What an absolutely uninspired pile of..... nothing.
Starting to wonder if Kotick didn't just want "to take all the fun out of making video games" but to also take the fun out of games.

It might come as a shock for you but some people have different tastes. I wasn't bothered by the walls that much, I prefer the intro questline to any of the WoW starting experiences beside the worgen and while the loading screens are indeed annoying they aren't a dealbreaker for me. There are far many things I like about the thing than dislike.
Still, you tried it. That's all I personally ask of people.
I'm not your personal Google assistant. Do it yourself. Hell, these interviews are even posted here, on MMO-C.

I think they could absolutely rake in a ton of people if they gave the game one last revisioning. Remove those invisible walls, gut that intro experience, and turn the game into a true, borderless open world experience in the same way WoW is.

You know a community is bad when moderators lock a thread because "...this isnt the place to talk about it either seeing as it will get trolled..."
so happy...people can talk so much shit about this game but honestly if it wasnt for this long delay Shadowlands would be in a great spot right now. I hope blizzard is able to go back to normal productions times soon if and when covid restrictions lift in california

well its more because of heavy restrictions in cali, thats why FFXIV hasnt had much production issues. they were allowed back in the office but all desks were seperated by 6ft and whatever else they needed to do
You have no understanding of marketing. Especially when you quote one if the most famous marketing case studies and get it sooooo wrong.
It's a description of what it is. A mega dungeon. There are plenty of examples of this before Legion but that doesn't change what it is. If Tryhard Terrys get excited that's fine. Casual Andys like yourself can be excited too. Or don't. I'm not your mother.

What's sudden about the announcement? It's been about 7 months. The announcement is overdue. That's the word you are looking for. Don't let some YouTuber tell you what to think.

The quests in TBC are terrible and boring. Kill 50 mobs? Kill 30 mobs 6 times? Look for actual shit on the ground? Kill mobs to get 15 of an item with 30% drop rate? Not fun at all. But at least they were better than SL. That was the worst quest experience ever.
Where do we get the previous season gear at please?
It's not sad at all. You are one of 10s of millions to either play or quit. You are not special.

Thanks Armchair Andy for your analysis. If it's not released now then it's "ZOMG they are desperate. It's not fully tested. They're trying to compete with <insert random game> release *heavy breathing*.

9.0 was released says before August too. What's your point?
I was honestly starting to expect July given how long it took to release a patch date. Guess I have to hit the grindstone on the last few things I intend on working out the next week and a half.
If the cutscenes ship in this state (particularly the one where Sylvanas flies away like a deflated balloon, reminds me of the silly Ursoc fight)... man, I don't know. Where did Blizzard's ingame cutscene team go after making Starcraft 2?
Whatever they will do it will remain strongy narrative driven so everything will still be tied to the MSQ. Expecting otherwise is like expecting Don't Starve to become a racing game.

Well it is just one day away, so you weren't very wrong. And hey, if the unexpected happens and we get a few days delay, you win.
If we don't have big breaks like Christmas, 9.1 goes exactly same way as any patch in modern WoW. Sometimes even they don't give date until last week, but it's always obvious cause there is end of season warning.
Of course overall patch is really late, but since PTR started (and we could see progress) people screaming about August release had no idea what they talked about. Including streamers, which is ridicolous, they are people that play this game often 10+ years and often think they are smarter than devs. But whenever I said 9.1 is coming in June, cause it's boost for Q2 numbers and PTR last ~10 weeks, maany people said it's unrealistic.
