Overwatch copied TF2 so they're obviously not good at copying either. The porn is nice though.

Overwatch was pretty fun at first, but they wouldn't stop fricking with it for MUH ESPORTS and MUH TRANNIES.
can you imagine the scenario where instead of expansions existing as a glorified game reset they actually just expanded upon the base game?
holy shit nothing could compete
The content would be overwhelming for new players though, like if you have 15 raid tiers to go through when you ding 60 and nobody to play it with unless you pay for boost. WoW-style vertical progression really isn't good for that sort of thing, you need the resets or else it becomes too much.
Isn't the current "new player experience" a shitty scenario where you help a stronk black woman save her gay son or some shit?

So the end result is a new player that is max level but doesnt even know how to play the game because the game couldnt bother to explain anything.

MMOs aren't exactly complex. 30 minutes of grouping should give you an idea of how to play a character. If it doesn't, you might be slow.
The first nail was the change from % on items to "rating." This change ALONE assured that great, hard to find items would lose value as you outpaced their "intended" level. You lost niche sideways progression items where an item just has an assload of crit or hit %, or an item has a high resistance to an element for specific encounters
It all started with ahn'qiraj, when they went from gear drops to token drops that you have to pay ridiculous sums of gold to craft your gear. As if farming consumables wasn't enough, you also need rep and tons of money increasing the grind by 200%. Also when they decided to remove pvp from the open world by introducing instanced battlegrounds instead zone conflicts.
I wish someone would make a private server that tries to emulate Warcraft 3 as close as possible. Like being able to play the unique heros and having the exact abilities, stats, and mechanics.
Actually, this is something I search for when I play MMOs that have fishing: those players fishing in pretty spots away from everyone. I don't grief or disrupt, I just find you, acknowledge the scene, and leave. It's like hunting for fae in the wild. I like to imagine you're listening to some good music, chatting it up with your friends, just comfortable and at ease. It gives an old soul a sense that all is right in the world despite the meteoric decline of post-information age society.
Me in the bush ready to rape
>t.
I wish WoW wasn't shit
This.
I wish Blizzard would start working on WoW2 instead of some dumb survival MMO nobody is gonna give a shit about.
>wishes WoW wasn't shit
>wishes the same people who made WoW shit would keep making WoW
The average intelligence of Ganker
WoW has always been shit, if they made a total reboot with brand new gameplay then it might be good.
wasn't that what overwatch started out as? lmao
They probably have lots of internal ptototypes for WoW2 but they're scared to pull the trigger on WoW.

The new player experience is already the worst I have ever seen in a game, period. I don't think it could get any worse
It can always get worse and it will.

Neither are of us are new players.
TBC was unironically the first nail in the coffin for WoW, everything wrong with current WoW started in it

I don't play MMOs anymore but I feel like XIV had the best fishing of them. Also crafting.
Anyone else?
Do you play ffxiv? I like the fishing in that game a lot
Are you Crendor?
No way he visits Ganker he seems way too happy lol
