World of Warcraft's Game Director Tom Chilton has spoken about the lack of aerial combat in WoW, but says it's something Blizzard would like to add to the game.
The PvP zone in Northrend, Wintergrasp, which was added in Wrath of the Lich King, originally had planes in the beta that players could take command of to bomb the opposition below. There were also anti-aircraft vehicles in the zone, however, both features were removed before the expansion went live.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
Major shame, it was excellent on the beta. I can see how the system might've been abused though, and as Chilton said, it wasn't the most realistic experience.
Would be great if they made it more like a flight sim.
Shame, but unsurprising. It's something they'd want to get right, and it's not much like anything they've done before.
Yeah, I'd like to see some aerial combat so long as the balancing wasn't an issue.
add fly zone 2 wintergarsp
I think they first need to resolve the LAG issues in wintergrasp before they even think about putting planes in.
But otherwise would be pretty cool.
