Notice that he still didn't answer the question.
The removal of flight could work, it could allow blizzard to create more dynamic and innovative content. Problem is they didn't Beta is the same thing as every other expac. Kinda silly that you think taking away flight and adding nothing else to the game is a innovative and creative idea...
Awww it is cute he doesn't know what Bias means. I am going to help the poor little anti flier? (quick question is English your first language?)
bias - To influence in a particular, typically unfair direction; prejudice.
You see the fact that I don't have a massive hard on for WPVP makes me unbiased.
List em I am sure we have shot them down before and someone here will be happy to do so again.
What is wrong with convenience if it does nothing to effect gameplay?
You are also biased because you have a massive hard on for WPVP that is obviously depriving your brain of oxygen.
Then why have you continued to play this convenient abomination of WoW for close to 8 years... Oh that is right because flying didn't have a negative effect on your gameplay.
So when flying returns (cause it more then likely will) we can expect all you anti flight people to just quit the game? I hope so.
Well lets see we had flying at max level at the peak of the games popularity and subs... the community didn't start to degrade until group finder ... so whats your point?
OMFG I haven't been playing a MMO for years.
Ok looks at what we have here is another anti flight person with trouble with definitions. It happens and I am happy to help.
A massively multiplayer online game (also called MMO and MMOG) is a multiplayer video game which is capable of supporting large numbers of players simultaneously. By necessity, they are played on the Internet. MMOs usually have at least one persistent world, however some games differ.
A role-playing game (RPG and sometimes roleplaying game ) is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting.
Well lets look at those two definitions... Yep WoW is still a RPG w/flight.
That statement shows a great deal about the state of mind of the typicall anti flight person.
Although I doubt it will be that bad it is going to be close.
Couldn't agree more
Nope and it would seem if you spend time here and other threads that many people have asked for a refund on their pre order of the expac to my knowledge that has never happened before even in MoP where the pandas had a great deal of hate.
I really want to know how many of those 1.5 million pre orders had to be refunded.
Pretty much I hate to be proven right at the exspense of the player base. However Blizzard seems to want to make sub costing mistake again and again.
And Group Finder is going where? Oh that is right no where.
I will say this I would be blind to not see how LFR/LFD had negative effect on the community. That being said however giving people the ability to play the dungeons w/out having to sit in a captial city hours on end looking for a group is a good thing for the player base.
WoW was successul because it was far more accessible then the other MMOs on the market to your average player base. Over the years that game has become more casual along with its aging player base.
You want the casuals to go away you are going to have a game with less then 1 million subs.
Some did and some didn't. The people who just sat in capital cities the removal of flight isn't going to have much of a effect.
To the people that were actually out in the world doing things.. it is going to drive the majority of them to the capital cities to que.. or just not play.
Didn't know they had a group finder in classic interesting.
I think you will find the majority of players will be like that. Unless of course the litter the open world with epics even then it won't last long.
There we have what it is litterally all about. It has nothing to do with improving player experience or making the game more fun.
I think his reading comp needs some work maybe. Or possibly english isn't his first language?
That is like asking water to not be wet, or the sun not to be warm.
Yah pretty much.
yah I always thought a expac was suposed to move the game forward not try to thrust us back to the days of Vanilla.
Or maybe just maybe ... he like so many others don't find riding through an area for the 100th time on your way to a objective to just be dimounted by a mob that poses no threat, challenge or reward to be fun or compelling game play.
Or to make it so once the non instanced max level content is complete. Things like dailies (weekly now), pet battles, gathering archeology etc etc are much less tedious.
Tedious tasks that were much less tedious and sometimes fun w/flight.
Fantastic post. The anti flight people and Blizzard would ignore cause it doesn't fit with their narative.
I liked doing dailies, archeology, pet battles, gathering etc etc... W/out flight it turns into a tedious mess.
He won't answer it. That is his master debate tactic to cherry pick posts and never answer the tough questions.
1. Forcing player choice in garrison is very poor design. So much for customization huh?
2. Vanilla was new and exciting it was often the first MMO that people ever experienced...
3. Danger .. uhmm yeah not so much. I think what you mean to say is annoying. Level 92 beat the hell out of a level 100 mob a video was posted earlier.. what is this danger you speak of.
4. Exploration .. ok I will concede that although I wouldn't like it the removal of flight till the first content patch is fine because of that. Problem is when you have seen it and done the content you are left with dailies (weekly) archeology, pet battles, gathering etc etc... Those things are going to be more dynamic and fun w/out flight? Not so much.
5. The only reason TI had any level of success is because it was littered with epics.
6. I hope Blizz does cave before or on 6.1 as far as your rares .. you know they only drop loot once now right?
Things like archeology, pet battles, dailies (weekly), gathering etc etc are already tedious tasks the with flight were much less tedious and could even be fun. Do you really think taking away flight is going to get more people out in the world doing them?
Wow that took a bit of time.
The bottom line is this Blizzard isn't removing flight to benefit the player. This is a move to make the Devs jobs easier and to possibly save them some money.
I have played some of beta on my friends account.
He was a big advocate for no flying as he said it would allow blizzard to create my dynamic and innovative content. Since he has been playing he has changed his position to if flying isn't returned in 6.1 he is quitting.
I dont' think to many people want flight while leveling when the majority of content is consumed. I never really complained about lack of content, I do however wish blizzard would release content faster.. but never complained about it.
