What's the likelihood of WoW making a comeback and becoming a relevant player in MMOs again? I've seen an awful lot of positivity about the upcoming expansion and I don't like it.
What's the likelihood of WoW making a comeback and becoming a relevant player in MMOs again?
it is dead and it is nothing more than furcadia 2
play chimeralands

I would sub to that and buy lifer digos in a heartbeat.

>play chimeralands
I thought this game already implode itself with stolen assets
Just play EQ p99 or FFXI if you actually like MMOs.
>an awful lot of positivity about the upcoming expansion and I don't like it
vocal minority, same as when you always hear about gay shit and pride and rainbow flags despite being like 5% of the population max, and its literally the same because WoW is now made by and for those people
>What's the likelihood of WoW making a comeback
Basically none. It's the same fricking hype cycle repeating itself because people are desperate for a good MMO but they don't understand what makes a good MMO.
WoW is either the first or second most played MMO. Blizzard did everything they possibly could to ruin this game over the last five years and it's still hugely popular. I'm convinced the servers will have to be shut down in order to kill this wienerroach of a game.
Hopefully Microsoft ruins it like they're ruining Mojang.
dragonflight will make wow go f2p
>I've seen an awful lot of positivity about the upcoming expansion and I don't like it.
lol wtf kind of miserable greasy hands typed this post
Normalgay audiences being positive about having hot diarrhea shoveled out into the gaming market is not a good thing. Frick off and go back.
>containment game continues to gain morons
>everyone else goes to play better games
I don't see the problem, unless you're so fricking moronic that you want WoW to be dogshit to normal people so NEET homosexuals like you are the only ones playing?
I don't play WoW, but WoW cutting its playerbase and becoming a better game is a far better alternative than appealing to normalgays, yeah.
>lol wtf kind of miserable greasy hands typed this post
Probably some XIV nerd. They are tremendously butthurt that WoW is still out performing XIV even after all the bad decisions WoW-devs have made. The fact of the matter is, that only homosexual weebs want to play a visual novel MMORPG. Most people want to play a MMORPG where you actually get to do combat and explore a world. In XIV you spend 99% of the game alone ready text boxes, or in your own special instance running towards a cat girl indicator on the map(who gives you more text boxes to read).
If I want a good story, I will read a book or watch a movie. When I want to game, I will play a game not a visual novel(XIV).
>outperforming
Prove it. You literally can't you fricking worm.
>n-n-nuh uh!
>your a worm!
Whatever weeb. Don't you have a """MMO""" to go read?
That's what I thought. Take your sensationalist nonsense and shove it up your ass.
>reads a visual novel
>tricks people into reading his same visual novel
>IT GETS BETTER AFTER ARR
>HEAVENSWARD IS AMAZING
>its not amazing
>its just more visual novel crap
>hardly any gameplay
>just endless text boxes
Trannies like you need to be put in check. You are tricking people into playing your visual novel by telling them its a MMORPG. Just because there are multiplayer sections in your visual novel, does not make it a MMO. If you guys were upfront about it, and didn't lie to people we wouldn't despise you so much, but unfortunately you keep spouting the same shit. I don't have anything against people who like other visual novels. They aren't for me and I don't want to play them, but at the same time those people aren't trying to convince everyone and their grandma that their visual novel is actually "THE BEST MMORPG EVAR!!!". Have sex weeb.
You, just like every other button-down dipshit who infests this board, forgets about the RPG part of MMORPG. FFXIV does that better than any other MMO on the market today. WoW is 99% group content and 1% story. By that definition, what makes WoW better than Call of fricking Duty?
There are no RPG mechanics in XIV. You go through the exact same railroaded story that every single other person goes through. There are zero choices that you make along the way that have any real impact. Now that I think about it, even visual novels have choices. Visual novels are more RPG than XIV is even. XIV is what happens when you take a visual novel, and make it even less interactive.
>You go through the exact same railroaded story that every single other person goes through.
As opposed to WoW with its branching sto... oh wait.
FF has much better character customization, much better than WoW will ever have.
Otherwise the games are pretty much same, in which case, FF wins.
