>all the major writers:gone >all the major technical talent and behind the scenes people:gone or shuffled to other moronic projects like hearthstone and overwatch
never happening, shit. I'd be happy for another fricking movie atleast with the lich king
Metzen, even though he has good ideas at times, can't maintain the continuity of any story he's worked on. Warcraft 2 was a retcon of Warcraft 1, which was then retconned in Warcraft 3, which was then retconned in WoW, which was then retconned by its own expansions. The current writers there are just continuing tradition at this point.

doesnt matter. wc3 was genre defining and still playedto this day
Never
They know that asking all the die-hards to leave behind their characters, their vast libraries of transmogs, mounts, pets and other garbage to start again will be a huge deal-breaker for many of them
Thats probably one of the challenges they're grappling with, but its nothing insurmountable.
Wow culture has shifted towards making more alts/new characters in general anyway because people like the experience of a new character. People arent as attached to their 2decade old characters they've played to death as you think
they just announced a 3 expansion storyline that will wrap up the first 20 years of wow, setting it up for another 20 years
the last expansion of the 3 is called "the last titan"
i think its safe to assume that we'll hear about a wow sequel the closer we get to release, i just can't see blizzard using the same engine that has a lot of limitations for another 20 years
especially with riot's in the works, which is the only mmo that can truly damage wow
i understand that. but i just can't see how they could continue for another 20 years, IF they also want to remain competitive/at the top
riot's will be serious competition, its already based on an established universe that a lot of people love. they just have to do a wow 2, it'd be the smart thing to do
>especially with riot's in the works, which is the only mmo that can truly damage wow
LoL is still the only Riot game that is actually popular. Every other game was FOTM and quickly forgotten.
I keep hearing this and yet I see zero discussion. No memes or yt recs or porn. Fortnight still gets mentioned offhand all the time.
This shit feels so astroturfed and fake as frick. I bet its 90% chink players
The only reason every NA team switched to Valorant is because they got shit on so fricking hard by EU teams in every single league it's not even funny.
>riot's in the works, which is the only mmo that can truly damage wow
friendly reminder that the current owners of riot did not make league of legends, neither did the original owners. it was a copy of a mod from warcraft 3 which was acquired by the communist chinese.
i wouldn't hold your breath that the atheist hellhole of red china would be able to produce anything of quality
the worldsoul is set to end before 2030. that should give them enough time for wow2
part of me thinks that they scrapped that survival mmo they were working on in favor of wow2
You shouldn't hope for that considering the people who make up Blizzard now are all gay homosexual trannies and vaccinated mask wearers
They would make pure, utter gay aids cancer.
Let WoW rest forever. It's over
>M+ runs PER WEEK
People do M+ runs multiple times a day, even 3 million seems extremely low. So at best WoW had 500-600k players on launch that actually made it to max level and did mythic+, so a ~45% reduction on that means WoW currently has around 250k active players while classic wotlk (before people quit with LK being killed) had around 150k-200k active players. That's crazy, no wonder they're panicking by changing the concept of content release and bringing Metzen back kek'd
Is this just you pretending to be moronic
You know each run needs 5 players right?
We also have character counts, season1 had 6.7m unique characters run a key, are you going to tell me that the average person has 12 characters they do endgame content on? We both know that's not true
Despite what Ganker thinks and as sad as it is, WoW isn't actually dying. Well it is but not enough for the plug to be pulled. With every new Ukraine or Israeli tie-in mount or pet, their revenue increases. With every new reskinned store mount the whales will pay. Even if these people use Golden Tokens to pay for their sub time they just need money from MTX and they're set. WoW is asset flips, weekly server resets and mediocrity.
>Riot mmo is the wow killer
Aside from the fact that it's vaporware, exact same people that killed wow are at Riot "working" on it.
Combine that with lol community and lol moderators as well.
