Modestas Stapulionis it's hard to not side with Activision on this. They spent decades in man-hours with content that never saw the light of day, it's a complete messy waste, which screams mismanagement on all levels. Same thing happened in SC:Nova, Titan, D4... It's endemic inside their HQ in Irvine, they don't have that many resources to burn through now anymore as they had at the time their sub numbers were over 12million. It's sad, really.
WoD was before all that, it was fundamentally where they saw the biggest drop in subs, they lost so much that they stopped being public with subs. They did waste alot and there was really no reason in my eyes to scrap the content they clearly put a lot of time and effort into, better the iron it out then to change gears to something else entirely, i feel like it was activision trying to exert some development control early on by effectively wasting time and effort by telling them to scrap certain ideas in order to "minimize resources" ignoring the amount already spent, which kind of screwed the dev team over as they now scrambled to start new projects and finish them in time for the expansion. Its clear for some of the ideas the design team decided, this would be the direction of development and they put forth the effort only for someone clearly above them telling them "no, i don't like that do this instead" which personally would only be something activision would pull since their end goal is not the overall success or making the game awesome but keep milking the fan base with as little effort as possible and throwing wrenches into blizzard's gears so they mess up letting them exert more control "because they are causing them to lose money" its pretty standard for big companies like activision to not care for the games just about the money made and something like WoW which already makes alot of money and would continue to do so they can't leave it be, instead its a question of "how can we make more?" and thats by taking complete control so they can monetize it as they see fit and swindle fans using the blizzard name, like adding BO 4 and destiny to the battlenet app was a clear ploy to expand their market by tapping into blizzard fans won't be too soon before blizzcon features activision games. I digressed abit but the content they cut would of vastly improve the expansion and it was clear with the progress made that they intended to use it just someone threw a wrench in the plans most likely someone not involved with the actual design team or development team since you don't work on projects to that degree without at least a green light from a lead its far beyond simple concept as its clearly was in the development stages, and for the most part Blizzard head would probably not see a reason to halt progress but instead it was when they were updating the activison heads on progress and development that they took the plans and started putting X's over certain projects "trimming the fat" so to speak telling them to make things simpler or nuke it entirely.
It's easy to blame Activision, but WoW has been a game that's had content cut since vanilla. There are devs at Blizzard that have worked on projects for many years that will never see the light of day.
It was a great raid, not that much annoying on farm actually, I quite enjoyed it. There were only two lame bosses in the whole raid. two out of 14, it's insane how great that raid and tier was, in 5.4.8 classes had pretty much the best design in PvE. gearing wasn't that bad as Legion's or BfA's, it was fun. Imean, yeah, it was a year but still, it was fun.
Idk what are you talking about, our group used to clear the whole place in a matter of 2 hours, it's not that long to me though. As a Fury warrior/warlock/ele I loved pretty much all the fights, for me it wasn't boring or long, more than that I'd love to see a raid like that once again, after SoO there's been only Nighthold any close to the greatness of SoO Imo.
@@Fr33mx Agreeing with you on this one. SoO (and HFC for that matter) were actually very well done raids. And yeah, a big reason I liked MoP so much was also because the classes were insanely fun to play (ele shaman and prot pally at least). Throne of Thunder was also the tits. I did SoO all the way till WoD released...
WoD could have easily been the best expansion if they actually did things right. And because they didn't, the game bled many subs that will never come back. Good job Activision.
@@bd12843 MoP was good Why do people always shit on it? Legion was good, BFA okay, WoD shit, MoP good, Cata fine, WotLK is amazing, TBC is godly, classic is amazing.
There were also rumors that Garona Halforcen would have made an appearance in the story of WOD since she has arguably the biggest story in that area. Of course, that was cut, and we were given her as a champion for our Garrison. A far cry from what it should have been.
Yes, but if you followed her backstory as closely as I have, you'd know she was a major character in the original Gul'Dan storyline, and her participation in the WOD storyline could have led to the return of Medivh, as well as her supposed son, Med'an. Too bad too, WoW could have gotten back to its story-based roots.
He kept saying "Due to time constraints" What does that even mean? What's the race? The more content and longer the expansion the better. The game doesnt need and Expac every 1.5 years
so many people had been complaining about how long Siege of Orgrimmar lasted. Everyone knew it was the last raid tier of Mists of Pandaria and were waiting for the next expansion, constantly asking Blizzard when it was coming out. While Activision-Blizzard management likely played a roll in the cutting of content to save time, this was likely more to do with when players expected to see the expansion/new content rather than penny pinching by Activision-Blizzard.
