stopped reading there. why would they make the most popular MMO free to play?
Money.
This is schizoid level of a leak, but with f2p they can milk more out of their existing cattle who keep paying insisting that "you don't NEED more dailies giving reputation/weekly conduits to experience the story" since it's "free"
>massively expand the cash shop
>any time its criticised the mazedbucks just go "S-SHUT UP, ITS FREE TO PLAY, I'M PAYING FOR YOUR CONTENT!!"
f2p is a scam to make more money when your subs are no longer sustainable.
>most popular MMO free to play?
im pretty sure he is talking about world of warcraft and not final fantasy.
yes, i know
final fantasy is dead
did final fantasy mmo have a south park episode?
Do you realize how long ago that episode was?
a couple of years ago
What's "a couple of years ago"?
Friend i was in my first year of college when that came out. Now i'm 35 years old. Warlo is not the pop culture icon it was four console generations ago.
you use "Warlo" at 35 years old?
Have you a gf ?
Of course not i post on Ganker.
May i ask, is she a ( pro) gamer girl orand how do you meet her?
Can you pls reply to me for my question. Woukd be nice.
God I hate ESL morons. Seems to be twice as many of them in WoW threads.
You mean a South park episode BASED on everquest? but using wow as an excuse?
is south park still relevant?
the most popular mmo is albion online
They have no choice if they want to keep the game alive. The subscription model doesn't really make money anymore
Should have made WoW into buy 2 play game at this point
F2P is actually way more lucrative then monthly subs for example just buying the scratch cards in PSO2: NGS is as much as a whole month sub of WoW/XIV but players are dropping that much or more every week.
this, i know someone in my pso2 alliance who drops $100 on each scratch ticket, and they release roughly every 2 weeks
also you have to pay just to sell items in your shop and for extra inventory space its why despite being considered a disappointment Sega still said NGS was a big financial success, the only downside I can see is f2p really a small number of whales rather then getting money from literally the entire playerbase like a monthly sub does its why f2p works so well in asia because majority of players have no problem with paying for in game items.
blizzard fans absolutely have no issue with a large portion of their paychecks going to blizzard lol the average mazerat spends $50 (likely mythic expansion cause of toys) + $15/mo + wow tokens + cash shop mounts + level boosts
before you say "no one does that", anecdotally, I know 3 people who do that. One has spent $4000 total over the years with a large part of it being boosts, tokens, and store mounts.
It's especially bullshit after Microsoft acquisition. It's never going F2P because it would be put in gamepass instead.
because having to pay a sub makes people not want to play
It's dead Jimmy.
They will not make it free to play, even if retail fails which it won't they will still continue to take in BILLIONS off re-releasing wow classic servers. Those cows will ALWAYS continue to come back to be milked. Everquest is proof of this, they've re-releasing servers for over 20 years, two years ago Blizzard hired the person who was in charge of that holly longdale who now runs classic.

>stopped reading there. why would they make the most popular MMO free to play?
My money is on it going "free" with Gamepass, and before Blizzcon.
>the most popular MMO
Easily.
Theyll just up the f2p level cap up to before you can play the new expansion. Same thing ff14 does.
How does one actually get into WoW now? I havent played since BC and want to play for the story. Is the game designed for noobs or is it like destiny where you miss out on story content cause they vault it
haven't played since bc? keep it that way, the game has been degrading in quality over time.
What would be the point? In WoW only the current expansion and its endgame matters. They could up the level cap to get everything but the current expansion and it would still not be worth the hassle.
Make it freemium to increase the playerbase, while making actual features behind paywall.
I'm 100% confident you wont be able to run enough m+ or do pvp while playing on free mode.
There will be hardcap of some number of M+ runs per week. Same with BGs, arena games and shuffles.
>M+
>M+
Is one of the reasons why the game's dead you mazerat.
Making it free won't bring people that want to play something else. Making it free will only bring more people in that want to play M+ but for free.
Apart from maze+ and pvp, the game is a 3d chatroom. What are you going to do as a F2P? Nothing.
>futa Yrel will be reintroduced in patch content
WoW is saved.
Its funny as frick how they chicken out from the futa drae topic, but put a ton of other degen fetish into the game.
God bless that oil prince for giving us them.

Are much more fun. I genuinely enjoy dungeons in ESO than in WoW just because you are 4 people.
HI Sir, i have a few questions, can you wait a moment, pls
Do you know how long such an expansion needs to be developed?
>The game is going Free to Play
I've never tried it but wasn't it always F2P with extreme limitations?
Yes and no. You have a max level of 20, but everything scales with you and you can access everything from past expansions. Mail, chat, and AH are basically off-limits.
