    I understand the frustration of not being able to complete all of the content but it’s not blizzards job to help you juggle 3-4 versions of their game. If you don’t have the time to do it you simple don’t have the time. Prioritize and enjoy what you can complete

    • @Otakahunt
      @Otakahunt 2 месяца назад

      Thats not an excuse. The game has alot of droughts all the time... some people like world of warcraft in general and want to play it all the time but how can they if there are content droughts only because blizz doesnt stagger their releases, its literally in their best interest to stagger the releases so people never unsub.
      Also its an MMO that requires more commitment than other games because fomo is actually real since its a community based game, if youre not involved at launch you will miss the most fun part of an MMO and will also fall behind in some versions.
      Its inexcusable to release two different versions with 4 days apart... in an mmo that takes a week or two before youre bored outside of raids, like what happened with their patches all the time prior to classic. And classic is a much slower version.
      Now that we think about it, it actually is blizzard's job to make us juggle between the game versions and theyve done a piss poor job at it. Most casuals only have time to play one version fully at a time and another secondarily... so them releasing like 4 different variants to be played at the sametime dilutes the community massively thus making all versions of the game worse as a result.
      Its not about completion, its about entertainment. Never force people to prioritize, give them an incentive instead.

    I would hate to be a wow dev people screaming content drought after speed running all the content faster then you can make it while also be mad when you slow them down for year after year only to eventually get to the point where now people are screaming about too much content

    • @Otakahunt
      @Otakahunt 2 месяца назад

      They hardly slowed it down tho... and the only reason why people are "speed running" the content is because theres so little content and its too easy. SoD has an exp buff and in p3 you could get to max level in 6 hours, that doesnt look like "slowing it down" to me.
      Again, the devs have been digging this content drough-hole for years... they keep releasing content thats done in less than 1 week by casuals and then its annoying chores with raidlogging again and they are supposed to be surprised people are asking more content so soon?
      Theres a reason why classic at launch lasted for several months before the tourists started logging off, the content was alot slower despite being so old we knew everything about it.
      They are cannibalizing their own game versions because of the content being too slow to develop and too fast to complete for the majority of the playerbase. Raidlogging is not inherently fun, especially during a content drought.
      Retail raids for example are way too complicated design for their own good... it probably takes many months to make them (and resources, probably more than the overworld because of the different difficulties). If they made the raids alot simpler (simple doesnt mean easy, look at elden ring) they could make more of them faster.
      Molten Core was originally done in 1 week, imagine if they did one such new raid a week and released them in a bunch every few months (or any other content, doesnt have to be raids)... it would be ALOT of content thats not too hard and not too easy. In classic it was cleared in a day but thats because of the 15 years of knowledge, imagine if it was brand new design and nobody knew anything about it.
      The hardcore nolifers would clear it in 1 week if not a day for sure but not those who cant play without guides, and boy is there alot of those kinds of casuals. :D
      Current raid design drains too much resources from the development for so little gain and such little participation. Its just sad and its their longest format content and its cleared in less than a month if youre not doing the hardest difficulty which most arent.
      We dont have to go to 1 week development but it certainly shouldnt be this bad of a ratio.
      SoD content feels so minuscule in what it actually delivers and even the old content is altered to be faster so i dont blame you for thinking everyone speedruns it.

    I think the main take away here is that there is no perfect solution there will always be issues and those issues are also subjective. It's probably better over all to provide customers with more choices then less. Some people will nope out and not play anything because of too many choices but most people will play the 1 or 2 versions they like and the rest will dabble in all of it.

  • @Neero_90
    @Neero_90 Месяц назад

    14:20 they see characters created /levels achieved / hours played etc, and combine it with player feedback from every platform and by this point should have a good idea of what people want and dont want (COPIUM) but the rate blizzard develops classic is very slow for a seasonal game version like SoD, thats why SoD has gotten less and less players because the only seasonal update and addition to classic is a new reskinned raid and a small world pvp event, its great for the first 2 seasons but most of us expected more and expected blizzard to expand the classic team way more to be able to pump out bigger content patches then that.

    Wel, they do know exactly how many unique accounts are playing each version, and they know exactly what each account is playing. It really doesn't matter in the end for them if you're subscribing for Classic or Retail or MoP or SoD, what matters is that you are bouncing in that ecosystem and staying subbed.

    It’s actually funny how all these content creators who are not developers always make the statement that Blizzard Devs don’t have mechanisms to track how users use their different IP products. I speak from experience as a product owner in a SaSS company, it’s about the easiest thing to track. Blizzard has exact metrics on how long a user (their specific login) is on a product, how many things they do in that content, and how much they don’t do. They can generate those numbers at scale for all users and all derivates in their products to make strategic decisions about which products to focus on.

    People sleep on Maplestory it came out in 2003 before WoW, and it basically created Gacha and P2W, but no one knows it, and it still hasn't died. I always liked Maplestory more than any MMO, until the Big Bang and it became insanely P2W. I also liked Guild Wars 1 more than WoW, that's probably the best Western MMO ever created. WoW just appealed to the masses, and had tons of marketing.

    If a Wow expansion is good I stick around for 3/4 months like I did with Dragonflight. Last time I stayed longer than that was Legion. BFA I dipped out very early I was extremely annoyed with the Azerite garbage system, and Shadowlands is the first expansion I didn't even try ever. I just don't have the patience to put up with grind fest unfun chores anymore, especially on a game I'm paying a subscription for. Oh, Dragonflight Solo shuffle queues takes one hour and group finder PVP is still unusable? See you next expansion. Back in the day I would have stayed playing through the bad times and things that annoyed me until it felt like a chore and got burnt out, which lead to me liking WOW as a game less over time. Don't do that anymore I just dip.

    No such thing as too many WOW's you just play the ones or 1 that you want to I wouldn't play SOD it looks shit Rogue Tanks which idiot had that idea. Vanilla Classic id play for sure I started back in 2004 but id also play Retail again if it goes on Game Pass as I have a lot of friends who play through XBOX and they would love to give WOW a go and it may force Blizz to get rid of addons as they wouldn't be allowed on console.
