@massivelyop yep. If it wasn't for WoW classic, I would have never gotten into wow because I didn't want to have to "catch up" 20 years of missed content.

World of Warcraft will finally implement story mode raids starting with The War Within

@massivelyop ah! Only 20 years too late! Who will care about the story if they won't know anything that came before it? Kind of a useless endeavor, no? They've been playing to the hardcore, "lore doesn't matter" types for 20 years, it's a wasted effort to go against that now.

massivelyop OP ,
@massivelyop@mastodon.social avatar

@BeAware I do wonder whether it's too late now. The types of people who would want this were chased out of WoW a long time ago and have other homes now. I specifically remember writing about this problem during Wrath and being ridiculed endlessly by the players benefiting from the gatekeeping, all supported by the dev team. [-Bree]

WoW Classic annoys roleplayers with Season of Discovery server merges

@massivelyop this is why WoW is so behind in their own category....it's called an MMO(massively multiplayer online) not a SMMO(slightly massively multiplayer online). Nobody wants to "choose a server". It's 2024 and there's no reason to have 6384783 servers that aren't connected in anyway.

This has been proven by almost every other MMO with Megaservers.

massivelyop OP ,
@massivelyop@mastodon.social avatar

@BeAware Yeah, I think it's the server classification - people on RP don't want to be shoved to a PvP or non-RP PvE server. A lot of them had apparently already been moved once, and they don't want to go to the new server and deal with toxicity they were explicitly avoiding. It's a looooong thread of complaints.

@massivelyop because they don't wanna invest time into it. Saved you a click...😬

It CAN be done, no matter what Godd Howard would like you to think. It's simply a matter of investment vs payoff and they won't do it because they make more money with it being seperate.

We're gamers, not idiots.

@BeAware Because it's hashtagged in the title as a joke, like :P Not really expecting it to be searched on. Social media just picks it up as a legit hashtag.

@massivelyop ahh. The joke flew over my head like the time-lost proto Drake when I got up to go to the bathroom.🤦‍♂️

The Daily Grind: What’s your biggest complaint about mobile MMOs? | Massively Overpowered https://massivelyop.com/2024/04/29/the-daily-grind-whats-your-biggest-complaint-about-mobile-mmos/

@massivelyop I’m going to say something other than “egregious cash-shop abuse” and go with the incessant tutorials that treat every player as if this were their first game ever.

It goes beyond mobile MMOs, though, as I think every mobile game out there has a bad habit of “telling, not showing” players the ropes. Highlighting a button to press isn’t helping players understand WHY they would want to press it, just that they need to remember to mash it like a monkey on speed.

@belghast @scopique @massivelyop I refuse to recognize the concept of a "mobile MMO". You two may as well be arguing over potions that use narwhal horns.
