Would you quit WoW for a Diablo mmo?

[Deleted]

Nope. Wouldn't even install it to check it out. Diablo is shit, Diablo MMO would be even shittier.

[Lollis]

No. Unless diablo MMO manage to maintain at least 5 million subscribers "which is impossible since MMO are no longer a valid business model" then profit does matter.

You are just pulling numbers out of thin air. The fact is that they need to make a decent profit margin and what that margin amounts to we cannot possibly know, but to suggest that they couldn't pull in the required numbers is just silly. Blizzard are arguably the most renowned game developer in the world, people would flock to a Diablo MMO just as they have to every other Blizzard game.

I'll quit WoW over any other Blizzard MMO. Knowing Blizzard it'll have similarities that WoW has. I'm at the point now where I like no other MMO but WoW, but even then I feel the burnout of it.

If its anything like diablo 2 sure...

[dev'olution]

Isn't Diablo 3 already an MMO?

There are tons of players and you can play with them? Games like World of tanks are considered MMOs and other small party FPS.

Is it not already?

UO was a 3d isometric game... It was an MMO

Four people in one gameplay experience is not what you'd quantify as massively multiplayer online.

diablo mmo would be exactly like wow now just with a darker theme.

[Osmeric]

No. I've never even bothered to play any edition of Diablo.

I would jump ship, yes. Diablo has potential as an MMORPG as long as the writers don't juggle with lore and retcon everything. Anyways, I would only give it a go if Blizzard drops the cartoony style for something more to my tastes. WoW feels stale, so a Diablo MMORPG would feel fresher to me.

[prwraith]

I'd only leave for a game like wow but with an actual writing staff.

In short...No not for a diabloverse.

[Triggered Fridgekin]

Diablo occupies the same kind of "medieval fantasy" setting as Warcraft so I'd be more on board for a futuristic StarCraft MMO FPS if only to get a fresh perspective which isn't done as often.

Think Space Hulk: Deathwing but less shit and more open.

[tumppu]

I'd try it, but would not quit wow over it. Now, if they made a sandbox type single player RPG based on Diablo, that would be hella cool.

[Lollis]

I didn't pull numbers anywhere.

All I said that MMO are a bad investment and Blizzard would be smart to avoid taking high risks with diablo and Alienating half their community between two games.

Sorry but I gotta say that the whole Idea is dumb and I would never approve it if I was a blizzard officer.

No. Unless diablo MMO manage to maintain at least 5 million subscribers "which is impossible since MMO are no longer a valid business model" then profit does matter.

Sure looks like number pulling to me.

[Grenzstein]

No. I like Warcraft lore too much to invest in another MMOG.

[Thage]

I'm good enough at time management that I could roll with both, so no need.

Unless Blizzard is ready to toss WoW in the bin and completely give up on it there is no way they are spending the money and time it would take to make another mmo that would have to compete with their own game. Nevermind the fact that WoW is still a money making beast for them even with the mmo market dying off. With the genius of the tokens they now have found a way to get people to play WoW and in some form pay for it so they can use tokens to get other games or features at a mark 25% mark up.

Not necessarily. By all accounts, the main reason they scrapped Titan and recovered the assets for Overwatch wasn't that they weren't willing to run two MMOs at once, but because they couldn't make their vision for Titan work. That wouldn't necessarily preclude a Diablo MMO if they felt they could find a vision for it that would work; if anything it would probably mean more happy gamers as WoW can continue with its lighter storytelling and Diablo can pick up the slack on darker storytelling that's notably scarce in WoW overall.

[TheFirstOnes]

Ehe.

No. I wouldn't. As if Diablo was a good RPG to begin with, in which it isn't.

[Stormspellz]

Yeah, but the bosses are tired and worn out. I mean, I guess the same could be said for Warcraft. It just feels a little cringey knowing that "2.0 Rise of Diablo! Face him in the new raid... Hell!" would definitely be a thing. And then 3.0 Baal, and so on and so forth.

Meh, like I said, I'd still play it.

You are thinking in the theme park style of wow, a true open world sandbox "world of sanctuary". Could easily have heaven/hell be overarching aspects like sargeras has been for most of wow. and just focus on the world, you know back to mmo roots, less menucraft more world

People are also assuming Titan was a MMO. Almost nothing is really known about it. The one thing they have clearly said with Titan is the communication completely broke down on the team and people stopped working together so things failed. If Titan was going to be a MMO that means they wasted 2 years and millions of dollars on a game that failed to launch. Mix that in with the decline of MMO's over all and you can't seriously think they would be actively wanting to create another.

[papajohn4]

I hate isometric camera games like diablo, path of exile etc But if the make it a normal open world MMO, but darker than wow and pegi 18+ I am in..

[Jaylock]

I would love a diablo pseudo mmo like the division. Open world, 4 player party, some multiplayer areas, dungeons and such.

would rather have a potential diablo mmo be dark and grity but exactly like wow in game play / mechanics. The key is it would be a whole new world to explore based in the diablo universe with diablo classes.

I wouldn't quit WoW but i would subscribe to both in a heartbeat.

Maybe a $20 a month option for access to both MMOs

[Neudgae]

I already quit WoW but I would resub to quit it again
