Draenei better get a new class option, they haven't given them the one they were owed since fucking Cata. I'd like Warlock but I'll accept Rogue.

tauren are much bigger and heavier
so the pressure of their body is focused into a smaller area on the foot

Blizzard finally gives into the wishes of players. After everyone already left.
Blizzard combines abilities to make rotations easier. Then add large global cooldowns which render the abilities pointless.
>>316590662

>>316590097
Tried a hunter on a TBC private server and it was the most boring thing possible, not sure if they got more interesting or less with ability pruning and focus change.
Maybe the legion changes will make things more interesting especially with melee build for them. Still would like to have gnome paladins though.

Not this time around. This has been acknowledged all the way back to WotLK, Blizzard just never did anything about it.
These aren't large sweeping features, they are just bargaining chips that were already developed. Blizzard had transparent gear back in Vanilla.
>>316590894
nah, it was one specific batshit insane highborne mage, not all the mages.

Jokes aside, that account wide mog, hide shoulders option, and gnome hunters have been long time requests that the players . Legion is pretty much a "Oh shit, We're sorry" expansion because of WoD, so why wouldn't they focus on things the players have been asking for a long time, like Hide Shoulders and Gnome Hunters. And with Wardrobe, they effectively killed any remaining issues with Storage Space people have in the game.
Though I can't excuse the terrible fanfiction-tier writing.
>>316591235
>I BET IT'S ANOTHER FUICKING WOD
You better believe it. The only hope is that the developers include more bonus areas, and use their spare time to make endgame content rather than leveling content (which was still awful).
>>316591025
>Marksmanship going petless

what the fuck does survival do then? melee?
>>316591145
dabbling with arcane magic created a massive rift between the highborne and the other mages. it also made aszhara even more power hungry, at which point she found sargeras, and all but forced the highborne to start working on a demon portal to bring him to azeroth. thanks to illidan, a handful of highborne betrayers, the new druid order, and the priestesses, as well as the demigods, earthen, tauren, and gnolls, they managed to repel the demons.

It's funny in a sad way how they can't get the code for it to work when on all private servers it works fine.
I don't think there is a single original coder for wow left to understand the old code and everything is just piled on top hoping nothing breaks when patching.

except they didnt, and they're already long enough. in fact, its annoying as fuck to play a fury warrior because the GCD on wild strike is so fucking short that unless you play with like 3 ms you are losing dps

I like how they've just given up on PvP, maybe they finally realized how garbage it was.
At least they finally fixed the human racial problem. When was that ability added anyway, fucking WotLK or something? And it took them that long to remove?
>>316592156
they'll definitely have something, the previews they've mentioned many times the previews are only core abilities, they haven't shown talents yet which there's supposedly there's a lot of new ones

>>316591548
>unless you play with like 3 ms you are losing dps
That's the ideal DPS time for hardcore raiders. Raiders that have virtually everything in macros and keybinds. While normal people end up suffering arthritis from trying to keep up.
>>316591930
Character goals in WoW are inconsistent as fuck, Garrosh being the prime example. His transformation from BC on-wards was paced like a rabbit on crack.
Did anyone else think this was by far the more boring and uninteresting and cliched expansion trailer?
Spoilers you probably predicted yourself...Warlords of Draenor happened so we could kill alternate Gul'dan in Legion, so the spirit of main time line Gul'dan can possess the body. It was all just to bring back Gul'dan.He will team up with Illidan.
>>316591649
No, it was more like
Blizzard: here's a world where every race and faction experiences things differently.
Forums: But we want everything the same
Blizzard's official Jew: If we make everything simple and the same, we'll make more money!
The end.
I've liked what they've show so far, but they still can't seem to manage to avoid the year long content droughts between expansions. The game is probably down to around 5mil subs now, and while this is still a lot, it's starting to enter the zone where this kinda shit simply shouldn't be happening.
People don't seem to realize Blizz has known exactly what players have asked for for years.
They have it pinned to the wall and peel stuff off to and add to the next content patch or expansion as a major selling point when subs get dicey.
List of shit people have asked for since Vanilla:
>Player Housing
>more class/race combos
>armor customization
>hiding shoulders option
>Demon Hunters
>Dark Rangers
>Monks/Runemasters
>Death Knights
>Player Goblins
>Player Ogres
>Player Naga
>Ashbringer
>Azshara/South Seas
>Emerald Nightmare
>New dances
Looking at expansions since, we got most of these things staggered from Wrath through the upcoming Legion features.
You can bet your ass we'll get everything listed eventually, but they'll be "selling points" for otherwise content-dry expansions.
WoD is the most recent example of horrendously stretched out content (at the most expensive price no less), expecting Garrisons as "player housing" to hype the expansion enough to sell.
If you don't realize this then you deserve to continue to shell 15 a month for a game that delivers more like 5 a month's worth of content.
>>316591671
I mean, that's not what it was.
but each expansion made every class less and less variable. The game had it's most challenging and diversity in vanilla.
You blizzard fanboys are deluded. It's not even the same company anymore and you'll still defend it.
BIG BANDA ;DDDD
>>316592449
>player housing
Garrisons and Class Halls were never player housing.
>>316592404
I think everybody figured that out. It's not exactly an amazing revelation.
Blizzard fucked up by killing off so many Warcraft villains so quickly that they had to bring some back.
>>316592482
Vanilla raiding was just spamming shadow bolt so you didn't knock off sunder armor.
>>316592570

>>316592404
It was so we could have Illidan...

