If FF14 fixed a few things with pvp I would be there and never look back.
What meta has changed? BFA was RMX and Jungle has this changed this patch?
they gave up in wod and left it while they worked on legion and they did the same thing with bfa. for a game that charges an expansion box price and a sub fee im not sure how i feel about that. ooops we scuffed this expansion/patch oh well we will fix it next expansion/patch
what losses
???
blizz isnât losing money lmfao
we all keep paying for this game in spite of the 10 people inside this little village that cry about it
blizz is fine, thereâs no âlossesâ to cut
Last season of BFA it was all locks, fire mages, sin rogues and DH. This season it is fire mages, sub rogues, rets, druids, and warriors. Next season it will be hunters, sin rogues, locks, frost mages.
They made 7% profit in a pandemic when people had nothing else to do. The industry as a whole made record profits. Not Blizzard though. They canât even make 50% of what candy crush does. Q2 profits absolutely needed the milking of classic players to keep Blizzard relevant.
Something your tiny brain canât comprehend
Theyâre losing steam. Only doing well right now because of boosting and token sales. The subs are plummeting which is Ionâs job and heâs bad at it. Idk why they keep him in charge. Community used to fight against Holinka and now compared to the rest of WoW team, heâs like their only hope for good changes.
They wonât listen. Too busy patting themselves on the back and laughing their way to the bank that we still pay for this mess. If it wasnât for nostalgia and sunk cost fallacies, players wouldnât play this game. Only good part left was the art team and now theyâre leaving too
Exactly right. Honestly the next few expansions should be free for those of us that bought WoD, BFA and SL
Honestly I think shadowlands launch was fantastic and a big part of it feeling so rough now is the content draught.

Shadowlands release has been in release for too long.
Have to wait months into the expansion to get flying and they donât even let you use it in the maw, the new zone, or oribos. Whatâs even the point.
Whoever comes up with these ideas needs to be held accountable. I place my bets on Ion
Locks were this season as well, Druids were last season too, As were mages, Rouges too
so DH is the only one that really had a downfall from meta
I get what you are saying and it does âfeelâ they make one thing good only to make it bad so you can reroll but itâs a limited amount of classes it happens to
Hunter was strong last season as this season ( Jungle)
it was nice they added Turbo to the meta, added variety
I like the direction they want to take in making more specs viable
I donât like the gear progression ( although ) obtainable , not very alt friendly
but back on point the same classes ( expect DH) were meta and still meta with added new flavor ( not a bad thing)
what part of shadowlands launch was fantastic ? the rogues and marks hunters 1 shotting you ? the 1 real viable pvp healer ? was it after the first week after they smoked them and it was fire mage hpal x with fire 100-0 you in 2 globals ? or was it with the wars stalling out any game they were in ? or the rets insta killing people
Shadowlands was the fastest selling PC game of all time.
No idea where youâre getting 7% from
The rest of the industry isnât really selling monthly subscriptions, profit margins are going to appear higher when people are buying $25-$60 games vs starting a 3-month sub, no?
Candy Crush netted approx $470M revenue in 2020
Blizzardâs net income not revenue, alone, last year was $508M
Not really, itâs almost as if Blizzard makes other games
??? lmao???
Thatâs a pretty fried take, were you in their last exec board meeting?
You can google his job description and clearly see it has nothing to do with subs, which would probably fall under marketing but thatâs just a guess
You sound like every facebook boomer talking about how great the reagan years were
okay???
Just because you donât enjoy the state of the game doesnât mean Blizzard is failing as a company, what an absolutely burnt take
that doesnt make it good. the copies were sold from the hype not the quality
Your analogy was terrible
Better luck next time
The rogue/hunter thing was absurd; same with fullmoon convoke but those got fixed within like 1-2 weeks. Ret paladins still doing that now, but is less impactful with gear.
Iâm not sure how pvp was before BFA because i didnt pvp then, but in BFA every serious game was rogue/mage or mage/lock being better than literally every class/comp.
In pve and pvp, there was infinitely more class diversity. In raid thereâs no stacking 10 immunity classes or M+ being pidgeonheld to some combination of 3 rogues and hunters.
For PVP EVERY class/spec saw some play and viability and that was awesome. Also, the pacing is 1000x better than bfa. You can actually punish people for mistakes now.
Sound like a broken record complaining about balance. So many things wrong with this season and everyone has heard it a million times except blizzard since they refuse to change anything
You might not like the game, thatâs fine. But idk, in order for something to be the fastest selling PC game of all time, and to break as many records as Shadowlands did, it has to be a little good, objectively.
