And they’ll still lose.

Adelphie-proudmoore · December 9, 2018, 1:23am

And they deserve to lose. BfA is bad, really bad.

Yrag-terenas · December 9, 2018, 1:25am

I cast my vote for WoW. I’m still having fun and even with the issues none of the other MMORPGs I’ve tried come close.

Andros-thaurissan · December 9, 2018, 1:26am

NPC#34252 really likes warfronts and NPC#85958 can’t wait for the new allied races to come out. Also, I am having a blast.

Mardomus:

Its for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. Many, including myself, agree this award should not be awarded for the current Warcraft Expansion and it should be given to other MMO’s players are “currently” enjoying or don’t vote, since others probably don’t play other MMOs. Warcraft had many downs than it did ups and one of the major problems players are upset about is the lack of communication. Prime example was the Alpha and Beta Feedback for BFA and before you write, it was just BFA. NO! This has been going on for years. Some players are enjoying the current expansion and many are forcing themselves to enjoy it hoping things will get better. If you want to judge WoW for the sum of its parts then lets go with some issues;

Lack of Communication

Abilities players “enjoyed” taken away and put back to create a new experience for players when in fact it created a major disadvantage.

Imbalanced classes/specs

Limitation/restrictions on abilities per Class/Spec

Horrible transmogs leaving Mail wearers upset and maybe some leather wearers due to the lack of detail and creativity put into cloth and sometimes Plate.

Classes/Specs being unplayable for months until update when in fact Feedback addressed those said issues ahead of release, yet have been ignored. This has happened per expansion.

Boring and a very lack of creativity to professions that have been dooped down over the expansions.

Imbalance in PVP leaving most Arenas with Rogues, Warriors, Shamans, Druids, and like two other classes/specs that perform well over others.

Nerfing classes/specs that are performing well down to those that are under performing without fixing the “real” issue to those classes/specs, and leaving those nerfed classes/specs later needing to be buffed. Happens every expansion.

Repetitive and boring World Quest many complained about in Legion added into BFA with limited rewards, RNG for loot, bad scaling at a certain item level, or horrible rewards; 10 gold.

Lack of Character Development.

Lack of Open World content leaving players engaged only in farming Mythic+/PVP/1 Week Raids/WQs per hour/time gated. Sometimes people will go grab some xmogs or battle pets… and… log out next week to repeat 4-8 hours of weekly content for many.

RNG. Expansions release like every 2 years with 6 months of raid release leaving players limited and no freedom when it comes to gear. Players spend weeks getting the same gear with horrible stats, 10 gold with bad loot protection, and/or gear they don’t need. Also, Raids are limited once per week, so imagine the grind/luck when getting the gear you “need” Vs “don’t need”. And leaving players behind for loot due to this system and the time between new content.

Azerite grind when players wrote Feedback regarding the grind for Artifact Power.

Restricting Legendary transmog saying it will go by lore or whatever when in fact they are able to bend the lore and such of the game for other means.

Very limited Character Design.

Copy and Paste race design.

A large portion of hunter community asked for quivers, nothing stil (Artifact don’t count).

Many Moonkins asked for new forms, nothing.

Limitations Over Freedom. Players don’t have Freedom.

Amazing Ideas brought to Devs with many agreeing to ignored because Dev’s wanted to stick by “their” Philosophy, which we see still not working.
There are more, but we know what it is.

So in conclusion, those who are unhappy with the game now and then should be able to vote how they please due to their reasons on why. BFA was a stepping stone for many Veteran players, those who came into WoW midway or some who are new to WoW. Plus players are taking a break from the game and are playing other games, if you read other posts. What baffles me are players who except these issues and allow them to continue this practice. Actually it feels as though those who don’t speak out on issues are the reasons why WoW is in the state because Devs are listening to them rather then the real problems. Players are passionate and love the game and this is their way of protesting the game the once enjoyed.

This is a pretty good observation of many of the big problems with this expansion, and is among many reasons why I’ve been having trouble motivating myself to really play WoW for anything more than just RP. I need to do LFR on my Orc Warrior and I will eventually but …the Azerite system just doesn’t feel good at all, and it’s worse when you consider that, if you want to jump between roles often, you’re going to be losing more and more gold to do so. That’s not sustainable!