>>316592404
I want to call you stupid, but our current form of Blizzard leads me to believe this is possible.
>>316592482
>The game had it's most challenging and diversity in vanilla.
go look at raid mechanics in vanilla compared to now, it's fucking laughable. the challenge in vanilla was trying to get 40 people who could show up every week.
>I mean, that's not what it was.
and yes, that was how it was. any hunter who wasn't retarded used a steady shot macro, which was LITERALLY ONE BUTTON.
tedious does not equal difficult, and that's all vanilla was.
>>316592482
Vanilla was a fucking mess because Blizzard had no idea how to make an MMO since they were and RTS heavy company. Leveling mobs were hard because they couldn't balance shit.
>>316592593
Only Molten Core. As it was the first raid in the game.
And even then, it was still better. what does that tell you?

destro+sacrifice was the best dps spec from t5 to the rest of BC, which all you did was apply one curse (WHICH LASTED 5 MINUTES BTW) and you spammed shadowbolt. THE ENTIRE FIGHT.
oh sorry, i forgot once you get sunwell you spam incinerate instead of shadowbolt
>>316592836

I've raided from Vanilla to WotLK, and tried again during WoD.
It's been garbage since BC. You just don't want to believe you invested in garbage.
>any hunter who wasn't retarded used a steady shot macro
And somehow, they made all classes easier than this. Keep in mind, you could say this about any class at any time, and someone would agree with you, because this is /v/ afterall. But either way, you are talking about range dps in raids. Which was always "cast the one spell" over and over again.
And yet, you think removing the skill tree and having all classes overlap completely is more diverse and fun.
>>316592721
>Blizzard had no idea how to make an MMO
lol they still don't. It's literally just fame. WoW is the Justin Bieber of video games now.
>>316591098

>>316592942
They made new characters in WoD, too, but Yrel is just more space goat fujo bait pandering.
>>316592074
Well they cut off all the fluff in between those in wow over the years so what's left?
>>316592156
Maybe they are making specs specialized so they can't all do everything and that markmanship is full on damage with little versatility or cc.
This is Blizzard though i wouldn't expect them to do something like that.

How was he a Warlock when he studied arcane magic?
lel, the pauldrons became so large that they got the same treatment as helmets. Like they literaly make the face unidentifiable.
why do people still play this meme again?
The fact that so many people actually threatened to quit over gnomes not being hunters says all it needs to about the WoW playerbase now.
Fuck em.
>>316592570
The Garrisons definitely were, in the vision of current Blizzard. Old Blizzard never bothered as they knew the feature would probably bring down the rest of the game, with very little content as a result. With WoD, you have Cory Stockton to thank for specifically making Garrisons the center of the expansion. As they said in a pre-WoD interview, they are his "baby". Him and Tom Chilton are jokes, both are assclowns who have led WoW into a fucking casual ditch, but I guess it must be working as intended.
>>316594012
Blizzard did actually try housing back during the development of WoW. That portal in Stormwind that's gated off was the entrance to player housing.
But I don't remember if they dropped it because it wouldn't work, or because they thought people wouldn't be socializing. They were right about the socializing part as Garrisons have shown. At least class halls aren't instanced crap. The whole "being a commander" thing in WoD was off-putting as fuck, when everybody else is a commander too.
>>316592717
Sir steady shot wasn't implemented until TBC you need to salvage your statement before the masses catches up.
I'm not even alliance and they still haven't fixed Stormwind park. I'm sure if we lose a raid tier we can have it in 7.1
>>316593904
Gnomes without guns never made any sense.
I don't wanna get sucked in again but the rogue changes seems kinda neat, I'll probably be put off once they start pruning the things they promised before release like they always do.
>>316593373
I thought Holy Paladins got Uther's Hammer. Oh well.
I find it funny how two of the Paladin's weapons have tues to the Titans. I quit right before Pandaland came out so if there has been any type of connection made I might have missed it.
>Frost DKs literally getting Frostmourne's remains
Nigga that's dumb.
>>316594318
But now everyone is the "leader" of the class halls, with everyone having "the" artifact.
I hate this shit where us nameless adventurers suddenly became the "heroes" and "champions", to the point where the established lore heroes are somehow made to be less important than us.
Fucking beta male pandering, especially to those who view their character as some sacred form of self and starve for regconition and acheivment within the game.
Sick.

