Meh. I'm pretty sick of blizzard right now, and the game is still 3 years away. I hope it will be decent though.

Fixed

[Sargerus]

thats funny, so to WoW be complete they need another MMO?

Atleast they aren't as bad as running on Valve Time(R). I hope it will be decent as well, but I feel like it needs to be different from the typical "oh hey heres an ability, press this button to preform it" cookiecutter form. And if they're trying to make it complementarity, I can't see them charging the same $15/mo, it doesn't seem like a very stable model to follow seeing as how many people who make WoW accounts end up not playing past the trial.

"Sup wow lookin good homie!"
"Yo thanks titan!"

That kind of complement?

Maybe by the time it's out, WoW will be free to play since there was some talk about that a while back. Either way, I don't play WoW anymore but I'm pretty excited about what this new MMO is going to be like. Blizzard rarely disappoints tbh

Yeah right... I want new raid content NOW in THIS game, not some inexact future, cause i am paying 12.99 eur now, every month, not just saying i will pay in maybe 3 years. Its simple, if i dont pay, i cant play. Wonder what made you to bring the decision to postpone firelands for 4.2. (unlike it was planned for 4.1. originally). Speaking about slacking, ICC started coming out of players' ears, as we had almost one year to raid same one dungeon, which never happened until 3.3. (it was always like 5-6 moths max, even between 2.4. and 3.0). If you started lacking on manpower, which havent been a case before, that means you pay less for dev team, thus you should lower the subscription price maybe?

Firelands wasnt delayed. 4.1 will come out sooner than it would have, 4.2 will still be out within a few months (Like it usually is with PTR raids)

“There are over 12 million global paying subscribers that are active in our game. We are not going to turn our back on them and we intend to continue to support that franchise for many many years to come."

^ Hopefully this will silence the idiots who say come the release of Titan, that Blizzard will completely ignore WoW

[jagerftw]

No, read mmo news.

[mercutiouk]

Complimentary?

FPS with Titans = xel'naga you heard it here first.

[Herecius]

Interesting choice of words. Are the two games going to interact in some way, is that what he means? Or is Titan going to instead offer a completely different experience in the hopes that the two games will be different enough to the point that playing both at the same time wouldn't feel like going from two different versions of a similar game?

[Sorx]

Dammit!

I just recently saw a vid saying bungie teaming up with activision to make mmo. now this.

I hope that the rumors of fps mmo isnt true.

[Dembai]

I hope that the rumors of fps mmo isnt true.

Boub confirmed several times that it's an MMOFPS.

FPS = "who the hell cares" in my books.

Bungie, though? I don't know. They've done some interesting stuff - thogh I should add, if this is MMHalO I'm going to cry. ><;

[moaradin]

Anything Boub says thats not released by blizzard themselves is not "confirmed" lol. He is not part of Blizzard.

I thought Titan was supposed to be a complete new IP. They talked in the past that their next MMO would be a completely new IP.

If it compliments WoW, then it makes me wonder if Titan has something to do with the Titans of WoW, but surely not.

[Sunseeker]

The next MMO will either A: be uniquely different to WoW that it will pull in a different audience, likely sci-fi instead of fantasy. or B: take everything WoW did right, and make a new fantasy universe.

Taking everything WoW did right and starting from scratch is a no-brainer no matter what they do, given the project name "titan", I'm speculating sci-fi. Different audience, similar gameplay styles, best of all worlds, wouldn't surprise me if it was Starcraft-based.

Well, all the developers who made WoW great probably left to develop Titan, maybe that explains why WotLK and somewhat of Cata just never really impresses me as much as that and TBC did.
