big if true
What's the fricking point of playing hardcore if you can just pay2win?
You can choose not to revive, you're not forced to buy another life
Or I can just choose not to play wow
>You can choose not to play WoW, you're not force to consume dogshit
mfw
>dude it's le optional, never mind that games are fun precisely because you can't do everything and the entire game is about solving the problem and getting around it
playing the game is optional too
The point of hardcore in an online game is that you have bragging rights that you've never died. Is there even any indicator that a player paid for ressurection?
It's not about the point of playing it.
It's about the point of charging for it.
Blizzard knows battered wife WoW addicts will go play on their "hardcore" servers regardless of monetization. The people who actually want to be there simply wont pay for a rez. The rest will pay and those people are who the servers were really made for.
I'll be you good money when this "hardcore" bullshit took off, Blizzard wasn't paying attention and praising it because it was old gameplay with a new twist. They were interested because players had just given Blizzard a way to charge them for their own autism yet again.
There was never a "point" to playing an MMO with a self-imposed ruleset that took away player interaction. This is just weaponized autism.
Hilarious none the less.
>They were interested because players had just given Blizzard a way to charge them for their own autism yet again.
This 100%
You know this is fake right? There isn't going to be hardcore servers
Nta but references to HC servers were already datamined from an incremental update a week or so ago
They would never do it, hardcore servers in a game like wow would never get off the ground, all it would take is one healer disconnecting and there goes a bunch of peoples characters
OH MY GOD JUST LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN
whats fun about playing on a mode called " hardcore" when there is a way out of the consequences of the hardcore rules?
>whats fun about playing on a mode called " hardcore" when there is a way out of the consequences of the hardcore rules?
This would be a great question if it wasn't for the fact that the current HC community is already designed around people being able to repeatedly appeal deaths.
ah so its just a bunch of morons who want the idea of hardcore but not to actually play in hardcore
Yes, with the exception of the ones on Turtle WoW, that is completely accurate. This Pay2Win thing from the OP is fake, so assuming blizzard has no pay2resurrect and no appeals, I will give them that same credit. I suspect the discord mod brigade are going to try and boycott blizzard's servers once they discover they can't authorise 5 appeals from their favourite female streamer.
>What's the fricking point of playing hardcore
It's for turbo autists who derive self worth from being "hardcore", even if hardcore means chain solo pulling bears for their asses for 150 hours.
classic was always p2w. classic wotlk is pay to win too. Ever since they let chinabots go rampant its been gdkp with bought gold.
What's the point of HC, then?
y tho
no way thats real
Its chinkzard. Everything is possible for them
You don't need to invent fake shit to hate Blizzard, they've done enough on their own...
This is just pathetic though... why doesn't anyone have critical thinking skills anymore?
because it fits the outrage narrative. Its not about what is true and false, it is about what they can be outraged about. It is just the other side of the coin from the feminazi lgbt outrage culture.
>critical thinking
no zoomers do not have this trait. their brains have rotted out of their head
This would only be acceptable if it permanently marked that character in some way so everyone knows you paid $10 to cheat death
if public shaming worked on wow players in 2023 there would be no wow players in 2023
Blizzard ban players and remove emotes used to mock paypigs in the game already, no way they'd do that
Forced title that's just the cash value you've paid to keep the character going.
Roman numeral after your name indicates the amount of revives you've paid for.
FF furries are getting desperate..
>imagine playing MMO games in the first place
If a K-Mart employee shits in someone's mouth, I don't then go out and say "Wal-mart shoppers are desparate" if someone says "I can't believe that K-Mart employee shat in that dude's mouth"

>Every game is overrun with horrific monetisation
They're up there
>Haven't made a good game in over a decade
literally the only reason you need to not like them, you didn't have make up 3 more that aren't even true.
How are they not true?
Overwatch was the first huge success of lootboxes in games that gamers actually enjoy.
Their Battle Pass in OW now is so bad that it doesn't even pay for itself to keep the hardcores buying.
Diablo Immortal is the most disgusting monetisation i've seen from a AAA game developer
No, that was tf2.
