World of Whorecraft: Battle for Asseroth

[Hobo Elf]

In more terrible news, YouTube has footage from the latest Legion alpha patch. Garrison mission tables are back in the class order hall. Only difference is that followers are renamed to champions and ships are renamed to armies.

It's official. They are actively trying to kill WoW.

what the fuck is that minigame shit lmao

looks like some browser game shit

 

[Ulminati]

It gets better. Mythics scale to your level.

Mythic+ 5mans sound great to me. Just wish speed running wasn't such a factor. Would prefer enrages on individual packs/bosses to be the thing to stop you from using cheesy 3-tank 2-healer groups or whatever, then just have being able to clear it get you to the next stage. Going in knowing a DC or one person needing to AFK could ruin it sucks.

 

[Scroo]

What the fuck are they doing didn't they say they listened to the players this time

 

[hivemind]

so the retards who will actually pay for this will play over the same content over and over again with different modifiers

World of Diablo for real

They listened, then went "fuck those losers" and made Diablo

 

[Scroo]

Thank god I totally didn't preorder the expac already

Won't make any difference to your

I like how "more trash mobs!" is one of the difficulty modifiers. It's like they've tunneled straight to the core of what players doing 5mans really want

 

[Cromwell]

The Garrisons went away?

That was a joke, of course I already bought it

Until the group of unhappy is smaller than the group of whateva/happy Blizz wont do anything. But with the Nostalrius backlash and those changes in Legion ... well i dont know Blizz

 

[Xor]

What the fuck has Blizzard done to this game.

 

[Caim]

Wouldn't be surprised if they went with New Game+ in an expansion or two.

Are you saying they made WoW fun?

As opposed to playing same content over and over with no modifiers?
For a game with 'tons of issues" you lot sure find retarded things to complain about, including positive changes.

Also, way to be ignorant like the guy making the video, the core of the system is from PoE not D3.

Setting your own challenge level is fine, City of Heroes did it around 2004.

That said, using the challenge mode ruleset as a baseline would be better.. ensuring relevance of content during the lifetime of at least the xpac, requiring no further tweaks, and removing the chance that some stupid overpowered piece of gear will destroy the challenge. That is, unless blizz fucks something up-- oh nevermind then, carry on!

They've got a tag team going on in here.

 

[Veelq]

About those features from D3 or PoE, it doesnt matter - what matters is that those are ARPGs with a focus on solo gameplay ( you can party but game doesnt support in any way but allowing it ). WoW is an MMORPG that should be focused on social gameplay.

 

[Ulminati]

The Garrisons went away?

Nope. They're pretty much universally reviled by the players, which is why it is funny they are being brought back as a mandatory part of the levelling process.

People thought we'd be back in Dalaran with other players doing the whole mmo thing. Instead we'll all be in our instanced "command room" or whatever they'll call it in our class instance. Playing a Facebook game while waiting for our instanced 15-minute Diablo 5man corridor to pop. Then we'll run through the same corridor for the 50th time with 4 strangers. In silence, because talking is unnecessary and delays everyone from getting their token purple and going back to their Facebook game.

At least when you segment everyone away in tiny instances, you can keep the bandwidth requirements at a minimum, maximising the amount of marrow they can suck or of the bones of wows corpse. Abandon all hopw, ye who d1p.

This is the point where I would have said: "At least we still have Nostalrius".

On one hand, daily quests are a fucking blight on the face of MMOdom, and I welcome any attempt to eradicate them. On the other hand, uh, isn't this just a simplified copy of GW2 world events? Cutting-edge design work there, doods.
