If they’re not doing wow 2,then they need to redo the combat and make controllers desirable even on pc. More action oriented gameplay.
Just port Classic WOW to consoles
In general, I think console wow could work. I genuinely don't think high m+ keys, rated pvp, and mythic raiding can be done on a console. I disagree with the notion it's about addons. You can do addons on console easily. It's about the speed (gcd, off gcd, instant casts, etc.), number of class abilities, and mechanics of fights.
I'd love to be able to just do dailies/weeklies, level alts, do normal/heroic dungeons, and easy tasks like that from the couch though.
I have to believe the "and" you spoke of was a typo of sorts and should have read "or" instead. As each type of said controller gives the user the ability to program each button with keys on a PC keyboard and so much more!
1:37 Funny, because since (I believe cataclysm) there has been an addon to use controller… Called I think console port.
Blizz could have done this way way way before now. They have always leaned on add-ons and community to make QoL upgrades to the game
3:27 doubt Blizz will learn from the past (ZeS with ESO). Making a game on consoles and then learning that the game cannot be updated because of hardware limitation of the consoles.
Blizz never learns from the past/competitors
IT WILL DESTROY WOW
Cant wait for WoW X to release😅
Chrono Odyssey is being developed for console as well
I'm no fan of WoW, but I think it is wonderful to get controller support and be on console. Game on for the ones who love and like WoW.
There has been unofficial and official controller support for years. I myself have used it a few times and I have seen people do all of the casual and hardcore content in the game. It took some time to setup but when I saw this and after playing ff14 and neverwinter etc I knew wow wouldn't be far behind in some way.
The addon, ui and social functions tho.. This is going to be interesting. I'd love to see this in so many ways.. I have tons of friends that don't have pc but want to know how I've played wow since day 1.. 😂.
If it is announced or not, 2023 low key one of the best gaming years ever.
They need to move past the controller it’s a handicap in every way, and I hate it. That’s why I will not get a Xbox or ps5 I am horrible with controller.
I know I did not just hear you call him Ian Holo-caustus at 4:17 lmao
If they hire the author/buy the rights to ConsolePort addon or even make their own addon/UI, i can honestly see this happening. I already play retail and Tank Mythic 0's with a controller through the use of this addon, and with more practice i probably could dip a toe into Mythic+5's and up. It's Bit of a headache sure to set up but once your done you're gaming. Having WoW on consoles would be a great idea, i already know a few friends who said they would honestly try it out if it was on console, and I'm pretty positive other people out there have friends they either never asked or did ask that would try it too.
Edit: Retail's spells have been pruned so much you can easily bind your whole Class Kit to a controller and even some items and macros.
OK so abit off topic I haven't been able to find it myself but yoshi p spoke about being interested in doing a ff14 and diablo collaboration if it was to ever happen what do you think it could be or what would you like to see happen
Personally I'd love to see ffxi come to console
Please don't. Half the game is outright unplayable with a gamepad. The rest is unplayable to a proficient level with a gamepad. If it lowers the cost of mats because all console players can do is farm herbs and ore, sure. If the skill level goes any lower, please no. More players doesn't mean better.
I feel if Blizzard work with Worlds Edge because the funneled play for Age of Empires 2 and 4 is great …. 🫡🫡🫡
this either wont work, or they would have to make wow so simple that its not worth playing anymore
This would help if World of Warcraft didn’t have so many buttons so many classes have over ten buttons to use at anytime especially in PVP. The amount of macros and so on needed just for competitive PVP is more buttons than any controller could map.
I havnt played wow in like 18 years so would love to jump in on console through gane pass or something.
Personally, if they can find a way around the mods allowing mods on console, I think there’s enough people out there to happily just go get a mouse and keyboard to play this without a controller I don’t think I’d ever play this any other way, population wise 100% it would be a massive boost to it
I think it’s coming sooner than we think. With that mapping update along with the update squashing unauthorized controllers, it could come any time. The crackdown on controllers may sound fishy, but I don’t think it’s malicious. I feel like a lot of what they are cracking down on are the types that give unfair advantages.
I would play WoW on Xbox.
Keyboard and mouse is and has been supported for a long time. Sure, if they can map keys on a controller, some people would use it. But no need to try to imagine an impossible task. You can plug a mouse and keyboard into your Series S/S right now.
i Would love it❤… i played wow when lich king was released and i have great memories.
All I want is both World of Warcraft and Runescape on console.
Will it also be on playstation i dint want ti buy another concal just one or two game on it
I would love to see this happen ❤🎉
Its actually funny, but I literally went 10 years without having once used a single addon aside from questie to show where queats were.
No addons for PvP, none for PvE, Raids, Dunegons and not once did I have an issue. I think the NEED for them just comes from people literally refusing to watch a video about how the boss mechanics work, and the inability to watch your screen and time things properly. I cannot wait for this to come to console, and much like I have on PC for years? I won't need addons for that either. You don't need them, you want them to make the game a breeze when it's already really simple.
Maybe they are working on a new game WoW2 or whatever the name and will release on Xbox. It will be amazing!
I'll say this if it comes to xbox I'll probably play im interested in the lore
LOL even if they released the game on xbox thats 299 for the series S and the controller is maybe 100 to 150 thats much cheaper than a pc and you get a next gen console you aint getting that good a pc for that price
sure controller mapping is fine but do the consoles really not support mouse and keyboards!?
I'm excited about WoW coming to Xbox
I came from xbox to pc a year ago specifically because i wanted to play wow. I sucked really bad at keyboard and mouse at first and hated using it because i was so used to using a controller all my life so i did some research on how to use my xbox controller and to my surprise it was already pretty well implemented into the game i was able to use the 4 face buttons as skills then left trigger shift modifier and right as alt so in total 12 skills, then i used the d pad up, down, left, and right for a new page of skills so in total 48 buttons for skills then my left bumper locked onto enemies, right bumper my mount, start/select for map/game menu, left analog stick for chat (i used a mini qwerty keyboard that plugs into controller to type on) then right analog stick click pulled up a cursor i could move with analog stick on anything i wanted to click on, items in inventory, etc. Obviously still not as functional or efficient as mouse and keyboard but after a couple weeks of learning where my skills were by muscle memory i had a great experience with using a controller and it felt pretty natural. Even though ive moved on from a controller and have a way better experience with keyboard and mouse now, i still support the game going to console its a fun game that i want more people to be able to play
He lost me when he forgot how to pronounce the "r" when he says Wold of Warcraft.
I quit WoW 3 years ago for good and have since become a console gamer due to kids and other responsibilities. That said, I would gladly reup my WoW account to play on my 86" Sony TV with Xbox support.
Playing wow without addons is just impossible for me
If this is true I'll be happy af I have a laptop with integrated graphics so I'm struggling even on wow classic in town lol out of town it will run fine tho
It will begreat on consoles ,it will be no bots
I've tried WoW on the steamdeck with the controller addon and it was amazing!! Would love for xbox to make it more controller friendly. I love wow but I would love it more on xbox 😅😁
I see people all over YouTube playing WoW retail on the steam deck… it’s more than possible, they don’t even use the trackpads lol.
it just requires man hours to redesign the casting and targeting system. The biggest hurdle would be healing, which has many more variables than playing as DPS or a Tank…
I am praying they make this happen, this community needs to come back with the current generation, the controller medium will build a bridge between that gap.
FFXIV cross bar is all wow needs