I am really sad to see rushed content in WoW. it never feels good and always comes up a bit short. if we keep following this trend then we might see BFA having the same treatment so the next expansion will be a good one
Blizzard: "Let's make an expansion all about fighting orcs from another universe! Also Blizzard: "Let's make the final boss tier some Burning Legion bullshit, because having two back-to-back orc raids is redundant in an expansion that's already about orcs!" Blizzard again: "Let's just cut out the fun half of the expansion and release a bare-bones version, and force players to waste their money by doing nothing before suddenly dropping Legion on them!"
That is so sad, honestly I really enjoyed WOD at the start, until now, I would still want to replay the WOD from the start, because the location, the iron horde, the world, spires of arakk, everything was so badass! That was some peak testosterone world and I loved it so much. And seeing how much was cut, that would have really been what I expected to be when announced. I understand how Blizzard wanted to show us what the warlords of dreanor, the characters were like, because they really were badass and the new iron horde was baddas square... How refreshing was it to see new villians... super fortified armies of orcs, not just.. demons and old gods as always, overly dramatic in god-level sphere.. that was so good.. and it was ruined. Sadly it was ruined due to not having enough time.... and as we know from recently it was probably that Blizzard in that time was focusing on keeping budget under control.. sad
I was so disappointed that the expansion with the most badass story had the worst gameplay. I still love WoD, but only the story and the quests. They had SO MANY potential bosses to kill, but they left out most of the characters. Sad.
I don't know why they cut the city because of time restraints. Barring a few unapplied textures they were done. They just had to place the NPCs and portals.
So having 2 iron horde raids in a row is bad but having 2 demon themed raids + 3 bosses in Nighthold in a row was okay? I'm not counting Trial of Valor here btw. I just wonder sometimes... How would WoD be if Blizzard was allowed to just finish the god damn thing? I mean, I liked the raids. That's pretty much it though.
WoD's entire development was borderline amateurish, they cut real half finished content to make more time for content that they only half finished and ended up cutting anyway, they either didn't plan anything out in advance or, more likely, the behind the scenes situation in Blizzard at WoD's time was extremely chaotic with changing devs, changing number of devs, funding problems, whatever else.
its tough to say if it woulda been one of the best but its undeniable that the expansion would have been way better, the fact that we missed an entire raid tier and the plot was changed MID EXPANSION rubs everyone the wrong way, and those are only 2 things
Wow I missed WoD and it sounds like they cut everything that was gonna be good and focused on all the shitty stuff and the shitty stuff was still half-assed cos of "time constraints". But then again imagine they put in all those BGs, and then didn't do Ashran and the BG's sucked so instead we're hearing about Ashran being cut... you'd probably think Ashran would've been good instead. Maybe this whole Xpac was just destined to be crap.
what they should have done was highmaul, black rock then shatterath, then hell fire with hellscream being final boss and on mythic guldan basically ccd him and then guldan bring archimonde threw on mythic difficulty
After Archimonde there were no new content, till legion was released thats 1 year of nothing!.......time constraints my ass........blizzard are slackers!
The Nerubian underworld in WOTLK was fucknig huge tho... it would have been the bigest zone ever Also vanilla had a shit ton of content cut(was planned to have 50 dungeons, northrand, outland, emerald dream, hyjal, karazhan....) but it doesnt really count
Time Constraints is just another way of saying “ we’re rushing to the next expansion for more money next quarter”. Yet had they put this content out for not only this, but all expansions and took their time to develop a more memorable and fun game, they’d be worth playing
I miss having my own Garrison, I never had to leave to farm anything, I could just Farm everything there herbs, ore, fishing all my dailies were centralized.
I think they need to do this next expansion after BFA, and make that the Final major expansion, and then go back and finish WoD as a paid patch! Introduce a feature where all zones and content scale to you.
Hey, look on the bright side. WoD had so much downtime (even though I was progressing on the upper level of M HFC & clearing normal and heroic every week) that I could farm out a ton of old content. That was official "break" expac. Now I'm doing the exact same thing with BfA (minus the raiding, because meh).
Siege of Orgrimmar lasted over a year, and they STILL ran out of time?! How does that happen? Did project titan really take up that many resources? To just fail? I'd really like to know the decision making influences of the Blizzard higher ups around this time.
