For many just having talents and equipment is enough to claim that game is an RPG, but I wouldn't call a shooter with these elements (for example) as RPG, because these are just mechanics, and they don't impact story or any decision making in regards to it. As for role playing elements, people have very broad definitions of them. It's a term for any RPG that is a computer game. We disagree on the fundamental principles of the game.ĬRPG isn't a separate genre. You seemingly don't like it or don't care or don't think it's a good thing. I think that's a good thing but it comes with some sacrifices. WoW wants some of that and tries to incorporate it so our characters and the world mean more than just the next lobby queue. Games that really have Role Playing elements. This is bland boring homogenized game design imo.ĬRPG is equated with games like Pillars of Eternity, Baldur's Gate, Divinity Original Sin, etc. That means no freedom in character design and no decisions that impact the *character* in any meaningful way.
The logical end of "people just pick the answer" is to never ask the question. I don't know whether or not most people do the same but I don't think that it's healthy for the game. You seem to live in a world that forsakes everything for min/maxing. They want Timewalking to expand to old expansions to make them relevant again, like having players visit Pandaria.Īs covenants demonstrated, overwhelming majority will make their choice based on what is considered the best for them. More Timewalking raids are coming to the future. There's a tremendous amount of content that needs to be manually re-touched and updated. Ion confirmed there's something planned after Patch 9.2, but "it’s hard to say too much more without almost spoiling some of the story that’s going to come".Ī lot of what goes into 9.1.5 isn't a one-off, but a reflection of them "changing a lot of the underlying philosophies that motivated their approach to designing WoW", said Ion.īeyond Legion Timewalking, the team is looking into making old content relevant again. We will soon hear about Patch 9.2 and the conclusion to the Shadowlands story.
It looks like cross-realm raiding is on the table. In the first part of the interview, Ion talks about the removed references, mixed reactions to all the changes, and how Blizzard attempts to build an inclusive world.
Venture Beat had the chance to talk to Game Director Ion Hazzikostas about Patch 9.1.5 and beyond, what's currently happening at Blizzard, and more.
