WoW is in the best state it's been in since Wrath.

The devs are listening to the playerbase and banned raidtranny addons. Woke is dead. WoW is healing.

I will never forget the hilarious scene where Tyrande gets war humansplained to her by the King of Stormwind, a human whos most reputable feat is being imprisoned by bandits and being a bumfuck gladiator while his kingdom is saved by random adventurers.

>>713717975 (OP)
I think an underappreciated element of the 'WoW is back' narrative is that it genuinely speaks to the staggering ability of the original WoW devs

they created such an addictive product that people have clung to it for like 15 years of utter dogshit quality, paying real money every single month, shilling out for 30 dollar store mounts, buying every expansion on release no matter how dogshit the previous one, and during all of this period the aesthetics, themes, and narrative style of the IP has reached a point where it no longer even remotely resembles what it was when they fell in love with it. it is absolutely fucking insane to watch from the outside.

I don't understand how anyone, literally even a single person, could drum up any desire to play WoW in 2025. The game has been so shit for so long and Blizzard in general has been so blatantly obviously garbage I really struggle to believe that anyone is still buying their trash.

>>713723175
Anon the whole vanilla undead starting zone has multiple references to the fact that they cannot feel things like sympathy anymore. There's some apothecary or some such in Brill that goes on about it at length.

>>713723209
you see, 90 dollars is a steal because 5 million in game gold has more value than 90 dollars

>>713723352
can i see these multiple references?

>>713723209
Blizzard won.

>>713723062
a better question is how Blizzard ever gaslit themselves into believing their games were loved because of their stories when their golden age games were beloved because of their gameplay, battle.net having huge populations of players and being free to access, and the tons of amazing community made custom maps

I loved Brood War and D2 and War3 but replaying the games as an adult really hammers home how dogshit the actual stories and characters are in a vacuum, they are just really fun games with really fun atmospheres and aesthetics

>>713723412
Sure, just download wow classic and make a horde character. Easy. If you want to be spoonfed you can go suck a dick and ask the guy for it.

I think these creators don't understand that people care more about the game they're covering than themselves, similar to how TF2 youtubers who try to reach outside of that space just faceplant.

>>713723062
in all fairness, the elves started that war with the orcs because cenarius told them to because they chopped down a few trees

also the elves summoned the burning legion the first time
and started shit with the trolls...

like the elves unironically instigated literally everything in warcraft for no good reason

>>713723698
Most likely not, no.

>hey everyone metzen is back!
>wow is still literally gay

>>713723660
No anon, I won't. There's a difference you fail to appreciate because instead of earnestly inquiring you're just looking for excuses to dismiss something you dislike.

I hope you grow up one day and figure out that's not how the world works.

>>713723826
>in all fairness, the elves started that war with the orcs because cenarius told them to because they chopped down a few trees
"A few trees"? Anon a band of warmongering demon-blood infested orcs invaded the forest and started clearcutting and attacking anything that moved (wisps in the games)

I was also referring to after the events of warcraft 3, where the orcs decided it was a good idea to just go and invade Night Elf lands AGAIN.
>like the elves unironically instigated literally everything in warcraft for no good reason
Yea, elves are second only to orcs on levels of dindu faggotry. Warcraft elves a shit.

>>713717975 (OP)
It's both good and bad, but the bad absolutely outweighs the good.

Redpill me on Tauren
I'm trying to find dirt on them but the most I can find is "night elves and tauren used to be besties until the tauren joined the horde." Did they really make the perfect softboy hippie pacifist faction and put it on the same team as fel worshipping orcs and undead?

>>713722825

>>713724238
>"night elves and tauren used to be besties until the tauren joined the horde
Literally just an asspull to allow tauren to be druids for faction balance. Night Elves didn't give two shits about anyone.

>>713724238
Sure. They're nomads. That sounds fun and peaceful until you realise what it actually means: A war band of big bull people taking your natural resources for themselves and turning any attempt at refusing them into paste under their totems. Rather than cultivate land of their own they roamed and took whatever they wanted. When they were fairly defeated by the rightful owners of the lands they invaded a bunch of green aliens came from nowhere and helped them slaughter the natives.