In the beginning you could play free for 10 days with level cap and some more restrictions, then you got locked out of the account until you bought the game.
Now its f2p with a level cap of 20 and some less harsh restrictions like no auction house access and trading
>>No new class, support specs for Mage, Monk, Paladin, Shaman and Druid. Two at launch, the rest in patches
Lmao they're not adding new specs.
You are never getting new classes again. Its recoloured spell effects forever now.
The success of the augmentor might prove otherwise. They are already testing the waters for this with community posts. You are going to get Hunter/Bard hybrid support and you are going to like it.
Removing the faction divide might have seemed extremely unlikely years ago but I also think this is going away. Everything in retail seems to be pointing in that direction. Hell, they are adding Eredar and Fireland Nelfs to alliance next patch and they already gave Warlocks to all races.
imo they're moronic for not removing the faction divide over a decade ago, it's been completely arbitrary and detrimental to the story for most of WoW's lifespan
This sounds like the combination of every talked topics to the point its 99% fake.
Especially with support specs.
>Dungeon parties now 4 man
Yeah, and typical moronic innovation of your own. 100% fake.
dude this "leak" was already posted here before dragonflight was announced
its fake
free to play like in SWTOR where you literally cant loot purple and upwards rarity items without a sub xd?

shocking.

ah yes, the "le titans are colonizer chuds" setup is just a prank
sounds like something a californian hack writer would do as a joke and not in earnest
If we´re having the light as baddies, its a light expansion, not a void expansion. OP fricked up with his fake leak, simple as
We are going full animay "GOD IS THE REAL BAD GUY" route. Also, expect a "lightforged/corrupted Alextraza" as the big bad of Dragonflight.

>>No new class, support specs for Mage, Monk, Paladin, Shaman and Druid. Two at launch, the rest in patches
Thats just bullshit. AugEvoker pretty much covered all the stat buffs the game even has.
5 other buff specs without being healers would have nothing to buff.
Its almost like people really didn't like locking evoker to the troony fursuit race and they are lazily reducing other classes to palett swaps of the same horseshit.
But blizzard couldn't do that. They are the mark of quality!
>But blizzard couldn't do that. They are the mark of quality!
>Blizzard quality now is adding two buffs to 5 new specs each and call it a day
no, they couldnt

Idc, not anymore, not after the game turned into a lgbtq propaganda platform. Unless they remove all homosexualry from DF and the new zones are only straight normal npcs

its just a mush of ideas from different games (mostly WoW) slapped together sloppily with the ff stamp on it so homosexual weeb trannies like you buy it lmao
>o homosexual weeb trannies like you
but i'm not a wow player
25man mythic isn't a thing you tard
Sorry, that was a typo and meant 20 man.
>5th Druid spec
Would make sense because of Augmentation Evokers. Druids are versatile class that can fit each role (tank, healer, melee and caster) and missing role is support one.
5th druid spec is unnecessary, you fricking shill.
Druid already has healing spec, which IS supoort aka Restoration spec.
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Avaloren
https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Wreckage_Analysis_Report
Avaloren is real and already mentioned in game
There's no way they're putting in a fourth role as "support", if anything they want to remove a role because no one wants to play tank or healer and it fricks with queue times. A fourth role would make things worse. Removing healers might make things slightly better, just have tanks and DPS be responsible for their own survivability through some self-healing stuff and dole out the healing CDs between classes.
homie they done did it already.
Give me the QRD on Dragonflight story so far
To be fair, its very open ended at the moment. but i'll try
We help the aspects regain their powers and reunite after cataclysm
Doing so we run into the primalists, protodrakes that refused to accept the titan's gift/powers as they believe dragons should've remained pure
We fight them, kill one of their leaders, raszageth
In her boss room, there were 3 powerful protodragons stuck in stasis. fyrakk, iridikron and vyranoth
after her defeat, they break free.
Meanwhile, the dracthyr are trying to find their purpose after being imprisoned for 20000 years
One of their leaders, sarkareth, tries to mingle with the void for extra powers, we kill him in the latest raid. A void portal is open inside his boss room.
Theres a power struggle between sabellian and wrathion, but ebyssian wins and becomes their leader
Merithra, Ysera's daughter becomes the new green dragonflight leader
In the megadungeon, we save Nozdormu from Murozond, we fight Iridikron, one of the 3 protodragons that broke free, but he escapes through a void portal, and the silhouette of Xal'atath is seen
10.2 seems to be emerald dream related, as Tyrande received a world tree seed from the Winter queen, and the fact that 10.1.7 will have an event where emerald portals will spawn all over the dragon isles
might've forgot something, it's been months
proto drakes who can turn into humanoid elemental avatars (they can do that now apparently) are mad at titans and the dragons for betraying and imprisoning them
everyone.... talks.... like.... this
that's about it
tfw no proto drake goth gf
>void/old gods
WHERE IS MEDIEVAL WARFARE Expansion with european setting
WoW is space fantasy.