Sylvannis' motivation is to keep herself alive. After Arthas died she tried to commit suicide and saw she was going to hell for being a shitty person, then the Valkyr saved her because she was the most powerful undead on Azeroth and needed a new master.
Everything she's done since then has been an effort to protect herself from dying. She wanted to convert new people into Forsaken and conquer Gilneas and Arathi Basin because more territory and more Forsaken means more meatshields between herself and her enemies.
It's a simple calculation: The arrival of the Burning Legion and the changing attitudes of King Wrynn means she can have peace, her odds of survival go up drastically. She'll give up the future of the Forsaken species by ending her plans to reproduce via Val'kyr magic in a second if it means permanent peace, ie Nobody wanting to kill her anymore.
I guess you can call it her "getting away with everything," but whatever.

You can get artifacts for all three spec. There's no more dual spec (you instead get all specs your class has, so druids have 4, demon hunters 2 and the other classes all 3).
You have to do the storyline to get the other ones though.

I'm glad it was cut, him dying to protect someone and redeeming himself for giving in to revenge during the siege of Shattrah. Even if it was to save Yrel the act was nice for his character.

>There's no more dual spec (you instead get all specs your class has, so druids have 4, demon hunters 2 and the other classes all 3)
Why did they have to wait so long to do this? It looks promising, but then again I thought the same thing about WoD. This will be the first expansion I don't buy day 1.
>>316598405
Because every dickhead would run around with warglaives or thunderfury
Just look at the number of Rogues wearing cursed vision of sargeras
>>316598613
Whats the issue exactly? Its free gold for 3 minutes a day.
>>316598754
Because you are literally marketing that as the main features of the expansion?
>>316598663
More like no one cares because people are unsubscrbed or pay with gold to soldier out the content drought. No one is saying its good but you have other options, like not playing the game until Legion. You make it sound like everyone is so cu.cked by Blizzard they will keep paying regardless of what they do (the huge sub loss with WoD shows otherwise)

Bear in mind rogues can't even top DPS charts with bleeds, poisons and burst damage combined. Now they can't even use all of your tools at once.
>>316598814
Im pissed he never went into one of the draenei robots. the fucking lore of those robots is draenei warriors die and put their souls into them because they want to fight more.
Why the fuck didnt we give socrethars robot to maraad? I thought for sure the blood elves would say "hey we took the dark animus from throne of thunder and used it for good. maybe you guys should take this robot powered by a draenei soul and put it to good use. if only you had two notable draenei who recently died"

Literally the only one that makes sense is Druid, and even then only because making unique beat/cat/boomchicken/flap forms would be a huge fucking undertaking. There's no reason to restrict classes other than that.

Nigger I am the biggest fucking lorefaggot you will ever meet, even in the deepest lore pit there's no reason Orcs can't be priests, Gnomes can't be paladins, Worgen can't be monks, Tauren can't be Rogues, or Draenei can't be Warlocks, all of which have full animation suites for those classes that work perfectly well and would require only a change of a 1 to a 0 to enable.
The sooner Blizzard stupids pissing around with it, the sooner all the WoW clones can stop doing it, too.

its not really a mansface. its the lack of bodyfat which protrudes certain facial bones. Its not manly, you just see more contours of her skull.

Warlords of Draenor happened to establish alternate universes interacting, so the final expansion can be a pan-dimensional raid on the Twisting Nether (which has been confirmed to be a single dimension). They can hand-pick any version of any lore character that's ever existed in any timeline to show up and team up against Sargeras.
>>316599438
You must be obsessed with men if you think she has any kind of manface.
>>316599427

