    I don't mind how far they push back major patches/expansions as long as there is something to do in between. I loved MoP, but I couldn't wait to start WoD because of how long the final patch lasted. Meanwhile at the end of Legion I didn't mind waiting even longer for BfA, because I still had so much to do.

    Only if there was other content delivered during that time period. We've had one 14 month content drought during 6.2 (Tanaan & Hellfire Citadel) and it was arguably Warcraft's lowest point so far.

    I don't really care about an old world revamp that much. What improvements would that bring over the Cata one that are worth sacrificing the giant amounts of development time needed?

    People dont want those things so thats a waste of time
    TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

    They would only really be able to push it back a year if they released an 8.4 and 8.4.5 (raid) to fill the extra year. Or something. Having a year + with no new content isn't really acceptable any longer.

    If you think there's been 4 trash expansions in a row you're probably not going to like what they have planned for the next one either... their design goal has changed.

    As for the OPs questions... pretty sure with how shit BfA is a 1 to 1.5 year drought that would be caused by this would probably harm the game WAY too much.

    so a 2 year gap between 8.4 and 9.0 instead of the normal 1? that will go over well.

    Absolutely. I'd play as much as I feel I want to play, then unsubscribe until the 9.0 is ready.

    Don't presume to know me.

    WoD was trash because it didn't have enough content.

    Legion and BFA have plenty of content but have trash class design, which holds back everything else in the game because our classes are the vessel through which we interface with every form of content. Ion admitted yesterday that they are failing on class design and claims they want to fix that. If they actually do the things he talked about wanting to do yesterday I would be quite happy.

    They don't have to.. Not if they try to spread the 9.0 system changes in atleast +1-1.5 patch of BfA as part of pre-purchase and preparation for 9.0 and include a prelude quest similar to Sargeras sword and Burning of Teldrassil and perhaps a bridge raid similar to SWP or Ruby Sanctum.

    Complete class overhauls aren't something that gets done mid expansion, ever.

    At this point though they should REALLY rethink that... Classes are the worst part of the shit pile that is BfA.

    No course of action by Blizzard will satisfy the folks... Because we of course believe we know far better what Blizzard should do because we know we are right and Blizzard is staffed by a bunch of idiots.

    if they add another 1-2 raidtiers in that year sure why not.

    if it's a year on content draught on top of the usual end expansion draught... don't think the delay will be worth it lol there won't be anything left.

    I would just be playing classic, so it wouldn't bother me.

    Sure, if they release large high-quality 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6 patches with tons of content. Otherwise no.

  19. #39
    they could push it back indefinitely for all i care.

    Absolutely. Hopefully it would shake up the lore enough to the point where I could block BfA out of my memory. Though overall I'd rather push a world revamp back until the terrible trio of Golden, Danuser and Afrasiabi are all gone so that the game can truly heal.