Various sports and milsim games were doing loot boxes well before Overwatch, it didn't popularize the trend, it was just another game that copied it
Their battle passes are nowhere near as bad as various mobile games and MMOs, if the idea is just that all battle passes are bad then I would probably agree but Blizz's are far, far from the worst around
Fair point on Immortal, I guess I forgot about that game. I was thinking more about WoW which is not very heavily monetized
you're overly sensitive
>you're overly sensitive
And you are a liar who can't defend a single piece of shit that falls from their cum-drenched mouth.
I think you got the short end of the stick on that one, homosexual.
That's why I said games that gamers actually enjoy.
Those dogshit lootboxes etc were kept to sports games which are a completely different audience than in actual Games. Blizzard popularised them to the wider audience of gamers.
I don't care about what shit chink companies are doing, but I don't know any western AAA company with battlepasses as bad as OW's
>That's why I said games that gamers actually enjoy.
but by whose estimation? sports and milsim games are massively popular, FIFA was the franchise getting taken to court and shit, not Overwatch, which eventually phased loot boxes out.
>I don't care about what shit chink companies are doing
Well that's your problem homie, I confess to not knowing the details about OW's battlepass but I'm sure it isn't like Lost Ark trying to sell you 3 different battle passes at once
>Blizzard popularised them to the wider audience of gamers.
No it was fricking valve you actual moron
Legion was 2016. Dunno if you'd count that as a game, but it was the best thing they've made since original WoW.
>Legion
>Introduces M+ (shit content repeated ad nauseam)
>Introduces World quests (Khadgar skype calling you every few meters, also shittier daily quest system)
>AP grind (dogshit and both BFA and SL had a version of it)
>Wellfare legos with RNG bullshit (fixed in last patch woohoo)
>Weekly chest (moronic loot mechanic, still in the game as the vault)
>Babies first WoW expansion
>best thing they've made since original WoW
It's almost like they put everything shit about recent expansions in that one first.
I've literally never done an M+ dungeon and never will. Didn't care about legendary RNG or the AP grind either. Did some world quests, they were absolutely fine. It was a great expansion with good class design, amazing locations, great music, and it's not really "baby's first expansion" given that one of its biggest selling points was tying up loose ends from every expansion before it. The sheer amount of old characters and locations brought back was amazing. Even random things like the prospect of an old god under Tirisfal were addressed. It was an expansion for lorechads who actually enjoy the game, and it had a bunch of systems which upset the morons who take things like gear really seriously.
Yeah, no-one would play hardcore in an MMO because of that. Apart from the tens of thousands of people already playing hardcore in an MMO going back years. I wish this place had usernames sometimes, I'd definitely laugh at you in a few weeks when it gets announced. Just imagine me laughing at you when it happens.
> I wish this place had usernames sometimes
No you don't, because this board has been laughing at you Blizzdrones collectively for 10+ years
Enjoy your gayfrogs and centaurs in WARCRAFT
>b-but what about gays

You first blizzdrone
Will do anon - I'll look for a therapist who specialises in... being told about gay centaurs by a guy on an anime website. Thanks.
M+ is the first time WoW had more than raidlogging, sorry you're too shit to push keys
Shadowlands didn't even have AP
Weekly Chest is no different than a boss on a weekly lockout
>M+ is the first time WoW had more than raidlogging, sorry you're too shit to push keys
Yeah God forbid people play other games between raiding rather than being forced to speedrun and mass AOE the same dungeons 10000 times indefinitely.
No you MUST play WoW 24/7
>forced
You're not forced to do anything.
>NOOOOOOOOOO Stop having content for people who actually want to play the game

Sure, it's the fricking same.
>You're not forced to do anything.
Except if you actually want to do end game content where you have to have M+ gear for raiding.
>Can basically complete them with closed eyes
except (You) cant, which is why you cry on Ganker about it
>You don't like it because you're poopoo
I don't like it because it's fricking shit. Just another treadmill to keep morons subscribed.
>Thank you Blizzard for being so generous to us.
>Thank you for not making new content but recycling old dungeons and turning them into M+ grindfests.
>Thank you for adding timers and terrible affixes and making the game even more poopsocket infested with RIO. It's worse than it was with gearscore.

You can always go back to Classic. Skull dies first, then x, sheep diamond and sap orange. Ok ready for the pull? Haha we're having so much fun guys in these heroics.
