Given that Blizzard wrote themselves into a corner and ran out of lore threats with Cataclysm, how do you think they'll be able to end WoW in a satisfactory way?

Your character becomes the faction leader.

Nah. Nozdormu gives you a glimpse of what could be at the end of WC3 - WoW and you have to play the campaign in VI to fix it.
>>
Right before the trial Sargeras goes back to the past in an alternate reality to create a new burning legion out of quilboars. Once he is defeated in the alternate world his quilboar apprentice quil'thuzad ressurrects an undead murloc scourge in yet another alternate reality to fight in both the previous alternate reality and the actual reality.

Anduin officiates the marriage of Thrall and Jaina.
That second in command undead dude betrays Sylvanas and banishes her to the twisting nether. Meanwhile his Forsaken assassins put 100 plague infected daggers into Saurfang's flesh.
Vol'jin's spirit appears to Thrall in a dream to warn him that N'zoth is on the rise.
Muradin discovers that Moira was behind turning Magni into a pillar of stones. The second War of the Three Hammers begins.
Tauren envoys to Darnassus attempt to broker peace between the Horde and Alliance as chaos and civil war erupt throughout the land.
Sensing an opportunity, Gallywix sets himself up as warchief of the Horde.
Genn and Sylvanas are forced to work together for the common good.

Nope, games dead lad.
>>
>>376238550
Jaina becomes Garrosh 2.0 in the next expansion and is corrupted by N'Zoth (is not the final boss of the expansion but the final boss of a raid tier).
Anduin fights Sylvanas at the end of Legion/beginning of new expansion, avenges his father's death and truly establishes himself as the High King of the Alliance.
Baine Bloodhoof is picked as the new warchief and Nathanos Blightcaller becomes the faction leader of the Forsaken.

It's true, IF used to be the spot to hang around in the old days and since transmog happened it's SW now

Final expansion should be the Horde and Alliance finally coming together to beat Sargeras. Cross-faction languages and cross-faction raids. PvP will be 'going back in time' to experience what it was like when Horde and Alliance were at war.
>>
>>376239178
That seems to be what they're doing. Anduin is king of Stormwind, like in Vanilla. Illidan and the Lich King exist, like in Vanilla, Vol'Jin isn't present, like in vanilla. All that shit.

Everything is coming full circle.
>>
They literally have the "Well we need to go into another dimension!" plot hole. How do you think Marvel and DC stayed in business this long? They can literally do anything they want. That's what happen when the biggest threat to Azeroth is addressed in the second expansion.

WoW Lore is not about being good, it's literally just a simple excuse for people to kill monsters.

This is not The Secret World brah.

WoW is only at 6.

>>376236475
It's unlikely wow will ever die if they stop pumping out expansions and go F2P.

I can't see how their current model will sustain itself for much longer though.
>>
>>376239742
Their current model still prints money regardless of popularity. Expansions consistently sell millions of copies.

Unfortunately going F2P would kill the game more than people consider it to already be. Besides, not even XI has gone F2P. There's no chance in hell WoW is going F2P anytime soon. If it does you can say goodbye to content updates and hello to store focused microtransaction content.

>>
>>376239942
Well the current model is F2P for people who play the game. If you get enough money you have people who pay money, buy you a sub and you pay them in Gold.

F2P players still have to pay a sub, but it's some rich guy who is pretty much a Gold buyer who does it.
>>
>>376240187
That's pretty much the best system, since it serves as a gold sink as a bonus. WoW's dev team has been pretty hard on looking for gold sinks since they removed things like class trainers and flying skill upgrades for zones.
>>
>>376240080
That's goldshire. People go there to chill and PVP duel instead of staying in Stormwind.

Most of the rest of the world is barren because from 14-90, there is literally no reason to not to do instances.

>>376240428
I don't really understand it, but that's what I initially thought. There's not really a purpose for gold these days anyhow, only for cosmetics and mounts and stuff.
>>376240519
People bitch all the time about how high the numbers have gotten for everything. It's why they did that stat squish back for WoD. But the number inflations have gotten ridiculous and Blizzard doesn't seem to have a good solution to it ever.

I think they should leave the level cap at 110 and look back at that path of the titans thing going forward with character building instead. Like that Paragon level thing for Diablo 3 characters. Maybe design it like the current Artifact talent system or something.

Because we're pretty close to reaching numbers in the millions, and that's just going to make balance and calculations nearly impossible for people.

A player pay a premium for a WoW Token. WoW token can then be sold on the Auction house for a price. Then a player can buy a WoW token from the Auction House and use it as a month of Subcription.

A WoW token is about 20$ where a WoW sub is 14$.Blizzard actually make more money with WoW tokens and letting people buy gold than with Subs alone.

The average WoW Token is around 99 000 Gold right now on US servers.

Phasing has made it so fewer people appear on-screen while also making more appeal appear on-screen in other areas from different servers. It's weird and inconsistent but it's one of the reasons there are hundreds of people around in one place. Orgrimmar still has tons of people, but it has the phasing thing that brings people from other servers while also limiting how many are on-screen at once or something.

Cataclysm was fucking stupid.

I mean if you want, I can hop on a trial account character and run to a major city and take a screenshot, but you're only going to deflect it with a statement that vanilla had more people and provide an out-of-context screenshot from google.

>>
>>376242450
More players obviously means it's good. So CS:GO, LoL, Hearthstone and Playerunkown's Battleground are clearly better than WoW.

