>>
>>337459637

because they got bought up by Activision, because they fucked up Diablo 3 and because they've been riding the WoW wave for so long without releasing something new and interesting, Starcraft II has been alright i guess

Overwatch looks to be a hit, if they announce a Warcraft 4 anytime soon they'll be back on track

but yeah, really looking forward to Overwatch, hope it has some longevity

Closed Blizzard North, merged with Activision (symbolic of saying PROFIT is more important than a clean, quality product), and they're becoming less responsive to the demands of their core fans in order to appeal to more people. I'm not saying any of these are ethically wrong, but they sure don't make people want to like this company or their products. The last one isn't good business sense, though. "Appealing to everyone is appealing to no one". That shit is basic business ideology, and their subscription numbers teflect this.

I don't go to reddit but my current obession with Overwatch literally made me go there and discuss the game with minimal shitposting.

I found out a lot of people were talking about selling their shit just to get OW.

But since I am not familiar with the site I have no idea where to look for.

Whichever the case, you can choose to believe it's a couple but some people are already tired of TF2. Including myself.

It's the same exact thing. They were licensed to create a Warhammer game, lost the license and just decided to release the game as their own.

I am not tired of the game itself. It's the changes it has gone trough throughout the years. TF2 as at its core it's still a fun game.

But valve fucked the game so much just to cater to casuals, cosmetics fags, meme faggots and all that toxic shit you gather by making it free to play.

Sorry to break it to you but I am not playing Overwatch just because it's new but rather because it's fun. It reminds me of vanilla TF2 minus the ults but they can be easily overlooked. Unlike those annoying crits.

Two reasons.

a: /v/ hates everything because they're manlet children who hate their lives

b: They're salty that WoW stopped being a thing and they lost the only form of pretend social contact they had for years

All the threads asking for vanilla wow are proof enough. Vanilla wow, compared to modern wow, sucked tremendous ass almost to the point of being unplayable. Neckbeards should really take off their nostalgia glasses.

Blizzard is alright. Especially recently. Decent games, great animations, and they include fanservice, too.

The hate comes from the revolving door of developers and how much influence they have (or don't have) over their own productions. When the lead encounter design is a guy who was hired on in 2008 and who's response to a major feature request is "I don't make those calls", people get salty. Their MO over the past 10 years has been to take an IP they own and fundamentally fuck up the execution of a sequel, usually because someone sees dollar signs and throws quality out the window in favor of nickel and diming their user base.

People were used to Blizzard delivering exceptional games on a fairly regular schedule (Starcraft, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft and it's first expansion), which they simply do not do anymore since game development has changed so much and they figured out that they can make more money with very casual, cheap to develop -> high ROI, pre-mobile skinnerboxes than ambitious AAA projects.

What's wrong with BC?
>>
>>337466080
It wasn't the beginning of the decline but it embodied it. Resilience to nerf crit-heavy classes, stupidly heavy nerfs to classes that didn't need it just to appeal to normies, hybrids becoming more effective at multiple roles, DPS classes still stuck as just DPS, queues, smaller raids, flying mounts killing world PvP, arenas killing world PvP, battlegrounds became less PvP-centric.

The zones and content were cozy though.
>>
>>337466080
It introduced everything wrong with the MMO genre.

-Crossrealm everything which kills any community that may have existed

-Instant teleporting to dungeons which kills any sense of immersion

-Flying mounts which killed world PvP and lowered the chances of running into other adventurers during your questing

-Casualized raiding in favor of spoodfeeding all players with emblem epics

It's unfortunate, because a lot of the raids in BC were really fun. They just didn't feel as satisfying to achieve, because it really meant nothing. They required very little effort and anyone could do them.

It was the beginning of the end

>>337466601
T6 and even T5 raids were nearly completely ignored by the majority of guilds on our server because they were too hard, even after them removing the attunements.
Raiding (outside of Karazhan, Gruul, maybe sometimes Magtheridon and later on Zul'Aman) wasn't accessible at all during most of BC before the very late 30% bosshealth nerf, which essentially trivialized all of the content while some of the guilds still were stuck in the middle of Sunwell progression.
I do agree on the flying mounts and welfare epics though, but it really wasn't nearly as bad as Wrath and onwards and a small catchup mechanism for scrubs is alright in my book.
>>
>>337467615

>>337467068
Not sure why I'm responding to an idiot but...

>improved PvP

Wrong. PvP in vanilla was perfect. The only thing wrong with it was people who thought they wanted to play on a PvP server didn't actually want to play on a PvP server.

i.e. Priest gets ganked in STV by a Rogue and cries on the forums that he can't beat a rogue 1v1. This isn't something wrong with PvP, it's a player who didn't know that a priest should have a friend and that he was playing an MMORPG on a PvP server alone.

>nerfs

Warriors, Rogues, Hunters and Mages all got nerfed for no real reason other than "they're too hard to beat in duels" when PvP was based on team play, not duels.