>>316599020
Maeiv was literally ALWAYS a bad guy. There was never a moment in any game where she was not pure fucking evil. She left Tyrande to die horribly, stopped Kael from rescuing her, and then lied to Malfurion that Illidan has TORN HER TO PIECES to that he would then murder his own brother in revenge.
She is a huge dirtbag and the fact that Burning Crusade tried to walk that back as part of ruining Illidan's character by making him a brainless loot pinata was the worst. I can't wait to kill her.
>>316599697
There are restrictions for reasons. I thought you people hated the homogenization that had been happening since Wrath, but here you are demanding homogenization.
>>316599626
I've spent too much time around ugly women that's the problem. Sylvanas is hideous in this trailer
Vanilla, BC; WotlK and MoP were great. Cataclysm wasnt that bad and the last raid was pathetic.
But WoD
Oh God
I am so ashamed to admit I actually bought the collector edition.
There is literally nothing worth in that expansion. Not only the content is bad and scarce, they also butchered and reduced the classes with the prune. And if that wasnt enough, they introduced pay2levelboost and pay2gear.
So let me summarize this up.
You pay for an expansion that the standart version is already more expensive than the normal, so you can pay for a boost to max level skipping the entire game, so you can pay for time tokens, so you can buy gear, facebook-game buildings.
There is literally no way I am ever playing WoW again.
>>316599807
>hol up
>u tellin me
>/v/ isnt 1 person???
kill yourself retard. different people want different things.
>>316599807
What are those reasons?
Initially, it was because they couldn't finish the animations in time for Vanilla launch for a lot of classes for all of the races. Don't change history, they've repeated in every interview when asked that that was the reason.
Fluff of race choice changes nothing mechanically other than racials, which need to be fucking cut anyway since they're cancer to both PvE and PvP. Quit gibbering about MUH HOMO-JINASHUNZ, that's literally an entirely different topic.
>>316599694
>We
Oh you mean you? I'm sorry you don't like things. It's okay.
>>316599704
Actually she wasn't so bad at first when Frozen Throne happened.
At first she just wanted to cage Illidan, but after when her fellow Watchers were stuck in Sargeras's Tomb, she actually did change into a more extreme figure bent even more so on caging Illidan.
It was this part that made her quickly tumble down into Douchebagland when she left Tyrande to die and lied to Malfurion...and a did a lot of other bullshit things.
>>316599807
no, all the older players hated homogenization; all the younger ones want everything to be the same because people nowadays don't like missing out
>>316599085
PC Warlock lore is entirely down to their superior willpower allowing them to use the powers of Fel Magic without giving in to evil. NPC warlocks are controlled by the demons, PC warlocks are not because they are badass heroes.
Even if their is a cultural reason why the Draenei would not accept Warlocks and would force them to live in a shitty ghetto outside Exodar, there's no reason why Player Characters can't PLAY Warlocks. Especially since Draenei have no problem with their dead coming back at Death Knights.
>>316599902

They cut half the fucking raids and aborted every storyline the xpac was supposed to fucking lead to. They even cut the final fucking boss because Metzen got stiff to Deathwing and hated the idea of N'zoth, the actual fucking villain of the xpac, being the final boss.