>M+ grindfest
Doing 8 dungeons gets you "max" benefit, most people just do 4 a week. You're jobless, that is barely a grind.
>bad affixes
You don't even get the second set of affixes until key lvl 14 because they listened to shitters like you, everything is also very nerfed at this point.
>RIO b***hing
It's literally as close as you can get to skill rating in dungeon content, let me guess you have mental breakdowns in other skill based games? Kek. You sound suicidal, you shouldn't even talk shit about trannies you are basically them in death statistics.
If his points aren't true, then contest them other than guzzling cum and calling him a liar.
Everything anon said is verifiably correct.

The HC crowd already allows this, they have discord councils who you can "appeal" a death to. There was this one female streamer who got like 4-5 deaths overturned on season of mastery. The whole thing is a joke.
season of mastery server was a different thing the hc discord council had no power over, they rule on classic era NOT som.
Not at all true. SoM had a buff which showed that you've never died, but the HC community on there basically rejected it in favour of the discord council system. The line they would all repeat is that even with the buff, you're not HC unless you used their HC mod from level 1 and submitted yourself to the discord council rule.
I’ve been playing hardcore recently on era and there’s actually no way of verifying that another player has never died and is adhering to the rules, which makes for golden griefing opportunities. I keep joining hardcore dungeon runs and people just assume that I’m hardcore cause all they can see is that I have the addon installed. I ran Wailing Caverns a bunch of times and every time I wiped the party by pulling Verash when we were fighting Lord Serpentine, I got over a dozen people killed doing that. I also ended some runs in Shadowfang by joining the group as a healer and going afk during the Arugal fight.
Unbelievably based. I played on Turtle WoW for a while (where the actual non-discord mong HCs play and it has no appeals) and there was a guy notorious for levelling HC characters purely to join SFK parties and then wipe them. I'm going to laugh hard when the blizzard HC servers launch and the gay discord councils try to screech their way into making everyone play on era just so that they can maintain their tiny amount of power. There's no way blizzard will be processing appeals from players.
Yes, that's because... that's because Season of Mastery has been over for 6 months and there is no current SoM server. They all transferred to either wrath or era when SoM ended. I am talking about when SoM launched and when classic era was dead. Are you sure you know what you're talking about?
>every time I wiped the party by pulling Verash when we were fighting Lord Serpentine, I got over a dozen people killed doing that. I also ended some runs in Shadowfang by joining the group as a healer and going afk during the Arugal fight.
Bed, Based, and Beyond.
You deserve an award for you service towards those mentally ill homosexuals.
Yes and they play on classic era servers NOT season of mastery.
>hardcore wow
This sounds like negative fun, like things I have enjoyed before stop being fun because of how shit of an idea this is.
Fake
>Die because of lag
Money stolen
so just play on non hardcore and get it for free
>paying for WoW in the first place
WHAT THE FRICK ELSE IS TYHERE TO FRICKING P[LAY YOU FRICKJING WEORTHLESS LPOSER?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
have a nice day weebshitter
how wow in anyway weeb?
I can just tell
i dont even watch anime
OH NO NO NO NO
WOWSISTERS OUR RESPONSE???
i already bought 12
>WoW hardcore servers
What the frick is that?
Character can't revive when you die.
I think it'd be cool to have a game mode where you can only come back to life if a Priest, Shaman, etc. resurrects you.
And also if it was done 20 years ago when WoW released
This isn't real, HOWEVER this could be something Blizzard could do if they want to generate more controversy and generate tons of revenue from morons. Reality is, people don't actually properly value things in games. With the way the current player handled hardcore environment has been going people will continually get griefed by certain mechanic designs Blizzard probably won't fix for stuff like vanilla classic, and since there won't be manual reviews everyone will just be considered dead no matter what actually happens.
Yes I was just thinking what stops some level 60 tank from just dragging a huge amount of mobs into a leveling player?
Absolutely nothing which is quite devilish. That's basically what's been happening to the point where the hardcore mod can now have people review deaths to see if it was actually griefed. The most you could do in an official capacity if hardcore was Blizzard sanctioned would be to get a hundred people to report an intentional griefer for an autoban, but as it stands now the report system has been useless for it's entire existence so people would get away with anything.
