If bfa is in the state it is in / was released in due to the fact that your pumping most of your resources into a mobile game for Warcraft I swear to god you will probably lose the rest of your player base.
I GREW UP WITH BLIZZARD NOT THIS ACTIVISION, SCREW YOUR CORPRATE GREED.
BFA is pretty good. I haven’t played WoW in awhile and am having a lot of fun. More likely you’ve played the game so long it’s just dull to you.
I would play WoW mobile too. Because i spend more time at work then I do at home.
The article mentioned an “incubator” department, meaning this isn’t the same team that’s developing the base game.
Also, wouldn’t you want be able to pet battle outside of the game? I might actually do pet battles if I didn’t have to be sitting at my PC to do it.
What are the downsides?
I think that it would be more to do with battle pets than anything else wouldn’t it?
I would probably use it at work, i use the companion app quite a bit and miss the mobile AH
I mean with Pokémon GO you do not need to buy anything to enjoy it. I like it and both my wife and I would enjoy a Warcraft GO
It’s a suggestion I’ve seen on the forums quite often.
Sometimes I think we don’t realize just how big Blizzard has become and how many individual games they’re capable of spending time on. When WoW launched, they were at about 300 people. They’re currently around 6,500.
Mobile is certainly an area where they could provide additional entries. Some of which we might even try out. I don’t spend a lot of time on mobile games–they seem to want to spend their days sucking my wallet dry. I’m not really in favor of that.
Resources are not being drawn away from any one area to support another, as always there’s a separate team on every project. They may share common assets and graphics, but not pull developers away from their individual projects. Even some of the new unannounced projects are already getting more resources, the Blizzard employment page even shows that.
I personally don’t really care. I probably wont play it but it doesnt mean it cant be made. Just as long as the quality of the games I do want/do play dont go down to allow the creation of the mobile games.
Diablo Immortal has a special level of hate specifically because its a NetEase game. Because NetEase games are crap and not even close to blizz quality.
If Blizz did something like that with the WoW mobile game then, yes I will hate it instead of not playing it because of the rep NetEase has earned with me (and earned justifiably!)
That’s not how that works…Resources are always being pulled from somewhere (money, people, time w/e) if it means the company can save a buck, to make 10 bucks. It literally takes 5 seconds to google what’s going on at Blizz right now and what’s going through low end developers minds.
You don’t give enough money. You don’t care enough to Blizzard. You have been replaced.
The pruning. The dumbed down on rails way we quest. The completely absent minded mission table. Etc, etc.
No way this wasn’t related to their mobile push.
Don’t you want to catch a shiny Sylvanas.
I only read a bit about warcraft go, but i imagine that’s what it is, pet battles only. I think it’s fine and as long as they didn’t take away members from the main game and hired on new people then fine go for it.
The mere rumor about this, in combination with Diablo mobile etc… explains perfectly why BFA was what it was.
I will not support any of them personally, its not what i enjoy.
I hope trading its long time hard core supporters is worth gaining those dollars from the soccer moms, cause if they are assuming MMO players will jump just due to the license, they arent that intelligent after all.
I think mobile games are fine, even the infamous Diablo Immortal. And I hope they turn out good.
I don’t play them personally, but many others I’m sure do and it’s a perfectly valid market for games these days. But as mentioned above, no it is not draining resources from WoW. Different teams, different projects. They have no impact on each other.
I will not play your mobile crap BIizz
You do realize that they can hire more resources without pulling from other groups, right?
Do we get to catch Garrosh in some sort of container using alliance flags as bait?
Gotta catch em Thrall…
I mean all. Gotta catch em all.
Pretty good is definitely not how I would describe this expansion
