World of Warcraft

Primarily if they let you grind it out - it would be something you could get in a day and then unsubscribe. It's also a measure to prevent botting as without the lockouts (and the 5 dungeons per hour lockout) running bots that farm the instances for money/exp/whatever would be an even bigger problem then it is.
Oh right I forgot this whole trashfire of an MMO has a botting issue that they don't want to do anything about.
It's still shit.
Just release the mounts through other means then. Maybe events that happen on a schedule or something. Maybe make it so that when you do content to help others or by doing certain dungeons or something you get tokens that you can use to trade in for those mounts.
You'll get people crying about "but muh hard work 20 years ago" but it's not the 1990s no more.

What does Epoch have over Turtle? I have heard of Epoch for a long while.

Like Turtle, it will be build off the vanilla wow world but with TBC tweaks, talents and abilities. There will be new zones, enemies, quests, dungeons, factions you can join etc.

speaking of enemies, they given them steroids so enemies have more health now to "balance" the new changes. read more on their website.

I wonder what hellbound retard at blizzard thought that the WoW audience craved a tower defense auto battler or that zoomers would be fucking locked into the WoW ecosystem by something like looks like a more-homosexual Clash of Clans.

Looks like this is a pivot from Microsoft

Activision was trying really hard to get Blizzard to become a mobile game factory and they were slowly getting dragged along.
 
lol warcraft rumble got the axe, not even two years wow.
I'm not surprised. I gave that shit an honest try and the only novelty that it had against the competitors was the talent system and the map variety. Somehow despite being based upon Clash Royale and using Warcraft for the aesthetics, it completely failed to make the social/cooperative aspects of the game remotely decent. 15 player guilds where you had to have a guildmate online to do certain PvE activities that gated your progression, 0 ability to matchmake with randoms for said activities. They also gave you leaders, but they're just a powerful unit in your rotation instead of a controllable character like in the long-defunct Force Arena so there's no real gameplay or skill expression to speak of beyond placement and resource management.

Utter waste of a good IP for a game that couldn't even match the qualities of any other game in it's genre. Makes me glad that they abandoned HotS before shitting it up like they've done with every other title.

All this just makes me happy that HoTS is dead so it's corpse cannot get raped any further. The Hearthstone team may be breathing a sigh of relief, but in the next round, it's dead. I was shocked at how little the game made; it doesn't even reach 100 million, and that's before overheads. I would not be surprised if they're making a loss on it now.

Kotick hosed the fuck out of Microsoft, the team involved in the acquisition were probably the most retarded I have seen in terms of acquisition. They did not research the state of the IPs at all, and honestly, I don't even think they looked at the accounts or they were gussied up something proper. I am still astounded by how stupid the entire process was.

Other than the awful model Farin is the more tolerable things of the shitshow of an expansion. I was on my dog walk the other day, and I realized the "content" in this expansion has been nothing. 3 proper zones, and that is it. Undermine was just awful, and the bandage people fucking suck. I have decided I will play infrequently until the Last Titan, but that's it, I'm out after that. The lack of any information on Midnight is surely a sign of a shitshow.
 
How obnoxious is Faerin? Just looking at the character's design annoys the fuck out of me.
Honestly she's not obnoxious to me, she's like a ray of sunshine. I like her but I think her design is all wrong for her voice and personality imo. I'm not saying her character couldn't be sweet but...I remember seeing her in the cinematic where she just looked bad ass and I expected a more rough and wise older lady (I say older but I mean like late 30s to early 40s she sounds like early 20s in game) and was disappointed in her. Idk maybe that's just me.

They retconned the entire Arathi concept pretty late into development. They were meant to be light nazis who has been fighting the nerubians for millennia and were native to the underdark. There are elements of that, but canonically they’ve been there since shortly before Legion. This cinematic was probably ordered for the previous Arathi concept, so we got a more grizzled Faerin.

The millions of built in addict subscribers alone are worth it, and then you have the cash shop mounts coming out every quarter. Blizzard must be making a billion dollars a year just from subs and expac purchases, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The sparkle pony horse - which just need a couple artists, a programmer for the shop interface and a QA tester - apparently made more money than Starcraft 2, a full game that took years and hundreds of devs to make, and then all of the marketing. We all saw the parades of hundreds of $90 Brutsaur mounts through Dornogal last year. It too probably made more money than full box games and all of the costs to develop and market those. Only thing left is to try to migrate the Blizzard userbase over to the Microsoft/Xbox store, and then potentially they will buy even stuff.

Everything else at Blizzard can be cannibalized.

That's interesting to hear, I just figured she'd be annoying as fuck.

Microsoft got what they wanted (Activision and King) and Blizzard was just kind of a "well it's part of the package". I very highly doubt that if Blizzard was a standalone company that Microsoft would have picked it up (as evidenced with how little they've bothered with Blizzard currently).

This is a hideous disgusting female nigger. Go to reddit if you want to post this kind of shit, you clearly support wokeness. There should be zero niggers in fantasy games.

Also a reminder, females aren't warriors. And if you have to do them make them at least White or East Asian, not even male niggers want female niggers.

People who still give Blizzard money are simply woke scum.

I have always found her vaguely obnoxious outside of her design but it's getting worse over time. She has an excessive amount of narrative power for just being a standard issue soldier. Her recent short story has made things worse. It turns out that she's infused with the Arathi version of the Light itself because her ancestor was a super special half-elf queen. This gives the shitty writers the justification to keep her in the story going forward and give her more positions of power.

They're doing the thing where they try to bend the lore around her to make her seem more important to the story than she should be at this point in her involvement. It (personally) feels very unearned and forced. They're also foreshadowing a relationship between her and everyone's favorite(?) perfect pure boy Anduin. Of course, Danath fucking Trollbane is calling her the future of the human kingdoms in the latest questline that contained the terrible cutscene.

I really, really hate being a lorefag. It's the worst.

Congratulations, humans. Please welcome your new faction leader and future queen of the alliance.
