Making these sort of games are not designed to grasp long term players of WoW. There is not a way to make a mobile game that appeals to the old guard of WoW. But what it can do is expose new players to the world and lore and bring in new players to WoW. That is my guess is the secondary goal of this (after making money of course). As a player of WoW for close to half of my life and player of the occasional mobile game, I plan to give it a shot. The best part is that there is no cost to me if I don't like it. Everyone just needs to take a deep breath for a moment. Everyone isn't always the target audience of everything. I hope regardless of if I like it, that it is successful in both of those goals.
hard pass
If you look at ATVIs financials... mobile gaming is now 50% of their profits source. PC gaming and console are below it.
Man, people suck these days. This game looks and sounds very cool for a new game with new concepts. Don’t hate it until you try it AND don’t hate it because it isn’t something you wouldn’t play. Brand new title from Blizzard as they are exploring a new territory with a tower defense game and people can’t help but to bash it. GG NO RE you guys are toxic.Devs, if you read this, you did a great job with this game and I haven’t even picked it up yet - and I plan to even though I do not usually participate in mobile games. <3
Everything wrong with modern Warcraft, crammed into a small mobile package.
Who cares, look at games likes Fire Emblem they have a mobile f2p version as well. I won't play this, only if there is some crossover with WoW.
Not my kinda game, but it looks pretty cool!
basically
I have to be honest with you guys, but I think some of your "hatred for the sake of hatred" is disgusting.This actually looks like a nice mobile game. something I can play that won't force me to pay or bombard me with ads, something with a single player element so I won't HAVE to participate in pvp. I can see myself playing this a lot when I'm on the move and not in front of my PC.But some of you guys are so selfish! Why do you hate Blizzard so much for making something extra that is different than what they always do?Immortal didn't replace Diablo 4, arclight rumble won't replace WoW, it's just another fun thing for people that want it. The audacity to think that if you personally don't like this Blizzard shouldn't make it for the rest of us that do astounds me.Not that there's anything wrong with not liking the game, even if you find the game horrible, it's OK, it's not to your liking? I won't argue with that, I respect that, just move on.
I just want you all to remember that every trash talking comment here was said about hearthstone as well. And look how good that is doing. =P