>The game is going Free to Play
Shit game is still a shit game even if it is free.
WoW has powercreep problems, even before BC it powercreeped too hard
they should have dropped the game after BC and made a whole new one with a new engine after making warcraft 4 to actually advance the story
powercreep was a thing in vanilla already.
yes
it went from clear the timber wolfs near the monastery to kill the gods of the gods of the gods of the gods while hundreds of players each hold unique mythical super important to the story weapons.
i feel like other comparable games like guild wars 2 never powercreeped. guild wars did this at the expense of making all the items the same level of quality and making them dull and boring but still the way they did it is much better than WoW.
i feel like they could come up with another thing to reward endgame players with than powercreep items or boring cosmetic items. maybe letting guilds control and change parts of the game map as long as they are the top guilds, i think thats the idea of ashes of creation.
>f2p
this would boost the numbers tenfold at a minimum
it would also dry up private servers significantly
but it makes no sense, unless by "f2p" it's actually just "b2p" and you don't pay for sub, but still have to buy the game (and then they are free to add as much mtx as they want)
but it won't happen, they still have to chase away at least half a million more players for that to happen
>this would boost the numbers
Every MMO that went f2p in order to save itself had a huge infux of players for about a month. Then the population fell of a cliff and death followed.
none of those mmos were WoW, also it saved LOTRO, DDO, Everquest (arguably), and made more people try gw2, and FF14s free trial went viral.. so..
that's because those games have no content
wow does have content; just not enough to be willing to pay for, or not the type they are willing to pay for
WoWs problem is its content ends the nanosecond you either get sick of dailies or get BiS. That's literally it, all the other stuff they try and add they never commit to or can think of a way to design it without also making it dailies/timegated like world quests, fishing, crafting, etc
to me, that isn't worth paying a fricking subscription for, especially since it already has nearly every monetization method under the sun bar lootboxes
good
you should play when you want to play
not because you feel forced to do it
that's the issue with dailies, it's literal busywork. There's nothing TO play because they gut everything before the current content so literally all your left with is filling out a checklist for no reason, or playing the game as an additional daily chore. There's nothing you can do just for "fun" without it feeling like pointless drivvel where you're trying to force the game to be fun, or content designed solely to keep you on the treadmill
So what would you do "for fun"? And are you sure you wouldn't just ignore it?
well for one i would've kept in world pvp zones, revamped epic bgs to not be garbage and bring back the hop in hop out aspect of them, unfrick the old zones progression (again), retroactively add new things to the old world that can be used to craft vanities in dragonflight, create more secrets that can only be found/obtained by using various spells the classes have, actually update archeology, and remove trannies
you know what would happen?
most of that would just end up some wowhead checklist like the shit we have now
not to mention the community is
okay but why should i give a shit how other people play said content? it does not in anyway effect me
Oh nooo someone made a 1-700 min maxed archeology grinding guide they should never add it again wahhh
why would i ever ever ever care
Because it makes that content you're talking about exactly like the content you're dealing with now, t b h.
are you implying the existence of a guide demands that you follow it, even if you don't want to? the frick am i reading
No, that every new activity just ends up the same old metagamed chore in current wow
the real problem is the formerly entertaining side content, like pvp, has been shunned by blizzard and is now dying.
Well yeah. They pointedly tried to turn it into an esports game.
>listen to pvp tards who ask for solo queue
>it literally kills their shitty game mode
nice 1 minigamers
hate to break it to you bud but pvp died in shadowlands, well before solo q.
No shadowlands season 1 was so ridiculously popular they had to change the rating formula
i know, i played season 1 of shadowlands. that was the last time I saw people coming back to the game. ever patch after that and every season, right up to 4 became more of a ghost town.
that's exactly what drains players
sub + the constant feel AND need that you need to log in and do your daily shit to get stuff before next patch/reset/season
no wonder troonyflight has less players; they finally did away with majority of mandatory grinds, people are finally free to do and play other stuff
but if it was free with this model, that would be a whole other beast where players would constantly return to do a lil something
>>New Players begin on Dragon Isles and previous expansions are locked off until they complete the story campaign

>New continent is called Avaloren, northwest of Terldrassil
it's beyond laughable at this point, stop raping the corpse of WoW and let it rest in peace
>>The game is going Free to Play
this rumour has been going around for EVER
yeah, its even less likely now with m$ in the picture
why wouldnt they slap it on the gamepass instead?
nah if wow is on gamepass they would HAVE to make it f2p and add a battlepass thing
no way bobbys gonna allow people to pay 1$ most of the time to play wow
bobby wont be in charge anymore moron
lmao as if anon cmon
bobby will stay no matter what
greedy old pedo frick can not get enough money
he won't be a CEO anymore as phil will take over moron
bobby is done
dont kid yourself
I've been expecting them to announce the current expansion is on gamepass, while the game itself still requires a sunscription.
