Thread 723739643

Excited for WoW 2. Blizzard is remaking the original world, more extensive and detailed. It'll also be playable offline with a solo mode.

Aishwarya, the monoglaive blood elf rogue, never forget

WoW 2 is also going to have permadeath, but instead of the "hardcore mode" thing they have now, it will actually make sense and take resurrection spells and the spirit world into account, so it'll actually be made by people who play the game and understand it, and that's gonna be great.

And then ON TOP OF THAT, even more exciting, WoW is about to become the next Super Mario 64, where everyone is going to have easy tools to make their own versions of the game, updates to the game, and totally different games from the game. In the next few years you are going to have hundreds, really hundreds of very extensive modded versions of WoW that are very easy to use and install and that's really quite exciting.

MMO players need to be killed

>WoW 2
mazed rat fantasy lmao

Blizzard cant do anything right so which private server are you talking about OP?

>>723741354
Just because Blizzard hates the original game and refused to let people play it on their servers while at the same time shutting down private servers that let people play it, and then they were finally forced to do "classic wow" and then the only things they added were microtransactions, JUST BECAUSE OF THAT, you think Blizzard can't do anything right?
I blush for you. WoW 2, coming soon.

>WoW 2: now with 100% less women
>removing all depictions of female secondary sexual characteristics and all innuendo was just the start, now all female character models have been replaced with abstract 3d art to ensure that nobody is offended!

>>723742489
Wrong, Blizzard is going to add female slavery to the game, in fact you'll be able to have loli foxgirl slave companions. And they will also add housing but only make characters will be able to own property, otherwise you'll have to get married.

This is a picture of Tarren Mill from the comic books. To this day no MMORPG has made towns and cities look or feel like towns or cities, partly because of limitations, you can't just put some NPCS walking around, and a bunch of houses or whatever. But it's very possible to do such a thing now, we have the technology, and that's also going to be in WoW 2. And the landscapes, so nice. Mulgore will actually look like it does in the old cinematic.

Another thing in WoW 2, you will be able to gain reputation with the opposite faction, if you're dedicated enough you as a human can indeed join the horde. You can learn the language join horde parties and do dungeons with them and so on. But it's very difficult. You can also be outted from both major factions.
That's all the updates on WoW 2's development. It's also going to be a mobile game using the Warcraft Rumble assets.

If your game is not playable offline then it's broken. Every game should be playable without an internet connection, even if it's not fun.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this very minute a blizzard fanboy killed xirself, psychotic bunch of freaks and losers

>>723743381
A to scale mmo would look visually neat but be a nightmare to actually play. Imagine navigating a gigantic city where 99% of it has nothing practical for the player, or spending several days hiking between settlements.

I was going to make a remark about how WoW is obviously not going to make 300 expansions, the reality is WoW 2 has to happen, they have to start over at some point.
And I was thinking, I don't even know how they operate with the expansions now, are people paying for all these expansions? And then I went to the website and realised they're selling mounts for $30. And I actually had no idea things had gotten to that point.
I am no longer optimistic about WoW 2.

warcraft is dead bro, move on

>>723739643 (OP)
Leave my beloved Whitemane alone.

There isn't gonna be a WoW 2, all the plugin killing stuff is in preparation for a console port, because Blizzard no longer has an original bone in its body and it's been copying FFXIV since Shadowbringers

>>723744747
It doesn't need to be as big as the real world. But WoW towns are too small, certainly if they remade the world in a new game, the towns would have to be bigger, and you could use that bigness to have quests and other elements happen within the towns and cities. A lot of exciting stuff can happen within them, because really in the game nothing happens in them, they're just hubs to go out and do stuff. But I can see someone spending a whole day just doing things within the town and having it be exciting.
And I think the world should be even bigger, though the original game is quite big already, but the zones could be bigger as long as it's detailed and each area is properly designed. Night and day times should also have an effect on the game, if it's a new moon then you can hardly see anything and need a lantern, enemies can change or whatever Zelda style.