Hell, my biggest issues with this game (though they’re by no means my only ones of course) are the fact that the player race updates in a few cases (Orcs, Trolls, Night Elves, Nightborne, Blood and Void Elves to a lesser degree) all got their armor mapping pretty atrociously ruined.

It’s bad enough with covering sets, but oh goodness the bikini armor can look pretty bad in terms of legwear for the mentioned races and there doesn’t appear to be any reason why it happened? Armor mapping and detail in general seems in need of a real fix, though. Even newer armor pieces don’t look quite right on the aforementioned player races, and it makes me wonder if the way they do armor design needs to be changed/updated completely…

The fact we still don’t have any body customization at all (not even a dang beer belly) and have had no new hair styles for the player races since Wrath is also pretty disappointing.

I love this game, but the expansion? Ehehh… not so much. The story is frankly awful, the disparity between the experiences has been noted by many including myself in numerous threads on the subject, the Azerite system -really- needed to be refined, rep grinding is pretty demotivating with how deliberately it slows the player down from doing the grind…

There’s just been too many missed shots and bad decisions, and it seems it’s starting to really show. I don’t really plan on signing up to vote at all anyway but, I cannot say I’d vote for WoW in it’s current state.

Yrag-terenas · December 9, 2018, 1:49am

The voting is still going on, at least I was able to vote a couple of minutes ago and yes I cast my vote for WoW.

Nippysmilk-barthilas · December 9, 2018, 1:53am

Can anyone tell me if old school runescape made the cut?

The dev player interaction in that game is top tier

Awkaran-illidan · December 9, 2018, 1:57am

That’s good. I would cast my vote to World of Warcraft as well. It’s the only MMORPG that’s worth mentioning in my estimation. Even though BFA has holes in it WOW still is the best game in the genre by miles.

Fugubar-thrall · December 9, 2018, 2:43am

Thought it might be interesting to watch anyway, but I can’t find it on my DVR schedule. First post says it’s on 12/9, but no airtime is listed.

Chilela-hyjal · December 9, 2018, 5:13am

Nope.

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth
The Elder Scrolls Online
Maple Story 2
Lineage II: Revolution
Black Desert Online
EVE Online
Final Fantasy XIV

is the list.

Yrag-terenas · December 9, 2018, 12:07pm

CBS Sunday, December 9 5-6 PM EST

Shadowy-shadow-council · December 9, 2018, 10:25pm

It’s going on now FYI. I was watching NFL and was in another room, When I came back it was on so I’m just going to watch it. Pretty cool tbh, I don’t play any other games besides WoW and League of Legends, so it will be cool seeing graphics, gameplay, etc of other games. I suggest if your bored to tune in!

Withpuppys-nazgrel · December 9, 2018, 10:28pm

bfa won best mmorpg

Shadowy-shadow-council · December 9, 2018, 10:29pm

Lies or truth…? It’s on in the background, but I’m just casually reading forums and doing other stuff, I missed it? Be truthful

Withpuppys-nazgrel · December 9, 2018, 10:29pm

Shadowy-shadow-council · December 9, 2018, 10:35pm

Tony Hawk FTW! Inventor of the 900 - and one of the best Vert Skaters of all time. Cool to see him reppin’ Gamers!

Cyouskin-stormreaver · December 9, 2018, 10:36pm

I wonder how these are voted on?

I’d much rather prefer a system similar to this: "5-3-2-1" (Up to 4 votes, first choice gets 5pts, second choice gets 3pts, third choice gets 2pts and fourth choice gets 1pt.)

From here, we’d get a better breakdown of actual scores along with total votes.

I do think BFA had a good shot at winning due to shear popularity of WoW. Sure, BFA isn’t the best version of WoW, but BFA is pretty average for WoW…and average WoW is still a pretty good game.

Gunny-earthen-ring · December 9, 2018, 10:39pm

It sold a lot of copies, and isn’t that what really counts?

anon45270925 · December 9, 2018, 10:42pm

Fallout 76 sold alot of copies too… now look at it.

Cyouskin-stormreaver · December 9, 2018, 10:42pm

Nope.