I am not expecting any major changes until the new year. They still have to go though integration of companies and swap things to MS books
On top of that More in depth reviews of games in the works and they still want Todd and bethesda to be the stars of the show at least until starfield is out

Playable red draenei is not enough, they need to add a sex minigame with them
These are so fricking lazy holy shit.
They had three existing good looking skins in the files.
At least they didn't get shafted like nightborn
I always said that I’d resubmit for 1 month if they added Eredar but that can’t be it right? It’s a WIP and we’ll be able to make them more evil and corrupted right?
can't tell if they will add more to it. it's just what was datamined from the first PTR build of the upcoming patch 2 days ago
They had existing Eredar skins in the files ready to be used by players.
Rather than offer those, they "went out of their way" to give you a 1-minute photoshop hue and saturation slide job.
Yeah, I doubt it's happening.
Did they add red Draenei?
Didn't the most recent patch allow them to become warlocks? I just checked the WoWhead dressing room and red isn't a skin color still.
Eredar are long overdue since they've just given up on lore.
they let draenei be warlocks in 10.1.5
red draenei are coming in 10.1.7, so next patch
Draenei warlocks come this patch.
Red Draenei next patch after a questline with Velen for Draenei. We currently have no details of how the quest plays out, except it unlocks Red Draenei customization

Zoomer purple. It's like a dogwhistle for certain people with colored armpit hair and half shaved heads.
I miss the times when purple symbolized royalty and luxury, not homosexualry.
Seriously, what is it with all that fricking purple?
It's cherry picked. Lots of art/media focus on single color pallete for aesthetic reasons. But some moron who made this image focused on purple like it's some conspiracy. You can make similar collage with different colors.
go ahead and do your own collage then, it's not cherry picking when you break out 20 examples from different games.

>retoilet players only see support as healing
They are not wrong though. As healer you drop buffs for your party and heal them.
That's it. I don't know why the frick would you want to try to reinvent the wheel while it is good as it is.
Well the reason you do not create non healing classes with low damage output is exactly what the image is showing
on the other hand in games with more depth you have classes that do just buff/debuff/CC and there is a ton of value to them
Wow just wrapped those support abilites into Warlocks Shamans and Paladins where older games had them be there own specs.
Eventually they just slapped them into other ablites or removed them entirely
that's what you get for luring in moronic furgays and ESL esportsgays

Powerful....
bro its just an illusion remember that old gods once lived woooooahhhh

WoW is twice as old as XIV though.
If you're looking at it like that, FFXI technically outlived WoW since retail is still "alive" (the game hasn't been shut down or shit, but dead population as frick) where you have to pay for a sub.

don't you have a thread to make on his sub crying that he doesn't play your dead asian pile of shit anymore??
A simple "no" would suffice.
>uh oh, troony buck meltie
you don't have to announce what you're doing
you're not a pokemon
Assmongold plays their dead World of Trooncraft = "ourguy"
Assmongold stops giving a frick about World of Trooncraft = "as dumb as that mother killing wienerroach"
Every fricking time.
How it must gall them that the game's biggest dancing hobo chimp doesn't even wanna play it anymore and hasn't played for more than a week concurrently after the release of "the best expansion!!!"
you're going to trigger xir again
please dont
>3rd worlders again dreaming over f2p when there's the game pass
lolmao
I feel genuinely sad for people who play WoW.
Especially if they try to justify it, incapable of stepping back and looking at the skinner box from the outside.
we don't think about you at all
>we
You okay there?
They've invested too much time to stop now even though blizzard is likely gonna pull the plug one day
don't
the few that remain are irreparably lost monogamers whose brains are so kaput that there's nothing there to pity
These people are lost. They are gone, they failed at life, as they are spiritually dead. They are literal bugmen who destined to serve as they cannot survive without the hive.
It sucks when you know these are the people you made memories with 10+ years ago, but it cant be helped.
