World of Warcraft's next major patch will let you drift in a car '4 to 5 times faster' than a normal ground mount, all while learning 'more about goblin culture than ever before'
Eh, it's about right for goblins though. Their racial mount is a motorcycle and they've built mechs, it'd honestly be weird if they couldn't make cars.
WoW jumped the shark 2-3 expansions ago but now that Kotick is gone, it's been coming back. The devs are actually allowed to work on things they and the players want.
I was a hater but I actually love the current expansion and am looking forward to this. They stole skyriding from Guild Wars and we've been asking them to keep going - a ground mount upgrade to make it worthwhile over flying sounds awesome to me.
Because of decisions that Blizzard under Kotick made, both in terms of products but also how they treated their customers, employees, and fans, I haven't given them a cent of my money nor playtime. Maybe someday I'll be convinced to come back to them. Bethesda's basically there as well for Fallout76 leading up to its release and after. Take2 and Gearbox as well.
I came back recently too and honestly it feels great. Having so much fun. They don't have the frustrating gimmicks that defined previous expansions, the new talent trees are really well made, the gear drops are fun and interesting.
It's a bit worrying for me to be getting pulled into wow again, I thought I was safe...
