A Word on World of Warcraft for 2025

Community General Discussion
41

It’s not about knowing months in advance.

It’s about respecting the entire community vs a select group.

There are an incredible number of guilds who were/are working on the last couple of bosses still, many on Queen.

Knowing a date, you could make an informed decision on if you should push for a kill, or understand that realistically you can’t.

Your response is clearly coming from an individual that doesn’t understand the sheer amount of planning, preperation, and time needed for most mythic guilds now. You quite literally need spreadsheets upon spreadsheets for the execution of these things.

You have to plan number of average raid days/pull counts for bosses to see if it’s attainable. It’s just a reality now.

That’s all perfectly okay, and something we sign up for when we do Mythic. It’s just super crappy to play a guessing game, and then BAM Blizzard announces a patch release in 3 weeks, when you thought you had 4, and suddenly the attempt to kill that boss gets so much harder.

s3 → s4 in DF is a great example. We got a 3 week notice on the transition, and with it, a pity nerf to Fyrakk. That’s simply not enough time for a guild to make reasonable decisions.

Asking for a reasonable timeline, or at least the same courtesy they give a small group, isn’t an unreasonable ask.

Again I don’t think they should put out information before they’re ready, my arguement is they have a date, they’ve told RWF the date, and for some odd reason, decided the other 99% of us don’t need to know?

Umm did I miss a few paragraphs? Where is the info about what’s coming next besides housing? Seemed like it was all patting themselves on the back for previous changes ?

Finally!!! I hope I’m not getting my hopes up preemptively but I have wanted player housing ever since I started wow. A place for my characters to call home, where I could customize it for each of my characters. I am itching to see what they’ve come up with!

I 100% agree with your takes here… knowing this stuff shouldn’t be limited to the people who get paid to play the game or the ones pushing the hardest content.

The RWF players say time and time again “Do not cater the game to the RWF playerbase” because of stuff like this.

The person who replied before obviously has no actual stake in doing the content they’re trying to argue over, so I wouldn’t wasate the time.

ngl, I expect to be disappointed but I’ll remain hopeful that I am not. We will see though.

Can we get actual development changes for Cata+MOP? PvP is super downhill and unplayed due to no balancing and gatekept rewards. We really need Gladiator in 2v2 to return. Only 30 Gladiator slots in 3v3 really shows how bad it is right now :frowning:

Wow, they actually brought a social credit score to World of Warcraft. Just, wow.

Everything else is just white noise. No re-investment into the existing World so the lore, the world, and the overall experience of the game feels less like chapters in a book.

Ugh.

I won’t use housing myself but I’m glad they’re putting time into it. Here’s to hoping it’s not Garrisons 2.0 for you folks.

The idea makes me want to puke. 100% collection farmers will annoy the crap out of anyone just to get an advantage.
Sorry: Other players should never exist solely for your own benefits.

Very interested to see what the new player experience they are working on will be. I guess we’ll have to wait until the Midnight reveal to find out more.

So you’re doing stuff… but no dates or details further, just it’s gonna take a while?
Thanks for this little nothing, I guess.

The development team has embraced a lot of the feedback we’ve received from the community, and we have spent a lot of time reflecting on where the game is today. There are a few areas we want to improve on over time, and we have already begun taking our first steps toward setting the foundations for those improvements.

I’d like to see improvement on communicating with the excluded community of PVP. Yes, I know we are small but a response would acknowledge someone is listening to our feedback. Epic BG premades are running rampant, illegal addons being used to ruin casual enjoyment of pvp. Queue times for solo shuffle go higher each passing day unless youre brave enough to attempt to heal. Warmode is typically one sided towards a faction, class abilities imbalance in pvp. There is a forum thread in battlegrounds with over 850 responses and nearly 8,000 views. Please drop us a note, that’s my request as a loyal wow player.

This sounds like they’re leaning into external tools like Discord? If so, I see that as a positive direction. Let the dedicated communication platforms do what they do best while you all focus more on the game itself. In-game communities and guild chat are nice but will never be able to compete with the kind of social experience a well-curated and lively discord can provide.
