This isn’t accurate. Sure it doesn’t have other playable races, but it absolutely does have combat, and with combat comes death.
I understand your trepidation here, but in all honesty I’m more worried if they can actually do it without all that stuff you fear. The gaming world has changed so much from the ideals Dreamhaven wants to return to that I’m not entirely sure it can go back to that and all they are doing is setting themselves up for failure.

“Warcraft and Fortnite.”
lmao.
LMAO.
any game you can buy that gets the whole experience with the base-price, does’nt have a cash shop, and is high-quality, is gonna be a success. atleast, that’s how i feel about it.
but when a game is online, constantly gets updates and new content… i get suspicious. every time i’ve seen that, the game always gets microtransactions somehow, whether it be cosmetics, or (in the case of minecraft) personal worlds.
…god, i miss the days of buying a game, and getting the game…

You realize the whole ‘getting the complete game’ is a myth right? When you buy a game, you get the game. DLC is content that was cut from development. Back in the ‘old days’ you would never have gotten it in the first place.
you realize i’m talking about way, WAY back in the day before dlc was a thing, right? like, n64-era? sure, the games were a bunch of polygons, but atleast you got the whole dang game!
I saw the trailer for it and watched a video about it. Sounds like something I will enjoy playing. I bookmarked their page and signed up for alpha (which I probably won’t get because I never get picked for those things).
But, it’s not going to kill WoW because it’s not even the same type of game. I think it will be very popular though.
This game looks like it has great potential for me. The things I like about WoW are customization, exploring, and collecting things. The things I don’t like about WoW are the combat, end game, and lack of player housing.

Yeah, and what I said still applies.
Take the game Anno 1800 for example. That game has 7 DLC packs which add more content to the game. However without any of those packs the game is ‘complete’. You have a full game experience there, both in multiplayer and single player.
All that DLC was stuff that the developers wanted to include but couldn’t due to scope or a number of other reasons, so ‘back in the day’ all of it would have stayed on the cutting room floor and would never have seen the light of day. Now developers can take that cut content after development has wrapped and can fashion it into DLC packs, allowing players to have more content for the games they like.
dude… the majority of games back in the day did’nt have dlc. i get it, some did, but not the majority. those were complete games. paper mario did’nt have dlc, ocarina of time did’nt have dlc-
now that i think about it, i probably should have said ‘console games’ or… the majority of games.
…on the plus side, i learned dlc started back in 1997 so… that’s nice.
also, stuff being on the cutting room floor isn’t always a bad thing. like, they were planning on giving undead players immunity to certain status ailments in classic, but decided against it cause it would be overpowered (i know, weird example, but had to use it).
needs more ultraviolence
graphically it reminded me of a switch game.
idk what to think just yet.
I know, maybe you’re not understanding the point I’m making though.
Back in the day games didn’t have DLC, all the content that ‘could’ have been turned into DLC ended up on the cutting room floor. Mind you that’s not ‘small pieces of content’ like say an ability for undead in WoW. I’m talking entire quest chains, characters, game features, locations etc.
Now that content that would have ended up on the cutting room floor is turned into DLC to give folks more content for the games they enjoy playing.
Here’s a good example for you.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2. That game was supposed to have an entire planet added to the end-game and a completely different ending, but the developers of the game (Obsidian Entertainment) ran out of time and they couldn’t finish testing the content before the game was due to launch so they had to cut it. They couldn’t leave the game unfinished though, so they quickly threw together an ending for the game, walled off the unfinished (but mostly complete) stuff and the game launched.
We got what you would call a ‘complete game’ from that. There was no DLC for it. We only know about this cut content because modders got into the game files and found it.
Now we’ll never see that content officially released by Obsidian, not unless Knights of the Old Republic 2 gets a remake, but IF that game had launched today instead of back in December 2004, that content would have been turned into a DLC pack, giving players more content to explore within the KOTOR 2 universe.
“wow killer” ? don’t make me laugh , it’s a glorified animal crossing
I mean outside Mythic Raiding WOW is pretty much glorified animal crossing.
i get what your saying.
i mean, i enjoy what dlc HAS given us over the years too (frikkin fallout new vegas, old world blues? mmm!) but like…
i dunno, but i miss back in the day when it did’nt feel like companies were intentionally cutting things out of the game to sell back to us as dlc.
when we could go down to the store, buy a game, and just… enjoy it, without someone coming along and saying ‘hey! your missing this part of the game! better shell-out some cash to get the complete vision of it!’ y’know? or when dlc was free (halo 2 map pack) and it felt like the company was apologizing for forgetting content ‘hey, we forgot to add these maps to the game, sorry about that folks, these ones are on us.’.
They don’t do this.
This was BS created by disgruntled fans. Neither game developers nor publishers deliberately cut content from a game so they can ‘sell it back’ later. It doesn’t happen. Even Day 1 DLC consists of content that was ‘almost’ complete but ended up getting cut, and it was finished during the period between when the game went gold (meaning that it was ready to be put on physical media and shipped) and when the game launched.
i think they do. i’ve seen the fallout 76 videos, i’m pretty sure some game companies cut-out content to sell back to the players, under the umbrella of providing ‘convenience’. not all, but… some.
side question, if they have to ship a game, and it’s not ready… why would’nt the game company just delay it until it’s ready?
Why does everything need to be a WoW killer?
Looks like Wildstar. Will definitely give it a shot .
