    Why no cinematic for 5.3 yet?

    I don't have to say anything, the title says it all.

    Why do people like wasted content so much?

    haven't there been like a hundred of these threads already? 5.1 didnt have a cinematic, only raid patches do.

    I appreciate a good trailer, I watched the Thunder King trailer multiple times, because I'm a sad twat I guess. Regardless I enjoy em.

    You won't get one. You didn't get one for 2.2 or 5.1.

    Not 100% true, 4.1 (?) had cinematics although admittedly that had 2 5 mans.

    You're not allowed to discuss conspiracy theories on mmo-champion, which makes me wonder what they're trying to hide.

    You appreciate it for four minutes and then only look at it years later when you feel like being a little nostalgic. I would rather have that time spent on improving the game experience.

    I just wish you could watch the trailers from the login page.

    That were formerly raids. Plus, they needed to explain why Vol'jin didn't join the rest of the trolls.

    Might happen in the future since they have the first steps of the ingame browser implemented now.

    The team who makes trailers does not deprive you of content. It is a specific team for cinematics.

    Given the usual patch trailer cinematics use in-game assets (and not rendered cinematics like the expansion ones), you can safely assuming it is potentially handled by the same team making the new environments, models, skins, etc. And they have probably been very busy, after finishing any art assets for 5.2 (which was a ton), and what work they had to for 5.3 (still had some work there, changing the Northern Barrens environment to the new battlefield it is now, plus the new arena, BGs, and scnearios), they are likely neck-deep in work for 5.4's development, with no real time to make a little cinematic for small amount of storytime.
    Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
    It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
    Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
    These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.

    There have been some other threads about this in which much the same information has already been discussed. The short answer is they don't usually do a trailer for a patch that doesn't contain a raid.

    Here's a thread that was active yesterday.

    http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...no-5-3-Trailer

    Please post there if you wish to continue to discuss this.
