World of Warcraft

[Dante Alighieri]

Classic world with all the weird little things filled in with new content would be cool, like something put in Tirisfal that sits left of Deathknell, I want to see the original Quel'Thalas that hangs off the archipelago over Tirisfal, Shatterspear Vale, Hyjal opened up, finish off the Green Dragonflight quests from the Sunken Temple, implement Ashzara Crater, put some quests in Ashzara, put something in the area between Badlands and Redridge that was empy on the map in classic, same with north of Stormwind, give us pre-Worgen Gilneas. an instance in Stormwind where the old portal entrance was and opened up classic Dalaran. I just want classic, 1.12.2, with all of the little areas filled in, given questlines and lore.

Edit: Also I think it would be fun to remake Vanilla entirely but remix it and set it on the Alternate Azeroth from WoD that may or may not exist. Change the history a little in key points and let the world play out to see what comes out in the mix.

I always thought that for a WoW Classic to work was for them to emulate Jagex and Old-school RuneScape, and keep updating the game with "Classic" styled content.

Instead they're just rehashing Retail.

They're far too arrogant to take player feedback.

Edit: There's a currently-unlisted video with new Cash Shop items... and in a bizarre twist of fate, these carry the same theme as the o.g. Store mount, the Celestial Steed.

 

[ZMOT]

whats the point when they just gonna delete your character once the season is over? all that work you put in and for what? so you can brag you beat wow in hard mode?

nah nigga. im good.

apparently you can transfer it afterwards to a normal realm, because where else would you wanna show off your sweatlord title?

also, something I completely forgot: rift did the whole "temporary classic server" thing years ago. so not only was blizzard copying someone else (poorly) again, it might be a taste of things to come.

Loving all the /spits in the comments, as well as the people pointing out how much better this cash shop set looks than the 9.2 "tier sets." One of them even compared them to leveling greens like I did, hah.

And as several commenters pointed out, Blizzard must be really looking forward to Youtube hiding dislikes. When I first loaded it, I could still see the dislikes, then when I refreshed it went away. It's at something like 50 likes and 600 dislikes currently.

Unfortunately for them, unless they also hide the likes or the views, it's going to be very easy to tell how many dislikes a video was supposed to have. The ratio of likes to views is still there, and it won't be hard to code an extension to calculate it on page load.

Anyone considering Season Of Mastery? I am a cuck for considering it for 5 minutes but at this point I can't afford two mmorpgs at once (I'm full on with FFXIV + additional retainers for full fee) and its probably just going to die off fast. I won't lie, I really enjoy classic WoW's gameplay and it wasn't even my first mmo (Ragnarok Online was) but meh doubt I'll be doing it.

I'm very interested to see what kind of meta will emerge will full debuff/buff slots, warlock stacking from the start with a shadow priest? Boomkins possibly? Anyone play on p.servers with "changes" that can reply to this?

I'm playing it. Dunno what it is, I've played it in 2004, multiple pservers, classic wow just a year ago, and I'm back again. Don't like retail, for some reason TBC didn't do it for me even though that was probably the most time I spent playing WoW.

The journey to me is just great. You begin fighting bandits in Westfall as alliance, or expanding the frontier in the Barrens as horde. Really enjoy the humble beginnings.

what I assume are PTR files have leaked. Wowhead's datamining them now.

> Prototype versions of the shadowlands faction leaders are in there, as a raid fight called the Prototype Pantheon. People are comparing them to Bionicles, or 3d printing.

> Artificer Xy'mox, a boss from 9.0, is a boss in the new raid... in 9.2.
> The map for Zereth Mortis has been leaked... it's tiny compared to the other Shadowlands.


That pillar of Azerite-looking material in the background of the shot of Zovaal? Yeah, it's actually Azerite.

Fun fact, a guy doing magni impressions in WoWg was just about to hang up his hat on that when this dropped. He naturally had to follow up.

Context on the maze thing:

People have also decided to reference the "very special water" with Aqua, the useless water goddess from Konosuba.

