So after yoinking the sky scale mount from guild wars for their dragons, they are now going to yoink the roller beetle too, gotcha

Fair enough, I heard there was gliding involved. Freaking love the griffin movement, I respect wanting to copy it

Because there have been motor vehicles in Warcraft since forever.

We've had motor vehicles in wow since.... Lich King I think? At least. Since release if you count mecha chickens

I guess there are trucks in World of Warcraft

Wtf even is world of Warcraft anymore?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Warcraft 3 had helicopters and tanks, so cars aren't all that crazy.

Well, to put it succinctly:

Have we gone full circle to Rock N Roll Racing?

This sounds like a jump the shark moment

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Eh, it's about right for goblins though. Their racial mount is a motorcycle and they've built mechs, it'd honestly be weird if they couldn't make cars.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, they jumped the shark with the Kung Fu Panda expansion. That was about a decade ago.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

MoP wound up being one of the best expansions tho.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I do not dispute this point. It is hilarious to me that a kung fu panda expansion was one of the best. It being a good expansion does not make it any less ridiculous.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

WoW jumped the shark 2-3 expansions ago but now that Kotick is gone, it's been coming back. The devs are actually allowed to work on things they and the players want.

I was a hater but I actually love the current expansion and am looking forward to this. They stole skyriding from Guild Wars and we've been asking them to keep going - a ground mount upgrade to make it worthwhile over flying sounds awesome to me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Because of decisions that Blizzard under Kotick made, both in terms of products but also how they treated their customers, employees, and fans, I haven't given them a cent of my money nor playtime. Maybe someday I'll be convinced to come back to them. Bethesda's basically there as well for Fallout76 leading up to its release and after. Take2 and Gearbox as well.

I came back recently too and honestly it feels great. Having so much fun. They don't have the frustrating gimmicks that defined previous expansions, the new talent trees are really well made, the gear drops are fun and interesting.

It's a bit worrying for me to be getting pulled into wow again, I thought I was safe...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah it's not flawless by any means but they have been receptive to fan "demands" and are being uncharacteristically transparent about it. Like making everything cross-faction is a huge project and they were upfront about the initial jankiness and the inevitable slow rollout. Right now the only things that haven't been made cross-faction/realm are LFG/LFR and mail.

You can really feel that Kotick is gone and that the devs are actually excited to work on stuff. It's very telling that so many old players who swore it off are back for TWW and loving it - including my friend who quit for FF14.

My only real gripes with the game are with the engine and I imagine they're a lot harder to fix...but I would be smitten if shit like trees and awnings would stop blocking my camera in dungeons. And if ground effects didn't clip into the terrain.
