Okay, you are clearly running backwards in terms of trying to understand this- it is not rocket science nor brain surgery- just because it’s not required for a guild doesn’t mean it’s not intended for player enjoyment. Look at island expeditions for example with the PvP bracket, this idea is already in play and can be decently executed.
Also, if a small indie studio can churn out 18 quintillion planets on a procedurally generated universe* while still delivering content without a budget beyond what they received from launch, I’d imagine Blizzard would be able to have that potential as well…? :^)
A small indie studio doesn’t have the over head that blizzard does - it isn’t rocket science or brain surgery ;).
In any case, blizzard isn’t going to do this. You don’t get to dictate their income, if you don’t want to pay the price of new expansions just don’t. You PvP, just keep PvPing in old content.
Again the only thing raiding has going for it now is the social aspect - raiding would die without that. Making raiding into some sort of competition when no one can take a break and enjoy the others they are playing with just will literally burn out people if they were even silly enough to do this.
If the over head you mentioned is their superiors… uhh… well, when I go to any capital city I can tell you that it’s ten times more empty than it was in Legion- so you’d honestly figure that they would be onboard with at least trying to bolster player-ranks and wow- they sure are with this new expansion with new raids, and a new battleground… (LOL.) let’s not forget that we have sets that are not class-specific now, or that the amount of worthwhile mounts have dropped… ontop of the fact that the story is unappealing to most. huh.
shrug If you log on to raid for the social aspect I guess that’s fun- but that’s still a once a week kind of thing whereas you’ll just be doing nothing but grinding mythics for the rest.
See I can tell you don’t even know how most people play the game by this statement.
I play on a few servers and I actually don’t see any of this ‘deadness’ you others see either in the cities or in the world content. I find that real odd to be honest.
"your’ suggestions actually would cause more people to quit this game, I don’t see it as improving it. However, you have been sold them by a good salesman so I can see it is rather pointless discussing it.
It’s rather pointless because you are just deflecting my comments, Blizzard does not disclose player number but from the realms I’ve played on which include Wyrmrest, Norgannon, and Terokkar I can assure you that the count is dwindling since I’ve played on these realms since Cata… lol, and I don’t know how most people play the game… that might be true- I won’t even deny that since I have a vastly different idea of what an MMORPG should be and it’s subjective to everyone else- that’s why instead of just saying something is stupid perhaps someone should change the idea altogether to something they would like to see so we could compare mentalities- if you want the game to stay the same- well that’s okay, as another poster said opinions are opinions- but actually taking the time to explain why is crucial.
Well, I’m sure there some people that think that, as long as it’s brightly colored, shallow, repetitive gameplay devoid of challenge or community is “fun”.
So everyone that disagrees with you is “shallow” and “stupid”, interesting.
Well I disagree. Bellular has had good ideas, you on the other hand have simply complained about the way things are and then complained about people making suggestions. How about we hear some game saving suggestions from you.
I am not sure if this was mentioned, but how about better glyphs, example if I make a Kul’tiran Shaman can I shoot out Water bolts and like an aqua version of Chain Lightning. Just to make it more different.
Thanks, I’ve had this idea for a while. There is so many things they could do if they reworked the glyph system. As an class stand point, they have made so many different spells animations, like an Goblin Elemental Shaman that is more Intune with the earth uses earth spikes as their lightning bolt. Endless things they can do, but will they? Not so sure.
Mmmm, the story was written quite well in actuality, how it is executed by the in game events is less than overwhelming
This ^
I really want you to reconsider this- the old world is static and thus will be boring since it doesn’t have any diversity in the amount of materials, would you be more inclined to possibly settle for world quests ontop of the regular narrative ones? I was talking with a guildie about this and it’d be really interesting to see if Blizzard could phase zones for specific events- that way you could switch to whatever you enjoyed most- be it the current timelines activities or the past on rails quests.
I’m a little on the fence about this- grinding is all well and fine for some things but in my honest opinion they should lessen- if not just eliminate the grind to get flying or reputation mounts that people get anyway, cosmetics grinding though? Split the effort and give a freebie cool set like with the gladiator ones from Legion.
I enjoyed playing in MoP, I enjoyed the story, the PvE, the PvP- but re-adding all of those abilities would break the game for months since their response toward balancing classes is quite slow.
If they honestly made an announcement they’d put in player housing tomorrow… I would write this expac off as the best they’ve ever made lol. I’m not a complex person, I enjoy the simple things in Warcraft.
Cut back on the cut-scenes. Go back to telling the story in the quests, including the dungeon quests. Make a point with raids, not just balls-to-the-wall beating up on some nameless and one or more named baddies only to jump to a cut-scene where someone comes in and takes credit for the kill.
In other words, build a GAME instead of a series of video clips interrupted occasionally by player activity. We want to play the game, not watch your serialized movie.
Though, if they kept the cutscenes and just added more story content as well as more books I would be happier- one of the biggest peeves I have had so far is Torga and how he died while Krag’wa slaps blood trolls left and right without any effort.
World PvP, give us the option to loot dead player bodies of some of their profession stuff. Flasks, ore, herbs etc. Make it hurt a bit more. Even gold.