>my game is so shit right now that i have to speculate on next product to cope instead of enjoying it
that's your state for the last 10 years move on already
11.0 will change EVERYTHING
When I heard they went back and changed half of the npcs skin color to black, I knew I would never touch a Blizzard product again
>his mother gets Fire Breath'ed while he plays XIV
>associates the two events together
>stops playing XIV because of it because it keeps reminding him of how he killed his mom
I actually feel bad about him, something similar happened to me when I was young but I got over it eventually.
Didnt your prostitute mother die raped by Black folk?
Why are you so upset on his behalf? Or perhaps it's you Zack?
i think he stopped because its shit and the community is a bunch of mentally ill troons
same with xvi. he pays lip service just to squeeze views out of moronic weebs
and also its a no content child grooming simulator
>be unable to do content (can't get carried like in wow)
>cope by saying there is no content
lol
what is there to do for people like him?
raids are shit and even less rewarding
dungeons .. lol
pvp... lmao
transmog system is ass
mounts look like trash
outside of erping with mods, there is literally nothing
>b-b-uut you didn't catch 10000 fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just have a nice day kek
FF14 not being made for poopsockers is a good thing
its not made for anyone, thats why its niche and dead lol
what games do you like
SP?
elden ring valheim kingdom come deliverance outer wilds
some of the most recent ive played
>its dead
>player numbers rising
that's a weird definition of dead
but this is coming from a wowbuck who sees wow hemorrhaging players from patch to patch and considers it a success
>rising
cry lmao
wow is a dead hemorrhaging corpse occupied only by troonies
>shitty made chart with no title
>meanwhile every site that accurately tracks player activity puts that garbage into the grave
>"wow is a dead hemorrhaging corpse"
>posts chart that shows overall stability and upward trend since 2014
You got my hopes up anon.
>occupied only by troons
That's every fricking MMO.
That chart isn't WoW.
Nobody fricking plays FFXIV on steam.
Yeah, they all play it on Playstation.
Every one knows Final Fantasy gays are just Snoys.
playstation 4 and square's own pc client seems to be the case
Japan maybe, I imagine the EU/US players are more evenly split between PC/PS but even then only a minority of players are going to be bamboozled into playing the steam version.
>ffxiv has a fairly sizeable playstation playerbase
>wow belonging to microsoft soon, will probably become playable on the xbox
oh god, mmo shitposting combined with xbox/playstation consolewar shitposting
i am already suffering a headache
im a wowgay and even i can't say this blatant lie man
you will never pass xivtroon
What content does WoW have? No, doing the same 5 dungeons 100 times a week is not content.
>actually playing the game?
>doesnt count, now go to the lala grooming club instead
uh huh
They cannot remove the factions from the game. Thats not how game developing works. It would require a lot of work and time. Also they cannot make the dumgeons for 4 people. That would require a lot of work and will not solve any problems. Stupid larp op, very fake and very stupid
Toxic positivity and women is what make ff14s community bad
>Raiding now 10 man only
Fake and gay
It really is scary how MMOs entrap so many people. Everyone I know who still plays WoW, when asked, will always either say: "no other good MMORPG worth switching to" or "spent too much money". The first statement is objectively true, I cant think of a single game that has both MMO, RPG and is actually decent. Every current MMORPG is a singleplayer theme park or completely lacks an RPG element to it. The second one is just depressing because I got that feeling before I quit WoW in Cata, but was able to question that thought and sealed the deal and I haven't played since.
>The game is going Free to Play
OMG PLS BE REAL
The absolute fricking state of this "game".
this is bullshit
>Anduin will return along with Sylvanas Windrunner
actually, that's moronic enough to be believable
This is complete bullshit if you follow this game
>if you follow this game
you but who unironically does this
streamers, transvestites, mentally ill, paid shills do
fair enough
I enjoy the game. Shocker I know. Devs are working on a ton of shit that doesn't line up at all
Reminder to the shills and fake leakers that Blizzard are so hilariously shit that they can't even do woke things properly and they end up being accidentally based.
Here are Blizzard making Chromie, their midget troony character get your character to facilitate and participate in the actual canon orcish rape and gangbang of Alexstasza. So she could give birth to moronic dragon babies the orcs would ride in Warcraft 2.
For years people thought Bliz were ignoring it so it wasn't canon. Oh well. At least it's not as bad as the rotting corpse hanging by the trans pride flag from a few years ago.
It's the same way as they try and make Garrosh unlikeable
But because they're moronic, they end up making him admirable for sheer lack of remorse
Only morons actually believe this. He's just a badly written character and you want an excuse to be a degenerate and an arsehole IRL.
Time is like cheese? Tasty and full of holes?
Who writes this shit? Do WoW players really eat this garbage up?
I am unironically convinced WoW is unkillable.
