I hope you enjoy the interview! Sorry about the Audio.
If you’d like a written roundup there’s one here https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/news/wow-developer-interview-with-ion-hazzikostas-at-gamescom2024-the-war-within/
Microsoft used EA in WOW to make up for the EA money they lost during the Baldurs gate 3 fiasco lmao. Its so apparent BG3 was able to do EA because it was. Full complete game with A HUGE amount of content. With the success of BG3 expect this to be the new norm unfortunately 😅
Please tell me I’m not alone on this, but why the F would he plant the seed of Bfa remix , like no…. Legion yes. I actually wouldn’t mind TBC or wrath even though I don’t did have it in classic , I think those are FAR better options than bfa
Audio is really blown out.
wod remix before legion, i pray to god, give us accelerated methods to do the nemesis achievements, return wod heirloom trinkets like they did garrosh heirlooms, slightly faster garrison rank 3 account meta achievements, the raids are already perfect, so are apexis crystal stuff and dungeons for remix style stuff, you could also house remix vendors directly inside garrisons, mission table would be insanely cool for a 2-3 month remix event, also the leveling holy shit give us wod remix, legion can come after.
Ruling out Dracthyr druid when they're completely reasonable candidates for them is insane. Please walk back that decision.
I am so glad they're finally recognizing that many players don't raid, and we've had a rough time with endgame for the lifetime of the game. I quit in BfA because there was absolutely nothing for me to do, and I was just tuned out until WW. I am so excited to finally see the conclusion of the story myself, rather than in a YouTube video!
I'm back playing Wow after leaving the last 2 nightmare expansions after a few weeks. I am SO happy about the delves (I love them), the story mode coming for end of game story wrap up and follower dungeons! The world tier vault addition is also cool. As a predominately solo player (since early vanilla) I feel looked after finally!
Sounds like it was recorded with a toaster
I have to say that someone who is in a unique position to interview the game director of World of Warcraft should have proper equipment. This is simply inexcusable. Please be better.
great interview!
Fantastic interview! Thank you for doing it!
The Nexus is still one of the best looking dungeons they’ve ever made. It would make an awesome M+ with some walls put up!
I loved being able to understand all of Ions answers
I cant believe you uploaded this lmao
10:14 had me dying bro
Remix Legion!!!
It would be nice if we could just get rid of the M+ key(the actual physical key not the M+ system). Then just make it like the delves where you walk in to the dungeon and select the difficulty you want. And yes that means deranking wont be a thing anymore. Tbh tho as a person who has done 20+ keys and up(aka 10+ and up now since the change), i don't see the point off deranking. Thats just me tho or at the very least make keys neutral so we can run the dungeon we want.
This is VERY hard to understand. Maybe next time use a different mic that doesn't latch onto a shirt.
Why the hell did you remove the glory achievements? "It's not interesting enough" FOR WHO? You, maybe, but I and my guild loved to do them. Another dumb, senseless decision.
Don't agree with the idea that hero talents should be separated from built in class lore.
Change my mind. Modern WoW uses mythic and arena players to sell WoW token carries to mobile gamers who don't want to play a MMO, but want to feel special walking around an increasingly vacant town. It's not a MMO. It's a sweatshop that now has tier classes in it's failing society to further exploit people like early access. You either pay to win or you lose your life. The only winning move is not to play and the only way to sucker people into still being exploited is influencers who are now as bad as game journalists with twitch drops and monetized opinions.