Why do people use population as a metric for whether a game is good or not? WoW at it's peak of 12 million players was during WotLK, which was arguably when the game started going to shit. People talk high about the expansion but leave out things like the TotC patch and the underwhelming ICC raid we were stuck with for almost a year, the first of many content droughts to come.

Also, WoW was everywhere in pop-culture. It was a complete meme game at that point the same way Minecraft is/was.

It's fine if you still enjoy it. A lot of people can still enjoy old games that have changed.
But for some reason people defend or attack it relentlessly, especially on the official forums.

It's retarded. You don't have to have the validation of others to enjoy something, not even an MMO. People play EVE and it's almost never talked about here. Unless something big is happening within the community like the argument for Anime or whatever.

I mean, if you do want to talk about population and quality, /v/ is one of the most active boards and look how bad it is. Or rather, look at how bad it's become and how many people have chosen to stay rather than leave.

But it's not dead by any real metric.
It still retains a loyal playerbase despite a drop in subs. It still maintains strong expansion sales. It still receives regular updates from the devs. It's only dead in the sense that it no longer carries the ideas vanilla WoW had since the people who worked on it have moved on.

If you have to say it's dead to keep it out of mind I guess that makes sense. But logically it's not dead by any means.

Who gives a fuck? The game is already beyond ruined.

It is completely fucked and can't be salvaged.

You can't.

1-110? I don't think that's doable in 24 hours
>can buy max level
not true at all, you can buy a level 100 boost though.
>reliance on legendaries
fair point
>carry runs
this has been a thing for a long time now

quality shitpost though, made me respond.

Ok fine, 100 boost only, but still basically max level.
I don't understand how you can be fine with carry run bullshit. This made me quit the game along with legendary reliance because no one wanted to do anything other than carry scrubs after we cleared mythic and high m+. Still can't believe I fell for legion meme.
>>
>>376248258
Carry sales existed for as long as MMOs existed.
Fuck off.

Already at that point. I'd wager the game has under 1m subs.

Do you even understand how profitable this game is to them? xD
>>
>>376248258
i dont think that carry runs are the problem here
the problem is that their isnt anything else to do
thats just the big problem of wod and legion just no content
and most of that problem is that they shit on pvp

You're completely forgetting the panda hype that was caused by the april fools thing. Blizzard thought of pandas as a joke too, but then a huge amount of people were actually demanding pandas. There wasn't a single day that went by that didn't see a new post on the wow forums asking for pandas.
>>
>>376231718
They'll end WoW the way Metzen would have wanted them to. The way they've done every single expansion: Corruption.

They'll corrupt Thrall, Green Jesus.

Prove me wrong.

i thought it was a meme
all my friends thought it was a meme
i remember weeks in teamspeak with random laughing fits because
>fucking pandas
to me it was just a giant blunder and killed wows style and story for me
and i cant understand what kind of person would think that pandas are cool
chinese?
but in the long term i guess it was good to add pandas since it made people take wow less seriously and all things considered i enjoyed my time in mop
and i still have that joke with my friends about

Wew fucking lad why?

>>376251664
Tauren were pretty heavily involved in the WC3 orc campaign.

Pandas were originally a joke that became slightly more serious with Chen Stormstout appearing in the Rexxar campaign for Frozen Throne.

Its still huge in Korea and it probably has the biggest private server playerbase of any MMO

>>376251830
I feel like there would be some "cultural appropriation" outrage if Blizzard put out an expansion pack like MoP today.

Everything about that expansion is stereotypical.
>>
>>376251664
it's autism, the game already had bear people (furbolgs)
>>
>>376248737
>>tfw Blizzard has been Alliance biased since Day One
Is that why everyone rolls Horde on vanilla and TBC servers?

Alliance had bad flight paths and therefore no infrastructure so leveling as Alliance almost always sucks. You gotta travel as an organized and coordinated group or Horde will shit on you because they get around faster, have better hubs, better graveyards. Alliance does have good racials but Horde keeps up fine, and then WotF makes up for any other shortcomings of the faction because it is #1 by far. Horde was always favored.

t. Horde player
>>
>>376251664
tauren were always portrayed as big menacing creatures with deep connection to nature
pandas were always portrayed as a joke fat race
the animal its based on isnt the problem its the story around it
and making an april fools joke into a serious expansion didnt sit too well with everyone

id argue that if you put a tauren next to a panda you would be more scared of the tauren
unless you have a thing for cows

That's pretty neat. I love the whole Old Gods part of the lore.

Too bad they're piss easy raid bosses now and even Lovecraftian Gods couldn't save the lore

they're overly cartoony in-game and don't live up to the concept art, same as worgen

Chromie gets corrupted and starts wrecking time all over the place, this is the last expansion for World of Warcraft.
The zones are all wibbly wobbly fucked up zones of already existing zones, they're not really connected to each other, the central hub of the expansion is the Caverns of Time.
The expansion ends with significant changes done to the timeline, like Arthas never succumbing to Frostmourne and never becoming the Lich King.
World of Warcraft 2 is set in the new timeline created by the last expansion for WoW

>>376254162
Chromie is the sub secretary to Nozdormu. She is 5man non final boss tier at best.

also what do you think would they call wow 2 if they decide to make it?

Reminder that their metric for "better" was average time spent playing, not active subs/players/money making.

The only thing that would satisfy me at this point is if some suicidal anon shot up Blizzard or Activisions offices. Everyone dies and we all pretend Blizzard died with the Activision merger.