From a lore perspective I was pissed to see both the Ogre Empire and Farahlon being scrapped, i really wonder if were only time the devs were short on or Activition being the cucks they are, cut it out since they pretty much funded the expansion at that point..
There was so much down time for them to finish probably everything they wanted to. 11 months to finish what they had already put so much time developing is piss poor management.
Why was all this stuff cut? What else were they working on? Wasn’t one of the biggest problems with WoD was lack of content? So why would they cut all this stuff, it’s not like they replaced it
Once classic comes out, I’m done with buying expansions. Give me patches anytime over a pricy expansion. I already pay a monthly membership. Why ring me dry even more with an expansion that feels rushed? Vanilla lasted for years before burning crusade was announced. It’s just more money grabbing. Acivition is killing wow.
not really, the worst part about WoD was that there's nothing to do outside the raids and arena (the same problem as WoTLK), it still lacked a lot, not just one raid.
I mean that's the benefit of Classic... we already know exactly how it progresses and what to expect, so it may not be like it was the first time we played it, but it will still be a far superior version of World of Warcraft when compared to what we have now
This shit is just sad to see... The expansion had so much potential and they just cut everything. like almost EVERYTHING from the fucking expansion out. I would rather see them delay the release than releasing it unfinished like they did.
So that explains all those huge unused areas in the expansion. And why Grommash completely got away with everything and never had to face consequences for all the shit he did.
I know that my opinion isn't popular, but I really loved wod. Correction, I loved the buildup and concept of wod. I was very disheartened at learning about the cut content. I was also upset that they never revealed more about the apexis race, or whether or not draenor is a titan as well. I felt that something was missing with tbe storyline, and assumed (at the time) that it was coming later, to explain the bronze dragon's scheme. Instead, a simple orc one-shot a dragon and that was the story. That felt like a write-off story arc. It really felt like the expansion could have been so much more, and like it was going to be more, which is why i loved it. Disappointing as it was at the end, legion was nothing but world quests until you unsubscribe, with no story worth retelling, and ap grinding. I never once felt during legion that it was going to get better until argus was added, and that was just 3 new provinces to grind world quests in, a very big letdown. And then bfa... They took the worst parts of legion, recycled them, and added absolutely nothing of interest. Bfa has left me telling old friends not to waste their money, whereas before i have always tried to get old ex players to come back to the game.
Now if they would just release a expansion with out cutting any content. Fuck what harm can it do, the game is slowly turning to shit anyways. It couldn't hurt it anymore.
I don't fucking understand these publishers. They get a huge subscribers decline, they receive negative reputation and YET STILL they keep on rushing games. What kind of fucked up business model is that? Rush the game to get instant income and ruin your reputation vs don't rush it and make more money in long term.
quest bugs for mandatory content, loooong time to wait talador and flying and garrison building, insane amount of followers and short missions. Left WoD and now 10x 120lvl + 15 100-110lvl from those 0 has ever visited talador and will stay like that. WoD was worst.
like what the fuck were they doing with that 13 months they had during SoO, also its not like they weren't working on it even before that. the fuck was this small indie company doing.
WOW I LIKE wOd BUT SEEING THIS MAKES ME NOT LIKE IT CAUSE ALL THE STUFF WAS GOOD THEY CUT OUT IM SO SAD :( IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER ... this is why u dont release till everything is done cause it was boring alot of times but i still liked it
WOD desperately needed a timeless isle type island. I mean wow,,, MOP had so much great content, and then you look at WOD and all the 'time constraints'.... i mean its stupid. I remember enjoying MOP and thinking fuck you WOD dont come out for another year. A lot of people felt that way, and knowing that Blizz themselves prolly wouldn't have minded that happening so WOD would've been complete pisses me off that much more. WOD is when I quit , until Classic.
Many of what could have been an amazing expansion or game in general ended up having to much content and wonderful ideas scrapped and changed because someone wanted something different. KH3 is proof of good changes and cut content for the fans. Destiny is proof of the terrible changes and cutting of content that almost destroyed it
Its sad... The cutted content would turn it into an actually good expansion... Except for mutlistrike this was just GARBAGE JUST LIKE THIS WHOLE EXPANSION WE GOT
All that was cut thanks to community was crying and said it’s the worst expansion ever made and blizzard lost a lot of sups and blizzard had to cut that shit and make a new expansion to save wow so don’t be surprised don’t forgot it’s all about you players . That’s a fact

I felt that something was missing with tbe storyline, and assumed (at the time) that it was coming later, to explain the bronze dragon's scheme. Instead, a simple orc one-shot a dragon and that was the story. That felt like a write-off story arc.
