FFXIV works cause the number of skills and their rotation is designed with controllers in mind. WoW I think would be an uphill battle without a skill revamp.

It would require reworking and removing a large number of abilities from the jobs. I can not see this happening unless they are modernizing the game, which it desperately needs. Blizzard is adding official controller support in Shadowlands. And at least in Warlords of Draenor when I last played the console port addon worked surprisingly well, so it's not impossible to pull off. That obviously doesn't mean they're going to release the game on consoles, but never say never... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last-_-Judgment Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I've been wishing for this to happen for a while, I just don't know how it would be possible to use abilities like you can on PC. Console users would definitely be at a disadvantage. However, it would be great to play it on console, I definitely have well over 3000 on my main character for WoW and I tried to collect achievements too. Definitely be cool to have a World of Warcraft platinum ?. I started WoW beginning of WOTLK which was ace. I actually enjoyed Cata too. Pandaria was pretty terrible imo. Legion was average. Draenor was decent but still pretty average. I took pretty heavy breaks between the last three xpacs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of afraid what the trophies would look like as it was kind of the thing to have thousands of achievements that you realistically can't 100% complete. That doesn't really translate to PSN trophies. At least they'd have to tone it down a bit and just get the 50 most important ones, but which ones would those be? And would this mean absolutely no trophies relating to the older expansions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would this mean absolutely no trophies relating to the older expansions? Well for sure it would have to be a grindy list. There is PLENTY of achievements they could use as trophies though (like with how they did ESO trophy list). Like you said do main ones such as Loremaster, Reputations, Professions, Arenas, Battlegrounds, Raid Bosses etc. It's pretty easy to come up with a list. The problem with Blizzard though is they have removed/changed achievements in the past which could cause the trophy list to become unobtainable. The thing is with trophies related to older expansions is that they will be very easy due to over-leveled characters. However, if Blizz did decide to make WoW viable for consoles, they could add in achievements that would collaborate older expansions such as beat all WOTLK bosses or whatever to give the player a push towards seeing older lore. But they don't need to focus too much on older xpacs because like I said, it won't be challenging in terms of trophies.

AJ_Radio Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I think World of Warcraft has pretty much run it's course. It was an awesome MMO back in the days of Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. Used to play the game during my early college years, a lot of restless nights doing raids and dungeons, with some PvP. Started going downhill with Cataclysm, then Blizzard basically simplified the skill tree system they had so it would be more streamlined and more simplistic for more people. Always pissed me off when Blizzard nerfed an ability or made something a bit OP (overpowered), so then you would have to assign your class to have slightly different skills just to have more DPS during a dungeon. I pretty much felt they were doing it just because. Blizzard would have to come up with a way to assign a lot of the commands onto a controller. The PC gives you far more customization, abilities to use mods freely and be able to design your own layout just how you want it. Consoles don't have those options. The most you're going to get is The Elder Scrolls Online. The community has changed and the last few times I tried playing WoW the playerbase was extremely toxic. So it's probably a given I will never return to this game. It was fun, but I basically moved on from it entirely. The game just isn't the same now. If I were to start playing today I would quit WoW within a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love burning crusade and lich king content though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't fascinating like the Blood Elves, weren't cold hearted like the Death Knights. Would of taken a Troll or an Orc, and I absolutely hated playing those races because of their frame. Having Pandas be on both the Alliance and Horde made me scratch my head, but it was whatever. After Mists the game just went straight downhill for me. Wasn't all that fun anymore. The community became more self centered and elitist. The older players felt they wielded total superiority over the younger, less experienced players. Getting a good raid or dungeon group together was a real pain in the ass. People didn't seem to care about guilds that much anymore. I'm not paying Blizzard's overpriced subscription fee for the game. Activision being a part of the company now is probably why WoW hasn't been all that great. It's too old of a game to try to attract a wide audience. I think most will agree that the original, Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King was the best time to play the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkshepherd Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 To an outsider looking in, (and occasionally reading the odd news story about it) to me WoW looks like this: It seems outdated, over simplified and over done. From what ive read and a few in this topic have said, the expansions have gone downhill and the userbase is declining (to be expected with age) and toxic. Everytime i read about it it just feels like Blizzard is milking it til its completely dry when they really could of started work on Warcraft 4 or WoW2. I mean i could well be wrong but thats the impression i get. Altho that said id love a Starcraft 1 or 2 on PS5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a subjective matter really. I mean look at how many people in this topic alone criticise some of the expansions etc. In my opinion i feel that the sheer amount of content (read: expansions and updates) surely increases the disparity between the elites and the newer players. Which again probably leads to increased toxicity of players. Still, it has a fanbase for a reason and im sure is still fun for A LOT of people. Im not knocking the game. I just feel it'd be wasted resources bringing it to consoles. Create something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly Soup Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 I liked Pandaria. *shrug* WoD was the only expansion so far where I was completely checked out after the first run through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironloss Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 WoW is getting official controller support from Blizzard in the new expansion launching at the end of this year. Maybe that's a sign that console support is coming somewhere down the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of using addons or tricks, it'll just be one of the standards going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StressEater Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I agree that World of Warcraft may have ran its course. But, if they did it right, it could be a great console game. I would love to see the older version of Warcraft again. Those strategy games were a lot of fun. Another I would really love to see would be Everquest. I can't remember the last time I had that much fun playing a game. The problem is that its an online game with friends. People these days are not really into socializing with people, especially those that they do not already know. At least not the younger crowd. They seem to busy trying to put you down with all their trash talking. Or maybe I have been playing to much Call of Duty lately. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
