How are the numbers on WoW these days? I remember when they had that consistent 10 million a month.

I just wonder how long these expansions keep people interested. I know they scrapped Project Titan so I wonder what they will do next when it comes to WoW.

It's looking like Project Titan is turning into Overwatch which David just posted about. I've read things on Reddit/NeoGaf from people that saw Titan in it's early stages and say it looks exactly what Overwatch is today. Titan was supposed to be an MMOFPS so they could have just stripped the MMO part out of it and made it an Arena Shooter.

Yeah I knew about Overwatch and Titan (BTW Overwatch looks fun. I Love TF2 type games). I meant as what the next successor to WoW will be for Blizzard. Can they hit MMO gold again?

[Plutonic Panda]

I really enjoyed JC2, especially the multiplayer mod they had. Get some friends together and just dick around with the crazy mechanics that game has.

I never downloaded the multi-player mod. Was it good? I know they had a physics upgrade mod which I played with and honestly I expected more. I was hoping for a realism mod like what came out for GTA4.

In an interview at Blizzcon (I'll try and find it) the lead game designer mentioned that he doesn't see an end to WoW in the near future and as long as people are still playing they don't plan on stopping.

It was hilariously stupid some of the stuff you could do with friends in that mod. You could spawn any vehicle you wanted and just wreak havoc on other players. Most people stayed around the airport though, they also had boat races and car races which were pretty fun. I don't think a realism mod would work well with a game like JC2.

Great interview thanks! Can I also say that I have always wanted to go to BlizzCon though I don't play too many Blizzard games anymore besides HotS?

I play all of them still except HoTS, lol. How is it compared to LoL/DoTA?

A little off topic, but on Black Friday The Xbox One is 329.99 at target and comes with AC Black Flag and the new Unity game plus a 50 dollar target gift card, I might have to snag that deal.

By the way is gamestop opening at 6pm on Thanksgiving ?

Gamestop is not opening on Thursday, but will be open early Friday (Out of respect for their employess) which is awesome IMO.

I really need to start playing HotS. Right now all my time is in Hearthstone, WOW, and Starcraft. I never thought I would like card games, but Hearthstone has really made me enjoy them now.

As far as WOW's future, they doubled the developer staff last year which caused MoP to just drag out as training and getting everyone up to speed took over. With WoD it seems to be a throw back to the old days. Everyone knows another Burning Legion expansion is coming, but it is unknown how far away. I would guess it will be here after WoD but it won't be Sargeras yet. I would imagine he will be the absolutely final boss and will wait until we've already gone to Argus to try to take him on. Azshara came back for a small bit on Cata, so I would imagine she'll be in play soon with maybe a South Seas expansion or patch.

20 minutes to go until Warlords releases on WOW...I think people are ready. Keep in mind, that WOW limits how many players are viewable at a time. There are probably a good 500-600 people at the Dark Portal on my server ready to go through.

Until subs drop enough to warrant an eyebrow raise we will just keep seeing expansions for WoW and no new game. Debating if I should re-sub and get the game.....

I have a PS4 but that Xbox One deal is almost too good to pass up. I really need to stop buying consoles and games. I do not have enough time for all this!

I think Xbox will do great this holiday season. Though I wonder how many people already have their 8th gen console.

I actually regretted getting the xbox one until now (Halo:MCC). I only used it once since I got it last year and only played AC: Black Flag on it. I have used PS4 for everything else. XB1 seemed to be more entertainment based as PS4 was more gamer based. Graphics better on PS4 too IMO

I'm about to just buy a WiiU for Super Smash Bros. Does anyone have a WiiU? Any other value outta this thing besides the exclusives?

Yeah exactly. They are down to just over 7 million right now but it seems to have leveled off at this point. From my perspective for the first day of questing and such, I am enjoying Draenor. The opening set of quests are done pretty well getting everyone introduced with the warlords and the new features. The garrison idea seems to be a good balance between player housing and companion system found in SWTOR. Now to get back to leveling. lol

I wouldn't say it's ****ty hardware. It's currently the only console that is putting out consistent 1080p/60FPS games right now. I have a WiiU and love it, every single first party game Ninty comes out with is worth buying the console for whether it's Pikmin, Mario, Mario Kart, Smash, or even second party games like Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101.

I will admit I am a die hard PC fan boy, in my opinion you don't need anything other than a PC and Nintendo's console that is out at that time.

Ef this game so hard!! Closest I've been to being able to play.... haha

No Offense good sir but that Que is nothing. I have friends on different servers and so far they are getting 1300 to 5600. This is pretty standard whenever an expansion comes out and should start to decrease in the coming weeks unless the game has some staying power.

Oh no I had a Queue yesterday in the 5000's, I actually didn't play at all yesterday, so went to bed early decided to get up really early this morning and this was taken at 4:30 am... I did get a good 2 hours of gametime before the servers went down so it's not too bad.

Yeah. Last not got DC'd and couldn't get back in for 3 hours with the queue on Whisperwind. Got in right after maintenance today, so lucked out. Right now queue is around 2000 and 2-3 hours for guildies trying to get in.

Another mx round tomorrow from 5AM to 1PM, so plan sleep schedules accordingly. LOL

Four bars into 96 so far...almost there.

[David]

Haha, this is pretty terrible, but I was already planning on just playing til the servers go down and sleeping during the maintenance.

[elitespy]

I got home from work today at 1:45, logged in 4000 in queue... I'm still at 1000 right now.... =[

My hand written WeakAuras setup has disappeared into thin air. I think I'm in shock.

[elitespy]

Well, the weekend is now over, for the people that were playing WoW, how far did you manage to get?

Here is where I stand...