Now, apparently there was a leak a week ago that they're struggling to find again, that did line up with this so far:

However, I can reassure you, this leak is confirmed false.

























The actual choice for arbiter is so much worse.

You should never, EVER underestimate Blizzard's ability to shit the bed, and by datamining, we have confirmed who will be the new Arbiter:

Confirmed, even with voice lines to back it up.

For those who don't know who Pelagos is... that's understandable. You probably know OF Pelagos, though not by name.


Yeah. That's the one. The literal who Kyrian who's only presence is in a single faction-aligned quest, and only notable for being the transexual one.

[Radola Gajda]

You be the judge:

It is already pathetic when people simps for irl whores.
But it is on another level to simp for fictional character.

Well YT pulled the switch and dislikes are gone, but does social blade or other external sites still track them ?

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

Decided to try PVP on a caster today. I normally only ever PVP on my Hunter or Rogue and holy shit are they ever terrible. Zero survivability, piss poor damage output since there are so many ways to fuck over their casting.

Jesus H. Christ. Just when you think WoW can't get any dumber, they shit the bed a dozen different ways. From a tiny-as-fuck patch zone (looks even smaller than the Timeless Isle) to Rehash: The Raid, to another "gotta sacrifice myself to stop bad thing" ending, it's all manner of stupidity made worse by the fact that it's all shit we've seen before, just even more incompetent.

But then to top it all off, they make a fucking random-ass troon into pretty much the most powerful character in Warcraft, if I'm reading this correctly, in a move that I can only describe as ass-covering of the highest degree. "See how progressive we are? We made a troon into a literal god! Please stop thinking of us as sex perverts, we've changed, we're good allies now"

Remember, if you're still subbed, even if you're only playing Classic, even if you only pay for your sub with tokens (that other people paid money for, don't forget), you're funding this idiocy. You're the reason this shit is continuing.

 

[Buddy Booth]

Wait wait wait, if Pelagos becomes the new world soul does that mean that Azeroth, as in the planet Azeroth, is now technically a tranny?

Edit nevermind, it's just the Arbitranny

 

[Ear]

It's not enough that Pelagos only got to stunning-and-brave on death, 'he' now doesn't even get to enjoy being 'his' true authentic self, but gets turned into a sexless, armoured, inhuman sorting machine.

This is either intentional and some terf is undercover writing the plot, or there are some ~unexamined problematic trans narratives~ floating around in Blizz HQ.

I've always said that at some point something becomes bad enough that you start rooting for it to be as bad as possible, and WoW's story may actually be approaching that mythical "bad as possible"

That or Blizzard are just not smart enough to recognize the unfortunate implications of their own hamfisted pandering.

 

[Well Intentioned]

Troon NPC larping as a male or what the fuck ever. I don't even know anymore.

CIS male voice actor.

K. At this point I'm just hoping for the dangerhairs to start turning on each other and reeing over 'problematic representation' or whatever.

For similar reasons to this, there's people who read this new position as a case of "bury your gays"

Bliz apparently IS capable of changing things in testing and responding to fan feedback, but only if it offends woke sensibilities. Maybe we should start saying that more shitty systems are triggering to POC, then Bliz might stop with that shit.

https://twitter.com/WarcraftDevs/status/1461782076173139970

Warlock set being redesigned because people are triggered by it looking like the KKK.

Strange how only woke shit is triggering. Nothing is ever taboo or removed because all the war in a game might trigger a vet or widow or something. Not saying that shit should be censored. But its weird how only woke PTSD is ever catered to.

did someone even forget to mention that garrosh's cinematic was the most liked one to that anon?
also

but yes, warcraft devs are really far up their own asses to care about players, just like saints row devs as well.
a recipe for disaster, meanwhile we have a thread where the game dev showed up and listened to criticism from a user.

Found a stupider one

this "put yourself in their shoes" talk is what irks me the most, like, nigger, you weren't even there, people that were there suffered and got over it one way or another, this is some legit victimization for manipulation type of thing "if i'm keeping it real" it's literally kikery to try and get off for being a fucking asshole.