>>713717975 (OP)
>implying wrath was good
Anon, it's literally when Activision came in and destroyed the fucking game, when GMs were being shit out to indians and other 3rd world countries, when the green posteres were officially given authority to put in ban requests for users they disliked on forums

The fuck you mean 'best state since wrath'

>>713717975 (OP)
Bro I see this shill thread every day on the week, it's blatant shilling now. You have to be more creative.

>>713717975 (OP)
On the one hand, raid addons are pure fucking cancer.
On the other hand, the only reason I had to still play WoW, RP, is now impossible.

If they are actually blocking all addons, this will finally ACTUALLY kill the game. 90% of the tiny playerbase that's left is just RPers.

>>713723848
>Metzen is going to save us from the poz and make WoW based and redpilled and for right-wing chuds again!
Meanwhile, Chris Metzen, over a decade ago:
>"We've heard our female employees," he said. "And my daughter tools me out about it. She saw a World of Warcraft cinematic of the Dragon Aspects, and my daughter was like, 'Why are they all in swimsuits?' And I was like, 'I don't know. I don't know anymore."

Tauren are regularly depicted as having horse penises in pornography, but the reality is that they were all being raped with horse penises until Thrall and Cairne linked up after Thrall stopped the brutal gangrape of the Tauren Kervahn Nashoof

No anon, no amount of debasing yourself with nonsense will help. Crouching down and flapping your arms going "cluck cluck, chicken" isn't going to work either. As horrific of a prospect it might be for a /v/ poster, you will actually just have to play the game.

Over a decade late for that anon. The lore was dead and burried with WotLK. I can point to any number of incredibly unforgivable lore breaks but frankly, I'll just refer to the fact that Muradin Bronzebeard lives.

They're prepping the game for console release, why is this being celebrated?

As long as the wow token exists and blizzard refuse to take adequate countermeasures vs bots and RMT wow will continue to be a dogshit MMO.

Wow has other awful things about it, but this is the worst thing by far.

It's kind of funny, but he will always be the little bitch that abandoned his people to play on an alien planet with strangers only to fuck everything up on a cosmic scale, to then be so fucking salty about it he betrays his people again to wage a pointless war against the people he got BTFO by.

Biggest fucking loser in the setting, and it's not even close.

>>713726090
I mean it probably unironically is the only thing keeping wow still afloat, from a business perspective they will never get rid of it.

>>713725993
The DEI bucks are too tasty for companies to not exploit. They understand there is a delicate balance to pandering to DEI for DEI monies from Blackrock and Vanguard or whatever and doing it "just enough" to both get the money and not kill the game/s.

>>713725370
torghast was fine as something they just made to run around in and try out, just making it something you needed to run back-to-back 4 times a week (per char) for the first 4-8 weeks of a patch to upgrade your legendaries was awful
once a week with a longer run would have been a hell of a lot better, one of those things where the systems/rewards team had absolutely no idea what they were doing putting X where and it ended up poorly integrated with the game as a whole

for posterity's sake though, Hamlet and all the rest of the systems team guys (responsible for legiondaries 1.0, artifact power 1.0 [where ap was something to straight grind instead of a mid-tier power boost], azerite gear, and covenants 1.0) got poached to riot during dragonflight development so now they're all working vaporware no one will ever have to play and getting paid 2x as much as blizz was paying them.

the one actually kind of hard mode run version they added was one of very few challenging solo experiences they've done in wow
also tons of classes just had straight up dogshit torghast bonuses to the point it made it un-fun like priest.

I actually like Torghast more than Delves. Delves should be more like Torghast with the multiple randomly generated floors and mob/boss combinations. My brain has nearly fucking melted from boredom with Delves, and I hate that the Rival system implies that some random Goblin can show up and actually be a huge threat to a supposedly powerful character.

>>713726205

I think pretty much every modern MMO caters to paypiggies so I refuse to touch the genre outside of boomercore private servers for old mmos.

face it: retail wow is the only mmo worth playing

>>713729223

finally, playable centaurs

>>713729223
classic+ is a cope

He's going to grovel and apologize for being a chud.

>>713729223
Probably wont do that well with consoles as it will play like utter dogshit. While I dont know personally how well xiv handles on a console I do know it is a console game while wow is not.

>>713717975 (OP)
why are there 24/7 threads about how WOW IS BACK in the last week
why are blizzard suddenly paying so many shills

>>713729223
Blizzard's ego won't be able to handle if Classic+ is more populated than retail. Also if you have any hope of it being good you're insane, they'll ruin it within a couple years like everything else at Blizzard.