But I know the truth now, I know that WoW 2 will not be good.

>>723744747
>or spending several days hiking between settlements.
Kino.
Imagine all the TIKTOK brainlets being filtered out by walking. This will instantly fix the game by keeping the ADHD riddled psychopaths out. I can finally have my slow MMORPG again.
You can't imagine how much I felt my nervous system relax simply by going from Retail to Classic.
Retail is unbearable even if you ignore all the woke crap.

Don't associate Whitemane with nu-WoW thanks, she died forever in Pandaria when they made SM worse.

>>723745143
I only have an offline WoW client on my computer so I can go in and change my model to Whitemane and masturbate to her. And also the succubus models, and also the night elves dancing and that idle hopping animation they do, and Sylvannas, and the innkeeper of Stormwind, and Cairne.

And that's why I want WoW 2, for more sexy sexy NPCs.

>>723744747
Locations don't need to be to scale. They just have to feel bigger.
I am playing t*rtle wow now and it's laughable how small most of the locations are. I've spent a lot of time looking at the locations and just thinking how I could increase the scale, where I could put in new buildings and landmarks without making the game worse. Majority of settlements are surrounded by empty space and could easily fit in fake decorative buildings that don't get in your way and just extend the settlement without intruding on the actual space with the content.

>>723746378
WoW was rushed at it's release and a lot of the zones are legitimately unfinished, plus the art team admittedly had issues with scale because one of the big goals of it was to depict the structures seen in the RTS games, but at a smaller level so players could actually run around inside them. A LOT of buildings are just copy pasted, like how 50% of human style houses have the exact same fireplace in the back, stairs on the left layout.

>>723745846
I do not wish to be associated with filth like you, I will no longer masturbate to the succubi.

Gosh, now I'm thinking, the WoW sex game is surely coming soon. There is a website that does mods where the characters are naked or whatever. But like I said WoW modding is very soon about to explode, someone's going to take the base game and turn it into a whole harem simulator and so on. wowmods.com, currently worth $5000. Someone will buy that host all sorts of stuff, but it's still a few years into the future, but it'll be a big thing.
As far as I know Turtle WoW are the first people to make a finished version of WoW, I haven't looked at it, but from what I understand they did finish all the areas. That's pretty cool, though I don't like the idea of the High Elves being part of the alliance, I don't really know how that makes any sense, the original WoW game manual mentions that they began calling themselves blood elves and the fact they would join the Horde is inevitable. But I haven't looked at that mod yet, I'd prefer to look at it offline, but they aren't releasing their stuff for people to do that, because they are terrible people I suppose.

slow mmos are for adhd tards. the slower the mmo is, the more things you can do while playing. as im typing this post im playing runescape and watching tv. retail wow is an anti-adhd game because you have to stay focused on the game 100% of the time. if your focus wanders youre dead

Funny joke

I feel like that's the other way around. People are able to focus on original WoW despite it being slow, the modern WoW does everything every second to keep your attention.
You really can't play original WoW and do other things, you will die. You have to be paying attention.

They even let you play the original game (after being forced to) and yet you all stopped playing. Hmm, I guess you really didn't want it after all. "But they added level boosting and WoW tokens." Oh, I see, you're poor, gross.

WoW 2 is what you get after killing yourself as a blizzdrone, fucker.

>>723747352
i have adhd and im telling you youre wrong
classic wow is extremely slow. you can absolutely watch tv/youtube/tiktok/whatever while not paying much attention to the game. you spend 90% of your gameplay numlock running or on flight paths, the other 10% is dotting up a mob and autoattacking until it dies. perhaps if youre a literal noob who runs into a high level area youll panic and die, but if youve played before you know all the dangerous areas and what your instant escape buttons are. classic is so brainlessly easy that subhuman streamers distracted by their chat whenever theyre playing still reach max level and raid

>>723748834
Yeah you can do other things while your travelling obviously, that's one of the important parts of the game. It's dynamics, moments of high and low, like old Star Wars vs Disney Star Wars. That's what modern wow is, Disney star wars.
The idea original WoW is easy is ridiculous, compared to what, modern WoW? You're joking. By WotLK people just started setting their character on follow for dungeons or just did nothing, no need to play at all. I know because that's what I did, the game became nothing. There was no strategy whatsoever.

