you’re getting a bad game. I’m disappointed in what Blizzard has done with retail too, but I have zero faith in Dreamhaven to produce a decent game. A lot of game studio’s have been created from combined talent, and the first game they come out with just completely destroys the studio because its so bad.
The old game model just doesn’t sell anymore. If Dreamhaven has any hope of making a successful game, it’ll have to be a shooter, a MOBA, or a Fortnite ripoff, none of which probably is a game that us, as oldschool MMO players, are interested in. I wouldn’t get your hopes up.
Not necessarily. Of course, good/bad is subjective, but there are some games that satisfy all this criteria and are quite good.
APEX Legends comes to mind. Different genre, and you could easily argue apples to oranges, but I’ve probably spent around the same amount of time on it as WoW over the past year, so that’s where my perspective is coming from.
Yeah… It would be interesting to see something innovative. But, what would that look like?
You should really do some research around it and the “development team” they have (and I use that term very loosely). This is simply a cash grab from a couple of guys that purchased a bunch of Unreal assets and put them together in a couple of videos. I would be very surprised if you ever get an Alpha out of it, let alone a game.
Gotta choose between sub and micro transactions.
Unless you wanna play a single player game and be the host.
But a game that asks for the game base, asks for a sub and use money form both to create items (which you already paid for) to sell you back is whitout a question immoral.
After classic wrath, ashes of creation should be releasing around that time. Retail is so far gone at this point with how out of touch the development/activision team is. Just enjoy the game for what it is while it lasts. With activision influence growing on how to monetize this once great game (ie. https://kotaku.com/call-of-dutys-latest-microtransaction-is-a-tiny-red-dot-1831487105), we could very well be in the last hoorah of wow. Enjoy it while it lasts.