I seriously don't understand the people asking for WoW 2, they are already trying so hard to find ways to implement more microtransactions.. if they were to make an entirely new game they would build around microtransactions rather than adding them on-top of everything else. WoW still exists because of the boomer nostalgia for the game and their old characters, if you were to make a "WoW 2" that resets everything and started building on different lore with the current writing team, the game would literally be so trash it would become the most hated game out there in a month.
It doesn't matter what you retail players say, WoW exists because of its long history dating back to when the 90s kids were in school talking about meeting up in-game and doing a dungeon or that TBC will introduce flying to the game.. if you remove that nostalgia from players then WoW is nothing. This is why WoW 2 will never happen, because they could never in a million years live up to the hype. But let's not forget that their current model of adding a few dungeons, raids and a new area every two years is enough to make billions so why would they even bother trying.. and now they're going to instead mass produce expansions every year which was met with cheers from the retail community, so again.. why the frick would they bother with a WoW 2 that actually takes effort, the effort they don't have
What would be the point of a sequel? Who would it even be for? MMOs are a dead genre and WoW hasn't been gaining new players in a long time. It's essentially a digital retirement home, where they extract the few remaining shekels they can from their aging playerbase. A sequel would mean shuffling these seniors away from their comfortable piles of achievements and mounts, all while banking on the uncertainty of whether or not anyone would be willing to play WoW 2 for another twenty years.
Anon, you cant even imagine how profitable WoW is.
Original WoW cost 50$mln, every following expansion way less, while only in-game store bring them hundreds of millions on monthly basis.
There is no reason for them to even make WoW2
They cant think of anything new to attract new people, but production of such project would require hundreds of millions of investment with no promise of bigger profits.
WoW2 wont happen untill WoW1 stops making them profits. Which certainly isnt the case.
I don't even care about the idea of WoW2 anymore.
It'd just be more tab targeted bullshit that looks slightly fancier.
They'd never change the gameplay that drastically and even further alienate people after wiping decades of pointless mounts and transmogs.
If Blizzard makes an mmo worth a damn, it's not going to be WoW related.
Consider that the posters who show the most hatred toward Blizzard were themselves, at one point, raging blizztroons There is no reason to have any strong sentiment about Blizzard or their games, either positive or negative unless they were at one point the same thing they rage against. Therefore it is appropriate to view posters who obsess about Blizzard in any way as extremely pathetic and subhuman
surelly you didn't forgot what blizzard did with overwatch and you want that with wow?
Yes, I want to see it crash and burn.
hm, touche
Overwatch 2 had no room to improve on Overwatch 1's graphics. The biggest reason to make WoW 2 is that WoW looks like utter shit from 2004
why does this remind me of age of empires 2
It looks like the original games' main menu
FUUUUUUCKKKKKK IT WAS SO COMFY BROS! I SPENT FRICKING HOURS OF MY LIFE LOOKING AT THIS MENU!!!! WE NEED TO GO BACK!!!!!
Feel free to reinstall it and stare at the menu screen all you like
>WE NEED TO GO BACK!!!!!
You know you can mod the main menu for DE right?
This is kino and the minimalist UI gays should off themselves.
I clicked on this thread thinking it was a AoE thread
>wow 2.0
>its just another expansion
youre moronic if you think they're competent enough to make an entirely new game
>all the major writers:gone
>all the major technical talent and behind the scenes people:gone or shuffled to other moronic projects like hearthstone and overwatch
never happening, shit. I'd be happy for another fricking movie atleast with the lich king
>>all the major writers:gone
but christie golden and steven danuser are still on the team :^)
>>all the major writers:gone
such as?
Me
just wondering who these legendary writers are. apart from metzen i don't know anyone else that's decent there
Metzen, even though he has good ideas at times, can't maintain the continuity of any story he's worked on. Warcraft 2 was a retcon of Warcraft 1, which was then retconned in Warcraft 3, which was then retconned in WoW, which was then retconned by its own expansions. The current writers there are just continuing tradition at this point.
doesnt matter. wc3 was genre defining and still playedto this day
It did years ago when TBC was released.
why there is no brothels in stormwind?
I hate pg13 fantasy worlds
Why would you need brothels when you can get free sex in Goldshire just a short distance away?
frick blizzard
t
Never

