WoW coming to next gen consoles

Dawnspirit-wyrmrest-accord · February 12, 2021, 10:01pm

They have, but let’s be for real. Activision is probably looking at FFXIV and going “Our largest competitor in the MMO genre is also on consoles charging a sub fee… that’s money we could be making.”

So it may not happen soon, but my mark words, it’s going to happen eventually.

That’s the joke.

Ughash-sargeras · February 12, 2021, 10:11pm

Not if it’s a 24hr clock

Truecross-blackhand · February 12, 2021, 10:16pm

It’s 1700 somewhere

Ughash-sargeras · February 12, 2021, 10:17pm

Amen it’s currently 1417 where I’m at.

Love the Witt! Haha! You’re quick on the handle :).

nope, it would never work

Truecross-blackhand · February 12, 2021, 10:27pm

It’s DD-214 24/7 where I am

Abilities were unpruned.

Controller support was already explained to you several times with actual links to actual quotes from actual Blizzard employees.

Amazing how that works.

No harm at all… no janky engine, no storage issues, tons of addon and customization support, it’s very cool~

Abilities come and go all the time. They are still striking a balance. How many abilities do you have in your spell book that don’t get used?

Jesminia-stormrage · February 12, 2021, 10:34pm

I’m still waiting for the day that WoW moves to VR. Though, I’m a little concerned that I might not be able to get out off “fire” on time.

Now you are changing your tune, but you are still incorrect. You claimed:

There was no ability pruning in Shadowlands. There was the complete opposite.

Many abilities removed with the mass prune from Legion as well as past expansions are back!

The main philosophy of Shadowlands is class unpruning .
https://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/49360-all-shadowlands-class-changes/

Each class is set to receive an assortment of different changes, according to Blizzard’s recent post. But the overall sentiment is that Blizzard will be taking a step back from the “pruning” process of old.
https://dotesports.com/streaming/news/blizzard-reveals-initial-plans-for-class-unpruning-in-world-of-warcraft-shadowlands

This is why changes were made and why they were unpruning for Shadowlands:

While earning new powers is exciting and a natural part of growth in a role-playing game, eventually we began to butt up against the limits of action bar and accessible keybind space, and many of the tools and perks that had once defined certain classes became increasingly widespread, diminishing class uniqueness. To address this in the past, we made changes to Talents with Mists of Pandaria, and even removed several abilities in Warlords of Draenor. In Legion, alongside the introduction of Artifact weapons, we focused on class identity and carving out a distinct fantasy for each specialization to go along with their weapon. Mechanically, this meant revamps to most of our specializations, removing several long-standing class-wide abilities and adding new spec-specific abilities in the process.

Today in Battle for Azeroth, while specializations have unique and flashy abilities, we’ve heard feedback that in some cases we’ve moved too far away from the core of the class that initially sparked players’ interest when they first created their character. At times, there is more that divides two specializations of the same class than there is that unites them.

In Shadowlands, we want to return to the idea that a specialization is about powering up a specific part of a class’s kit, not narrowing down their toolset.

How many more times do you wish to be incorrect?

Nice reach

Truecross-blackhand · February 12, 2021, 10:45pm

And dodge btw

Svelana-kaelthas · February 12, 2021, 10:59pm

oh hayyyyyyy

Truecross-blackhand · February 12, 2021, 10:59pm

That’s not nice

Sasskei-earthen-ring · February 12, 2021, 11:08pm

Using the console controller will never be optimal that for wow - in comparison to mouse and keyboard. But it still might be viable. Ultimately depends on the controller and the setup.

Playstation controllers as an example - if you use the joysticks for movement and camera control - you’re left with 12 buttons - plus the middle padd.

Up Down Left Right Circle Square X Triangle L1 L2 R1 R2…

I could be doable as a DPS or a Tank… not sure I’d ever want to heal with such a setup.

But - with the way Warcraft end game scene is now - getting into anything higher than say +10 will be difficult.

Truecross-blackhand · February 12, 2021, 11:15pm

That’s a totally valid point.

Lån-sentinels · February 12, 2021, 11:36pm

Please, indulge me. Reaching towards what? Actual facts and quotes of them explaining they focused on unpruning for Shadowlands?

Nothing was dodged except by you. But as we all know, that’s all you are capable of, so I’ll just refer back to my actual facts and quotes to back up exactly what I said, when you have absolutely none to back up your false claims.

I won’t embarrass you further.