That was true. Dracthyr mog every other WoW race and every FF race in customization options now.
>a race that can't even wear armor
>a race that doesn't even have male and female versions
>"Dracthyr mog every other WoW race and every FF race in customization options now."
[This is what wowbucks actually believe.]
They do and they can. I accept your concession.
Look, I know you're really into this homosexual rainbow troony fur/scale shit, and you should be happy, because you have your own among the devs, who now make the game for themselves, therefore for you.
Hell, they might even make a ton of money because of the nature of the thing, you know, like furgays being the biggest paypigs there are.
But to think it's going to be objectively better is just moronic, I'm sorry.
>boilerplate /misc/ response
You forgot to call me a israelite. I accept your concession.
>a race that doesn't even have body 1 and body 2 versions
fixed that for you
>B-BUT XIV
mind broken
You summoned them into the thread you fricking moron.
>Most people want to play a MMORPG where you actually get to do combat
Literally the best of WoW's players have to cheat to prog in XIV content.
The raw materials are there but 2022 Blizzard cannot make a good product. The company is just too far gone with the inner rot.
This. WoW can be saved, but only if Microsoft cleans Blizzard out.
>Microsoft
You mean the company that's added a woke filter to MS Office?
Clean up how, make the rest of the normal people leave and replace them exclusively with woke morons?
Maybe they'll be replaced with woke morons that are slightly less moronic than what's already there. Not like Bliz can sink any lower.
>Not like Bliz can sink any lower.
Yeah I read comments like these long time ago.
Look where we are now.
An actual deviantart furry designs a new race that looks exactly like something that a deviantart furry would make.
Sex replaced by "body type".
Censoring a painting, because some homosexual who happens to be the game's director finds it hurting.
Just when you think that (they can't sink any lower), they go ahead and do more moronic shit.
The homosexual dragon on wheelchair comes to mind and at this point, I just laugh.
>The homosexual dragon on wheelchair
The what now?
Who's going to clean Microsoft out?
The people who play it are literal addicts. It will probably sell record numbers again at launch, and then fall off hard in about a month. People don't care how much Blizzard fricks them as long as they get to chase that nostalgia high
Those record preorder numbers plus six month sub rewards guarantee Blizzard can fund WoW for years to come.
none, there are too many layers of shit for wow to make a comeback
>tab targeting filters zoomers
>ugly graphics filters weebs
>game being 99% focused on mythics/raids filters anyone who isn't discord troony
So the only demographic left is 30 year old+ non-weeb discord trannies
Never, damage is far too done at this point.
If they were to revert TONS of shit, get rid of the pozzed writers, bring back lewd outfits, completely retcon so many of the expansions, then maybe I just might.
>lag only on wow
>its your isp goy not our shit servers

Blizzard is beyond fricked and killed all the goodwill they had
WoW's been dogshit since WoD and has never really recovered from the Cata drop. After almost a decade of bullshit people have zero faith in the game anymore.
>I've seen an awful lot of positivity about the upcoming expansion and I don't like it.
You see this on LITERALLY every expansion.
I still remember the shilling and how "wow was saved and it's back" threads constantly during shadowlands and bfa releases.
It's a mix of legitimately addicted morons and marketing.
I didn't see that for SL. SL was cancerous in the alpha and a thousand testers told Blizzard as much. They admitted pretty recently to ignoring that feedback because Alex Afrasiabi was outright contemptuous of the players and convinced he knew what was best.
This is why I don't blame Ion for the current condition of WoW. He's just a good boy caught in the middle of hateful fans and corrupt superiors.
He's a smug wienersucking knowitall like the rest of them, why would you make excuses for Ion for all of those shitheads.
There's hype before every WoW expac, but the hype here is the lowest it has ever been, and there's way more negativity.
Also I don't think the game gets or keeps many new players due to it being a fricked up mess full of design decisions that don't make sense to anyone who hasn't played it before.
0% lmao the only people that are saying ITS GOOD AGAIN GUIZE are literal stockholm syndrome lunatics
>I've seen an awful lot of positivity about the upcoming expansion
Yeah? From whom?
morons cheering about the homosexualry and wheelchairs?
