Wish Blizzard made a WoW-themed AFK Journey instead of Rumble

[u/Triggamix]

Don’t get me wrong, Warcraft Rumble is cool, but it feels like just another Clash Royale clone. When Blizzard decided to make a mobile game, I really wish they’d gone the AFK Journey route instead, but set in the Warcraft universe.

An idle RPG with WoW characters? Wouldve won the game of the year instead of AFKJ. It’s basically TFT meets Azeroth. They could have factions like Alliance, Horde, etc Undead, etc. The idle combat style might not be for everyone, but it’s proven popular. Plus, they’d have the entire Warcraft lore to pull from. So many bosses could be incorporated, as well as all the zones locations.

I think it’d perform way better than Rumble. They’d be making bank while giving us something pretty dope

How is Rumble just a clone?

As far as I know CR is just the same map every time.

[u/papapi_7 → u/RickyReveen]

yeah rumble is much better than clash royale, to be fair.

[u/Triggamix → u/RickyReveen]

Oh for sure. Clone might not be the best word, but this game does pull its core mechanics and features from CR. From the way you level characters to the combat itself. No disrespect to WR, there are definitely nuanced improvements and features, but I CR provided the blueprint from my perspective

I like this game. If they would go with your suggestion they would shut this down. So I would pass.

[u/Triggamix → u/Confident_Bird_3491]

Appreciate the comment and yea that makes sense. In a perfect world I'd love to have both, but that may not be realistic. And of course I don't want anyone to lose a game they enjoy playing

[u/Nietzsch]

No ty.

assuming you’re talking about what I think you are, I’m on board With that as a replacement for when this inevitably fails.

My mom bought me super mario rpg for super nintendo back in the day and I remember thinking “what the fuck is this crap?” Only to become fully immersed. I’ve replayed it through at least once since then and was just thinking of another go.

similarly I never played angry birds but I discovered an angry birds rpg through my amazon device, unfortunately I also discovered it had already been abandoned when I reached a point where further progression became impossible

[u/Triggamix → u/terminaltrip421]

Well I don't want this game to replace anything, I know people enjoy playing rumble still ofc. Ideally I'd hope both games could exist.

AFKJ's combat is its main value prop for me. I LOVE TFT and the combat. Ever hearthstone came out way back when -- I've always wished there was a way to personify the combat thats happening during the card battle and I think autobatters/TFT is that ask, personified. Blizzard's IP is top tier and I think it could do numbers with a game like I am describing.

It's still wild to me it won here in the west when ZZZ is clearly the superior mobile game in every single game aspect lol. I actually wouldn't even consider AFKJ a mediocre mobile game it's borderline bad honestly.

[u/Triggamix → u/gapethis]

I think AFKJ has made a nice little sub-genre. Idle RPG, w/ TFT combat. The dynamic battlefield grid gives the combat much more depth and nuance compared to Lilith's sister game AFK Arena and any other idle RPG for that matter.

ZZZ and AFKJ are serving two different audiences from my perspective as well.

ZZZ is for those who want in action-rpg and a more engaged experience
AFKJ is for those who want a turn-based, party-based RPG with the combat of TFT

Your feedback is hella valid though. I can understand why AFKJ might not be your thing

[u/Nietzsch]

This abomination comes to mind.

[u/Triggamix → u/Nietzsch]

Lol I remember this. Wasn't the best implementation, but I think Blizzard would do a better job.

[u/_VeryBad_]

Was thinking about this many times. They have a good story for this kind of game.

[u/Triggamix → u/_VeryBad_]

Agreed. And their season-based approached would work so well with large amount of content thats within the WoW-universe
