The idea being no matter what content you do be it some random quests in the Eastern Plaguelands or Island Expeditions in Kul Tiras you will always be advancing your seasonal track.

You will create your character and have a series of “campaigns” to play through solo or with friends but also a seasonal track comparable to a battle pass using a system like renown. Players will have an experience closer to Diablo 3’s adventure mode. The game we keep being told to compare our work to is not something like FFXIV as you might assume but Bungies Destiny.įrom 10.0 onwards after the events of End of Eternity the entire game will be reworked including Chrome Time which has internally been seen as a bit of a failed experiment in its current state. WoW is not going to release expansions after 10.0 but instead focus on “evergreen” seasonal content. I work on the live team and not 10.0 but I can tell you the Infinite Dragonflight are involved along with a shift in the way we release product. We feel like we are trying to trick the player into some habit forming loop like some mobile gambling app and it feels dirty to say the least. We do not like them either but we aren’t in charge and the ones that do seem to think we are working on a mobile project and not the rpg most of us signed up to be a part of. Most of us understand the complaints about borrowed systems. Intended on paper to be a 6 month weekly content update. It will take 12 weeks to unlock all base ciphers and the currency cap per week will then double this for the next stage of unlocks. The Cyphers are a retention mechanic designed to keep players subscribed. The game is monumentally tilted to horde in terms of userbase now and its almost entirely due to racial but for some reason the balance team refuses to buff any alliance racials or nerf horde ones. Like that would be the worst news for the company this year. The majority of the games flaws as a product stem from these two men who both only care about their own slice of the pie so to speak and the rest may as well not exist and mismanagement is team wide.Ĭross faction grouping is on the table because they would rather do that than take the bad press hit and merge servers at the risk of losing transfer fees.

He is generally oblivious to anything outside his bubble. He just sits there most of the day stress eating and barking commands but as long as it funnels players to his next raid thats about all the rest of the work is good for. Meanwhile as long as he makes raids Ion doesn’t care. The reason the Sylvanas book is delayed is because he didn’t talk to Christie Golden for months after she pointed out he was trying to bruteforce a Sylvanas redemption that wasn’t earned like a petulant child and as “punishment” she was kept out the loop WHILE WRITING A NOVEL ABOUT SYLVANAS SET DURING 9.2! We didn’t even know what Zereth Mortis was till 2 months ago.

You don’t know why the Arbiter broke? why he is trying to retcon Warcraft 3 into the jailors forces fighting the jailors forces? yeah guess what? NEITHER DO WE. We make assetts and raids and quests but don’t really know what for. When he isn’t gaslighting anyone that questions his divine god given narrative about certain characters he has an unhealthy obsession with -take a guess which- he is not really talking with the rest of the team. Its assumed its trying to riff on the media for FFXIV’s upcoming expansion but the sentiment around the office is its bad optics and seems insincere and delivers a narrative that we are imitating rather than interatingĭanuser is insufferable. This “final chapter of this book in the warcraft saga” was news to the team before the 9.2 video dropped. The higher ups assumed there were a lot more “heavy users” or “lifers” locked in for the duration than there appears to be, though the scandals could have something to do with it. Since August the games numbers have been in freefall and never recovered. WoW currently has around 960k active subscribers in the west. Most likely bogus given the alt right image board of garbage is the source. A supposed leak posted on the general forums.