They shat the bed countless times. WoD, BfA, Shadowlands.
On record for sardonically making fun of people's valid concerns regarding the state of their class ("heh we do it because we hate this class and we dont want anyone playing it obviously"
They pozzed their entire lore upside down all while retconning stuff left and right and selling lorebooks that are meant to "set the story straight," but end up also getting retconned less than half a year after being on sale with the excuse that "urr those books are written from le biased perspective :^) subverted your expectations"
They had 9 months of literally no content because they were too busy molesting each other and covering it up, while Blizzard developers literally told entitled chuds playing their game to "stop caring about a lack of content if you care more about updates to the product you pay for than the life of le womyn we harassed, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!"
Their raids often release completely undertuned or so overtuned it requires 50% nerfs to even be clearable.
They had a literal "problematic content cleansing patch" where they got rid of emotes, flirts, jokes, , the word "consort", the word "damsel", swapped "enslave" with "subjugate" and changed "every man for himself" to "will to survive"any sexual innuendo that isn't approved by the zoomer moral police and a bunch of paintings all in a vain attempt to deflect from their own controversy
Released cringy facebook ads where they do sassy "clapbacks" at haters (people offering critique)
And still they have die-hard fanboys willing to eat up their every turd. Amazing. That's something to congratulate them on, unironically.
easy when every other mmo is trash
Adding to this, the natural and everyday term they replaced every instance of "damsel" with was "town dweller", something that sounds like it was rattled out of a cheap machine translation.
Nah, he just said you are *part* of the problem.
>Raiding now 10 man only
Based
>Primary antagonists are Turalyons "Legion of Light" and the forces of the Titans
moronic
As much as Blizzard caters to the raiders, there's no way they'd make it 10 man only.
They need to keep people in their respective treadmills.
raiding is already 10 man for most people
heroic is flexible 10-30
only mythic is 20
Ten man was the most popular raid format until Blizzard killed it to give the top 100 guilds le epic 3 shadow priest required encounters. Raiding has been slowly bleeding to death ever since.
>expansion fanfiction writers are ALREADY out in force
Pathetic.
11.0 will bring WoW BACK in a big way!
We have Metzen, we have Microsoft, we have KINO!
Metzin is a cuck who pozd wow up in legion. Blizzard will never be good ever again.
There won't be any more major changes to the game. Blizzard is now milking the mentally ill morons that are hooked on the game like a drug addict. It's what GGG does with PoE as well.
>>No new class, support specs for Mage, Monk, Paladin, Shaman and Druid. Two at launch, the rest in patches
now 10 man only
And this is where I know that you pulled it out of your ass
>in one week, they added two new shop mounts
... bros?
>Tauren heritage mount is a shop mount
le fishe
>Koi fish mount is extremely buggy and clips through everything
>Have to release another mount four days later
You only options for a decent visage are Nargacuga X Gunner recolors or recoloring top-left to make it look less RuPaul. There's a reason why anytime they advertised the visages they just hit the randomize button and called it inclusive.
>make a race of donut steel
>visage is locked to female human and blood elf male
>can't even wear your normal gear while as a dragon
How in the living frick did they manage to make them worse than fricking Worgens? Can't believe they actually let you play as a fricking racist species
>sub numbers so low they have to aggressively milk the whales
They have been aggressively milking whales for years now. Total Profits are up even with the low MAU (see before OW2 and d4 inflation)
They make MORE money selling garbage to players than they do from subs.
>25 euros for a single fricking mount
And is more profitable than subscription
This is the kind of crap that make all of the free to play rumors viable.
They could easily go free to play to lure in more players to "try" WoW, then just triple down on cash shop items.
Like a new cash mount every week, slapped with a limited time fomo tag.
Get more people in the door, then milk the addicts that stay inside thrice as hard.
Sounds like a disaster. I usually believe the leaks but this one seems like it’s deviating a little too much from the fundamentals.
If real then I guess im playing classic WoW for another 2 years then.
Wouldn't it make more sense not for the game to go F2P, but Gamepass will cover your sub?
90% of Ganker are neets that have a monthly income of $12
so of course they want it to go f2p
I just don't get it.
Why doesn't anyone want to play World of Warcraft anymore...?
What's funny is that you can actually make really cute dracthyr visages if you put in some effort
>asking Gankerggers to be reasonable
this happens with every game that has extensive customization
gays make the most moronic looking characters and act like that everyone is as moronic as them
>if you work real hard you can make them.. acceptable
>chuds btfo dracqueer don't look bad at all!
what is this cope?
They don't want to be a filthy dragon, so they want to overwhelm themselves with a humanoid form that feels super restrictive and counterproductive to what a "visage" is.