>>713729594
xiv is shitting itself and dying so its players make these troll threads about wow to cope

>>713729594
patch 10.2 on the PTR (which looks to be a low-effort flop)
announcement that there's gonna be Midnight (new expansion) info at gamescom, so have to drum up (astroturf) hype for that too

>>713729474
Yeah the surveys they've been sending out as well as confirmation from the dev team they're working on a new classic project is cope.

>>713729568
Classic doesn't exactly have complicated rotations, hell even sod didn't. They're also not just adding that 1 button rotation helper in Retail for no reason.
There's a lot you can do with a controller when you use the triggers as modifiers.

>>713729774
the survey was fake

>Blizzard's ego won't be able to handle if Classic+ is more populated than retail
Who cares about the retail devs lol. Blizzard already lost after saying nobody wants classic then classic and phase 1 sod bringing back the most subs it's ever had.

>they'll ruin it within a couple years like everything else at Blizzard.
Yes this version will be eventually ruined but the first few months ganking console players will make it all worth it.

>>713730191
>Blizzard already lost after saying nobody wants classic then classic and phase 1 sod bringing back the most subs it's ever had
retard, sod at its peak had like 25% of the players retail had at the time

>>713730270
so it had like 250k players?

>>713729685
Why are you so obsessed with that game? Holy fuck

>>713730317
retail has 4-5m subs

>played at launch
>it's alright
>come back to play yesterday
>overwhelmed by the amount of shit thrown at me I have to do
happens every xpack

>>713730270
Settle down Retoilet. Classic literally carried your shitty DEI slop and SoD brought insane numbers. Linking subs let Retoilets pretend it was their doing but everyone knows Classic was the draw that saved the game.

>>713730431
There's no way it's that high still.

how

I sincerely wish for the poor retards still playing this to someday manage to have a moment of clarity and see what it is they're actually paying for. I don't understand how you can live with yourself playing a mockery of something you used to like. One which actively hates you for once enjoying things that are now deemed problematic and inappropriate.

>>713730641
no, it didn't

>>713730925
I don't understand how anyone can call for the MMORPG scam anymore. They still have to buy full priced expansions, every MMO is swamped with a cash shop and other egregious shit. You get drip fed content every few months that lasts a day at best.

What the fuck are people paying for?

>>713730808

Funny how the line starts going up as soon as sod released. Also ignoring classic doubling the sub count.

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Im gonna press X on that one chief. You're telling me in 2k20+ that more people subbed than in wotlk? lol, lmao even

>>713731256
god SoD part 1 was so fucking good. priest felt complete and fun even at 25, excellent RP in the meditations, the rune quests were fun, darnassus being the hub for the first time in its history, getting to use low level consumables for once, all the bosses in BFD felt fun to do

So the current players unironically LIKE all the tranny, pedophile faggot pride shit, psychotic virtue signalling, sweetbaby DEI filth, constant male character emasculating and 99% of the main cast being slaykween girlbosses and a mini?

wowies are so deluded they genuinely think wow ever reached the sub zenith of late tbc/mid wotlk again after when they'd be lucky to reach half that with the 10 versions of WoW concurrently available put together.

I rolled my eye so fucking hard when he said this that they nearly fell out of my head.

The pandering is so on the nose sometimes it's out of this world, it's true when they say smart writing and only be as smart as the person/people writing it. This whole patch shows the writing team is still as retarded as ever.

Warcraft now suffers from flanderization and a desperate need to appear hip with current trends.

>>713731951
The current players are all tranny millenials, homosexuals, and the remaining dregs of society. Who else has a mind that is muddled enough to spend $600+ on a Brutosaur mount?

>>713736676
It's not like things got better since Shadowlands.
And they haven't even tried to decanonize Shadowlands either. In fact, they're cramming Shadowlands slop into the next patch.

>>713718261
I haven't played wow in 13 years but if that title isn't clickbait, then that's great news. I remember everything went to shit when gearscore and DBM became mandatory to play the game.

>>713736676
This. It cannot be overstated how fucking awful Shadowlands was for nearly every aspect of the game.

