Do you think GC went to Wildstar like the rest of the development team?

Thank you Snorlax, you are a very wise Pokemon. Seriously though, that's very true. I really enjoy the fact that they're not trying to be the "WoW killer" They're just trying to create a awesome MMO that they themselves actually want to play.

To which I hope Destiny does well also. Not fun having a bunch of WoW like games. If I wanted WoW then I would play it.

I like wildstar because it's more cartoony + moar tits. But in the end the too-cartoony atmosphere will scare the players away, maybe some will stay for the tits.

Wow combines the seriousness or a vicious world with the comfortable feel or a cartoony atmosphere. And that will never change no matter the tits. I hope lawl.

Hyped more than ESO is that's for sure

But that's because everyone except of people that deliberately ignore facts know how big of a fail ESO will be.

As for the 40 man raids, we don't know if these will be actual, hard, instanced raids. Could just be some more complicated world bosses. Or it could be something like WoW's Wintergrasp or Tol Barad. 20 man raids should be what they focus at. And I'm sure they will switch to 20 man model when it turns out 40 mans are not as popular as they expected.

I also don't understand why people are going "THEY WANT TO MAKE THIS GAME LIKE VANILLA WOW". They never said that. They said they want to capture the unique feeling vanilla WoW had. Its social aspect. Not make this vanilla WoW in space. I'm sure they are as well aware as we are that vanilla WoW was a bad game. Now I'm not into beta but after watching a lot of gameplays I can say they are doing a good job at it.

Unsure if this topic even belongs within the general wow discussion, who knows. As well, rumors is not really a source.

And so what if they did? Blizzard switches teams a lot, and some running on project contracts. It is possible, though still, waiting on a source to be updated on the first post of the OP.

I don't see why anyone would want to work on Wildstar, I've been in the beta, it's WoW in space with GW2 combat. The devs even said: "At one point you will have to become invested in the game if you want to do any of the cool stuff."

Yeah, fuck that, I've had my pre-BC and BC grind/life sink gaming experience, getting reputation for 15 million factions just to get a key which would allow me to grind more reputation so I could get one item which would allow me to grind raids to grind ever more items, repeat to infinity.

They can keep their monthly fees and their "we want to bring back "rewarding" MMOs for those who invest time in them" mentality. This is 2014. Many old school MMO players are burned out with this system, and are looking towards MMOs who feel more like games instead of second lives, which WoW devs have realized and have adapted to, otherwise this game would probably have even less players today.

10 minute raid buffs and 5-6 different potions/elixirs/flasks combinations requirement every raid night multiple nights a week, woo hoo, yeah no.

Also, it's tacoS not taco's learn to spell ffs.

SO I take it you dislike WOW as well. It is cartoony and then next expansion is based on aliens.

[Csnyder]

DO you think GC is going to Wildstar like many of the other WOW dev team. I have heard rumors that 17 people have left WOW for Wildstar.

he announced where he was going the same day he announced he was leaving
we already know where he went

The last several pages have been more about Wildstar and random stuff than about Greg Street so this will be closed.

It's not surprising really because Street has already indicated that he's not going to another MMO like WoW. Whether or not that's true remains to be seen. In any case this is really no longer about the topic--not to mention the topic was misleading to start with since 'the development team' went there nine years ago--and there are more and more posts that could be infracted for game bashing so instead of doing that we'll close it up.