>filthy dragon
Jokes on you I love playing as a hot dragon twink and I've had like 80 goldshire erp sessions with just that character alone
they sell enough gold tokens
Ok but the game is shit and nothing can save it at this point. Even if Blizzard put out a 10/10 expansion in theory, the community would ruin it in a week
>The game is going Free to Play
>Raiding now 10 man only
>Dungeon parties now 4 man
>Sw/Org being "retired" as default capitals
Yeah, I am sure that Blizzard is going to rock the boat this fricking crazy when the playerbase is already upset at them. Why can't """""leakers""""" never make believable shit?
>WoW will have gone through 3 expansions in Endwalkers entire lifespan
Honestly i don't know whether to laugh or be insanely jealous.
What do you mean?
Laugh, wow is awful and has been for years, the only people still playing are sunkcosties on retail and fat homosexuals that want to “experience” classic wow and then defeat the purpose of that goal by buying chink gold. She’s dead, Jim
Why would you be jealous of that? One of the prime examples of WoW going to shit is that they keep abandoning expansions 2 content patches in.
WoW wishes it could have 5 content patches per expansion.
WoW expansions havent been shorter though
In terms of how long they stick around? Sure, but that doesn't exactly flatter WoW.
Wrath had 3 new raid tiers, one of which was 5 bosses, it had no post launch zones and was an empty raidlog expansion
BFA had 2 post launch zones, updates to 6 zones, 4 raid tiers, m+, warfronts, visions and other shit
>>The game is going Free to Play
lmao ain't no way actiblizz is doing that
antagonists are Turalyons "Legion of Light" and the forces of the Titans
>the good guys were the true le ebil all along
Idk I think they're kinda cute
in what way?
Even if Blizzard fired every woman and man who thinks he's a woman, then sat down and really cranked out a top tier expantion pack, things wouldn't change.
Time would march on. Six months later players would expect a chunky new patch of content. And all Blizzard can possibly offer is a new vaguely circular island with a new reputation to grind. A new dungeon, chopped into two halves to give it future longevity. Shotgun 40 rares onto the island that don't even spawn everyday and give them a 1% chance to drop a reskinned mount. Follow it up with a raid that was so poorly tested that it's either outright broken at the final bosses, or needs sweeping balance changes for weeks.
It's all they know. Firelands showed them it's all they need. Timeless Isle solidified the formula.
It's old, it's tired, and it's all they can do.
>Firelands showed them it's all they need
that was the patch i realized it was all ogre
>The game is going Free to Play
Yeah this shit is fake as frick.
Subscription isn't viable anymore and Premium account is more profitable than paying for paypiggy sub.
Shit all you want but TESO is the proof of this since they made a frickload of money off the ESO Gold and Store cosmetics.
wow will not be going f2p anytime soon no matter how much you want it to, you shitskin third worlder.
Black person i don't even play this shit anymore
And you are simply justifying your sunk cost fallacy and years of wasted buyers remorse cope.
Also Microsoft, Phil Spencer and TODD HOWARD owns blizzard's ass and they give the last call.
(you) Lost
Your shitty ip as all trannies working on it will die.
Why would they make it f2p when they have the gamepass?
It just doesnt make any sense
lemme tell you some'n
It's not going on Game Pass, nor is CoD.
They can do anything they want, including putting it on the game pass
F2p is a moronic business move with all the options they have
So is Game Pass, which is effectively F2P.
Its a subscription service
WoW sees absolutely none of the money that rolls into Game Pass, Microsoft is the one that does. Microsoft also showed everybody how small their dick is by saying Game Pass is not profitable at all and even the "loss leader" plan they had for it is tailspinning.
subscription service to game pass, not to worlo wawa
What? isn't game pass 10 bucks per month or some shit? how is this the same as F2P?? if they put WoW on game pass it's pretty much the same subscription model... frick that
You're not subscribing to WoW you dipshit you're subscribing to Game Pass
So?? it doesn't fricking matter who gets my money, FOR ME it's still the same shit, doesn't matter if i give blizzard 13 bucks per month or microsoft 10 bucks... fricking idiot
Why does it matter? At that point its Microsoft. They rake in all the cash and decide budgets
Because cosmetics sells more on a long run than fricking subs, and is raw profit.
This also does 2 things, it kills multiboxers and gold sellers because token will obviously in favor of steam wallet and gamepass services
but again, the game as of now is FRICKED over years of blizzard fricking with the code and tying with the Shit ass bnet launcher
And the degenerate trannies there will obviously throw the manual off the window as act of defiance against MS than let them work on the game to remove their shit.
