Isn't WOW dying from bleeding thousands of subscribers daily, which is what spurred Blizzard into actually making games again (i.e. Hearthstone)?

It's the end of an xpac, and most subscribe for like 6-9 months then take a break for like the same amount of time and come back when big patches comes out.

I was playing way too much Neverwinter Online and one day they had an event and I was chasing pigs and chickens into a coop and I was like wtf am I doing. So I quit that and then I thought signing up to beta test TESO would be a good idea. I even put that I was in the Goon EVE crew as a lie on the application, yes it had a huge rear end application.

When I finally downloaded all 20 gigs of it and a beta test started I couldn't believe what a pile of poo poo that game was. It reminded me of a Greenlight submission where some guy was trying to singlehandedly recreate Skyrim.

tl,dr: it gay, im gay

I have tried Neverwinter and found the mechanics fun to play even if it turns into a steaming pile of boring crap at level 60, is TESO actually worse? Neverwinter for all its faults is fun to actually play, the action game style is decent.

To be fair, I don't think Beth is handling this one but if they are then great, more fuel for the fire.

It just seems like most MMOs rely more on time based skills with cooldowns and I'm really not sure how that's going to work for the ES formula. If they aren't doing that (which I think is the case) I still found most of the combat pretty boring. What made the ES games fun was discovery and I just won't have that feeling knowing I'm in a world with 1,000 other heroes.

ten years is a hell of a run, and any mmo that tries to enter now can't reclaim that lost audience because they are now playing dota/league or phone games

It's probably gonna pretty much be like Skyrim, but with some keybond abilities, gonna be a shitshow on the consoles because of the lack of buttons.

edit- yeah pretty much

Paying to play an mmo you dont actually like because there might be a bug in it that you could exploit

the beginning of the game is really dark so i upped the gamma and your email is all over the screen. you'd think if they where competent developers they'd add that stuff post printscreen but they aren't and also the game sucks poo poo.

that would literally be the only redeemable thing about this game, broken funny stuff but that still doesn't justify $60 up front + $15 per month

Yeah WoW has been steadily losing subs since 2010, hence the uptick in poo poo you can buy for real money.

WoW's actually the reason I've never played an Elder Scrolls game for more than ten minutes. I've already reached my lifetime limit on grind and generic fantasy bullshit so it does nothing for me. Same reason I can't get invested in Guild Wars 2 or SWTOR. I feel nothing.

Hearthstone is fun though. I just don't see why I'd ever spend money on it.
