Blizzconline Leaks / Speculation / Wishes

[bullseyed]

every year going forward they will inject more and more politics into the event because of the blitzchung backlash. ironically, the politics will be in line with china in some way. while they continue to amp up politics in game and at blizzcon, they will clamp down ever harder on players discussing it anywhere. (much like china would do).

Much like facebook, twitter, Biden would do.

Wow needs a serious shakeup to make it interesting. I think a lot of people are realizing that if SL is the best they can dress up the current systems, then something needs to change.

Not that I expect that in a 9.X patch, but just adding a new raid / dungeon / quests is getting tiresome at this point. If I don't see anything resembling mage-tower level brilliance or transmog at Blizzcon, I can pretty much consider this expac as not worth coming back to.

I dont really think WoW needs something fancy anytime soon. Just do the same solid thing over and over is enough. A solid production cycle may seem mundane but it's problably the most important thing to the health of the game, not some specific design decision. People are caught up in the moment too much. WoW will go through the same cycle of peaking at the start then hit the lowest at the end of the xpac for the next 5 years. Blizzard already recognized that cycle.

...other than the ppl who bought SL (approx 4 million) but as replies in other posts showed, apparently WoW is again "bleeding subs" and close to shutting down.

Business as usual and Blizzard about to basically shut down soon because nobody ever plays their game(s).

Hosting Blizzcon is just a waste of money - they just didn't get the message yet. Something..something.... just churning out last ditch effort desperate cash grabs

Also "Leaks"? LMFAO...like the ones we get pre-next x-pac with the most ridiculous made-up-shit?

good thing we have detectives like you to tell us when blizz will shut down. lol.

yeah they dont need to change wow all that much. They have something that clearly works and even though it has its ups and downs, it brings steady income. Players do play.

They should instead creating something new. Not polish what they have more.

This strategy would be REALLY retarded, either forcing classic players to upgrade to BC OR restart on another server. They'd much rather ust start new BC servers, then new WOTLK servers, with the option to transfer chars.

They will tease/show Arthas for 9.1

Bookmark this.

Yeah what they do with this will be interesting. Logically you'd think they're turning Anduin into the new Arthas, or reviving the old Arthas with Anduin... but Sylvanas would require an entirely new backstory / retcon to go along with that. Literally her whole character was "revenge on Arthas" then when she saw Bolvar on the throne "find a way to destroy the LK concept" which led her here. It's already borderline nonsensical.

People would hate it, but I wouldn't be surprised if we found out Sylvanas has been in the Maw since she suicided after WotLK and the Sylvanas we've seen since is an imposter / Jailer pawn.

As fake as this might be, I can see it happening, and when we get cata classic, we will get classic classic honestly, if they was going to do the "Classic" route id prefer them to stop at Wrath and not do any more as much as i love MOP id hate for them to split the team, I want my wow focus to be on making content for retail not Classic

I dissagree, the cracks start to show that new raids, new quests and new dungeons are just not worth it and the same thing we have been doing are not that great anymore.

It does needs something fancy and it shows in shadowlands imo. If the cycle is the same all the time.. people will.dropp out sooner and the x.3 patches for the past 3 expansions have been absolute trash sadly.

Comments about how it doesn't need saving in 3...2....1....

Classic wasnt a joke to many people btw.

Remember that just because you personally didnt like something, doesnt mean other people dont.

Classic being a joke has nothing to do with how many people like it.

Bosses falling over in under 20s on release day is a joke.

Thats how classic was and thats what people wanted.

You have to be in the minority if you didnt see that coming or expected something else, so i'm going to go ahead and say i dont think thats what he meant

My personal perception amongst the people I know and what I see online, as well as trends.

What are you basing your statements on?



I disagree. WoW became so popular because it essentially became viral. Word of mouth, combined with coming from a well known company, coming out at the right time (as internet was becomin more widespread), providing an accessible and easily digestible entry to a popular genre, being a novelty (one of the first widely marketed massive online persistent world).. so many factors, and so many of them a consequence of timing and luck.

When it comes to online multiplayer games, a very big number of people play what they friends are playing, not necessarily the very best game out there on any given genre, or the ones they would personally prefer to play.

Facts ?? I dont make sweeping statements based on anecdotal evidence :P

Move on from this very offtopic discussion. Also you claim this has nothing to do with anything yet you wanted facts because as you said simply us saying that WoW is poorly written, don't make it so. I provided to you examples when the story contradicts itself just for the sake of plot twists. A very obvious hint that the writing isn't good.

Sure you can ignore mistakes in a story. The question is how many are you willing to ignore. Hence my original comment about standards. The less mistakes you tolerate the higher your standards are. Tis simple math.

It will be year Diablo mostly. TBC classic, 9.1 info and a band aid on Hearthstone. The rest will be Diablo centric.

You cant tell me to move on and then keep arguing

I was having a different discussion with you and the other guy.

I have yet to give you my opinion on the subject.

The discussion with you was how weird is is for you guys to keep bashing on lore and people enjoying it, while still consuming it.

The discussion with the other guy was about his sweeping statements without sources or ANY arguments to support his claims

it can be saved but Ion and the whole lore team need to be replaced for that to happen.

and then u still have activision behind the scenes.
im telling u

not saveable

It has been working though. I dont really know what can be classified as "cracks" in any concrete way. WoW just keeps chugging along. It's pretty clear from observing WoW for a certain period of time that the game has already stabilized to a working cycle. It goes up and down in a predictable way in accordance with the content schedule.

i personally would rather deal with Activision than EA.

And where are those facts? So far they're only random statements pulled out of your ass.