And again, fighting regular mobs is easy in original, compared to what again, to modern WoW? I don't think there's any need to even address so much ridiculousness, I don't even know if you believe what you're saying.

>>723739643 (OP)

Modern WoW is so "brainlessly easy" you can pay to finish the game.

>>723745497
Good job, you've made a game with a $200M budget due to the million hours of dev time and it appeals to 2000 people on launch. After a month they grow bored, having never gotten higher than level 10 and quit.

>>723749504
in classic you spend 99% of your time leveling up to max then play 1 hour a week raidlogging
in retail you spend 1 hour leveling up to max and spend 99% of your time in m+ and raiding
yes, retail leveling is stupid easy, but you dont actually spend time doing it. the rest of retail is ballbreakingly hard. theres more mechanics in m+ dungeon trash packs than the entirety of molten core. you cant afk through m+ and retail raids like you can afk through classic

>>723749952
Taking a long time to get places is a thing that appeals to all mmorpgs players. WoW was popular because of what it was and it was a very large world that took time to get places. The moment they added dungeon fast travel and other nonsense the game began to lose people. So it seems actually people are not interested in that rather.
The bigger the world the better as long as there's things to do in the world it won't matter, besides you'll still have flight paths and portals and ships.

>>723750073
Classic WoW raids are not easy. Just because everyone today knows every single thing and everyone is forced to be super charged and spec'd out, of course it seems easier.
But you said, WoW is a slow MMO for ADHD people so that they can do other things while they play. And that makes no sense. it's a slow mmo therefore it's for ADHD people? just really think about that statement. It's a "slow mmo" because it's an mmorpg, it's how they are suppose to be. It's how all of them were. Compared PSO to modern PSO II. But which one is better?
And even if something requires more of your attention that makes it less "ADHD"? Think about what you're saying. I think modern WoW and modern PSO do require more of your attention, they spam your attention, they never cease, they assaults your eyes with garbage at all times that you have to lazily pay attention to.
Just because a game doesn't do that doesn't mean people aren't focused. People are way more focused on the original WoW when they play because everything that is happening has some level of weight and feeling to it.

No I'm being serious, I think porn is better than video games. I agree with you.
It's just kind of an apples and oranges comparison, we're talking about video games, you're talking about anime porn. I guess you can technically consider them "games" in the same way porn with a story are "movies"

>Classic WoW raids are not easy. Just because everyone today knows every single thing and everyone is forced to be super charged and spec'd out, of course it seems easier.
vanilla raids WERE hard in 2004, but right now in 2025 classic raids ARE easy. right now, at this moment in time, the version of wow called "classic wow" is a very easy game by modern standards. this isnt really a wow exclusive problem. every game franchise gets harder and more complicated over time. mario was a 2d game with 3 powerups at first where the hardest thing to do was jump off a goombas head. now its a 3d game with 20 powerups and the hardest thing to do is autistic backflips into throwing your hat off a wall and jumping off it

>you have to lazily pay attention to
I guess thats our big disagreement. you cant "lazily pay attention" to something. thats like saying "slowly move fast" to me. you either pay attention, or are lazy and distracted. its a binary. I like slow mmos because I can be lazy and distracted

The next WoW movie is going to be about fighting the Scourge invasion (that's actually real, that's really what it will be) which I realise Blizzard stole the whole Scourge invasion from the north idea from A Song of Ice and Fire. And that's why the movie will be called "Twenty Good Elves".

>in classic you spend 99% of your time leveling up to max

This is why raids should be rare, and not the default endgame model.