>The most you could do in an official capacity if hardcore was Blizzard sanctioned would be to get a hundred people to report an intentional griefer for an autoban
And this results in the opposite where salty morons mass report some guy so he gets banned.
If only Blizzard didn't absolutely gut their customer service team
>Yes I was just thinking what stops some level 60 tank from just dragging a huge amount of mobs into a leveling player?
Given how aggro works in WoW, how would this even be possible?
I guess if the mobs had aoe attacks he could try and catch the lowbie in some
There are tons of abilities that generate threat. Have you seriously never had the experience of seeing someone over aggro, die and then all the mobs come after you even though you never attacked them?
> Have you seriously never had the experience of seeing someone over aggro, die and then all the mobs come after you even though you never attacked them?
This only happens if you're moronic and try healing the person.
It happens if you use any threat generating ability while they are near you.
No, it only happens if the ability directly affects the mob. That would be either an AoE you're casting, or healing the person who has aggro. Otherwise they will reset back to their starting positions as normal. I can't believe I'm explaining how aggro works in WoW to someone in 2023. Even the original post got 3 replies saying that the victim would need to use AoE for it to work.
I replied to those posts moron. Can't even follow a 2 post long exchange or figure out how aggro works, have a nice day.
You can drop aggro onto people
Well some mobs do some nasty AoE attacks so you can't avoid that otherwise you'd have to avoid accidentally hitting them because a Paladin tank could just put divine shield up and all that aggro gets redirected to you temporarily.
Honestly I just want to see players piss off high viewer streamers for the reaction
It would only work if the mobs or the player cleave/aoe them, definitely much harder to do than one might imagine
Not impossible though
Can anyone even point to one instance of this existing?
no, but people will believe anything that makes blizzard look bad. there are people that still think Classic has a cash shop.
>still think Classic has a cash shop.
>Northrend Heroic Upgrade
>Northrend Epic Upgrade
>No cash shop
one time only, I don't really count them even if they are also shitty. i'm saying people, right now, believe you can just infinitely buy character boosts and mounts and shit.
> i'm saying people, right now, believe you can just infinitely buy character boosts and mounts and shit.
That's mostly just on here because when it originally got datamined, the screechers made about 400 threads saying that this was true. It then emerged that it was one per account and they started coping hard, but the damage was done.
yeah I mean i'm sure it's popular here but I see it elsewhere too, in normie spaces, so on. people I think feel like they need a list of reasons to hate blizzard (or anything for that matter), like their hate is more justified that way or something.
if you ask me not making a good game in the last decade is reason enough.
>believe you can just infinitely buy character boosts
>one per account
Remind me please, how much do accounts cost?
>okay yeah, you can buy unlimited character boosts as long as you pay unlimited subs
Holy shit I got destroyed by facts and logic
>Be me
>Be botter
>Make 100 USD/month/account
>Blizzshit bans me every 3-6 months
>LMAO just buy boost for new account and keep botting
I didn't say anything about botting anon, I just said there's no cash shop and you can't just buy an unlimited amount of boosted characters. Both objectively correct statements.
> one instance
What does that even mean in this context? It either exists or it doesn't.
It doesn't exist
They're literally killing transwomen by doing this. How can they pay for their bottom surgery when they've got to keep paying to revive their character?
You are as insane as them.
Time for another thread full of tards believing everything they see on Ganker
What the frick is going on at Blizzard?
TOTAL BLIZZARD DEATH
People are making fake images and you didn't lurk for a year before posting so you're falling for them
Sorry I mean probably sexual harassment
Jesus Christ this game was acceptable as a novelty like 15 year ago now it's just raping the fan base of morons
>same shit WoW....but ironman!
Do wowtards really?
It will be just mage/warlocks running around and level warriors in aoe farming
Wow sucks and the people who play it are bad people.
>official hc servs not even announced
>reverse image search returns nothing
This is obviously fake and you morons lap it up
and still, the niche version of the game has 10x the players of FF14. It's just so fricking sad and pathetic.
I think there is nothing more hardcore than paying to revive your character. Blizzard are geniuses. morons already pay them subscriptions to play with less content than Retail, why wouldn't they bait hardcore morons
fake and gay like the OP
