, towers whatever. Especially not when the systems behind them are so utterly shallow. Players need two things: A solid story arc, and loot. It's really that simple. There's a reason your subscribers have gone down while "content" has gone up. It's utterly shallow and lacks any kind of passion, and your player base knows it.
Your "player retention" model might work on the small amount of mindless zombies you have left, but players who want a rich well thought out world with social interaction have abandoned you.
So I dont know if this question is answered on forums somewhere, but what does "existing players" mean? I have been playing WoW since vanilla, stopped playing in legion and havnt been active since then. I have a few characters in level 110 but havnt played them since legion- am I an existing player? Cheers!
I’m SUPER excited for 1 expac leveling. My favorite part of the game is the story so I’m excited to take an alt through each of them 1 at a time in order to try and get it all!
On Torghast in this video: "This is not a timed mode..this is not mythic+..be thorough, acquire as much power as you can before ascending to the next floor." I really hope they keep that model of exploration, the current changes are worrying.
This has Activision written all over it with the scaling, Activision has a bad habit of ruining games and beating a dead horse. I really hope that shadowlands isn't a shit show like bfa
The amount of people in the audience shots with their heads down and on their phones not even paying attention. I miss the old days, the first time they did a virtual ticket I got it and whenever they did audience shots all you saw where people’s excited faces staring up at the screen/speaker
25:40 Have I felt like I lost something…? looks at Thrall Idk a Warchief that I like? looks at Sylvanas And replaced them with a {Cough Psychopath cough) I mean… "Warchief" I would like to lose.
Thanks man
It still trips me out to not see Metzen heading this.
They got the legion thing wrong. Legion gave more class identity than wod or bfa
the xpac i will use for leveling is legion , i started with legion and i stay with legion when it comes to new toons
I hope they bring back Warrior stances and make Titans grip optional.

That lost weight thing.
DONT YOU PATRONIZE ME!
I'll pick a different x-pac for leveling different alts depending on which fits into the lore 😀
why do those idiots keep adding races? delete all races all the way to tbc or wotlk.

The only thing i hear is more reason to play the game solo.
They should look into what classic is doing to make players willing to work togheter so often. Its much more social. A mmo lets say

I really don't understand why they can't just make interesting class mechanics instead of this "additional customization" bullshit.
Buff spriest.
ALL THESE ARE GREAT BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS GIFT OF THE WILD???????????????????????????
All the disgusting night fae screaming made me want to vomit..yikes

Wait, relationships? We can have relationships with NPC's in Shadowlands???

i love how quiet the fuckin crowd was, they were feeling what i was feeling, disappointment
Warlock going to Dracula's castle don't care if the abilities are shit
they put holinka on classes? hope he doesn't fuck up that this expansion like he fucked up PVP in WoD
I'm calling the Necrolord is gonna have Kel'Thuzad somewhere there.
Climbing the tower sounds like palace of the dead from FFXIV
The tower sounds pretty cool.. just like islands did back during the bfa announcement. Hopefully they do a better job executing it otherwise this is just going to be another round of required weekly torture
"leveling takes too long" This is a joke, right?
Nothing about PVP again… At least remove alltogether.
The tower seems cool. I myself like Rogelike games too so it's gonne be intereseting, might just hop back to wow for a bit for this 😀 EDIT: Still, release end of the year right? A long way away.. :('
I knew it! RPGs would embrace binding of Isaac like mechanics in the future.
The one time I’m kind of sad that I have all classes at 120…

I want combat rogue back. No more outlaw
Still waiting for the day when they make elemental into tanks
dude the plot of shadowlands is literally "The Good Place"
take trash ass looms away

Paul does it for me.

15:00 This guy is HORDE BIASED. Truly he mains ALLIANCE. JAJAJAJA trash players, Alliance is joke for Ion (fanboy of the Horde)
Hunters getting some Love, thank you!

The problem isn't that there are too many levels. The problem is that leveling is too fast, which means you can't appreciate the actual content.

fire force op
Love the focus on weighty player choice, that's what made Vanilla so great.
I just wish they'd remove secondary stats. If they're trying to go back to form, they should really ditch those.
