Warcraft Arclight Rumble - New Mobile Game

[Wries]

Not for me at all but tbh only one kind of announcement would have pleased me, a WoW extension or mobile client, and it was already clear that this game wouldn't be that.

It will have its audience though so yeah you go have fun. I guess I'll play it once when they promise me a mount in WoW if I do it.

[FelPlague]

I just got not words , this guys are so disconnected about the age and likes Of their audience its just insane,they want to kick is out so im off their ship for good, cancelling my Account both Here and battlenet. Its beeen enough.
Have a great life.

Good, we wont miss ya.

the undead faction is the scourge...
the night elves have not been their own faction since warcraft
and this is based on current wow, not warcraft.

Actually I think its more based on the Hearthstone Warcraft lore. Seeing as the setting from the trailer takes place the same tavern with the familiar tavern characters featured in the Hearthstone trailers. Also it's very light hearted approach reflects that too, which I like... at least from a distance, I wont be buying it, but I do like the Hearthstone atheistic and thematically more than the current Warcraft/WoW mood. :P

Wow people are so extreme
Why outrage if a company of a game you like makes an individual game which you don't like.
It's like rocking your Samsung phone and spitting toxic and hatred when they create a pink microwave. What the hell

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Yea you seem to forget the passionate loyal fanbase that got the company started out and massively successful on what platform?

Super Nintendo? Rock N roll racing and lost Vikings is what got the ball rolling after all.

[Every Pwny]

Yeah cause we all remember sneed helping grom fight the 4 horsemen...

Goblins helped out the horde in WC3, but at least you now realize it's not based on current wow like you incorrectly stated in the beginning. That's a start.

[panda040]

not interested, i don't really play phone games anyways

[Sonneillon]

It seems like they're just targeting a new audience that hasn't become completely jaded their shitty business practices/failures (or heard of their many controversies or are aware of sexual assaults' yet). Either that or its darker and Bobby Kotick wants access to young blood now that Jeffrey Epstein is gone.

and that tavern is cannonically in the wow universe.

again hearthstone is a cannon card game within the wow universe, as is the hearthstone charecters.
we see hearthstone boards all over azeroth, so this machien is likely to show up randomly around in 10.0

Lolol what?

[Froggy]

I'll try it out at launch. Looks like a neat little casual game

I think its a couple reasons:

1. The good old it will cost you a raid tier response. They only have so many devs and if they have people working on this they can't be working on the game you want. Although if you hate everything about the game they made would you really want them working on something you love?

2. If they make ungodly amounts of money off this and only a lot of money off the game you like then what's to stop them from fully devoting themselves to more games like the one you hate?

Good. I can assure you, you will NOT be missed. Good riddance.

Please, don't come back.

Is there a short version of how BLZ will monitize it anyone could fill me in on. How dire will it be?
(I just presume there will be ingame purchases)

[Beefhammer]

It has been cartoony since Wc3.

Even WC1 is cartoony.

- - - Updated - - -

Games could easily run parallel. For example WC4 could have campaigns that go through the expansion content of wow and flesh out some of the lore.

I dont care at all for a warcraft themed mobile game, it just feels like they are milking the franchise dry, though i get why they are doing it, there is a big mobile market and they would be stupid not to try tap into it but mobile gaming is generally only profitable because of gambling bullshit.

Id love to see warcraft 4 with campaigns for each faction leader throughout warcrafts lifetime, would go a long way to flesh out characters and fix plotholes, particularly characters like sylvanas who became an absolute mess through wow, or garrosh who was very flip floppy.

As for the mobile game, i dont want to hate it, i dont even want it to do poorly and i feel bad for all the devs that work on this stuff and get shat on by their target audience, but i understand why people feel this way.

I dont want a warcraft mobile game, i want warcraft 4 or a better wow. Hell id sacrifice all mobile games if HotS could just get some devs working on it again.

It could have. It just was never going to happen. Not once was it ever considered or considered seriously enough to enter any type of concepting phase.

I'm also pretty sure they k ow who their target audience and it isn't those shitting on the game. I'm also pretty sure Blizzard has moved passed these types as their target audience.

Nothing much except that you can buy stuff directly from store. So no loot boxes and random shite atleast.

Per Wowhead via GamerBraves, they're claiming that units are purchaseable via an in-game store, and that lootboxes/NFTs will not be a part of the game, despite the Google Play page claiming that there will be random item purchases. Take of that as you may.

Is WC3 cartooney like this?

[TheRevenantHero]

Ya'll downers really need to go get a life or something. Like i've never seen a more miserable bunch of people. You literally sound like a 2 year old crying and screaming that everyone else looks at like wtf is wrong with this person.

Mobile game looks fun something todo when you're bored waiting somewhere.
Dragon expansion looks great.

Blizzard ain't dead its just not what you want it to be, and that's perfectly fine. You guys needs to move on, plenty of people who are happy to enjoy their games without you and your negativity.

Nah you're just another person who will worship Blizzard no matter what fucking garbage they shit out. I bet you thought Shadowlands was a good expansion too. This mobile game looks like complete trash and Dragonflight looks like it's going to bomb like Shadowlands.

People like you need to stop playing the game so that Blizzard stops making awful content since it's clear you will say good things about them no matter how terrible the quality of their products are.

you guys need help.

[TheRevenantHero]

you guys need help.

It's just the truth. Brown nosers are the reason Blizzard products get worse and worse because they refuse to say anything negative.