Streamers whose job is to hype it up before shitting on it once it comes out?
mmo's as a genre has been dead since 2012. it's only come back will come via VR
Every expansion release is them taking a bucket of water out of their sinking ship, but ignoring that they've actively been drilling holes in the ship in the first place.
You can probably extrapolate just how shit the situation really is by looking at the old number of players graph (that they don't even release now LMAO) and just plotting a general downward trend with the occasional bump from expacs.
>retail
absolutely zero
>wrath classic
might be relevant for a few months due to wrathbabbies but its completely DOA after a while, nobodys playing cata lmao
I don't know, nothing is certain since we're living in a clown world and the majority of people are gradually adjusting to the new normal state of it.
It's gonna get worse before it gets better, so I assume it will get popular again before the end.
it really wont garner any new players, but it will definitely bring back the battered housewives enough to play it for 6 months, which is, coincidentally the sub amount!
How much do viral marketers get paid to shill on here? And is it true that it’s just post numbers (of which most are faked) and the people who pay don’t question?
Imagine defending the sanctity of Ganker of all places.
>shillers are good
>t. a shill
How much?
Spotted the shill. If you’ve been here, long enough you know the deal.
How much?
Of all the threads on Ganker you're objecting to the one explicitly talking about a video game?
>Of all the threads on Ganker you're objecting to the one explicitly talking about a video game?
Hes an XIV Troon.
Ganker has NEVER been about discussing vidya you glowing summergay. It's /misc/ transplants vs. jannies and I will kill you to keep it that way.
The problem with WoW isn't even the game itself at this point
Nothing to do with writing, game design, balancing, or what have you
The community's completely fricked. Has been since Legion. Socialization is dead and you will never have that warm experience of hanging out with people in the open world while collecting Bear Asses together
Unlikely, even Dragonflight kind of looks okay
It's not just WoW being shit though, MMOs are a genre are just stagnant garbage now
I would love to see the numbers of people who get into the game as completely new players after seeing the gay shit, and people who leave, because of the gay shit.
>a relevant player in MMOs again?
it's still the most relevant MMO despite it's frick ups. nobody benchmarks FFXIV as the best PvP/PvE mmo experience, you can praise its ongoing story but even then you could just compare it to gachashit like Genshin which is more popular
3 outta 6 normie friends want to give the game a try when it launches Dragontroons. The other 3 just don't want to give Blizzard any money anymore.
That's how it is.
People buy the expansion, blizzard says it's the best/highest/fastest/whatever selling expansion yet according to some arbitrary rules that allow them to claim it, and then, after seeing it' more of the same old shit, only gayer, people will start dropping off.
Here’s how to revive it
>bring it to consoles
>support MKb for consoles
>classic only
>60 dollars super bundle with mount and boost
>cross play
Boom that’s an easy half a billion dollars
>support MKb for consoles
so you'd ruin consoles in the process, based.
Yea bro, just what would save fricking WoW. Releasing a nearly 20 year old game on consoles. Surely, lil Zoom will jump in to the hotness. It's true that people who quit the game years ago and did not even stick around for the complete Classic content(if they came back at all for it) all will rush out and buy a nearly full priced game port of a 20 year old game that requires M+KB and a sub. Surely all "influncers" on various platforms across the web will decide this is the time to jump in to WoW, thus getting normies to even think about trying the game out again.
Bro, lots of MMO has been saved by releasing a console version.
Release Classic with modern WoW graphics and they'll eat that shit up. It looks just like Fortnite.
I don't know. I doubt it until atleast Microsoft takes over. At that point without fricking Bobby there is a possibility of them focus on making a fun game instead of making a game built to keep you logging in for you daily allotment of progression. It's at least a chance, not a good one but a chance never the less.
The Warcraft IP is still golden I don't give a shit what anyone says, the issue is no one trusts Activision-Blizzard themselves. Not only have they been fricking up every game/IP more and more since Diablo 3, they completely shit the bed with Immortal. The announcement was so bad that they fricking killed Blizzcon. Covid was just an excuse, they were looking for away to control the narrative. They NEVER wanted "is this an out of season april's fools joke" or some other red shirt mother fricker coming up and shitting on their marketing again. The game it's self is on such a level of kiekery, that last I saw it would cost over 100K USD to max out a character, or like 10+ years for free to play time.
