Same price as WoD actually, $10 increase justified by the tacked on character boost which some people don't even want / have use for.

Or maybe you should learn the track record of WoW? WoD came out a month before the set release date. So this doesn't exactly bode well for an early release.

Because Blizz like locking us out now. Remember Path of Titans? Remember they said they removed it because they hate gated content nowadays?

So sad to see the game I spent so much time playing be so fucking dead

Well, i'm off to Gw2, cya
>>
>>315585738
I got 4 characters at max level. 3 Alliance (Ret/Holy Pali, Feral/Balance Druid, Brewmaster/Windwalker Monk) and 1 Horde (Ret/Prot Pali).
I got a Shadow/Disc Priest stuck at 60 because I fucking hate Priests. I got a lvl 73 Prot/Fury Warrior. I'm undecided wich to boost.
Since I started playing in the middle of the SoO content drought, got 4 max level chars and many parked in between,a boost is usefull for you to go to max level to raid with a new class on the side. I wanna do that on my Warrior.
But that is the only justifiable situation IMHO since I also got like 4 other classes I stopped playing at 60 and 2 other at 70 and 80.

I honestly believe they're content just letting it fizzle out. The investment they have to make for the game to actually be good is more than they find to be worthwhile. I hear HS is making money by the truckload and that game looks like a team of ten or twenty could run it. They just don't need WoW anymore. Maybe they don't even want it. They're heading in the right direction if killing it is their goal.

They removed Path of the Titans because it would have been a boring shitty grind that every character would have to complete before they were viable in any kind of function.

Imagine if you HAD TO grind archeology to max on every character or nobody would ever group with you. It would be complete shit. Path of Titans was a complete shit failure of a concept.

It's the kind of thing that works in a single player game where people are only concerned about their own progress.

I believe this is the case. I think when Titan failed and if rumors are true, was turned into Overwatch then we see what end they're trending to. They tell us that, "We want to keep making shit for the game, as long as you keep wanting to play the game." But they keep giving us interestingly more reasons to not play the game.

>>315586267

The core issue for WoW as a platform is that it can't be ported to other platforms. No chance for a console version, absolutely no chance for a mobile version. In this era, nobody cares if WoW can run on every computer in the world because a big fat chunk of "GAMERS" play on mobile and console instead of their computers now.

Yeah that doesn't last beyond a month. Trust me I went through the exact same thing leaving WoD for GW2.

Since the Overwatch beta started, WoW servers have been a bit laggy at peak hours.
Mmmhm, what could be the relation?
>WoW servers on the Tuesday before the Overwatch beta launch closed for maintenance 3 hours earlier than usual
They moved part of the WoW servers to the Overwatch beta.
They didn't buy servers specificly for the game yet. Legion will come out and it will be as bad as WoD because they are too much of a jew to invest in more servers like they should have done in WoD and even for the fucking MoP launch.

4 is Final Verdict. Lvl 100 talent that replaces Templar's Verdict.
8 is nothing. You must be confusing it with 6 wich is a macro I have to pop Avenging Wrath/Holy Avenger at the same time (I prefer the burst build for burning down specific targets in boss fights).
F1 is nothing. If you are talking about F it's a macro to pop Avenging Wrath/Execution Sentence at the same time (due to the HFC 2 piece bonus that gives you 3 charges of the Avenging Wrath).
The macros have different icons so I can differentiate them on my bars. I rarely look at them since I've gotten so used to playing Ret I can just look at the boss and ground. Wich is essential when you have a potato PC so bad it can't properly render the edges of most fire on the ground.

MOP objectively had more content than WOD. There is nothing to debate about this.

You can argue about the quality of the content, story, and state of balances, these things are all worth talking. But MOP had vastly more raw content than WOD.

That's back when the game had social functions and experiences. You know, like an MMO should. But this isn't an MMO anymore.

Whenever I think of WoW I think of this

Vanilla: You're born to a brilliant sunrise. The world is all new. Every turn, every corner is a new experience. Your future is bright and sunny. Things are just getting started. You're a noob but so is everyone else. Everything is surprise, laughs and good times. Happiness is all you feel and all you know.

Burning Crusade: The sun is at it's highest in the sky. You're no longer green and have settled comfortably into the world. Everything is at its zenith. The world is bustling and you're just one of the privileged few lucky enough to have lived in such a great time.

