A scary game mode, eh? Perhaps that is “actually listening to player feedback” - blizzard seems to find that concept very scary!

Okay an Among Us in WoW could actually be so much fun lmao

Comment by Raynuru

Among Us
WoW Style
or for those really old school ones among us:
StarCraft 1 Parasite MP Mod

vampire survivors if the pre-plunderstorm rumors were true

This pleases me.

Ooo that's also a good idea! Could also turn it into a horror survival of some sort, but I find that idea far less likely than yours or Among Us.

Dead by daylight game mode, I call it.

Dead by Daylight 4v1 unbalanced PvP mode

Comment by Parsee

Let me play as Stiches in an asymmetrical 1v5 mode

Dead by Daylight WoW Edition would be so hype!

Idk who the "Killers" and "Survivors" would be but, in my eyes I think this would be fun! Especially if it's in Duskwood the vibe is already there from the "fog" vibes of DBD.

This probably has something to do with all the chess themed cosmetics they recently added to the game files. Chess themed murder mystery/among us/extraction mode?
Darkshire is pretty close to Karazhan and it's infamous chessboard....

They do know we pay for an MMORPG right? It would be one thing if they were releasing carefully done product with few bugs, well balanced, no big issues with classes or systems and in a timely manner with plenty of player asks. But they aren't and their excuse is so often that they have to prioritize things, well why is dev time being wasted on this kind of thing?

I can only assume things are not going well if they're trying all these unrelated things. A successful MMORPG wouldn't need to create alternate game modes because by itself it already has tons of ways of playing.

Blizzard, you are not gamepass. I do not expect my WoW sub to come with a bunch of other unrelated games. I expect my money to be used to make WoW as great as it can be. I don't as a casual player expect content outside of the normal game mode, I expect instead things I can do in-game and tuning the world for me in an appropriate way.

I don't know if this is getting hopes too high, but a murder mystery, or even like others are saying, Among Us in WoW would be insane

Lets be honest, some players have dumb feedback.

"It will be a scary halloween themed M+!"

Comment by Marnolaic

Seems like a Town of Salem kind of mode, imo

Comment by karajaeden