She was in a place where the ends justify the means. If it weren't for her actions, Illidan would have succeeded in sinking most of the world. Everything resulted from Tyrande's sense of mercy in giving Illidan one more chance to redeem himself in righteous battle against the true foe.
>>316600274
>complaints are memes
Feel free to stop posting at any time.
Legion was tempting me to return to WoW. But I must know, is 2H Frost still a thing? This is a deciding factor.
>>316600073
She was kind of a douche from the start if you ask me. As the commander, it's her fault that her troops disobeyed Tyrande's demand to free Illidan, and then she had the gaul to be pissed when Tyrande had to fight her way in. Tyrande is High Priestess of Elune, Commander in Chief of the Sentinels, and in Malfurion's absence the political leader of their entire race, who the fuck was Maeiv to refuse her orders?
It's also pretty shitty that when Illidan proved Tyrande's faith in him was totally justified by killing Tichonderous she didn't give a fuck, but she wasn't the only guilty one on that account, so it's a lesser sin.
>>316600364
>Gnomes are not into nature, they're machinists and technology.
>Blood Elves don't care about controlling the elements and don't have a deep connection to nature.
>Humans don't care about controlling elements and have no deep connection to the sun and moon and nature.
Racial tendencies are not valid reason to deny class choices, we have Human Spriests and Belf and Gnome MW monks, should those be removed because they don't fit the racial stereotype?
>Tauren and Draenei are too large to be stealthy and have hard noisy cloven feet.
Yet they have Rangers, whose stealth is not magical. Rogue Stealth is a magical nigh-invisibility, not just crouching down and hiding in plain sight somehow. This gets confirmed literally every Blizzcon. Totally irrelevant for the size argument.
>Night Elves and Draenei would rather die than touch anything demonic.
And yet we have Nelf and Goat mages, both of which can be Fire Mages, and by the lore if you can be a Fire Mage you are literally half a step away from being a Warlock, which is why the Kirintor forbid it for so long
Mechanics exist to serve lore, Lore shouldn't exist as an excuse for the lazy animation team.
>>316600646
>is 2H Frost still a thing?
No, you can't even hold a 2-hander if you have that spec.
>>316600146
Firelands was great. It is just the last raid which was so bad. There wasnt even a goddamn cinematic for the patch.
The difference between Cataclysm and WoD is that, while Cataclysm was bad, you can always create a better expansion next time. And they did. MoP is by far my favourite expansion.
WoD has launched WoW back in time by homogeinizing every class, "pruning" read: dumbing down skill set, making the rest of the world not only more irrelevant than it already is, but actually giving you the option to skip it (by paying 60€), and even giving you the option to skip the ACTUAL content with gold. And lets not even talk about garrisons.
What I expect from Legion:
>Class halls that requires a lot of gold in order to do something
>Artifact weapon skin in the shop
>Half of the armour will be purchasable for an insulting amount of gold. The ilvl will be between heroic and mythic
>The other half will be BoE, meaning mythic raiders can sell it in the AH for gold
>The only steady way to get gold is by buying 20€ tokens
>B-but it is all optional
You are already paying a subscription.
There is literally no worse business model than this
>>316600646
Right now? Yes.
Legion's Frost relic weapon is two 1h swords, though, and while they're finally adding hiding shoulders and account-wide wardrobe lists, they are not, for some reason, allowing you to mog the dw artifact into a 2h, in what can only be described as completely retarded.
>>316600797
Fucking Blizzard.
>people actually begged to play gnome hunters
Why? You can't even see gear on them their model is so small.
>>316595153
I can't even be delusional that she will survive through Legion. Fucking hate it. I love this character. I somehow admire her personality.
>>316599704
She isn't bad guy. All she cares about is her duty, literally "all." She left Tyrande dying not because she wanted her to die but because she didn't give a fuck about her at all. Capturing Illidan and stopping him tearing apart the world, that's all matter to her.
>lied to Malfurion that Illidan has TORN HER TO PIECES
She didn't say Illidan did that.
>>316595152
>nameless hero
you were a nameless hero at level 1, then you thwarted multiple conspiracies and coup attempts, brought stability to multiple zones, Slayed an elemental lord, brought down two of the blackwing children, conquered an old god, and stopped the advances of the scourge in the Plaguelands. And that's just in Vanilla
You're far from nameless
>>316600629
Hoping this time Illidan will get his good ending.
He really suffered way too much over the course of WC3 and WoW.
>>316600661
Yeah. Furion/Malfurion also had a hand in this. Tyrande on the other hand could've put more faith into Illidan.
>>316600760
>Racial tendencies are not valid reason to deny class choices, we have Human Spriests and Belf and Gnome MW monks, should those be removed because they don't fit the racial stereotype?
Eh, I always liked the idea that Gnomes literally couldn't be Paladins or Druids because their minds just could not grasp the concept of Faith because they're too scientific. When Gnome Priests were lore'd as Doctors who use light magic the same way mages use Fire magic I thought that was quite clever. I just find it interesting as a quirk of the species that Faith is beyond them.
Same goes for Goblins, they shouldn't have Paladins or Druids either for the same reason.
>>316593623
same
>>316590469
This is the most retardest thing I've ever read.
>>316593623
Whats the reason they cannot be warlocks anyway? There is literally none since the alliance accepts DKs
>>316597716
>play warlock
>constantly fucked up by blizz
>>316601126
Not being Paladins is doubly stupid since it's been confirmed in every xpac's quests that Paladins aren't blessed, they simply have the willpower to call down the Light.
Any Goblin would be able to work that out and exploit it.
>>316600760
I don't like the idea of every race being able to do everything, at that point you might as well just remove all the other races and make everyone humans.
>>316590894
It was literally a "It's [the current year] come on!" arguement.
They worked with various races that use Arcane, they lost the "we must prevent magic from being use" game eons ago.
Them becoming mages isn't any more lore breaking than them joining the alliance in the first place.
>>316600629
To be fair, if I were in Illidan's shoes I probably would have thought that sinking half the planet was a preferable option to the Lich King rising given what had happened with the Scourge the first time. He was trying to do the right thing, even if there was a self-serving aspect to his motives.
Its easy to look back now and say Illidan would have ruined the world, but at the time it would have been more the reasonable to assume the Lich King was literally unstoppable if he became whole.
>>316601126
TTRPGs with much more expansive lore than Warcraft don't even restrict class/race combinations
>>316601016
You're a respected but nameless member of a very effective force in the Alliance/Horde. This was always the case. You were never THE guy to slay Ragnaros, or THE guy to kill Kel'thuzad. You were always part of a team or assisted a major lore figure. The closest you ever came to personal notoriety was freeing Teron Gorefriend.
Now suddenly we're following the trend of every other modern video game, where players are awarded a power fantasy. Now you get to be THE guy with Ashbringer! Now you get to be THE guy to kill Gul'dan and stop the Legion! This wouldn't be so bad if this was a single player game, but it's not; it's an MMO. For every Ashbringer and major lorebringer you earn there's another fifty thousand people who did the same thing, and your suspension of disbelief is shattered.
And while you might say "who cares? That isn't important," the fact of the matter is it's very important. When you enjoyed vanilla or Burning Crusade, you weren't enjoying it because you were thinking to yourself you'd get to be the big important guy who does everything. You wanted to explore the world, discover things, find cool stuff and basically enjoy the game as if it were an actual RPG. The game's plot is ruined due to this "YOU ARE THE HERO" bullshit and it's the reason everyone fixates so much on the more technical aspects of the game, like gear and whether or not the expansion has X quantity of content.
>>316590097
>Draenei Warlock
That's literally a demon, anon.
>>316601468
More like a Eredar.
>>316600127
I thought lore wise Warlocks were not accepted and were hated and that's why their trainers were hidden.
And that mostly warlocks are monstrous awful people and in actual society in the lore are not tolerated.
>>316601243
Religion m8
Humans worship the light as their official faith but not many are faithful when theres all that magic around.
But Draenei lost 90% of their race to demonic magic, it
's a pretty great sin to touch the stuff. Gotta remember the Naaru know more about the Light and Dark bullshit than anyone. It's even implied the reason the legion is bad is because they're tipping the scales and making the void stronger.
The alliance also doesn't accept warlocks like the horde, if you're playing a Warlock, lore wise you're pretending to be mage and then your commander looks the other way when you're doing raids.
>>316601526
Draenei are Eredar already.