But plenty of morons already play "classic" and "season of discovery"
Lmao
Leaving the die hards behind is exactly what they need to do to build a decent audience again.
they just announced a 3 expansion storyline that will wrap up the first 20 years of wow, setting it up for another 20 years
the last expansion of the 3 is called "the last titan"
i think its safe to assume that we'll hear about a wow sequel the closer we get to release, i just can't see blizzard using the same engine that has a lot of limitations for another 20 years
especially with riot's in the works, which is the only mmo that can truly damage wow
The engine's age is part of its strength though, WoW can still run fine on potatoes
As soon as having a decent machine is no longer optional, they know that many will have to part ways
i understand that. but i just can't see how they could continue for another 20 years, IF they also want to remain competitive/at the top
riot's will be serious competition, its already based on an established universe that a lot of people love. they just have to do a wow 2, it'd be the smart thing to do
>especially with riot's in the works, which is the only mmo that can truly damage wow
LoL is still the only Riot game that is actually popular. Every other game was FOTM and quickly forgotten.
you're delusional if you don't see that an mmo based on league will attract a massive audience
Valorant? it pretty much killed CS in NA. The only reason CS is still a thing in EU is because slavs have shit PCs
I keep hearing this and yet I see zero discussion. No memes or yt recs or porn. Fortnight still gets mentioned offhand all the time.
This shit feels so astroturfed and fake as frick. I bet its 90% chink players
The only reason every NA team switched to Valorant is because they got shit on so fricking hard by EU teams in every single league it's not even funny.

i wouldn't hold your breath that the atheist hellhole of red china would be able to produce anything of quality
plus it will always be an >mmo anyway
Seeing as Blizzard just announced 7 more years of expansions for the current game. Sometime after that.
the worldsoul is set to end before 2030. that should give them enough time for wow2
part of me thinks that they scrapped that survival mmo they were working on in favor of wow2
Were they ever working on it? They announced it, then quietly placed ads for literally every non-management development position.
they're developing 11.0 and 12.0 in parallel
When you blizztards stop paying for the current one and they're forced to start putting in actual effort into their games.
Or in other words, never.
You shouldn't hope for that considering the people who make up Blizzard now are all gay homosexual trannies and vaccinated mask wearers

Let WoW rest forever. It's over
>i like to come into wow threads and pretend that the game is dead. am i cool now guyze??
boring
>retail is retail
>everyone quit wrath to go into SoD
>SoD is dominated by bots
its ogre
ofc everyone left wrath, it ended with LK. very few will stick around for ruby sanctum kek
>pretend
retail has more players now than at launch by the way
>M+ runs PER WEEK
People do M+ runs multiple times a day, even 3 million seems extremely low. So at best WoW had 500-600k players on launch that actually made it to max level and did mythic+, so a ~45% reduction on that means WoW currently has around 250k active players while classic wotlk (before people quit with LK being killed) had around 150k-200k active players. That's crazy, no wonder they're panicking by changing the concept of content release and bringing Metzen back kek'd
you do realize that not everyone runs m+?
You RPing furries that doesn't do shit in the game are the tiny tiny minority, that's completely irrelevant
lmao. some of the most active realms are RP realms like moon guard, and barely anyone there touches m+
you're so wrong its funny, good thing i always decline rp homosexuals in my keys
>m+ trannies going after rpers
Is this just you pretending to be moronic
You know each run needs 5 players right?
We also have character counts, season1 had 6.7m unique characters run a key, are you going to tell me that the average person has 12 characters they do endgame content on? We both know that's not true
>engame content
>400 ilvl is enough to do +2
I just hope you know you'll always be inferior to white people, brown person posting agitprop
You trailer trash redneck homosexuals are still b***hing about masks and vaccines???
true facts. Let WOW die, Let God Burn Them Quickly
Eat Shit

depends on how the last titan ends.

they scrapped the survival mmo in favor of wow 2. screencap this.
After warcraft 4

yeah, WoW 2 would be some free to play battle pass trash
Is the game still fun to play?
Very much so
I don't even care about the idea of WoW2 anymore.

When WoW stops making them money
WoWs art design is so fricking ugly
Post more kino video game main menus
really i dont think blizzard could make a wow 2, even a bad one
Why would they spend money making wow2 when they can milk wow for 30+ years?
