Do you not even play this game? Catchup gear has been a thing since the very first end-game content patch that World of Warcraft ever received. In fact it was a thing before that since the PvP patch came before any end-game patches did and it introduced catchup gear too.

Lolis are cancerous fan-service. Every game I've seen them in slides the reasoning for them under the rug as some sort of 'Natural' race because actual Lolis wouldn't fit anywhere near what games put them in. Tera did this the worst and no other game has made it fit.

Worgen make sense in Lore. Druids try harnessing Wild God's power.

Power makes them go crazy. They start killing people and spreading like a disease.

Other Druids lock them away in a far away place where they won't hurt anyone.

Humans looking for weapon to defend themselves with uncover druidic area and become tainted, begin spreading again.

Wild God reincarnated lends a hand and helps to rein them in.

Archimonde, who is a literal reskin of a male draenei you could make in a weekend. He is also so easy that on Heroic mode you can clear him in 30 seconds with 10 people at 25 man difficulty, and his Mythic rendition can be pugged.

I'm aware of the gay retcon, Kiljaeden is also one of these and yet he looks totally distinct and unique. Also your bullshit about him looking like he did in WC3 is exactly that, bullshit.

I play 2-3 dota matches a day and they are fantastic while having 1-6 active abilities. I don't understand the complaints about ability pruning. You don't need 4 rows of shit to make a game fun. You need things to be meaningful, differentiated, and noticeable.

Not only that, but the "class fantasy" as they're calling it now is also incredibly important. As long as the classes actually FEEL like their class/role, then it's doing a damn good job. Something I hope they're succeeding with in Legion.
>>
>>344249292
>Because the pruning is crazy huge, you can't even fill 2 bars now.

I don't see the problem. In fact I wish they took a lesson from Wildstar and pruned a few more while really buffing the ones that are left AND THEN give you 8 slots for you to choose what abilities you want active. It would help differentiate people more than just the talent trees do. Every Class X Talent Tree Y person might not be identical then. There would be more room for experimentation.

Never gonna happen, for shame though.
>>
>>344249151
DOTA isn't an MMO, let alone WOW

For many raiders a lot of fun from PVE came not from the boss mechanics or their "class fantasy" whatever that means, but from the skill of executing their rotation as close to perfection while not dying to mechanics

when skills floors are removed, no one stands out because a nutless monkey can do 90% of your dps/hps

>>344249292
>What? They are topping the meters in every raid test
I'd like to see your evidence for this. The mythic attempts I've seen have been dominated by Enhancement shaman, even after their repeated nerfs.
>>
>>344249653
I raided for years and my rotation was 4-5 skills with maybe 2 more for burst and 1 or 2 other highly situational skills. I don't see the problem with pruning. The things they got right were when you chose a talent and the talent-granted ability actually replaced your default one in all uses, like certain druid melee talents iirc (havent played in a long time).

Shit, dude, when we were raiding Molten Core there were a few classes who literally hit one button to dps. Mages and some Warlocks, for example. I played every class during BC and WOTLK and most of them kept to a 4-6 or so main skill rotation. So why the fuck have we ever needed 40 skills? That sort of bullshit is what made it a real pain in the ass to play a warrior past WOTLK.

You mean like in vanilla? Where you were lucky to have even ONE good skill, let alone 3-4, and the rest were complete garbage that was either good only against a specific class or in one specific boss fight, or was just complete garbage that you shouldn't even have on your bars at all?
Go back and play vanilla WoW. You'll find yourself desperately screaming for the ability diversity that current WoW has.

I find the people complaining about the simplification of abilities, while also stroking vanilla very odd.
Sure if you are comparing it to WoTLK, thats a fair point. But if you actively turn around and say Vanilla was the pinnacle of the game and nothing was better, you clearly didn't play vanilla. Most of the classes were drop-dead simple, several specs were considered worthless, hell some things like Prot warriors could get by with 1-2 moves.
Most of the shit back then was useless fluff when it came to raiding. The most complex thing was healers having different ranked heals for mana conservation.
I will admit, I am sad to see abilities pruned out since WoTLK, as I feel it was pretty complex but also varied back then. However it's no where near as bad as vanilla.

MMOs died with the rise of datamining. There's no exploration or discovery factor. Also, the combat is utter fucking garbage. Google the best rotation, set it to a macro, and you're already doing more damage than 90% of the people you're playing with.
>>
>>344256248
I just don't look it up.
I only look up rotations once I start getting into serious end-game content. The only shit I know about the expansion so far is the artifacts and their quests.

Oh good. I was wondering where the usual autistic bullshit green text post was for this. Every other blizzard game had one and I thought Blizzard might actually be irrelevant enough now that people weren't going to sperg. Thanks for proving me wrong.