If there's one thing I love in WoW its the fact that they don't half-ass their lore on Divine magic not having any kind of objective morality. I love that if you break down all the hints about how they work, Paladins are basically Warlocks and Naaru are basically Demons.

Who said I was tired of Blizzard shitting on the lore? I don't really care what they do with it anymore, I'm passed the point of caring.
Besides, Draenei Warlocks make sense. Lorewise they are shunned and cannot have their demons out in public, but game-wise you can just put the Draenei Warlock trainer somewhere secluded in the Exodar, throw in some shit about their powers being shunned and needing to be kept secret, and ta-da, Draenei warlocks.

the comedy of it all is that yes, it's true that it's a bullshit power fantasy, but "gamers" are absolutely enamored with individualism and the exaltation of the particular in video games. they LOVE being singled out and being told how incredible they are and how much they contribute to a prescripted universe written to bend over backwards in order to make your experience as comfortable and consistent as possible. this is why video games, regardless of their ideological leaning, are such infantilizing nightmares, they're explicitly designed to cater. just take a look at the slew of gratifying machines called AAA titles in the past couple of years. so you can say it sucks and people can agree with you, but they'll go right out and buy Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 and enjoy playing characters designed so it's almost literally impossible to suffer any sort of significant setback or, god forbid, obstacle that would prevent character development until you git gud.

>>316601542
Lore-wise for the Horde: the Trolls don't care, the Goblins don't care, the Forsaken don't care, the Blood Elves stopped caring because Warlock magic saved their race from extinction, and the Orcs kind of care but Thrall gave Warlocks amnesty during the WC3/WoW timeskip so they could prove they could be a positive force in the Horde, and given that Garrosh committing a Warlock Holocaust was a plot point I'd say by now they've earned their place as valued members of Horde society. Only the Tauren seem to not really be down with demonic magic for good.
Alliance wise, the Gnomes don't care because Magic Is Science, the Dwarves used to care but now that the Dark Irons have been reintegrated into mainstream Dwarven society that stigma is being killed by force, and the Worgen don't care for reasons that aren't really addressed but they seem to have gotten cool with it far in advance of their starting area. If I had to guess I'd say they probably were forced to accept Warlock's among them to help survive the Civil War that happened while they were behind Greymane's Wall.
The only ones who have serious problems with Warlocks among them are Nelves, Draenei and Stormwind Humans, and it seems like the Stormwind Humans are starting to give up that stigma since openly Warlock NPCs have appeared among the Alliance military several times without feigning Magedom. Also a Warlock group was invited to openly take part in the Argent Tournament, which was a pretty big sign of faith I think even if it went... poorly.
>>316602107
Nah, they'll do some weird jewy form of it in yet another bout of caving to what the community has been asking for forever.
It'll be like they have their own distinct subscriber fees or something because of "so much effort required to keep the content maintained for such a small demand." At the same time, though, they'll really overkill it with account bound unique pets, mounts, titles, transmog gear, and a meta achievement that requires stuff to be done in each expansion server in order to unlock the golden flying jew mount.
Then they'll make it to where you can get whatever the currency of the moment is from that content but claim it's totally optional and you don't have to do it even though it's one more way to stay competitive.

>Fallout 4
See, part of what made New Vegas so good was that you really weren't special. You could be any character you wanted and the only required elements were "you got a job as a mailman one time" and agency.
Now in Fallout 4 you absolutely must be Commander Sheppard who had a wife and child and was frozen and then woke up and has an asparagus allergy and is voiced by Nolan North or whatever generic fuck they shoveled money into. It's not even a roleplaying game at this point because, just like Skyrim, you can only play one role: the guy destined to do everything.
>>316602458

You can or you can't. You can ignore or do whatever you want, it's up to you. You can play the most fantastic or mundane motherfucker in the world, the only unifying factor being you somehow got your hands on an important plot point.
That's an RPG. Being a designated specific character who is guaranteed to do A, B, C and D is not.

how long till legion hits?will they release any new content till legion?
>>316604103
In Warcraft 1 she literally was half-orc half-human. They retconned it years later because they realized that plothole you are whining about now. They kept it consistent by saying Gul'dan TOLD her she was half-human as part of her indoctrination. She believes she IS half-human. She'll only discover she's half-Draenei many years later, so her actors SHOULD be saying she's half-human and everything in the movie should say that also.