>>713736994
they're basically removing addons but baking all the popular addons into the base game
that includes, I shit you not, one button rotation mode.
they're putting the mong mode addon into the base game as an official "accessibility toggle"

>>713736994
Indeed. I've been thinking add-ons were lame since TBC.

>>713736742
Well shit my brother is going to fucking hate this
He's been playing this shit since Vanilla

>>713731951
Surprise anon. Not only are troons, groomers, and all other types of leftist retards the only ones still left working at blizzard. They are also the only types of people who still play the game.

People need to accept that anything past wrath (and even some stuff pre-wrath) may as well be some retards fanfiction that isn't cannon. They also need to remember that no matter how many jeets blizzard pays to shill the new expansion that is "totally gonna fix everything this time guys, just trust us." It will never get better. Warcraft is dead and has been dead for years, if anyone want's to relive better times they should just accept the private server pill. (Or better yet, make their own server with Azerothcore.)

>>713737364

>>713737692

You know he's a game developer? Because as a game developer he understand thing betters because he's developing a game. You can even "win" concept arm for his upcoming game that he's developing. So be sure to watch the ad that takes up 1/3 of the video to support him as he continues to develop his game. Thank god we have a game developer like him who can look a the choices Blizzard is making to let us know if it's going to ruin or save WoW.

>>713737692
His shit has also inspired other """"""content creators""""""" (read: parasites) to do the same.

>>713737364
for a while, I would also have counted the two guys who had hidden in a cleaning supply closet behind a vending machine keeping D3 seasons running. They were there for a surprisingly long time, tuning stuff and inventing new seasonal mechanics, sometimes adding new uniques. All for a game that was not earning money and had no ongoing monetisation.

They pulled them out once D4 launched, but I was genuinely surprised D3 got new seasons being made for that length of time not that I played, I swore off giving blizz any of my time or money in 2019

>>713737470
You don't like the truth, why?
You'd save some money if you accepted it, at least.

>>713731951

I'm not an insecure schizo so seeing a rainbow in june doesn't throw me into a psychotic episode and I do not give a shit about webstore garbage that has nothing to do with the game.

What I have a problem with is stuff like DF where literally half the characters were gay and their writing felt incredibly forced and artificial. And that stuff is gone, Undermine's story is the most genuine the game has felt in years and everyone crying REE IS THAT A BLACK WOMAN?!?!?! hasn't actually played the game because she just exists in one zone and isn't important to the grander narrative and nothing about her really even feels like it's beating you over the head anyways like almost everything in DF did

>>713728710
Basically they require 10x the effort of the other melee, have serious QoL issues with how the game is played right now (tank pulled more mobs before you finished killing the ones you're on, so you couldn't restealth? Your DPS is fucked.), huge issues with their rotations being RNG combined with bad animations, Vanish becoming a mandatory DPS cooldown for every spec instead of just Sub, inarguably the WORST and least interesting hero talents in their game, they are just utter, complete trash in every way. It's surprising they have the % they have left, easily the worst class in the game to play by far. TWW in general has absolutely shit class balance and feel though so it's not like it will change any time soon. About the only class spec happy in this expansion is Ret Paladin.

You're incapable of discerning between things that do and don't affect you and that's where your problem lies.

Lore was good from vanilla to wotlk (because it was the logical conclusion to WC3+exp). From then, I don't give a fuck about expansion metanarrative, but some of the zones have interesting stories and quests, from WoD onwards, each zone main questline always ties to the overall expansion story.

latest patch was the writer's seething about white people and trump supporters through a very heavy handed and un-nuanced """story""". they put the most blatant reference to a modern thing in a fantasy setting, something made for escapism and story telling is being morphed into the weakest kind of person's political affirmation simulator. it's insane and even more insane that this is just seen as more of the same propaganda we've been getting fed for the past few years.
latest expansion is littered with even more heavy handed nonsense that the writers' believe along with them doubling down on a dei checklist mary sue that they get emotional over when she's criticized
they haven't re added any of the minor content they removed during the sexual assault case like the /spit emote, quests named over a silly dick joke, dialogue about an evil forsaken lobotomizing a human and planning to breed more of them for slavery, paintings of characters who aren't fully clothed, or garrosh calling sylvanas a bitch. literal babyification of something that's suitable for thirteen year olds.
they still have that guy who outright stated he refuses to hire white men into blizzard
several of the higher ups are former fbi, this entire company founded for a now corporatized hobby was hollowed out to push a political agenda that's only getting worse and more obvious as the years go by
one of the OG creators came back but he's fully cucked now. he won't fix a thing, he truly believes his past work was offensive, problematic, "icky", and whatever else pea brained idiots say these days. he takes writing advice from his daughter and bends over backwards for the even shittier hacks to "allow their voices be heard in the story telling" which created the most incoherent and jumbled mess of an expansion we've ever had.
it's more stable than the shadowlands and BFA period but easily worse in the inner workings than ever before.

