You can make the world feel bigger when you design new zones in future content. Stop impeding on our ability to enjoy previous content. I don’t have all day to spend using flight paths/traveling.
STOP. MAKING. UNNECESSARY. CHANGES. Leave this stuff alone. Organizing portals makes sense, just don’t take them away.
Every little step in the right direction is immediately followed by you guys asking, “Hmm… this is a good principle, how can we make this happen, while also pooping in the mouths of our players?”
Hundreds of people did exactly that over the last week, and it was all ignored anyway. Let’s not pretend all the feedback they got was from raging, overreacting forum goers.
But, far as I can tell, you’re still ditching the portal to Caverns of Time, a portal that’s been part of the game longer than it hasn’t been. Correct me if I’m wrong but there’s been a CoT portal for ten of WoW’s fourteen years. It’s a little late now to take it away and not piss off your customers.
And that’s just one of the portals you’re removing for no good reason.
Blizzard?? You mean the misdirecting players that make a mountain out of a mole. Welcome to the 10 second attention span generation that gets distracted over nothing, when there are world changing events happening as we chat. This has been blown way out of proportion.
I agree with their update and I hope they clean up portal access.
If you like spending time in flight, spend time in flight. What possible difference to you does it make for other players to not spend a chunk of their playtime watching an unskippable cutscene that they have seen before and didnt enjoy before being able to actually play the game.
CoT has Uldum close by, so that isn’t too bad. Is there a portal to any location in Northrend? Wyrmrest is rather central or old Dalaran, but OD that might be weird, will there be a portal to anything in Northrend? Karazhan is close to the portal to WoD Blasted lands.
Northern EK is troublesome but there isn’t much of a reason to head outside of a personal thing. No raid really. We never really needed to head up there prelegion, not much of a reason post legion IMO. Alliance can get to central Kalimdor with the TP machine to Rachet in Shrine, we only have a portal to Jade Forest though. The Shrines would probably be better.
No, but thats what the people complaining in this thread sure seem to want. Also, people were asking for easier gearing and complaining about ninja-looting Guild Masters in the forums which lead to that change. You must just not have read those posts. I did. There were a lot of them. In other words, the community isn’t always right.
you already compared and linked your own youtube video with vanilla vs bfa.
last thing you could tell anyone here is how “your” feedback is good and the rest invalid because the people here has more passion for the game than the dev’s that created this game and lost their passion for the game year after years.
The time for sugar-coated feedback is over when the people you are speaking to are willfully ignoring your first, 5,000 response strong feedback attempt in a bad faith attempt to make it look as though the initial response never happened and that they are listening attentively.
They actually lied about flight in WoD. They said it would be in, then took it out without telling anyone. Then they had to back track and add it again, via a time gate, just to be mean to us. And until they get a new dev lead, they will continue to gate it.
The more irritating one for me that doesnt even make sense is the portal going into the temples in MoP.
Now you’ll have to port into north eastern Jade forest area and fly all the way over to the far west end of the land mass to run Throne of thunder.
Its just pointless, sadistic waste of time for NO GOOD reason.
I don’t play horde. I play Alliance. I am also a mage, have been a mage main since Vanilla. But I also play a lot of other classes. Now the thing is when I do play Horde there is a lot to look at now. For example with Undercity gone, what Eastern Kingdom portal is there for the horde? Stonard from Mages, item use for Kharazan, Twilight Highlands and a boat to the very south of the entire continent. If you have access to Arathi rares then you can port to the north. But that’s it. With the Dalaran portals it was so very nice to just have options to cut time.
Of all the portals to cut, please do not cut the new Dalaran portals. Leave those in the game! As a mage I have freedom to go anywhere. As any other class I will want to play them less because I don’t want to spend 15 minutes to get from Org to Blackrock Spire for a mog run. Forget it! Not everyone who plays a mage wants to be bothered to create a portal to a location. Especially if Blizzards design choice now is to encourage players to pay Mages for portals. The last thing I want to do is be whispered for portals constantly. I’m a low pop server so I doubt this will be the case for me. Also because I don’t hang out in main cities. I go places. I have that luxury because the world is accessible.
There is so much you can do in this game and the ease of access is fantastic for all this side content to be done.
Please, just leave in the Dalaran portals. The Paw’don portal is lame as well. But it really seems this change was made to force people who want to play others games to just go play those games. Why? Because the time it takes to do that one thing in WoW now takes way to much time and if you really want to get in some other activities, it’s better to just go play them now because your time in WoW is considering longer spent auto-flying from location to location. Those 5 portals in Dalaran do so much to keep the content of enjoyment flowing and the removal of them is just bananas.
I never said my feedback was more valuable/right over anyone elses. It was just my feedback and I have a right to voice it as much as anyone else. I linked that because a poster claimed “no one asked for Portal removal before the 8.1.5 PTR patch” and I raised my hand and said “Yes I did”. Now, you can disagree with me. Go make your own YouTube video. You’re certainly welcome to do so.