Summer 2016, by September according to Blizz
WoTLKfags, what was it like when that expansion came out? Were there Deathknights EVERYWHERE?
I want to know what to expect when Legion comes out.
>>316599085
>>316600127
>>316601542
Draenei can already be Death Knights, which is just as bad if not arguably worse than being a Warlock, because they're literally raised corpses that could go into a blood frenzy if they don't cause pain all the time.
>>316604272
They're saying September.
>>316605051
You're forgetting that the Draenei Death Knights didn't choose to be Death Knights, same as with all undead raised by the Lich King.
>>316604974
>Were there Deathknights EVERYWHERE?
It was tough shit if you were trying to catch up leveling because outland consisted of 90% deathknights lvling as well as doing dungeons.
>>316605051
Well, that's not by choice like Warlocks. They're just making the best of a really bad situation.

Other than that, no. Just the upcoming patch that adds valor and valor item upgrades back in, and adds cata timewalking dungeons and some WotLK dungeons to timewalk.
>>316604974
Yeah. Monks were, and are, CONSIDERABLY more rare. Probably because they started at level 1.
DHs will be so fucking common you will want to vomit.
>>316604974
I know it was shitty for me as a healer because DK tanks were bad.
So I dodged WoD. Few questions.

>If neither above are true, should I go level my level 60 shaman I haven't played since vanilla?
>>316601949
Demon hunters are the only fan demanded thing. Maybe flying as well but removing holes in the map are too expensive for blizzard so we wont see that in forever.
>>316604974
I rolled a DK right when Wrath came out. While leveling, things were completely insane, but the class distribution evened out at max level.
After leaving the starting zone I remember dungeon groups were hilarious, because everyone could self heal, DPS and tank. Dueling other DKs in Hellfire Peninsula was pretty great too.
>>316606709
How would anyone know what is fun for you?
>>316606865
I am going to take that as all of them sucking.
>>316606709
Don't bother with them until Legion, because all the classes and specs are getting major changes.
>>316606716
people have begged for being able to hide shoulders since forever and blizzard said "nah, our artists work too hard on them so you have to look at them."
gnome hunters have been requested but met with the response of "no, because lore" which makes no sense.
people have wanted the legion back since it left.
>>316599085
what do you mean by "you people"?
>>316604974
a lot when leveling, not that many at max level
>>316606709
>DK
Not sure if you remember it, but Cataclysm fucked their rune recharge system beyond repair. Their recent Legion class preview confirmed it's all been completely scrapped, so you wouldn't have that to worry about. imo DKs are shaping up to be pretty great with the other changes. They're absolutely godawful boring in their current WoD form, though.
>Shaman
In Legion, Resto and Enh are looking pretty simplistic with a lot of press X button to heal/damage for Y amount, with not a lot of meaningful interaction between skills. Ele seems godawful as usual. As far as I know, avoid this class.

>>316608613
It really is hilarious, the team has been in shambles since mid-2013. If I had to guess, Activision-Blizzard thought about putting more people on in early WoD development, then pulled them all off to make Overwatch or whatever the fuck.
I mean, they said they more than doubled their team during WoD's early development, and then the expansion was the most deprived turd in the history of the game. It must just be a total joke to them at this point, I just can't understand how they STILL manage to get away with it.

Blizzard have always gotten super defensive about everything.
The worst is the times in the past when people from the community point out a feature that would be cool to add and one of the Blizz employees responded with something that was basically "Unfortunately with the current technology we wouldn't be able to blah blah blah"
And then when enough people bitched about it, they finally made it work "somehow."
It's fucking bullshit and their entire team is a bunch of pussies.
>>316609665
I have always found this to be absolutely mindblowing. I mean, wtf is going on in their offices?
I mean, even though they are getting touchups and mechanic changes, it's freaking sad that they are mining old content to supplement like five original dungeons at launch these days.
Legion will probably feature one original dungeon and then ICC broken up into wings as all of the five man content at this point.

They took a shit load of things from warhammer reckoning and countless mmo that have failed over the years.
Goddamn I really hate the "you are the big lore hero" angle they're insisting on. Why even play an MMO if you have to pretend the other players don't exist? I can understand the player being a strong and respected hero who accomplishes big things, but only when it's in conjunction with similar nameless heroes. The whole "no, you are the chosen one and the ashbringer and the in-lore leader of your class, don't mind those 10,000 other paladins with your unique legendary sword" shit is just plain insulting.