It really felt like the expansion could have been so much more, and like it was going to be more, which is why i loved it. Disappointing as it was at the end, legion was nothing but world quests until you unsubscribe, with no story worth retelling, and ap grinding. I never once felt during legion that it was going to get better until argus was added, and that was just 3 new provinces to grind world quests in, a very big letdown.
And then bfa... They took the worst parts of legion, recycled them, and added absolutely nothing of interest. Bfa has left me telling old friends not to waste their money, whereas before i have always tried to get old ex players to come back to the game.
Ive been enjoying BFA but then again i haven't really played semi seriously since wotlk
Typical Blizzard. Take out all the cool stuff and just leave the mediocre.
12:16 really and how did wotlk able to work?
Now if they would just release a expansion with out cutting any content. Fuck what harm can it do, the game is slowly turning to shit anyways. It couldn't hurt it anymore.
What happened to Haven Games?
The part of the thumbnail is at 8:55
I don't fucking understand these publishers. They get a huge subscribers decline, they receive negative reputation and YET STILL they keep on rushing games. What kind of fucked up business model is that? Rush the game to get instant income and ruin your reputation vs don't rush it and make more money in long term.
cut this cut that.. remember when blizzard was about "its done when its done"? good times, too bad its long gone
no amount of new content would make it better for me, the class design is what ruined the game for me.
It's a Shame of Draenor.
It's sad to see.
Two orc raids being redundant? The whole fucking expansion was orc themed. Blizz has no integrity left, if ever.
Fields of Farahlon...
Wait? Asmon does have Gorehowl?
quest bugs for mandatory content, loooong time to wait talador and flying and garrison building, insane amount of followers and short missions. Left WoD and now 10x 120lvl + 15 100-110lvl from those 0 has ever visited talador and will stay like that. WoD was worst.
like what the fuck were they doing with that 13 months they had during SoO, also its not like they weren't working on it even before that. the fuck was this small indie company doing.
WSnt hellfire our for about a year or maybe even over a year? But they didn’t have time?? Lmaooo
WOW I LIKE wOd BUT SEEING THIS MAKES ME NOT LIKE IT CAUSE ALL THE STUFF WAS GOOD THEY CUT OUT IM SO SAD :( IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH BETTER ... this is why u dont release till everything is done cause it was boring alot of times but i still liked it
No wonder WOD was chaos and sucked...
It's sad that could have been the best xpack. I had hope for it..oh well
WOD desperately needed a timeless isle type island. I mean wow,,, MOP had so much great content, and then you look at WOD and all the 'time constraints'.... i mean its stupid. I remember enjoying MOP and thinking fuck you WOD dont come out for another year. A lot of people felt that way, and knowing that Blizz themselves prolly wouldn't have minded that happening so WOD would've been complete pisses me off that much more. WOD is when I quit , until Classic.
no! fuck that! timelimit my ass, games should be crafted with passion and the time it takes. I hate these call of duty scheduals
Many of what could have been an amazing expansion or game in general ended up having to much content and wonderful ideas scrapped and changed because someone wanted something different. KH3 is proof of good changes and cut content for the fans. Destiny is proof of the terrible changes and cutting of content that almost destroyed it
This vid leaves me feeling uncontented.
BFA is bad, but warlords was unbearable.
tl:dr WoD could have been the best expansion, but somehow this small indie company ran out of time
WoD pruned my friends
There are still idiots who's thinking Activision is the only thing to blame lol
It's so sad what WoW has become
Yknow what I mean?
Yeah-maybe
WoD could have been good....
Please react to Hydra 7! :)
ghostcrawler said that WOD was his magnum opus OMEGALUL
It could've been, given the cut content.
Its sad... The cutted content would turn it into an actually good expansion... Except for mutlistrike this was just GARBAGE JUST LIKE THIS WHOLE EXPANSION WE GOT
All that was cut thanks to community was crying and said it’s the worst expansion ever made and blizzard lost a lot of sups and blizzard had to cut that shit and make a new expansion to save wow so don’t be surprised don’t forgot it’s all about you players . That’s a fact