There is titanforging. Any item you get can have its level increased by a random amount. That amount rerolls every time, so you have say (made up numbers), 20% chance to get 5 more ilevels, then if that succeeds, 20% chance to get 5 more ilevels, all the way up to whatever the highest mythic raid gear is. The odds of it happening are infinitesimal, but starting dungeon blues can become the highest possible ilevel if you get super super lucky.

The class halls are the best fucking thing. I love the intro quests. I love the artifact quests. At least for the most part. I love how lore heavy and class tailored they all are. Even the comically boring Hunter Class hall is super flavorful. And Warlocks are going to be creaming themselves over what they get. Coolest fucking class I swear to fuck and their specs are great.

>No flexibility in which zones you want to do, like in WotLK and to a lesser extent MoP, you have to complete almost all four to get to level cap

That's wrong. If you do the profession quests as well you will hit cap after 2 1/2 zones.

Stopped reading past the first one. They are still in tuning so its impossible for any of that to be mapped out. Even the usual programs that are used for that sort of thing are a few patches behind. Its going to take until a bit after launch for any clear cut "best" to show up for classes.

you are probablly him

They haven't even updated the original battlegrounds, which were first made by Blizzard somewhere around 2001-2004

I can't believe this game still has a sub fee, given how little work they put into it

Zone Choice
>FOUR (4) leveling zones
>No flexibility in which zones you want to do, like in WotLK and to a lesser extent MoP, you have to complete almost all four to get to level cap

bullshit, ive leveled to 110 in beta and ive only completed 3 zones (highmountain, stormheim, vashjir, or how that faggy druid zone is called)

>More RNG on RNG Loot
from what ive read, only lesser items can get titanforged to have a very small chance of being as good as heroic raiding gear (just like the tanaanjungle items, i think they are called baleful)

>NO NEW BATTLEGROUNDS FOR THE SECOND EXPANSION IN A ROW

a real shame, honestly, i mean atleast we get 2 new arenas and a new honor system, seems better than wod pvp content (ashran was a mistake) but its still fucked that the least bg was 2013

>Reputation Quests
i did some on beta, shits are pretty fun and probably the best idea for world content blizzard ever had (srsly, the level experience and the entire world content on broken isle feels way to good)

Gear from new content patch makes gameplay from a previous patch completely irrelevant
>Patches should be IN ADDITION to the expansion's gameplay, not a replacement for the prior 6 months in the expansion
>Gear catchup mechanics are NEVER as fun as the content they replace

i agree but they do that shit since wotlk so i dont have any hopes for that (i mainly play pvp so i dont care that much either)

I was thinking about this the other day. they could easily re skin the old bgs to look better but nope.

Not only that but everything pre mop is starting to age like shit, expecially outland / kalimdor and EK. why they dont have a team of people whos job is to update old shit (so that maybe it wouldnt be old outdated content) is beyond me

actually i know why. its because theres a vocal mintority of autists who get upset when old content is updated. i cant find the tweet but some fag tweeted blizz that he lost his old pal because the old bear model was updated in legion

but im going to wait for them to beg me to come back to their game and also not to inflate their stupid preorder numbers

i want them to know how much they fucked up with wod
also to curb their numbers so they get shitty numbers for investors

The old BGs are long past due for a facelift. I can't play them without noticing how decrepit they look. Not to mention they're constantly infested with bots no matter how many 'banwaves' they enact

Wait people still play WoW? Really? Is this some case of stockholme syndrome?

Seriously the game has been shit since cata and everytime blizzard promises something it turns out to be crap and yet all I see are blizzdrones in this thread actually defending this game.

Aren't any of you mad? I actually fell for the WoD meme and came back only to find myself bored out of my mind a month later. It's so stupid that this company can make money from retards like the ones in this thread who have no self-respect.
>>
As for me blizzard can go gtfo. I played druid and I was happy when they wanted to to introduce gear with changing stas so even suboptimal, I can play another spec. But it doesn't matter because each fucking expansion they give some shit that don't let you play 2 specs first 2 time legendary shit, now artifact that force you to fucking choose what spec you want to play for whole expansion

They absolutely won't because they know the subs will dive to their lowest point yet once everyone loses interest in Legion, a few months after release
>>
>>344261541
I don't understand why people like it either. I don't care that they play on retail but I'm done. After WoD I don't want to play Legion.
>>
>>344261635
It's WoW, It's blizzard. Every xpac changes or adds enough to bring peopel back in droves. And despite WoD's problems it still brought enough hype to raise subs higher than what MoP had even if only for a couple months.

Legion is something they've been "carrot on a stick" to the fanbase for years. Not to mention a shiney awesome artifact weapon. So yeah it's probably going to explode at release as usual.

The new mythic+ dungeons and world quests will determine if people stick around and won't know till people their hands on it.

No. Wowpedia or the games themselves. No other sources are acceptable.
