What would it take to restore your confidence in Blizzard?

I said for PvE, not the cities.

Last I checked, even Siege of Orgrimmar doesn’t actually have the summoning stone for it anywhere near Orgrimmar.

BoDA’s is still outside the city as well and the portal into it is walking into a wall.

Ah I thought you meant faction barrier is removed unless you’re flagged for PvP, thus making all PvE content (including overland questing) available for both factions.

I mean, I would include that…

Just gonna be a bit awkward when the orc player tried to quest in Darkshore to help the Night Elves and ends up being that meme from American Gods of the guy getting filled with arrows.

I really just wanted a haircut.

Gnome Fro is discussed in quest text. How many other hairstyles are discussed in the game? It’s canon. Give me the Gnome Fro Blizz.

Wow this sure became an overflowing toilet

Anyway

What would it take? I think Blizzard would have to be Blizzard again and not a growth on the rear end of Activision. That’s not to suggest Blizzard was always all love and goodness and peaches but I think many would agree that much of its modern evils can be traced back to that acquisition.

It would take Blizzard trying, really trying, to make amends for the numerous ways it has abused the trust of its subscribers. It would mean, if not always making the best game possible, then at least showing humility, taking feedback more seriously and showing its players respect not just as customers but as human beings whose love of the company’s past efforts, its entire culture and aesthetic, are what helped raise it to prominence.

But everyone knows that’s not happening. Ever.

I don’t think I’d play WoW2 at this rate, not if it was a Blizz/Activision endeavor. Which, perhaps, it won’t be since the playerbase has declined by 29% over the past 3 years while profits rise up.

The whole thing of replacing your nice brick house with a much larger house made of cards.

The cards fall, Bobby cashes out and BAM! WoW2, by Blizzard: a Disney games studio production.

Why would I play WoW2 when they can’t even handle WoW1 anymore?

You’re in luck, she is actually an NPC in Maldraxxus, known as “Decimator Olgra”.

One thing that comes to mind in 2021: I know this is an incredibly small complaint for most, and I definitely think not many people would necessarily get a use out of this, but here goes:

Can you guys for the love of the Light finally connect the regions?

For some very strange reason Blizzard games do not allow you to play cross-region with ease, despite many other MMORPGs on the market allowing said switch. FFXIV is going to have a data center hopping service where you can visit other regions with ease. I played SWTOR for almost a decade before some of my friends said that many people now hang out on the US RP server to have a “mega RP server,” and my entire legacy was copied over from my EU server to US by just moving one character across. And what I unlock on one is now immediately copied on the other going forward. ESO isn’t connected, but as far as I remember it allows you to use one ESO Plus for both mega servers.

Can you guys finally arrive with the rest of us in 2021 and at least enable cross-region transmog unlocks? Hell, I’d pay you at this point to do it like SWTOR - transferring one character between an EU license and an US license copies over the mount journal, pet journal, toy box and transmog tab if it is on the same battle net account.

I like RPing on US from the EU because I am a Night Owl fairly often and there’s unique RP events to each server. WoW just seems ten years behind on server technology here. They sometimes cite legal issues, but other games have far more comprehensive cash shops to spend money in. And btw, the WoW token is already disabled cross-region. I can’t buy US tokens from the EU to turn into balance.

This may sum up the entire argument.

WoW is not keeping up with newer games in gameplay, development, features, storyline believability, viability, replay value, graphics and just about every other category. We’re all still here for nostalgia and because we loved/liked what the game was in Vanilla, LK, Pandaria and Legion.

Well, this breaks eventually. It just did for me when I saw the price for character clones in TBC.

Charging me $35 for what amounts to a simple SQL query to keep my character on both TBC and Vanilla? Per character, potentially? Listen, $15 might be acceptable for what you’re doing here, but I’m essentially paying what buys me a new indie game like Subnautica next week just to keep a character I already had on both versions.

Yeah, no. That’s absolutely insane and killed the last goodwill I had left.

The character clone service costs $35. That will enable you to play your old character on the Classic servers and get a copy to progress on TBC. I wrote “potentially” for per character because I am not sure it is that - the article references “your character” (singular) several times. So until that is confirmed, I am saying potentially.

So you can either activate the character in TBC or on Vanilla servers. Want to do both? That’s forty bucks dude.

and give Genji one more auto attack talent on another tier for funsies, Way of the Shimada was an interesting and welcome option against teams not susceptible to Genji’s usual burst

$70.00 for the promo set is a lot :exploding_head:

I was considering it for the mount but not anymore haha. I did read a summary of Blizz’s earnings and tldr there is a lot of reliance on TBC classic to bring in people and it seems these cash grabs for mounts and toys and boosts confirms it.

Either way I still look forward to playing cursed N64 Juspion in classic but my primary interest is just experience vanilla WoW but as a big blue boi
