World of Warcraft - The Tavern

[Dolg]

Just love it.

[Syegfryed]

If they had this much merry to do the game

[Pakheth]

That was stupid and fun.

Only thing I can complain about is the shitty looking armor. I know cosplayers who do better than that xD But that's me being nitpicky :P

[Pendragon]

That was actually so good.

[Ielenia]

"Instead of making quality products, lets make a random video that mocks our players. Throw in something about phones lol."

This is what Blizzard has become holy shit

They're not mocking anyone. It's a video of an Azerothian describing our world through the lens of his own knowledge and experiences. If you feel mocked by the video, that's on you.

[Big Thanks]

-Then how are they supposed to kill the bosses?

-They cant! they dont even make it past middle management.

(so good )

[Phunkle]

Do they imply that we should kill the Bobby?

[TheRevenantHero]

I just think it's funny how similar you and @Utrrabbit are; the only difference is you both hate each other's game while loving the game each other hates. Even the complaints, snark, and trash talk is almost the same.

So because I point out how absolutely fucking garbage and tone deaf Blizzard has become, you're going to try and compare me to someone else? Ok, dude.

[Khaza-R]

I thought it was good. Not as good as the original classic commercial but better than a lot of the other stuff they produced.

[CrittenMitten]

Godawful cringe. At least they know who their target audience is.

[Sorrior]

I thought that was surprisingly cool

True forgot about them. Still wonder why Shaman isn't a more common class given it's more primal in toych with nature spirits theme you'd assume every race could do it

[SinR]

Might be better than the Nightelf Mohawk commercial. Probably the best WoW has ever made.

Ozzy vs Arthas was good too

[Ielenia]

So because I point out how absolutely fucking garbage and tone deaf Blizzard has become,

Except the one being "tone deaf" here is you, considering the video is not about mocking players at all. You just took offense from something inoffensive.

[Dead Moose Fandango]

Cartoonishly goofy. I loved it.

[rionalgaming]

this was cringeworthy and really sad... it makes me want to not want to resub for dragonflight

[shadowmatrix]

To whom is may concern, if you took the video seriously then your problem is you. Sometimes there is no hidden agenda, accept the laughs and smiles you find because they are getting harder to come by.

Pretty good ad, pity the game doesn't feel like that at all at present. I really hope they wash out Shadowlands really soon now, and that the new installment is at least decent.

[Relapses]

Godawful cringe. At least they know who their target audience is.

The people who don't use the word 'cringe' to describe a dumb fucking 30 second commercial? This isn't the meant to be the Sistine Chapel. Would you prefer a Paladin driving fucking pick-up truck?

[Cosmic Janitor]

Eh, it was okay...ish, I guess. It tried a bit too hard to be meta and therefore was not consistent within it's own world. No one in Azeroth talks about looting bosses, that is just gamer talk, so it undermines the whole "come play our game to escape reality, we have adventures in another world for you" angle. On the other hand I don't think the humor here was really self-referential, it was just standard escapism talk that parodies some of the most obvious aspects of modern day life. Thinking they'd rebelled against themself here after they've released diablo immoral in the form they did is pretty much just wishful thinking. I would also say that they did not try to insult their players, well besides maybe aiming their message at unsuccessful people stuck in the throes of modern life as a bid to gain them as future customers.

So all in all it was kinda... meh. Neither here nor there. It would have probably worked better like 15 years ago when the mood was better.

So glad they seem to be going back to their roots with the new xpack, basic high fantasy. No afterlife weird abstract BS.