Which doesnt matter in the end because MS can pay for a WoW2 and claim that all of the old game is non canon, or make a WC4 and say that WoW is a parallel timeline since this shit is canon.
>And the degenerate trannies there will obviously throw the manual off the window as act of defiance against MS than let them work on the game to remove their shit.
>Which doesnt matter in the end because MS can pay for a WoW2 and claim that all of the old game is non canon, or make a WC4 and say that WoW is a parallel timeline since this shit is canon.
boy you really, actually have it in your head that microsoft is gonna do literally anything to help actiblizzard
protip microsoft's own argument in the FTC injunction was that they only made the acquisition for CoD and king games (candy crush, etc.)
>he really believes in that
bros two more weeks and wow will be good again, trust the plan
(REPEATED THIRD-DEGREE BURNS)
bros two more weeks, trust the plan
Third worlders have been trying to say WoW's going F2P for nearly a decade now.
It ain't happening. Get a better job, or learn to pick one sub MMO to play.
>their own thread died because they'd rather seethe at wow
at least make it believable idiot
dead troony game
I genuinely do not think WoW has the manpower to keep their current expac going, let alone a new one.
It's chugging along as is.
But it doesn't seem to be bringing people back.
>Primary antagonists are Turalyons "Legion of Light"
What kind of stupid fricking nonsense is this
> Legion 2.0
WoW bros. WE WON!
You're misleading people, it's not real F2P but the same model as ESO, you buy the game, play for free, pay for expansions and there is optional sub that give you various shit.
good morning sir
seriously who gives a frick about this irreversibly destroyed troony game at this point?
I would start playing it again if it was F2P but if not they can kiss my unwashed nutsack, never paying for this shit ever again. Make it F2P already or watch how it slowly dies because people start to wake up and don't want to spent 13 fricking bucks EVERY MONTH to play a fricking video game. Frick you.
>I would start playing it again if it was F2P
Why? Do you genuinely believe that it could provide you any enjoyment?
We'll see, I have nothing to lose by trying it out. Not paying a single cent and will check if it still has the magic it used to have... it probably won't tho... still, I want to try it again
>NOOOOOOOOOOO THE COST IS TOO HIGH
>$0.44 PER DAY IS TOO MUCH FOR UNLIMITED 24/7 ACCESS TO A GAME
I don't give a frick, even if it was just 5 bucks per month. Not supporting this pay model. Unlike you braindead consoomBlack folk I vote with my wallet. I haven't bought a new game in forever, not supporting new games costing 70 bucks either, they can all kiss my fricking hairy butthole.
You can literally pay for the sub by playing the game lol
Or you can do a rewards site and get $15 in gift cards in two weeks just by clicking things
>there's people in this thread who has already made up their mind that WoW is now on gamepass even though that's not reality
Are you guys schizo?
Oh dude if you think it's bad here with mongoloids that think the M$ purchase will benefit anything in Actiblizzking, stay away from Twitter.
Its a reasonable assumption. Might be true, might be not.
But i dont see why they wouldnt promote their gamepass with actiblizz IPs
F2P is impossible in the foreseeable future. But getting a sub with gamepass will be neat
Why even play this game?
To farm your 400th mount, of which you only use 5 at max? And then some cash shop gay walks by with a higher poly, higher res, with special effects mount right past you?
To earn names on your armour which you immediately Transmog to the same Tier 2 you've used for 10 years? If not then just to play virtual barbie like a GIRLSPLAYGAMES.com dressup sim?
To barely talk to a group of 30 people once on a weekend at 12pm hoping not to wake anyone in the house up as the same morons fail to understand a basic mechanic?
To stand in a near dead Stormwind besides peak hours when you'll get an hour long queue?
why play any game? none of it matters in the real world
>To coom in goldshire and silvermoon
>To slow walk around stormwind with my high effort trp profile
>To spend 5+ hours a day roleplaying in Duskwood
>To shitpost in trade chat
.. And to sometimes do a few dungeons and catch up mechanics when I'm tired of actual content
You are more like >pic than a chad
>once on a weekend at 12pm hoping not to wake anyone in the house up
Why are your boyfriends still asleep at noon? Too much gay sex the night before?
I was such a huge fanboy of Blizzard back in Warcraft 3 and early WoW days. Now I wouldn't play their shit even if it was free.
I'd sooner play a WoD private server than play troonylands
>no new class
>no new race
>4 zones
kek somehow even less content than dragonflight? how?
>seasonal battlepass
oh boy they want the destiny audience, I'm out
>Classic WoW Hardcore
>World first KT clear achieved by guild who wiped to 4horse and permitted their own appeal because they are the admins of the addon
What a monumental shitshow.
