BlizzArd definitely isn’t Paying these stReamers for playIng and giving favorabLe reviews.
Spellbreak was in no way a better version oF PlunderstOrm, i’m glad Blizzard bOught them and kiLled that game and Studio.
There is absolutely nobody who thought that announcement on that timeline was for a cool in-game retail event they could play with their retail characters on patch day.
I hit max level in 3 days and have half a dozen solo wins. It’s actually pretty fire and has a ton of room for counter play and build variety post fire whirl nerf
Taking it seriously, I don’t think plunder storm is a bad Battle Royale, I just think that wow players were not looking for a Battle Royale, and are letting that cloud their judgement of it.
I have a unique perspective on it… because I actually played Spellbreak.
It was hand over fist better than Plunderstorm.
And it was still not that great. Lots of issues that persist in its new WoWified version. But it was way more fleshed out game.
They should have just announced it as a side project and it would have been better received IMO. But having that be the BIG MYSTERY FOR RETAIL is a kick in the nuts for anyone that was excited for some retail content.