>hybrids and DPS

So why do hybrids get to be good at several roles while DPS are only allowed to be good at one role? Why did blizz allow hybrid classes to be good tanks, good healers and good DPS while DPS classes could only DPS? How is that fair at all?

And by the way there was nothing wrong with hybrid classes before BC. They had a tree dedicated to PvP.

>queues

Being instantly teleported to a dungeon while eliminating the need to make a group for a dungeon yourself killed the community and sense of adventure.

>smaller raids are an improvement

Yeah, well they're not. They're less fun and killed the atmosphere for big raids.

>arenas

Plopping kids into an arena and making it the center of PvP eliminated any kind of element of surprise a rogue or other stealth class might have. PvP belonged in a battleground or in the world, not in an arena.

>it was only AV

Every battleground became a race to complete the objective and doing any different would be shamed as a stall tactic.

Dunno what warrior nerfs you're talking about, enrage and deathwish not stacking? Shit was bonkers.

Rogues as in HARP? Shit was broken as fuck in all aspects

I can't even think of mage nerfs and I mained it all of TBC and hunters got their deadzone removed which was the biggest duel buff you could ever think of for them

>Hybrids
I don't understand, why the fuck would you roll a DPS class if you wanted to heal or tank? How does this make TBC bad if it's been the same from vanilla to current retail?

>queues
Wasn't group finder added in wotlk, not tbc?

>smaller raids
raid mechanics > raid size and TBC absolutely trumps vanilla when it comes to that.

>Plopping kids into an arena and making it the center of PvP eliminated any kind of element of surprise a rogue or other stealth class might have. PvP belonged in a battleground or in the world, not in an arena.
So don't play arena if you don't like it, fucking hell I only played arena myself for the weapon and played BGs for the rest of the time

>Every battleground became a race to complete the objective and doing any different would be shamed as a stall tactic.
Vanilla rank farming was in no way better than TBC honor farming.

People seem to have dedicated their entire time to either loving and defending the shit out of Blizzard or hating them to death.
I personally don't care, if they make a game I like I'll play it. Overwatch was fun when I played it, so I'll play that.
LotV was alright too, I haven't played in awhile but I liked the co-op missions. Might come back when they add Abathur.

I dislike greedy devs as much as the next guy, but the butthurt that's directed towards Blizzard is kind of ridiculous. Nobody has even talked about Capcom and their new shitshow of a Resident Evil game. Maybe that's because nobody expects Capcom to make anything decent anymore. Even SFV was underwhelming.

You seem to be confusing a lot of stuff and mixing it with your subjective opinion.
Most buffs and nerfs were usually targeted towards PvE and balancing was done with mostly PvE in mind with the goal of delivering asymetric PvE gameplay. PvP always was more of an afterthought and just managed to be fairly well balanced for a brief period of time during TBC in a single arena bracket (3v3) while others were always fairly unbalanced and broken including world PvP, which was obviously a lot of fun due to it's emergent nature but far from good.

Hybrid classes were severely underpowered on at least 1 more often than not 2 trees in PvE except on a few bosses where we switched in the hybrid tanks for a single purpose (Druids on Brutallus, a Paladin tank on M'uru)
For DPS Warlocks and Warglaive Rogues were king to a degree where there was little reason to bring other melee DPS or casters to a fight similar to the abuse of class stacking in general, which they tried to counteract with their "bring the player not the class" homogenization.

Dungeon queues were introduced in Wrath and 25 player raids were less of a clusterfuck and easier to organize and imo a good compromise in comparison to 40 man raids.

>the most unbalanced the game has been

I've already explained that it perfectly balanced around team play. The only problem with the balance was that people didn't understand why rogues were godlike 1v1.

And that "korean tier grind" was based on the other players on your server. If you were on a competitive server then you had a competitive week ahead of you and vice-versa. That's what PvP is, after-all. Competitive.

>>337469746
>Most buffs and nerfs were usually targeted towards PvE and balancing was done with mostly PvE in mind

Wrong. Resilience nerfed all classes that relied on crit to do burst damage. Arms and fury trees for Warriors were severely gimped. Rogues basically only had one "good" spec for PvP, down from several. And that one "good" spec was shit.

>hybrids were underpowered

No, they weren't. Paladins were excellent healers. Retribution had good buffs. Protection was okay in PvP, too. Druids were superb healers and their other specs were alright for PvP. Shamans were good healers, good buffers and dank in PvP.

>25 man raids

The only thing these did was make it so you needed like 15-20 decent players instead of 10 good players with 30 chumps. The content revolving around this was fucking stupid least-common-denominator bullshit. One person stepping on a tile or needed to stand up to take a piss shouldn't be the difference between a wipe and a kill.

You do realize that 2v2s were all Warrior/Druid or Lock/Druid and 3v3s were also fairly well populated with Warglaive Rogues, Warriors and Locks in a similar, less bullshitty fashion?