old hands being given cushy jobs in a field that takes in more and more people who know nothing about it each day? that and maybe they wanted people who had experience in political pushing and manipulation or something along the lines of government tomfoolery? they're not there to make games either way, they're doing some sneaky shit that has the side effect of making our games garbage. their end goal could be total public division through emotional politics or maybe it's just plain old greed since outrage and appealing to political beliefs rakes in dough from people who don't even care about the product but just for appearances and "getting back" at the other side. we're in the early stages of setting up various forms of business for political shenanigans, where do you think the dei bucks come from or why companies are being given it for pandering and manipulation? old government guys are there for doing what they know how to do, could've been for a soup can company or a cartoon company if it were owned by a powerhouse like Microsoft. gaming doesn't matter, just the fact it's one of many outlets to further their agenda and create faster revenue for the company.

its still m plus and raid focused, delves are just mini torghast levels fun during launch when it wasn't tuned downward and you had nothing better to do - just chilling in there with other people in general shit posting.

The open world is actually more dead than in Dragonflight, and the terrain is very uninteresting except for the spider zone. Also, it's time to admit that super charged flying mounts available from the beginning is a mistake, no player can recall a single meaningful detail from these zones because you just basically instantly transport to wherever you want to go.

Fairly interesting they're getting rid of addons. Most players just download them and don't even use them to their full extent. It's like background noise. So, losing them isn't entirely an issue unless they lie about the whole "we'll make encounters that won't rely on weakauras." They've had a pretty big hardon for introducing mechanics that require coordination with a tight time constraint. Especially ones involving RNG. I hope they realize certain mythic designs just won't be possible for guilds outside the top 400 without just severely gimping mechanics towards the end of the patch (like they always do but more excessive somehow). Of course they're not targeting any of the addons involving Auction House manipulation or crafting/gathering stuff. Can't hurt the bot population of course.

Blizzard hasn't once been able to deliver on their promises. There's always a caveat, always something they miss or need to improve, that people see issue with the moment it's announced, only for an improvement to happen a year later or in the next xpac. Like by sheer luck all classes are pretty competitive this tier, but that's also only considering raid as even if every spec can reach the upper echelon of dungeon play, specs like shadow priest are tearing their cocks off in frustration because they were pretty much abandoned this tier. There's always something that gets ignored with zero proactive changes. Last tier was a fight to see which of the big meta specs could get the most buffs/nerfs over and over. To the point that shaman was already good last tier and they accidentally made them way better in the halfway patch. They spent forever tweaking the same 4 specs every patch and everyone else got a little change maybe one time if they were lucky. It's one of many weird things they do with patch cycles that reminds me of the incompetence of Riot Games.

>>713755918

Isn't this bad? People already have melties about there random ugly ass bars not being present on patch and using hud addons.
This just seems like a pitch in the dark to try to get people to come back to content that's still too hard for your average person.

>>713769194
as someone who just got CE, i think addons DO need to be trimmed back. Gally Mythic was actually fun because you could kinda follow the whole fight without needing addons but 4 other bosses this tier are literally impossible without WAs and i think thats bad design imo

>>713768645
>WoW's biggest competitor had it's hardest latest raid cleared by WoW radiers world first for fun days before actual FFXIV guilds

>>713769690
Okay... That's a boss design problem, not addons. What they are suggesting will break everything related to combat including damage meters and those class aura packs that put your abilities on a neat bar that basically everyone uses. They can clearly design interesting mechanics that addons don't help with. Battle for Dazar'alor had no WA's like that and had many creative fights.

I just don't get WoW. I don't understand it. I want to like it. I'd like to play it. I don't get why I'd play a game like this.
I don't know why I'd spend 100 hours playing when my spec doesn't change save for dealing/taking more damage/healing.