>>723752961
What should the core endgame be then? Genuine question because i hate what mmos have devolved into as well

>>723752961
If PvP was actually good in any version of WoW, they'd be able to keep my subbed for longer but instead, you have 30 skill rotations you have to memorize plus you need to know every fucking class to counter them correctly. However, that's not the worst, the worst is I'm not 20 anymore and my tendons in my hands hurt when I need to keep my fingers strained to push buttons combinations to do my skills. Factory work ruins you.

Blizzard couldn't make a proper sequel for their best selling game Overwatch, how in gods name could they do a WoW 2 and not have it either go the way of Titan or god forbid Starcraft Ghost?

>>723739643 (OP)
Why would they do that? They're not stupid. You're addicted to the current one. All of your perceived achievements and significant emotional events in life are in that game. Your social life is in that game. You pay all your irl wagie money for carries and wow tokens in order to maintain your social status and satisfy your ego in that game. They know they can put less effort into the game and you'll stay on the treadmill and pay the next artificial rmt scheme they come up with regardless. A sequel or remake would just be a clean slate, which means a quit moment for all of you. The game hasn't been decent for 17 years, and it hasn't been good for 20. Your inevitable disappointment with the sequel would make you confront this, and you'd just become asmongoloids picking up the pieces of your life. A sequel or remake is the worst thing that could happen to your community.

Off the top of my head

It doesn't even matter if they do. All the heroes and characters we liked from the warcraft franchise are basically dead. They got replaced with extremely shitty uninteresting characters. Plus black elves...zoinks

>>723753052
That is the endgame, raids. "And then what?" Nothing. PVP. Games have an ending. And then you play again if you want or move on. If they do release expansions they should NEVER add more levels, that's a terrible idea and that philosophy ultimately was the beginning of the end, the idea of replacing older endgame stuff with newer endgame stuff, such a bad idea. Just make a new game then.
Of course with WoW 2, you will also having housing (which Blizzard is stealing this idea from me for their next expansion apparently, my personal idea).

If you had permadeath you wouldn't need to worry as much about some eternal endgame. Now for all the Blizzard WoW 2 employees who are paying attention, I've already told you what you need to do with permadeath >>723740336
But there's also the carry body mechanic. This is for when someone carries your body and even when it's too late to resurrected them if you can bring them to a cathedral of light or witchdoctor whatever, you can place their body there and with exalted reputation and lots of money and resources you can have the character resurrected with a permanent debuff. Also when you die you can be looted by anyone for 0-6 of your items right away, it's a whole thing. Very excited for WoW 2. And the slave mechanic like I mentioned, very improtant.

>>723753521
>social status
To whom? The empty friend list?
The random rotation of strangers in Orgrimmar/Stormwind inspecting your character?
This is not 2007 anymore.
I still remember the YouTube videos in 2006 of people deleteing their WoW characters and destroying their game discs because it was or already had ruined their lives. That doesn't happen anymore. Barely anyone even reacts to you in the world or returns your Hello. Not even in General chat. It's a single player game with bots boosting in chat and a virtual world of memories around you.
At best all that's left is retards who did let it ruin their lives and are now stuck in WoW limbo, forever.

>>723753782
I like that all the interesting bits of the world is being removed. The faction conflict is virtually dead and the game is worse for it.

I first played in July 2010.
At first it was amazing to walk around in the WORLD OF WARCFAT III. I played for 3 or 4 months. Then stopped as the hype for literally being in Warcraft III wore off. Returned a year later and kept doing that until 2013. Then stopped for 12 years thinking I'd never return. I didn't like the fact that WoW was so GEAR FETISHIZED. That always turned me off. Can't Pvp without the meme gear!111!! (this will sell our game)
I found out Retail WoW was more friendly for solo players so I tried again before getting so bored so I decided to try Classic WoW and that held me busy for another month. Still same shit of course but I just play it to enjoy it for what it is. Honestly, if it wasn't for classic, I'd be gone and done. There's nothing to Retail for me. They managed to absolutely KILL the ''Warcraft feeling''. Hooray for the trannies.