It's all but over for them, if this MS deal does not go though Blizzard the studio WILL get the Origin Systems Treatment.
Oddly enough, Did you know J Allen Brack was also at Origin Systems when they were dismantled by EA as an EA appointed producer? Did you also know he was there as Sony's trigger man in Star Wars Galaxy.
Blizzard has lost all its competent developers and game designers. They won't be making any good games.
>What's the likelihood of WoW making a comeback and becoming a relevant player in MMOs again?
the only people who could have fixed the game are retired or were fired via #metoo
The old guard set up something great but they didn't exactly leave it as such. Alex Afrasiabi was the galaxy brain behind Sylvanas, after all.
Nuke California
This triggers the Blizzdrone.
I used to be a Blizzdrone. Now I literally just cannot fricking stand how fricking woke modern Blizzard is. Frick the very concept of escapism, I guess. We need to shove as many Twitter politics into the game as possible for good boy points with people who don't play the game.
Reminder, in California females will always be second place.
This makes the flyover and southern seethe.
There are only two genders: Male and female. No amount of surgery or changing your Twitter header will change what you were born as.
Nah, senpai. My niece was born last month, and the doctor who delivered her said to my sister in law, “Wow, look at that, it’s a type 2 body.”
You jest but there are people in the world who want to eliminate assigning gender at birth.
good
accelerate!
We could do like Native American naming. They don’t name their babies at birth, but rather as the baby’s character develop. So if you cried a lot, you were called “Cub who howls” or some shit. Could do the same with babies. See what gender role they affirm to and then let them decide when they want to.
Lmao we got an actual nu-wow fan itt
I was being sarcastic.
How about cannibalism instead?
Or just killing the weak kids that aren't going to be become strong warriors.
Maybe we can even mix both of those and eat those weak kids
They still called them "he" or "her", though, and they usually had childish nicknames until they earned their "rite name". Native Americans weren't some ultra-progressive liberal utopia, they just didn't think you should have a boss-ass name like "Moose Who Fricks" until you fricked a moose.
>Native Americans weren't some ultra-progressive liberal utopia
sounds like you need to watch Pocahontas chud
Didn't Louis and Clark rape and sell Pocahontas into slavery?
That’s Sacagawea. She was already pregnant when she joined the expedition. Can you imagine the train of white men just raw dogging her in every hole, not caring about pulling out because she was already pregnant, some of the finishing onto her rotund belly with her child inside.
Ah, right, my mistake. I sometimes get my fanciful Indian bawds mixed up.
false, she was never raped. that's a feminist narrative from the perspective of "all sex with men is rape"
Shhh. Let me have my fantasy.
hot
I wonder how the Blackfoots would have treated that one crazy fricker who would run around fricking and eating wolves named Fornicates with Beasts. I bet they only let him out for special battles.
>named Fornicates with Beasts
No they would call him Red Leaf
Why can't I remove Type 2 top off?
Did lefties ever refute that one?
>Did lefties ever refute that one?
No. But the "solution" is to make the neither body type able to take off their top.
lefties eventually are going to have us wearing mormon underwear aren't they?
No, the solution is to make both "body types" able to unequip all of their clothes, even their underwear.
Not a lefty but the only proper refutation I could come up with is breasts bouncing around is less comfortable than with them being held in place by some kind of fabric. Pecs don't really flap about like that, so it's not really an inconvenience. It's a matter of support whilst in action.
Yes California is shit. Stay out.
I botted throughout all of cata and mop lmao, also bought a few unmerged accounts from the hacked database back when that was a thing on mmowned. I get to parade as an oldgay without actually being one. Also used honorbuddy the entire time and bought everything off the bmah for over a year
WoW died in TBC
If you mean with the release of TBC you'd be right.
>relevant player in MMOs again?
MMOs are dead too
which expansion was the one where girls complained about the lack of sexy armor?
The worst one, WotLK.
0 because Dragonflight does nothing to fix the major issues most people have with the gameplay.