Running around in circles for hours doesn't make your class good at PvP. It was a simple debuff and cleanse war. Shit was fucking stupid because they got nerfed to shit, added with resilence. Warlocks had a much easier time in PvP because they went through the TBC nerf cycle practically unscathed.

>>337471684
Honestly you sound like one of those BG players who were mad about not being able to rng down undergeared clothies anymore due to resilience and the resulting increase in TTK, which enabled other classes to actually have some kind of counterplay to geared Rogues or Hunters, that was virtually nonexistent in Vanilla. Should have gotten yourself hands on a pair of Warglaives, which introduced the rng bullshit again.

Not saying that Warlocks were pretty bad, but Warriors and especially Hemorrhage/Adrenaline Rush/Preparation rogues were way worse at certain points.

Whats wroung with Diablo 3 exactly

>>337473040
Well then perhaps you'd like to explain to me why I shouldn't be able to elbow drop an undergeared clothy.

I mean he's wearing cloth and not the good kind. That's sort of the point of MMORPGs. Your gear determines your status. RNG decides if you crit or not. Not a difficult concept.

>>337473242
It's shit.
>>
>>337473336
But you could elbow drop an UNDERGEARED clothy.

A 4/4 glaive rogue would kill a green geared mage in 3 hemos.

Maybe for release but the expansion fixed the problems of the launch.

I could go on an autistic explanation of why they shat all over their franchises with StarCraft2 and Diablo 3, but at this point I no longer care enough. I'll forever have an anal fissure over SC2 in particular, but it's not worth it to explain my hatred for them just to get a 'lel sperg'.

Because I used to love [Blizzard Game] and played it all the time with my friends. Those were the days back when I was 12. Played the games for years, they were the best. Then Blizzard [nerfed my class/released an expansion I didn't like/got bought by Activision/made a game slightly different to my autistic needs] and they became worse than Hitler. They're fucking dead to me now.

Because the ability to elbow drop any kind of class hints at balance issues. That's why resilience was introduced and fairly easy to come by so you had to actually play better than your opponent in PvP rather than relying on the randomness that are critical strikes.
>>
>>337474684
>Because the ability to elbow drop any kind of class hints at balance issues

You're wrong. If someone has better gear than you they should be able to elbow drop you. That's why you get better gear. It's not a balance issue when balance revolves around team play. Rogues were a class that could stomp you if you were alone. If a priest had a warrior buddy they were incredibly powerful.

Resilience was added simply to fuck over crit-heavy classes like rogues and warriors because idiots like you whined about getting ganked while playing your clothy alone in a PvP zone.

Every RPG has RNG. Almost every video game has RNG. If you don't like RNG don't play an RPG or find a different hobby all together. If you want to play solo play a single player RPG. If you don't like getting ganked play on a PvE server or don't fucking play the game. Stop ruining the game and the genre and the video games in general just because you're too fucking stupid to play something more fitting for you.
>>
they're a company completely devoid of ethical business policy
>>
>>337475379
And despite all this, you could stomp people in wpvp 1v4 as one of the most crit dependant specs in the fucking game (frost mage).
>>
>>337475672
It was almost like they were good at AoE or something.
>>
>>337475875
Except frost PvP had nothing to do with AoE except getting rogues out of stealth with r1 blizzard.

The whole point was to control them and blow them the fuck up one at a time with a shattercombo (read: CRITS)

>>337476072
Yes, crits. Poor baby. Maybe you should ask yourself why none of those 4 players had an answer to a frost mage. Blind, vanish, fear, counterspell, heals, shields, buffs, shapeshift...

Were they out of mana? Were they four warriors? Were their cooldowns all depleted?

>>
>>337476332
It was mainly due to them being both undergeared and bad at the game. See http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=70655

You obviously couldn't 1v4 against skilled players with pvp trinkets and PvP gear.
>>
>>337476332
Make up your mind m8

Should gear dominate in PvP or skill?

TBC was a mix of both, while vanilla was mostly gear based.

>>337459637
Nostcucks are still mad
>>
>>337459637
Give me a good reason not to hate them that isnt fueled by nostalgia
>>
>>337476702
So they were undergeared and bad at the game. They should lose 1v4 against someone who plays the fucking game.


>>337476739
In that sense a rogue could 1v1000000 against level 5 characters. That's clearly not a balance issue, numb-skulls.

As capable as a TF2 clone can be.

It's a casualized version of tf2, like HotS was a casualized version of LoL.

It's fun but I don't see it lasting long without a competitive scene, and that wont happen while lmao20tick is a thing.
>>
>>337477503
As opposed to Hots though, Overwatch has insanely high production quality. It is very obviousy a huge amount of money went into Overwatch, while Hots is only a side project.
>>
>>337477704
Overwatch is the scraps of what was left of Titan, so we are probably just seeing how much money they have actually lost on that game and probably the reason why Blizzard will not dare to produce a new MMO in the foreseeable future.
