Sure, but that expresses interest in cosmetics and not the game as a whole.
The fact Classic is as popular as it is suggests there’s a lot of people who prefer an older WoW. And I wonder how far we’ll progress with that. I’d probably be up for early Cata, but I’d lose interest by 4.2.
Nah, Wrath breaks the pattern. Outlands is not azeroth, but northrend is.
Honestly not a big fan of item squishing, I know it’s neccessary in the modern game thanks to 4 teirs per raid, but every time you do it you basically neuter gear from previous expansions into not mattering at all. Makes the levelling experience boring. I suppose a level squish doesn’t neccessarily mean an item squish but…
Honestly? This is the first time they’ve done a level squish. How well it goes will inform my opinion of it.
Honestly I feel the decline was going to happen then regardless of what they did. It had to at some point and after having fought Warcraft two most iconic characters… I feel that would be when most casual players would tap out. Thus dropping the number of players.
Not entirely. While Northrend is indeed part of Azeroth. For those who had no idea on the lore of the game, Northrend was quite foreign.
I don’t see how that’s significant.
Not entirely?
Just admit the mistake and move on, dude. Northrend was a big focus in warcraft 3, it’s not like they invented a new continent for WoW.
It is significant because one would not have the feeling of returning to Azeroth. Honestly don’t know many people who were huge into the lore until the later stages of Wrath and by that time the boat kind of sailed.
Yeah. I suppose this has merit.
But it only goes so far, imo. Leveling is good insights into the root of a class. Raiding is boring, and there isn’t much end game. There also aren’t dailies, so that’s great!
I’m not sure if I’m more excited for Shadowlands or BC. Heroic instances aren’t as fun as Mythic+, but I don’t want to have to grind lame content to participate in the content I want to.
I may just give up on WoW altogether, because I think that my favorite parts so far have been learning new things, rather than revisiting them. And the latest content had more grind than learning, which pushed me out of it.
Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it. Classic was a cash grab. TBC will be the next. Classic+ is never going to happen. Ever.
They are not going to put a bunch of development costs into something like that, that may or may not succeed. It would be extremely risky.
TBC is a sure thing. Like Classic, it will be very profitable, because it will be cheap, and they already know that lots of people will play it. It’s free money just lying on the ground waiting for them to pick up.
This isn’t a point. That’s any game ever.
This feels a lot more like a point, and it would be difficult to disagree with it, imo.
I thought of that long before you brought it up. Not everyone played Warcraft 3. Hell for a lot of people WoW is the first time dealing with the Warcraft universe at all. That is why the game saw such growth from release until towards the end of wrath.
To assume everyone played Warcraft 1-3 a this point in Warcraft lifespan… is off… Most wouldn’t have played them.
Except it is on Azeroth. Not knowing about it if you’re completely ignorant of lore doesn’t mean it’s not returning to Azeroth.
TIL that if something is new to you, personally, then it didn’t exist on azeroth before.
Also we ended Legion on Argus, and came back to Azeroth in BFA, so it still doesn’t work.
I actually particularly dislike it. I don’t like the Warcraft RTS series at all. I did play (and like) Starcraft though.
The story is the more important part though.
I do not care about the story. I don’t play WoW for the story. Indeed, the only time I’ve ever cared about the story is when it had to do with the Dark Lady.
Okay… the entire point is that it doesn’t matter if you know the story or not, Northrend is on Azeroth.
The story used to be particularly important to me. They just kind of gutted it.
?
I don’t know what you mean nor why that matters. It’s on “the map.”
That’s maybe why you could use a zeppelin to get to Northrend, as opposed to requiring a portal to get to Outland.
The origin of the chain of comments is a person suggesting that because people may not know the story, that Northrend doesn’t count as Azeroth.
Is that a deviation from the OP? Are we derailing this conversation?
Follow the conversation, dude.
This is why we were talking about Northrend being on azeroth.
