The whole thing had that canned corporate feel. A bunch of devs talking to each other like they don’t already know the information. They’re just so afraid of live interaction now that they have to resort to this canned show. Even if you go pre-recorded, it’s better to be conversational with the audience- like how Jeff Kaplan did with his OW updates.
The information was good, it just got presented poorly in terms of how it came across.

100% they practically demanded to be in the video. Everything about them screams "LOOK AT ME!". So, no, I can't agree with your take.

I don't know. When the woman speaks the two males have to nod to everything she says, but Hamlet can keep looking at her boobs. Privilege I guess.

This is probably the biggest reason why Blizzard fails: it already puts their target audience into a "this is corporate bullshit" mode. Doesn't matter what they say, the players will be wary of everything said.
Blizzard PR should be completely replaced at this point, and is doing more harm than good.

You're probably right. However, after Void Lords, there's nothing bigger to go to. They might do some kind of sideways progression at that point, like an AA system or content updates that aren't full expansions, IDK. I think it's more likely they start working on a sequel.
Another thing is that after Void Lords, the expansion settings will have lapped. They're doing the same thing EQ has been doing in the last decade or so: Revive the older more popular expansions in the form of pairs of new expansions. EQ gave us Empires of Kunark / Ring of Scale, then Torment of Velious / Claws of Veeshan, and now they're on the first half of their Luclin revivals.
In WoW's case:
WoD and Legion: Revive ideas from Burning Crusade
BFA and Shadowlands: Revive ideas from Wrath
Dragonflight and Elemental Planes: Revive ideas from Cata
Shas and Void Lords: Revive ideas from MoP
And then we've lapped back to WoD.
Part of me wants to fast-forward ten years to see what both EQ and WoW do after they finish this dual-expansion revival concept, if they breach new ground or what. I'm pretty sure they'll both still be chugging along.

After the hyper masculine SAVAGE homoerotisism of Warlords of Draenor they had to pivot to this cucked tranny and woman bullshit to balance it out.

One part of that interview with Shelly the meth head nerd and Heroin addict Ion kind of stuck with me. She asked about player housing and his response was that it just wasnt worth a 1000 man hours. I dont give a shit about housing, I really dont. Every time Ive played a game with it, I store a bunch of my shit there like a closet and play the rest of the game. But that gave me, the player, an idea that the budget just wasnt there for anything new and interesting that deviates "too far" outside of the formula.
So yes, they'll probably be repeating the same "idea's" until WoW is finally put on life support in the year 2080ti.
I think Microsoft will do something with it eventually, but I hope for God that its not based under the same Blizzard we have now. Bring back Blizzard North or something, idk.I wish these faggots had the talent to make world of Starcraft.

I'm actually surprised that the not-drakkin have two genders, rather than some sort of "gender slider" that adequately expresses the beautiful spectrum of gender. This would have actually been an acceptable race to do that with, as dragons aren't particularly known for having genders to begin with.
So basically I'm surprised they had enough restraint to not do that. Or maybe they just aren't creative enough.

As much as we might wish for something good. Microsoft isn't making anything better. Unfortunately, the only way we'll ever see another real innovative MMO that is fun will come from a small new studio before they get bought.

It 's funny that they spent 1000 man hours on garrisons and then abandoned them, can't be that hard to fix them.
Take out the stuff that makes you not need to be in cities and put a big Pandaria garden in there.
Add cosmetic options over time.

Raynor would transition into a woman. Into Sylvanis windrunner to be more specific.I wish these faggots had the talent to make world of Starcraft.
(Also they didn't have the talent to stick the landing on sc2. A genre swap would kill t hem)

How do I transition into a CDEIO position and how much does it pay? Will tuck cock for stock options and golden shower parachutes when it all comes crumbling down.

I don't care about player housing either, but 1000 man hours is nothing. It'd make a fair amount of people happy and probably add a lot to the game for those people. If all it takes is a team of 25 people putting in one 40 hour week, then holy shit, just do it.

I think everyone wanted a World of Starcraft, but they probably were puzzled on how to make something that wouldnt directly compete with WoW. About a couple years ago, I think they revealed that they had been working on a Battlefield-like game using the SC IP, but it got shuttered.
Honestly if they could make a looter-shooter in the SC universe in the vein of Division/Outriders/etc and make it online, and it was actually good, you could practically print money with that.
