WoW Dev Team Bigger Than Ever Before, Already Has Next Expansions In Mind

<< LINK REMOVED >> 5G's every three years? Either you don't know what you are buying and you don't know how to upgrade or you just buy branded computers like Alienware and stuff like that. Plus you don't need that kind of machine to play WoW. I play it with a laptop sometimes, using the onboard graphics card.

@Psycaustic Um, no. As someone who played WoW for 9 years, no. As terrible as the game is, consoles still cannot handle the level of gameplay, voice chat, or otherwise communication needed for a good mmo.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Hating on Nintendo is also pretty cool

<< LINK REMOVED >> they'd have to overhaul the combat even further, not to mention the interface. Seriously, you can play WoW using a ps3 or xbox 360 controller right now, and tell me thats a game you want on console...

<< LINK REMOVED >> Those 'patches' are alot bigger than a xbox/ps4 release would be to me. game would be unplayable on any of those, and that ''patch'' increases the max level, adds a huge new continent (Bigger than most mmos are as a whole), a bunch of dungeons, garrison system, new open PVP area, will come with added raids through the course of the next year, new character models, change the raiding structure (Flexible normal and heroic raids, change of old heroic to mythic with fixed number of players), item squish, new item system where armors change stats depending on your spec, a group finder for raiding pugs, upgrade to the questing log interface, reduced latency AND a bunch of other features/improvements :D

<< LINK REMOVED >> They want everything going directly through Battle.net and only Battle.net, so that will likely never happen.

Blizzard is already raking in tons of money with WOW. Putting it on consoles wouldn't be worth the effort. Plus, playing WOW on a controller would be ridiculously inefficient.

<< LINK REMOVED >> That's what expansions do. There's no point it's the same game.

<< LINK REMOVED >> As you know, it took millions of dollars to develop a new game that in the end they weren't happy with, so ultimately, pulling the plug was the best option. Fair enough. It isn't the first time a company has done this and it won't be the last. It now seems like they're going to play it safe for awhile and focus on what they have rather than focusing on making something new. It's a smart thing to do. Who knows. Maybe they will be able to inject new life into their current products.

<< LINK REMOVED >> No. They stopped development on their new MMO because they didn't think it was going in a direction which would actually create a fun game people would even want to play. The expansion of the WoW team was a completely separate endeavor and they began hiring for the expanded team when MoP came out, while Titan was still an ongoing project. They stated themselves that the primary reason WoD was delayed was because they brought in so many new designers whom they had to bring up to speed. Dunno why people shit on this game so much. There's only one reason people continue playing a subscriber based game, and that's because it's still entertaining.

<< LINK REMOVED >> How bout just cancelling this sh!t?

<< LINK REMOVED >> This kind of answers is probably why they "fell". They listen and read comments like that all day long. So it gives you a reason to complains about things and to make them more successful for people who still like them. Don't like them? Turn the page, move on and change company and play other games as simple as that. No need to be bashing on a successful company because you are not agreeing with their plans or choices regarding their games.

No pun intended just expressing myself as you do.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Yep... and in the same time a nice moderator chose not to publish my post/personal opinion on that. Ain't life interesting?

<< LINK REMOVED >> Classes have been getting more complicated, more bloated with every expansion pack adding a bunch of new skills.

I do miss the old talent tree though. Free would kill the game with cash shop.

<< LINK REMOVED >> When you buy the game you get every expansion except the last.

They plan on having a little ''training'' for new players using the skipping to 90 feature (a bit like DK I guess)

No one stays low lvl for very long, that's true, but they added CRZ to make the zone feel more populated, it makes you see people from other servers on yours in some less populated areas so you have some people to play with.

Not a waste of met people either because the game works cross server for almost everything.

You know Cata revamped the old content and made lvling A LOT less tedious than before, right ?

<< LINK REMOVED >> Honestly there probably wont be a WoW 2. They have to keep going with expansions to finish story lines and start others, there will be at least 2 more expansions. Then after that, from what I have heard and has been speculated , a Warcraft 4 will be made.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Why start WoW 2 when the first one does so well with very little efforts? And I get the feeling that it's gonna stay for quite some more time because the lack of imagination/vision of the competitors is just so... amazing.

<< LINK REMOVED >> ...You just described the gear treadmill WoW has had since it's creation. Did you seriously not understand what you were getting into when you started playing?
