Housing in World of Warcraft

Difference : Yoshi P - "We need to go on the attack" actual quote from an interview when he said they had like 3 other titles on the make= Focus on multiple titles, dividing budget and staff, making for 5 month patches with minimal repeat content.

Blizz: "We need to go on the attack = Focus on WoW with a clear roadmap, teasing new features.

I reckon its staff, budget and bad direction / corpo meddling which includes Yoshi P

They plan to sell lots of virtual furniture for cash.

Ffxiv has a cash shop for housing items, dyes, mounts, glams, orchestrions, emotes, HOUSING ITEMs, level and story skips, retainer skips, 5 euro inventory space addition + extra return point and remote marketboard albeit limited to kupo nuts. Dont remember if you can buy those for cash too.

They are not focusing on WoW. They have content coming, but the game is not being maintained well. They have a dozen other projects, and WoW is literally falling apart, data being lost, and content is inaccessible. They have been laying off like crazy this year.

It's not just housing that's coming to WoW. Blizzard is also launching a completely new game and judging by the trailer, it's actually pretty good. The new game is called Avowed. And my first thought was, I'm totally in.

Oops. Doublepost. The main argument probably will be "Well thats WoW, different game, go play that and unsub if youre unhappy"

People forget when they made ARR they looked at WoW and other competitors. He even made the devs play WoW. You look at what your competition does at all times, put your own twist on things and INNOVATE. Hell sometimes you even straight up steal content and make it better.

Meanwhile WoW is built on over a 20 years old engine without much limitations.

In all my years playing WoW, I never really saw anyone bringing up the engine unless it's the same talk as (We need WoW 2 to fix the game direction and start fresh again!)

I haven't played since MoP, but even back then there were discussions about WoW's dated engine. It was build upon a modified version of Warcraft 3's engine and there are many things that are extremely difficult, if not impossible to change since they're so hard-coded into the engine. The reason why there's never been a WoW2 is that WoW was never in such an abominable state that FF14's 1.0 was (although they did have another MMORPG in development for a while before canning it).

Some people seem to think that everything in FF14 is the way it is due to engine limitations, when actually some of it has to do with whether or not the developers want to add or change something, especially if they do not think it would help them financially.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this being developed by Obsidian?

Yes but it is already in the Battle.Net Launcher. And you can buy it over Battle.Net