>>723753782
WoW 2 cannot take place in the future that's true, because the game is ruined. No one wants a sequel to this garbage.
One reason they have to do WoW 2 pretty soon is because they're out of lore as far as I know. Not that I have paid attention to the expansions aide from their names. But they all seem to have been based on Warcraft lore as far as Dragonflight. But then "War Within" really sounds like they have nowhere left to go, I think it was about spider people underground. Battle of Azeroth too was just "stuff is happening." Well, I guess you can just keep making expansions where "stuff happens", because really you wouldn't even want to introduce any new stuff, how many lands can you possibly put in the game? I don't know, but people keep playing and buying $30 mounts so, I guess I'm the idiot and Blizzard knows what they're doing.

WoW 2 can't take place in the past when the continent was one because some of the races wouldn't exist. It also would be kind of stupid to make it take place in the same time as the original WoW. Because yes you can remake the world and make it look different but you'd still have all the same dungeons and raids I suppose because they're tied with the world. You're still going to have dead mines and the defias brotherhood, you're going to have child king stormwind. But you can Anduin more interesting and have him run around the town forcing women to do lewd things for him as he goes through puberty. It's an idea. I have some ideas.

>almost 2026

>>723753971
>perceived social status
Said it that way for a reason. Those times are why they have any passion/interest in the game to stay on the treadmill. It's hollowed out now but they still care and can't quit and that's why they still go through the motions. The whole business model for wow is these addicts. A remake or sequel would just free them. It will never happen.

WoW 2 is housing, half the game will be women and queers adjusting shelves and erping in private night clubs

>>723755195
Well no one else has released another mmorpg, so mmorpg players still talk about it. They don't play it anymore, but they talk about it. There are other games that call themselves mmorpgs, but they're games made so that people on youtube make videos talking about how bad they are and that's mostly it.
But if Halo was the only first person shooter game in existence people would always talk about it.

yes, im mad any discussion about a game ive played is full of retards

They proved they literally cannot make a compelling story. Time and time again with these expansions. Wc3 wasn't even a complex story but it was compelling. The characters were pretty much all good.

Blizzard always needs to inject some terrible characters/themes to fit with the times. The retcons are just out of hand at this point as well, like why care about ANYTHING when next expansion they can just pull something out of their ass.

>>723744747
EVE Online does it, for better or worse. Getting from one end of high security space to the other in a shuttle (One of the fastest ships for travel) still takes about 20 minutes of actual flying or 30+ minutes of autopilot. Trying to move the other end of the spectrum, a freighter, that distance can take well over an hour.

It really does cause people to slow down and interact with one another locally because you don't always see someone else to play with when you log on, but it also means just as many people see how long travel time would take and just decide to not log in for the day.

>>723755565
I don't play video games, nerd, in fact I've probably posted on /v/ a total of three times before this. I might play EUV.

But it's mostly the fact that WoW is about to explode in modding and Blizzard going after Turtle WoW so strongly might mean nothing, but I'm hearing that Blizzard is seriously considering finishing the original game. Which interests me as someone who has spent 20 years genuinely finishing the game in my own mind. The problem is they can't, we know they can't. Everything they have done with "wow classic" has been a disaster, they have tried their hardest to ruin the original game. Adding "layers" and microtransaction.
Not to mention, does that even make sense? Because they finished the unfinished zones in future expansions. So would they just make them the same kind of thing in the original game, it's kind of all stupid and they should start over.

>>723756264

>>723755847
I'm not a superfan, I'm not a fan of modern wow at all, and modern Blizzard has no relation to the original game, they didn't make it. And I don't play the modern game, not since mist of pandas.
"Well then you don't know what it's like."
Yes I do actually. And I'll tell you, I don't care if you want to play a game with microtransactions and warping into dungeons no sense of open world in your face explosions cutscenes people jumping in front of bullets yelling "Nooooo!". That's fine. I just don't want to play that. You can be mad at me if you want. I don't like neo-Blizzard's game.

