Why do all of you retail Andy's think in such zero-sum terms? It's not mutually exclusive, you can dislike several aspects of the newer philosophy while appreciating older aspects but wanting them to be implemented in an improved and thus newer, more modernized way. A third philosophy, basically, which builds upon the best aspects of old yet makes them better, and doesn't get stuck in the absolutism of classic-Andy thinking... but everyone in this divided community thinks in overly zealous ways, you either have to be fully content to embrace everything modernized systems have to offer uncritically or the opposite, as if there can't be an inbetween.

Yea.. Chris Metzen just came back and we still got Early Access for the first time in WoW. That kind of bullshit is sadly not going away. Blizzard exploits the love and nostalgia players and devs alike have for their franchises to make their little money making machine spin, and they're gonna do whatever they can get away with to make it spin as fast as they possibly can. And the sad part is people just eat that shit up. Blizzard has basically become the Apple of video games. Completely overpriced sub-par products, with terrible customer support and anti-consumer practices, yet people still line up to not only buy everything they put out, but they go out of their way to buy all the accessories and publicly defend the company and their practices. It doesn't even matter if millions have stopped playing, because the whales just keep going and the money they milk from them with all these additional monetization means their revenue still goes up.

[@esarius]

Chris is Creative Director, not whole director of whole game

@@esarius Yes, that is the point - I was replying to a comment made in the video. And, in general, on the idea that even when they are announcing new exciting things with potential still the monetization is getting worse, not better.

[@xRaistx]

I mean yes, but also no. I look at it like, if we have early access with a large game, that'll have a HUGE amount of players. Early access helps throttle how many people are playing at once, and in a sense makes launch smoother. That's what I take away from early access. I'm also not an angry whine ass though.

[@Kolvarg]

@@xRaistxAnd yet people still experienced connection issues and lag. It's almost as if the actual reason is pure corporate greed.

1 - early access : sucks but u weren't scammed they were clear that virtually everything would be gated 2 - Overworld : Zones are now designed around flying so that you can enjoy them & interact with them while flying 3 - World PVP : If you play for little less than a week you'd find the world pvp hotspots & that u can dismount people in the air by flying through them .. There's even gear & rewards specifically for WPVP if that's all u wanna do 4 - Dungeon queues : you don't actually queue for M+ dungeons or raids , which is the vast majority of end game , you have to actually fly there & the entrances of those instances are always packed .. 5 - War mode : his opinion on warmode is so binary , he wants to be able to grief people or not have the option to at all. Warmode provides the best of both worlds & isn't overly conscriptive , how many people roll on a pvp server or a pve server in vanilla without a clue of the implications. 6 - class design : this is just a classic andy giving his 0 insight take on retail design by comparing it to vanilla design when the 2 games are night & day , if only 2 classes could AoE guess which classes would have 100% of the invites in M+ & guess which won't , this goes for everything. Class fantasy & class design are not the same thing , class fantasy nowadays is at its peak with demo warlocks being able to summon pit lords & the legion itself , unholy DKs lead an army of the dead , shamans shit thunder out of their ass & on & on & on. Dps can't heal , they can press defensive CDs , a ret paladin for example can only fart 5 sloppy flash heals before going oom. a mage doesn't heal , he pre-alters to go back in time. What Quin doesn't understand is Nuance , every class works differently in the end game & every class provides different their own flavor of DPS & utility ... While retaining their own identity , something Classic couldn't have done because the game was in its infancy so it resorted to the extremely binary class design of lol this class has AoE & this class doesn't , to give its classes a different feel in gameplay , Retail doesn't need to do that anymore because it's been 20 years in development. PVP gear scaling : I don't even understand his point here , PvP to be fulfilling in literally any game needs to be set in skill & not some arbitrary number , that is why pvp gear is so equalized so the amount of numbers you have in game edoesn't dictate who wins , skill does. That is why PVP gear is so accessible , so u don't have to waste ur time just so u can have a fair chance. PVE & PVP gear being completely separated is a blessing because not only do u not have to choose one over the other anymore , you also aren't forced to do something you don't want to do in A Videogame. WoW Tokens : They Suck but I would argue are absolutely Irrelevant , I have played the entirety of Dragonflight without once farming gold or buying a token & i've never once felt the need to do so while playing every class in the game & also bought a shitton of BOE transmog from the AH. If you just play the game , you'll never have to buy gold. Also Thor (PirateSoftware) who worked at blizzard has stated multiple times that the token's real intent was to eliminate the ungodly number of people that were having their accounts stolen from 3rd party gold sellers which were rampant & it succeeded in doing so Cosmetics : this is pure brain rot , there's literally over a thousand sets in the game from every corner of content , and since dragonflight in-game cosmetics have reached a new high in both quality & quantity , to claim that 1% devalues the 99% of unique cosmetics you can earn in game is just brain rot , don't get me wrong , I wish that 1% didn't exist , but I also can't pretend that the trading post which has added So Many unique good cosmetics just for playing the game doesn't exist , and as someone who's from a 3rd world country i'm also very grateful that the sub fee hasn't changed in 20years from 15 dollars , not even to mention that even the relatively few store cosmetics/mounts rotate on the trading post. Levelling : it shouldn't be piss easy , challenge = fulfilling gameplay , they seem to have hotfixed the levelling scaling aas of the latest patch hope it does something , but the levelling system in retail needs to be re-imagined as it's arguably its biggest weakness , something in the works has been hinted in TWW interviews for a future expansion. Claiming that you love WoW & refusing to see any good in it is very disingenuous , therefore I deem this whole video : Ragebait farming.

