Wtf even is world of Warcraft anymore?
Warcraft 3 had helicopters and tanks, so cars aren't all that crazy.
Well, to put it succinctly:
This sounds like a jump the shark moment
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.
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...
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.
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.
No, they jumped the shark with the Kung Fu Panda expansion. That was about a decade ago.
MoP wound up being one of the best expansions tho.
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.
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.
Why are there cars?
We've had motor vehicles in wow since.... Lich King I think? At least. Since release if you count mecha chickens
not that i play wow but shredders too
Because there have been motor vehicles in Warcraft since forever.

I guess there are trucks in World of Warcraft
So after yoinking the sky scale mount from guild wars for their dragons, they are now going to yoink the roller beetle too, gotcha
Griffin, not Skyscale
Fair enough, I heard there was gliding involved. Freaking love the griffin movement, I respect wanting to copy it
gw2 is amazing 🥰
Have we gone full circle to Rock N Roll Racing?
Coming soon to Diablo 4!