And I'm not sure what you mean by obsessed over a game you barely play. I'm talking about WoW on the video game board. That's all. Are you suggesting it should be on the retro game board?

Move on.

>>723756596
Because Turtle WoW is a massive accomplishment it has 500k players apparently I don't know. But they finished the game! From what I've seen, I refuse to play it. But fans finished the game and you look at the zones they finished and they look like original zones. It's very impressive. I guess they didn't add Northrend or Outlands which in my opinion were the only two places Blizzard always intended to add from the beginning.

WoW will becomes like Super Mario 64 and have a huge mod-scene to it. You can accept the truth or choose not to believe me.

>>723757029
The only reason you say this is because you think WoW is a live service rather than a game. WoW is a game that existed and ended in the mid 2000s, and people are allowed to talk about games from the mid 2000s. It's not second life, it's not some kind of way of being. It's a game from the mid 2000s that you can still paly and people do play. Just like many other games from many other years.

You could look at Midnight as being WoW2

NTA, but WoW, and MMOs are quite literally the first form and very definition of live service.

Companies might treat them as live "services" and that is a mistake. That's why we don't have a sequel to WoW to begin with.
If they just FINISHED the original game and then made another game none of this would have happened.
And now that's what's being forced to happen. They were forced to release classic WoW, which is not getting any updates, it's a stable finite game. And then people say "well I'm bored of it." YES! That's okay, it's a video game! People think of these things are life simulators. It's a game, the fact you play it for a few months or years and are done is great.
But for some reason mmorpgs need to be "live service, update update update" Terrible, and awful way to think about it.

Anon, MMORPGs at their core at live service games. They were designed to be virtual worlds, and worlds don't end until they're destroyed. Longevity is also an important aspect of MMOs, nobody is going to want to invest months or years into an MMO, then come back later only to find that game shutdown, they lost all their stuff, but now there's a sequel! MMORPGs also take a long time to make and are expensive as hell.

Any online video game that is receiving constant updates is a live service game

Worlds just are, they are made and then that's it. You don't have to keep updating a game. WoW Classic released 6 years ago and people still play it, and it's really much older than 6 years. No updates. It's not necessary. It is a terrible idea to make these massive changes with updates. Of course WoW had to be updated because it was released unfinished, but instead of focusing on having a final version of the game, after three years they just kept adding and they're still adding.
If your game shuts down after a few months or years, bad game. But you realise all live service games are going to shut down, hence why they should always be playable offline, and making a private server and support for private servers should be there. I'm against live service for that reason, because they do shut down and they leave behind a mess of millions of different versions of the game.
Every live service game updates and updates and still shuts down, only WoW hasn't because they're lucky with what they started with.

You make a good game, you'll be able to make a sequel. You're making money the whole time it's active, if you're not making money the whole time the servers are up you failed. And updates and updates are totally unnecessary, I know because Blizzard is losing people the more expansions they make. They get some people in each expansion for two months, great. They could have had way more people dedicated each day with a game that is finite and enjoyable. Since when do games need to be updated to be repayable.

>Move on to what, anon?
Move on from MMOs, gaylord.

>>723759773
You opened a thread about an MMO to tell some random anon that they should move on...?

>>723759773
Well he was saying Warcraft was dead. Not MMOs. People don't want to move on from Warcraft because it has potential. Should people move on from Zelda? "Yes." Oh, you know you're right about that.
But Warcraft is different, it actually has a massive opportunity for RPGs and yet after all these years we have had really little done with Warcraft. What a mishandling disaster.

>>723759574
And in terms of people wanting to play an MMO where they know their character is safe and the server isn't going to be deleted, that's very true. But it's also true people don't want to play a game and put time into that game, only for that game to be forcefully turned into a different game.