Am I missing something? Is there really no way to customize my gameplay beyond small %s and numbers?

That's why GW2 will always be the best MMO despite how shit some of the updates are. The main reward for grinding legendary gear in GW2 is it lets you play more classes/builds forever for unlimited variety.

>Why are you even playing an RPG if you don't want the numbers to go up
Numbers going up means nothing when it gets completely reset every season. It was fine in old expansions when gear carried throughout the entire expansion. Now they just give everyone in the game free catch up gear that's basically as good as BiS previous tier making it completely pointless.

>>713771615
Plenty of people are still running the old raids because it's good gold.. they should add mount drops to the raid for more incentives to keep playing but don't because of the cash shop. The main reason why engagement is so low is it didn't launch with raids so anyone who cared about raiding quit immediately. Also, if you're only running raids for gear and not for fun just do yourself a favor and quit. It's just pretty sad especially with the season resets in modern WoW. Main think keeping people raiding is FOMO trying to get CE and AOTC achievements. It was hard for me to quit because I had like 15 cutting edges in a row but so glad I did.

>>713755918

GW2 has no participation because theres no fucking reason to do it, because their retarded reward system means raiding is never worth it. The fact that nobody in GW2 cares about raiding means the dogshit progression isnt working
>It was fine in old expansions when gear carried throughout the entire expansion.
literally never happened
even in vanilla when itemization was dogshit almost everything was replaced by AQ

>>713773079
>even in vanilla when itemization was dogshit almost everything was replaced by AQ
Are you comparing AQ (2 entire new raids) to TWW which has delves that drops better gear than previous tier's mythic raid for free on day 1? Also old WoW had attunements which required you to do the old raids which required gear which gave a clear progression. Everything is reset on patch day in WoW now, it's not the same at all.

>The fact that nobody in GW2 cares about raiding means the dogshit progression isnt working
Not running the same raid every week for 5 months doesn't mean no one cares (although there are plenty of guilds that still do that, even for 10 year old raids). Funny as hell the retards who still play WoW complain about time gating every patch and can't comprehend not doing a raid that doesn't time gate you with gear. Gearing in WoW is the worst time gating in the entire game.

>>713717975 (OP)
Uh no sorry, they made a mistake over a decade ago and I will never forgive them for that. The game literally cannot be good because they once did that one thing that I will never forgive them for.

if stuff is replaced its getting replaced, whether whether its after 6 months or 9
>Also old WoW had attunements which required you to do the old raids which required gear
unless youre generously counting the cloak for Nefarian raids were only required for attunement in TBC, and it was all joke content that did not require gearing up properly and was nerfed repeatedly over and over because attunements were dogshit
>Gearing in WoW is the worst time gating in the entire game.
the season ends for most people when theyre geared up, speeding it up just means everyone quits faster
This is why GW2 content is all dead on arrival

>>713727208
worse, theyve added transgender and nonbinary npcs as well as gay adoptive parents

>>713769601
The reasoning is that combat addons trivialize mechanics, and as a results mechanics have had to become more punishing in an attempt to matter. With combat addons a mechanic might give you a couple of seconds to react and act accordingly, without said addons the player can be given more time because the player has to notice and react on its own rather than having an addon yelling at it. Furthermore it makes filler mechanics that can't be detected by addons - such as don't step on thing on ground - less necessary because other mechanics are more meaningful with the absense of combat addons.
So in a sense the reasoning is they can actually make the game less complex and / or punishing because there's not some addon doing all the heavy lifting for the player. Fewer, simpler and less punishing mechanics will still provide a reasonable degree of difficulty.

Exactly, the exact reason everyone hates how WoW timegates content but they keep doing it because it keeps retards engaged. The gearing is no different, hence ape brains. If you need to be drip fed higher numbers in order to have """fun""" raiding just quit for your own sake, it's pathetic. GW2 has no subscription so it doesn't matter if it wastes your time or not.

3k in itself is meaningless. At least they finally added another reward to make hitting it cool. But since DF S2, 3k has basically been the same as 2.5k. depending on the season it feels like you want to be around 3.3k-3.4k. Often see too many 3k shitters in queue that you have to vet properly because getting it isn't difficult at all.