For all of Blizzard's faults, they understand their current playerbase. People are no longer teens or in their early 20s. The majority of the playerbase has gotten old; has real life responsibilities that eat their time up. Maybe they got time for 1-2 hours of leveling here and there. Maybe they got time to do some M+ here and there. This time-gate gives most of the older playerbase time to catch up. People like Quinn who get to play games for a living and still play games like we all did in our teens, just dont understand that most of the other people in WoW have a family, a house/yard/etc to upkeep, a career, and basically live vicariously through streamers like Quinn who still enjoy games like we all did 20 years ago. But sadly we just arent like that anymore. I got maybe an hour or 2 here and there to play a game. I havent even bought the expansion yet; I'm glad there is 3 weeks to get everything straight. The unfortunate truth is WoW doesnt appeal to younger generations anymore, and its a dying playerbase that has slowly changed its gaming habits over the years, and Blizzard is slowly but surely catching on to this fact.

The take on PvP gear is absolutely dog water. You don't just go farm a raid every week to get a trinket anymore. There's Mythic raiding and M+ and difficulties that are far beyond "Oh just jump in a group every week an get cool gear" Trying to mix PvE and PvP gear is literally what everyone has wanted to get away from since the game's came out. But he wants it to be back so he can get into free group runs, get cool gear, and shit on people? That's fucking stupid. I think PvP gearing is in one of the best positions its ever been in and people are actually equal and it's more about skill than gearing....and he wants it to be about him being able to get hard to get PvE gear and shit on people. It's not just templates because you can craft PvP gear that you like with specific stats you want. He probably never played when the game had ACTUAL stat templates and PvP gearing was 100% irrelevant, THAT was dog shit. How it is now is far from that and a lot better.

WoW is an MMORPG, and a core gameplay loop of an MMORPG is to gear up. In my opinion, WoW, both in PVE AND PVP should be designed as an MMORPG, not a MOBA, or a competitive ARENA, or a LOBBY Dungeoin spam game. Like Quinn said, if you want a competitive pvp game where every player is built equal, there are plenty of other games for that, thats not what an MMORPG is.

Cata and Mop era was the best and most practical pvp gearing. Conquest vendor for higher tier gear and honor vendor for starter pvp gear.

