I remember a lot of people in the last threads making sage predictions that WoD was going to be amazing and super-popular. Saxophone posted:I can't help but think WoW is doing a fine job of turning people off of the genre. Here's lookin at you, year and a half til xpack. Nope, they want Legion out early 2016. If you think WoD was rushed and poo poo, wait until you play the expansion that's getting half the dev time and twice the announced features.

I don't even think FFXIV has as many player accounts as WoW has dropped this expansion alone.

FFXIV went 4 steps back from wow in terms of UI customization. Not letting you use addons to track buffs and debuffs easily is a pain in the rear end. Also you can apparently get banned or suspended if you call out someone who's getting carried if you use the information from a Parser.

I don't know how anyone can be excited for Legion, personally, for those exact reasons. Legion is going to be a disappointing shitshow of an expansion even more thin on content than WoD, and I think Blizzard is in full-on "milk it for everything while you still can" mode and will try to sell it at full price, even after just burning their playerbase with a half-assed expansion at greater-than-full price. ObOnTopic: But it will still be better than Wildstar.

To be fair, Legion is only going to take half the dev time of WoD because a large chunk of WoD dev time was eaten up getting all the Titans guys back on WoW development because I guess the mythic man month isn't popular reading at Blizzard.

I'd much rather have the way wow did it than the way ffxiv did it. One requires a several days long grind through story quest after story quest, with the hopes that pubs won't suck and your queues won't be too long. One requires google, or just a few clicks to the wow subforum on this very site.

Yes I prefer being forced through literal last expansions content as a gating mechanism to the expansion I bought too. Great idea!

Baller Time posted:Every MMO I try turns me off faster than the last one. The last two I tried took me longer to download than I actually played them. I play MMOs because they're really great for listening to podcasts and lectures. For some reason listening to a lecture gets easier when you've got some 3D space filled with people to associate it with, like an auditorium. Maybe it's similiar to mnemonic strategies where you associate ideas with physical locations. Might be worth a study, maybe someone did already conduct one, dunno.

Look man, you NEED to help Minfilia reconnect with her adoptive catgirl mother and find her necklace to fully appreciate the new expansion. I'm just now getting to the Heavensward crap. Almost. The Steps of Faith was amazingly boring for a raid where you stop the advance of a giant dragon down a bridge. Now I gotta help Tataru become an Arcanist and  ...I keep playing because gold saucer and chocobo racing, before anyone asks. Also the never ending quest to be a pretty princess, thus progressing to get to new dungeons for new glamours.

Well gently caress, I was hoping to use this open beta to see if endgame poo poo is fun, but I can't use the character boost npc because I'm not a subscriber. Good test, dev team.

But if you didn't help tataru become an arcanist how would you know that the new content is in the new zone. This isn't something you could just work out on your own.

These are all the quests you have to do post 50 in order to access the expansion. Most of these quests have multiple parts and take you across different zones.

That's fairly reasonable when you consider the original method of keying for raids in wildstar. The plot and characters in FFXXIV are as rich as wildstar's raids.