>>316609665
Blizzard hasn't made an expansion for WoW since WotLK. Cataclysm and onward have been re-packagings of WoW, removing and altering it to make it seem like a new product and making all old content completely irrelevant in the process.
It's a workaround to making a new full priced game but doing half the world, like the CoD games re-use assets so do Blizzard games.
They say it's an expansion, but they are giving you the old ones for free and giving out level boosts because what WoW used to be or what it had doesn't matter, all Blizzard cares about is what's new. Stormwind is still on fire because Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor only matter when they are promoting the new expansion, otherwise it's all just recycled bullshit everybody has done already.
Seriously don't be fooled. Nobody has played WoW since WotLK, it's been Cata, MoP, WoD and Legion the "MMO" game with a sub-fee. It's Blizzard abusing it's fanbase and milking them for money and nothing else. There's absolutely no love in WoW, SC2 or D3 anymore.

>>316598887

I wonder if the legendary bow from Sunwell can be used for transmog.

>>316615580
Make a Fury Warrior, and make them only use fist weapons. Give them the agility fist heirlooms, enchant them with elemental force, and watch everything die in seconds (even dungeon mobs) until you hit Pandaria. From then on out, feel free to ditch them for actual STR looms or whatever the fuck until you hit 90, which at that point, you're unable to use fist weapons completely.
Enjoy getting mad and punching things better than Monks do.
>>316616425
all rotations are disgustingly simple now, regardless of class. The more engaging classes are casters that have to micro/multi dot. (so basically just warlock)
all you need to ask yourself is, how much fun do I find charge?
If pressing charge is fun for you, then play a WoW warrior.
>>316616790
Adding onto this, before someone goes
>agility
>fury warrior
The stat squish makes the stats on the weapons pointless prior to MoP's level. It's all about weapon damage itself, and heirlooms are going to outperform any and every possible weapon you can get per their usual level, and with Elemental Force you'll be doing a ton of damage. It isn't until WoD honestly where the railroading starts and the ride ends.

After spending 8-ish years ruthlessly scrubbing the game of all unique class features? Are you going to give back the quests for shaman totems, or druid forms? No, because apparently everything outside the latest expansion continent may as well be deleted.
>>316614034
>>316613004
Honestly, even if you don't like FFXIV, the difference between the sheer amount of effort they put in to the flavour and polish of the game vs the amount of effort Blizzard puts in is disgusting.
Blizzard: We can't do class quests anymore because it's too much effort
>FFXIV has class quests every 5 levels (every 2 after 50) complete with cutscenes and storylines
Blizzard: Casters never use their weapons because it's too much work to make new animations
>Every ability in FFXIV has its own animation, including spells, and casters actually hold and use their weapons in combat
>>316617083
Honestly you could probably go through the entirety of 1-90 completely naked save for the weapons, and still get by.
>>316616350
Which poster do you think you're replying to? I never said shit about gnomes. Gnome Priests and Gnome Monks are also retarded.
>>316617083
I doubt that 30% damage taken debuff will stay. Healers will hate it and lots of mechanics are literally designed to ALMOST kill people. 30% more damage to fury warriors simply can't work.

Indeed, but it speaks to their disconnect with their own design philosophies.
>>316617279
>We're gonna bring back class fantasy in Legion!
oh damn a rogue ability makes a gun sound i guess the game is completely unhomogenized now

Great. Just got 3.1 which brought all kinds of new content.

Also Diadem is probably the most cozy thing in the world.

It's arguably the second biggest MMO on the market. Not saying that other MMOs aren't good games, but when it comes to population Guild Wars 2 has the most evidence for having the second biggest playerbase. Behind only WoW.

Well, from a flavor standpoint, it makes sense, just like seal of blood used to make sense. But mechanically it can't work. I have a feeling the class design team isn't communicating with the actual content designers as much as they should.
I mean, for all we know, the first passive your artifact gets removes the damage debuff penalty. But for now, its just not feasible. Even in WoD where abilities were literally designed to pick players down instead of 90% of everyone's health every hit, that kind of debuff wouldn't work.

THE DANKEST, FRESHEST, THINK TANK AT IRVINE DID IT AGAIN, THIS IS A FUCKING DISASTER AND NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT. THERE'S LITERALLY 0 REASON FOR SURVIVAL HUNTERS IN RAIDS. NONE.

>not giving in to evil
I don't know m8 but I think stealing and trapping someones soul then burning it into nothingness, thus being prevented to go to the afterlife, in a world where multiple afterlives are confirmed to exist, is pretty fucking evil. Even that random thug or wild beast that attacked you doesn't deserve that

Are we going to have a plotline with a villain that invades different alternate dimensions to obtain multiple copies of powerful artifacts?
