Looks like they are shifting back to WOTLK for shamans at least so I'm good. Maelstrom weapon is good times.

I don't care if they (alegedly) fix it. I hate them for breaking it in the first place. Fuck them all. Delete the servers. 1002071 dead toons.

Except for the part where they nuked most melee class aoe abilities. Even abilities where thematically it wouldn't make sense. Imagine bladestorming and now hitting every enemy in range. The future of dungeons and m+ are in danger, and ranged will end up once again take up the spotlight. Can't wait to play boring ranged characters with Blizzard's super incredibly engaging ranged gameplay!

Why would you be mad about that? Ion kept referring to classic, they clearly got inspired by it and wants to move the game in that direction

AOE spam doesn’t belong in mmorpg, it belongs in ARPG like path of exile

Doesn't matter if it doesn't belong. So far all this change is doing is shifting the balance of power back into ranged casters. Which could harm the future integrity of high level m+ or just dungeon design in general.

We'll wait and see when it goes live. He talks a looooot of shit.

but will warlock be fun?

its so great in classic especially in pvp but boring as fuck in retail

Not only that but there are aoe windows, it's not like every class has constant upkeep on aoe. It's just shitty to make it less impactful when for most abilities it thematically wouldn't make sense. Especially if say a class like paladin gets reverted back to the state it was in back in bfa launch, a nuisance to bring in m+ outside of a few dungeons where the utility still wasn't enough to warrant bringing them.

Why would you believe a word they say when they've blatantly lied in the past? Are you retarded or masochistic?

So they can balance it. Aoe wasnt a huge part of classic and melee classes are just fine. Not saying its a perfectly balanced game but making it into a ranged/melee thing is just wrong

>believing fucking Ion
KEK

>The future of dungeons and m+ are in danger
Yea the cancerous future of AoE spam being the ONLY method people choose to clear the highest keys which is also the present reality. This change will be fine as long as they design around it which they obviously will.

Because these changes are physically present in the alpha you schizo freak. If they have a hard time going back on bad decisions they make then what makes you think they'll go back on the good ones?

Why not, nigga? Do you think he purposefully wishes ill on wow?

I just want fun progression again

Mythic+ has the shittiest meta. AOE spam is awful.

>tier sets coming back
they really said that?

Yes. Forgot to add also PvP vendors

that's because Yas Forums is only for contrarian shitposting
you come here to shake the beehive and mock the pathetic NEETs and tranny discord raids that make this place their home
don't expect actual discussion in this shithole

They're not in launch, but will "likely return". So figure out what that means in lawyerspeak. Probably means they will conveniently forget about them.

5 targets AOE

>spend a couple expansions making the game worse
>then reverse the shit changes in the next expansion
>start making it shit again after that

Ion and blizzard make a lot of mistakes and do a lot of retarded shit, but i'm glad that some deep issues have finally been addressed even though the average retard that plays the game can't comprehend it.

Putting cooldowns back on the GCD was a good decision and was better for the health of the game. Limiting and putting a cap on some AoE is also a good decision that is better for the health of the game. Many simpletons will not understand the science and reasoning behind it but it doesn't matter, it's better for the game.
Dungeons and raids having a smaller loot table is also a great decision.

>your social credit score has been increased by 10 points

You can never convince me that Burning Rush and Light of the Protector being on the GCD or the removal of Master Looter is a good thing.

That said, a lot of the things Ion said on the interview is making me a lot more optimistic about Shadowlands.

So game resets you to lvl 50
You need to lvl to 120 first or just 50?
Mostl likely droping it within a month but what

Did they say they're gonna stop shilling China?
If not then I refuse to play it.

I'll give you burning rush but light of protector i think is suitable for GCD. Removing master loot was a terrible idea.

Correct. The more like vanilla or TBC the game is, the better off it is, because that was when the game was good.

Why are they shrinking the level cap?

Two reasons. One, the level is getting high, making a new character and having to go through 130 levels is pretty crazy at this point. Two, stats are waaaaaay too bloated AGAIN and need to be crunched.

too daunting on new players. Even if leveling to 120 isn't that much of a grind, it sounds really bad for someone who doesn't play yet

The pasta could use some working on but it has potential.

Thats not real right?

Yeah it's real

Royal quads of truth. This is all class blizz “take shit away one xpac then look like heroes when you bring it back”

user.....

But retail has like 13 races and thats just human. How do they make sure all races are inclusive? Where are my brown orcs

????????????
Brown orcs already exist, and it's not just humans getting new customization almost every race is getting new skin colors, hair styles, and hair colors.

right here

Can someone give me a rundown on Ion? He seems to have a lot of detractors, but what changes has he been responsible for?

Attached: 1450077829868.png (339x346, 98.74K)

Is it just human colours or all types of colours? The blood elf looked like they just added for blacks
Im talking real brown, not that smudgy one in wow

Bringing back old stuff is not enough to sell me a new game when I can already play the old expansions with the same fucking elements. I believe they are trying but they still need to do something new that isn't just fixing their previous fuck ups.

They can fix shit like this all they want but the game beneath it is still fundamentally garbage

>gear is still just autogenerated ilvl trash
>dungeon finder still exists
>still no reason to socialize or party up for anything at all but the top 5% of endgame content
>professions still useless

A turd with sprinkles on top is still a turd

WHERE THE FUCK are my TUSKARRS?
You're gonna tell me that dumb fat chink furry pandas can be a playable race but these absolute Chads can't? We're adding either 90%-Humanoids or literal Furries instead? Look at this absolute strongman build, his calm powerful gaze, his threatening bulge. Imagine settling for less. What the fuck.

>less loot
Enemies scaling to your item score is what made me quit in the first place. Even playing hunter took forever to kill worthless mobs.

Kek i just remember really liking them in that tundra region in wotlk. Super comfy race dont know if they would make that much fun as a playable one

this

But will 90% of the World in World of Warcraft still be useless

I can't imagine paying $60 for blue legion hahahahahahhaa fucking retail fags still shilling all their neetbux to this dogshit ass company

Shouldn't you be shoulder to shoulder with some other rednecks at a Trump rally? Asian females should have been in the game from day one.

Bruh, imagine all the possibilities for aquatic based racials, and there isn't even a pseudo-aquatic race to begin with, and alliance needs a BIG RACE foil to horde's BIG RACES anyway.
They're also the only alliance race big enough to reasonably physically be able to hold up WoW's big ass pauldrons. Imagine being this Tuskar Paladin, JUSTICE FLAAAASH

How comes they have to "fix" things, if the last expansion was supposed to "fix" everything?
Do we really need to suffer this shit every two year they announce an expansion?

>remove features
>add them back and call them new
do blizzard tards REALLY?

>no more aoe
yea we know it's fun but it fucks with your design so instead of changing how we do dungeons or coming up with new stuff we decide to remove aoe
>no GCD changes
yea, we heard you but we want your game to be slow :) despite everyone telling us they want the changes reverted
>no ML back
>no tiers yet (might be in the future but who fucking knows with this lying piece of shit faggot)
>no M+ gear swap
etc
etc


It's another DOA expansion, people will play it for a month, realize it's once again shit with timegated bullshit and grinds that accomplish nothing and will drop it like BFA.
I was expecting them to fix some issues with BFA and make a good expansion but they are just so far up their own ass they don't care anymore. Raid scene will be even more dead than it is now and Shadowlands will become even more of a wasteland than BFA is right now.

Next year you will have this faggot talking how they need to listen more to the players and push even more retarded changes. At the end WoW was its own WoW-killer.

I started playing WoW in 8.3.5 how different did sham felt to play to how it is now?