The crazy thing to me about all of your complaints, with the exception of the early access thing, is that they're things the community actively fought for. People *wanted* faster leveling. They wanted not to be forced to PvP to get gear for PvE. They don't want to farm gold. They want classes to be balanced, because the endgame is what people care about. The things that made you quit are the things that make the game still worth playing, and I say that as someone who started playing in vanilla. That old way of designing games is outdated and grindy and not fun in 2024. It probably wasn't even fun in 2005; we just didn't know any better yet.

You’re right that it’s definitely too late to remove flying now unless there’s a lore/zone/expansion specific reasons, the cats out of the bag at this point. However, I still think you’re dead wrong about the effect it has on the zone playability and game overall. You even admit it in your reply, “it’s makes traversal a big pain in the ass for everyone”. Yeah, exactly. That used to be part of the game, until everyone started to treat gaming like a job and min/maxing their time and efficiency. Travelling through the zones wasn’t just about immersion, even though I think that’s a big part of it, it’s about having to interact with the game between your ‘point A ---> Point B’ gameplay. Whether that be interacting with mobs, npcs, quests, gathering, other players, atmosphere etc. All of that goes out the window when you’re just flying in the sky alone to the next objective. I mean seriously think about this for a moment, what exactly is so important that you need to fly everywhere simply to save time? Is getting to your next world quest that important? If your time is so very precious that you need flying that badly, why are you even playing the game in the first place? Are you even having fun? Too many people play this game like it’s a career.

I think you make alot of valid points here, specifically i do agree about flying and the world feeling braindead easy and therefore not engaging, also with the PvP being quite bland with the pace and time to kill being so slow. One thing i will say though is while it did feel nice to be able to get that OP trinket and bring it into PvP that is just not something that can be done anymore. Back then it wasn't as common as it is now to google how to gear and play your class, as much as we hate to say it meta chasing has the same end result of people playing templated characters. Everyone is just chasing the same end pvp set that every website has labeled as the best build. I also agree about the pvp gear system too, but that is just me and you that like PVE and the idea of having to do PVE to do the PVP. Thing is that wow has had pvp players complaining about having to do that very thing, almost impossible to make everyone happy in that scenario. The pacing however is the more important issue for sure, i've seen alot of wow pvpers talk about it and the best solution that i hear being brought up is exactly what you're talking about where abilities feel impactful, i'm hoping they do something similar to other MMO's where abilities have a PVP and a PVE variant to help cut down on all the extra proc / aoe stuff they added for mythic +. I don't think its a un-recoverable situation but I'm glad you made this video and i hope the Wow dev team takes some of it to heart.

The sense of agency regarding combat (PvE & PvP) and interacting with the world & other players, that naturally came with playing WoW during Vanilla, TBC and Wrath, is missing in modern WoW. I hope they rectify this. This game could be even more incredible. 🙌

If you want to spamming frost shock and lightning bolt there is a game version for that.

Overall based takes. Flying while cool on paper, makes all mmo works tiny and ruins open world interactions.

"to be fair you could fly there too", "to be faire mages seem pretty balanced right now", "to be fair dragonflying is pretty cool", "to be fair i do sound like a classic andy", bro all your points you instantly counter them yourself xd you just got butthurt by the timegate and the pre release, you just sound like those old heads "back in my day it was so much better". They just make the game more accessible and less grindy, it's just not for you anymore. that's it. move on.

[@MartinWoad]

Remember that even with PvP and PvE servers you could still flag yourself on PvE servers. So we effectively had war mode before it was a thing, Blizzard just deleted PvP servers.

[@robertwitt2468]

they basically just made it so you cant flag, kill someone, and then sit in stealth till you arnt flagged anymore. now if you select war mode you are stuck in it. It is a good thing.

[@BoyoLoco-rd2fi]

Still mad you cant kill a guy in greens who doesnt want to fight back?

[@MartinWoad]

What are you even on about? I don't even think I've ever attacked anyone in the overworld, I usually was ganked myself. But then again, I mostly played on low pop vanilla servers, so it's not like there was a lot of opportunity.

[@jonmultimedia]

Wow is shit for several expansions now. Don't blame you. It's a waste of money and time, imagine paying for early access lmao docLeave. Play Elden Ring DLC and Wukong Quon...