Wrath: You look onto the horizon. The sun is setting. You feel creaks in your bones that weren't there yesterday. You're wizened and weathered, a sage of times past. You make your final journey into the unknown, the land beyond sight. You leave behind everything, your friends, your memories, the world itself. You say goodbye and disappear as the last glimpse of the sun vanishes behind the sea.

Cataclysm: You return. You're old. Your adventures are over. The world you left is gone, changed completely. New faces are all that can be seen, none that you recognize. You realize your time has long past, the world belongs to others now. This is not your place...not anymore, the sun already set on you. It will never rise for you again.

This was all on a PvE server tho, we used a priest to mind control mobs, when timed right they would attack the mind controlled NPC and get flagged, we would kill them non stop until they raged got brave enough to fight us two, mostly once they had like 10 people and we would then just kill everyone and they would get even angrier and would continue to escalate until they overwhelmed us with like 50 dudes.

While they were celebrating their "victory" talking shit and disbanding their posse we would simply run back from GY and kill the completely spread out and flagged island, and repeat every day for like an entire month.

We got enough for the mount and 2000 coins achievement, and even more to sell the pets.

Shit got hot on the forums and they tried to get us all banned, even some of our guild members tried to get us both banned because we were making the entire server hate us, our GM even threatened to kick us but we didn't listen because top guild DPS feral druid and #1 US feral druid during SoO if you have to ask) and priest was a pretty good player too.

Was fun

In hindsight, loot lottery was a fucking bitch (didn't get my last T2 piece until WotLK for fucks sakes) but it gave more weight to the equipment that you had.

Even if that was true (and it isn't) it would be because 75% of them are in raids. There is no fucking dungeon content in the game anymore. It's a pile of shit for people who want to casually progress (a la TBC days). They completely destroyed any sense of progression by making all content that wasn't JUST released completely pointless. So even if there was 39 bosses only like 9 of them are relevant at any time.

Where-as in TBC all of them were relevant depending on your personal point of progression. The game is a piece of shit now.

I get that people are just hating WoW on purpose, but at the very least shitpost over something legitimate. WoD has plenty of sticking points already without yall having to bend the truth. It's a little sad desu senpai.

Who has the collage of the bored as fuck Germans at the Gamescon reveal? That shit is fucking gospel now.

selective reading

at this point i'd just stay out of these types of threads. no one on this website even likes video games, let alone Blizzard as a company

>much earlier
>1 month

And you complain about hyperbole, oh the irony.

they weren't bored, they were confused because the announcement was in english and they could probably all barely understand the information being announced (if they understood it at all)

How about you check this month's graph, only 100k subs lost compared to the doomsayers "Millions more will be lost"

C'mon man. Let's enjoy the fun while we can. Please? At this point Blizzcon has to suck everyone in the audience and through their stream off to make it feel better. Just let me have my fun.
>>
>>315591602
That's counting tokens. Blizzard themselves already admitted defeat by stating they won't reveal sub numbers any more. You can stop now, it's finally over.

Why would people quit a game to play the same game but on slow motion?

i don't understand, does the token not count? it's still purchased with real money by someone

Because it has content and doesn't jew the shit out of you. Unlike Blizzard, Yoshi and his team actually give a shit.

>>315586205
I think we'll all be dead before wow truly has a sub count of 0, or until blizzard manually pulls the plug because they figure doing WoW 2 makes them more money and they have a head start by forcing the old community to migrate.

I mean, fucking >10 years and they're still above any numbers that any other MMORPG, sub-based or otherwise, was able to achieve. I couldn't explain this garbage to you if my life depended on it, but there are apparently really people who have unironically enjoyed the game for so many years.

If you think about something like Everquest which is still running, I have a hard time seeing how WoW will have sub 1 mil numbers before 2020.
>>
>>315591891

Because its more fun that way.
>>
>>315591487
That's just bullshit

20-something German nerds probably know basic English
I live in a country that is much worse at English than Germany and even we would have understood
Also I clearly remember German translations on the panel

Most importantly you see new continent with the picture of it artifacts with pictures new class demon hunter etc you're definitely gonna understand and if it doesnt hype you it's not because you didn't get it

For the same reason that people prefer playing Strategy games over MOBAs.
