Blizzard confirms 'large design and technology changes' for Titan

Blizzard: What you need to do is this:

Make a game where players who play are all unique. I know you might say its impossible. But it isn't really. Uniqueness comes from the lore behind the player -> The lore comes from the quests -> the quests come from the player who chooses them -

Think of bread crumbs across the whole map and when you combine these bread crumbs they form a totally unique character.

Think of people who live in villages/ towns where everyone knows everyone by name.

You need to create that kind of uniqueness in characters.

Never try and make an MMO and think like an FPS person. (Like you did when you introduced "dungeon finder" and shortcuts like those.

Back in the day (those wonderful days) people used to gather up near the entrance of Razor fen Kraul or Blackfathom deeps and talk have fun ganking others ....that there was the moment which is LOST in the game now. There is no user created fun anymore because you added dungeon finder. Fire the guy who gave you that stupid idea.

Its been 3 years now that I have not played wow.... and still i have high hopes that someday someone will rise to the challenge and rollback their SVN servers to pre 2006 and make a new server for players who like Vanilla wow. It was fun that time....

Can you do that Blizzard? Just a RollBack on the Last stable release of the SVN servers to 2007 build and make a server JUST for VANILLA wow? Can you even consider it ?

I would start playing if there was a Vanilla server... sigh... good ol days.... miss my friends who i used to chat with ... not anymore since there is no need to talk at all.. just click a button and start button mashing in a dungeon.. seems like the game designers changed ... someone from FPS background was hired who liked to hack and slash all the time...

We have League of Legends for the hack and slash type ... we don't need the same in an MMO...

Bring back WOW. Bring back the game which had no shortcuts ... no flying around ..

I feel its the same in real life ... we used to have fun playing with friends ... kids nowadays don't even know what playing with friends means ..they have too much technology around to keep them occupied and they never experience the REAL fun playing hide and seek and all that...

I played Wow because it was that kind of REAL fun, but later due to new technology(like Shortcuts to Dungeons and no need to chat or group up anymore) the Fun was gone...

Wish someone from blizzard actually reads this... and does something about it..

Remember ..there is Not ONE single game that exists today which is as good as Wow was (not anymore) .. Use that advantage .. bring back Vanilla Wow everyone of those players will be back.

In real life things change for good or bad but its hard to keep up sometimes ... WHY DOES IT HAVE TO CHANGE IN A GAME TOO!

Just Tweak stuff ... "DON'T FIX SOMETHING THAT IS NOT BROKEN!" that's the disease that wow has been ailing with for years now...

3 years .. i have not played any game that is better than wow yet... waiting.. waiting.. waiting..

So Titan meets the eberg? Oh this is a coded message, you have to put ic in the right places to uncover its true meaning.

LOLWUT?! Beyond 2016?? I like ya Blizzard, but #@$& that. I ain't even sure if we'll all live that long. I mean, seriously. Like ya didn't learn anything from Diablo III's YEARS of "extended polishing", at all.

you can expect this to come out in the year 2025

I will never touch anything made by Blizzard after that Diablo disaster.

>Sees how people reacted to MoP's changes

>Realizes people aren't going to buy into their shit again.

>Sends Titan back for an overhaul

I heard that it is partially inspired by Snow Crash.

"World of Warcraft, is the biggest subscription-based MMO on the market. It launched in 2004 and had 8.3 million subscribers at the end of March, down from a peak playerbase of 12 million in 2010." Lol, which MMO, F2P or subscription based, even *has* as many people playing it as WoW has had people dropping off of it? I'm not keen on another MMO or pseudo-MMO like Diablo 3 was, but I wonder if any new MMO, even one by Blizzard can reach the numbers that WoW has/have had.

Go Go Wildstar!

did we need TITAN GTX to play Titan ?

I hope its not really another MMO in the format we currently know. I need something fresh that can be played solo if I wish to. Still the best part of news is that people have been re-assigned and not fired, honestly this is the best part - always, if only EA could learn and retain talent... then maybe they could rise above mediocracy.

Ahh Classic Blizzard.

is this online FPS ?

Haha.. so again no info on this will be revealed at blizzcon.

Whens Destiny out again? Before 2016 right?

World of Warcraft Forever, definitely a possible Duke Nukem forever situation. Besides that point, I think Blizzard has realized the potential for "Titan" to be released on PS4 and XB1 instead of just PC like WoW. I love PC and will never stop praising the PC god. But an MMO by Blizzard on consoles would definitely kick ass.

Another MMO? Because this is what I wanted instead of some Starcraft SP goodness.

They want to create another WoW, another CoD. They need to or their future prospects are doomed. This is most definitely a great decision.

Does that mean blizz is using todays technologies so when their game launch it won't look like a 2001 game ?

They don't want to release something that looks/feels out of date...

Blizzard could be setting their own goals a little higher with this design change.

Remember that core gaming nerds are HARD to please.

Anytime you delay a game for 3 years you're changing a lot, if not starting from scratch. Look at the FF14: AAR transformation as an example and that took 2 years.

Wish if they could do the same to Diablo 3 :(

Pretty much Vaporware. When is the last time blizzard has made a unique IP? They arnt exactly known for making unique games. Sure they have a nice universe and storyline, but in terms of actual unique gameplay, it was all pretty much done before.

Hasn't this game been in development since 2007, with an expected release date of 2010-2013, and the title still isn't been announced? Now its look its going to be pushed to 2016. Haha game will be scrapped like Starcraft Ghost, and no reason to innovate while you can keep collecting sub fees from the remaining 8 million wow sheep.

Blizzard was one of the best devs out there back in the day, then they started releasing keep-the-game-alive money grab wow expansions, along with that obvious video game ebay store, aka Diablo 3, which should not have been considered a sequel to D2 by any means.

Might as well put that final nail in the coffin.

its probably auction house: the game, a farmer's story

yah waited for D3 for 4 years and all I got is a broken soul and 70$ less, it was like getting punched in the gut by the Hulk

That 70 developers have been put into WoW to pump out the next expansion faster in order to stop losing subscribers.
