Stop designing the game like it is some kind of e-sport!!!

The entire game feels like an over designed bloated mess these days, this is why new players are not sticking with the game.

Good Idea , to make Exiles reach a new starting area, hopefully the cooking and crafting will be level appropriate.

I got excited for a second, I thought they were shutting the servers down.

I hope the renewed focus on RP elements of the game means we’ll see more and more customizations options. Things I’d like to see:

  • Color options for Dark Iron’s fiery-hair effect. Would be cool to be able to choose things like green for a Warlock or blue for a DK
  • Color options for the Nightborne’s glowing hands. Same reason as the Dark Iron.
  • Red skin option for Orcs. There are a handful of Fel Orcs that joined the Horde way back in TBC
  • Forest and Frost Troll options to bring all the Troll tribes reunited under a single banner
  • Expand the Dark Ranger option to Nightborne. They’re the only group of Elves that don’t get the option
  • Also, please, enable the Dark Ranger option for DKs

Lastly, please provide any updates on further Race / Class combinations.

Why would that excite you? I can see indifference, but “excite”?

:smirk:

I don’t respond to talking fur balls

Apparently you do.

TLDR version

Game is still online
We acknowledge we get feedback
Here is a paper thin rough draft of “something” new
Playerbase is split 4 ways but we want to push the social aspect
We think we are doing amazing

If you cared about the social aspect then you wouldn’t have permanently doubled down on raid lockouts, weekly lootbox vault, weekly profession timegate.

The progression in of itself is catering to sunk cost fallacied veteran players. It is not intended for players seeking out true progression that affords agency and does not burn them for wanting to play with others at their own pace.

Timegate timeout systems design runs wholly counter to what they say they want. It seems like the same folks at Blizzard are still refusing to admit this as it’d affect their job and it’d take too much ownership to admit such.
