There needs to be a core, fundamental shift in story telling and I have a strong suspicion that John Hight wasn't the one holding that back.

Absolutely. Just simply improving HOW the story is told would fix so many issues. Just getting a box of text and ACCEPT is really not great, how is it still done this way? They at least added the talking head dialogues, but the way you pick up and turn in quests and the NPCs talking is still unchanged and I find it impossible to engage with.

@@NickMK back when I played I used to use the Immersion add-on, cuz like you said the box of text was just horrible to read and didn't do it for me. Just having it changed to where it felt like the npc was telling you about the quest made such a difference.

Wait... Is this a video about John Hight leaving, or you talking about your interview experience. I feel click baited. EDIT: The original video title was "John Hight is Leaving Blizzard - The future of WoW?"

Thumbs down on this video for me. This was not talking about John Hight leaving Blizzard and what it means for the company, but Preach reminiscing about interviews with him.

While I know Ion and Morgan and a few others are still there but with John leaving and him being in that higher level position it sure feels like losing more of that old guard so to speak.

Well... him leaving is a horrifically bad sign. Whether it's due to internal issues or because he got a better offer from somewhere else almost doesn't matter. Blizz desperately needs people like him.

but WoW's been struggling all this time. Who's to blame if the people in charge aren't? Preach might have nothing but good impressions of him, but maybe he was more skilled at giving good impressions than making good games.

If I had to guess, based on Mike's description of John's job, I'd say he got sick of being the "money man" and wanted to go back to hands-on game-making.

Unless that are looking to slot Metzen into the role i have ...worries.. for Blizzard, The new CEO is the former GM/Vice Prez of Call of Duty. Not saying she's going to be bad, but Call of Duty has been left with a less than stellar rep of annual releases of worse and worse quality and cash grabbing gouging practices

CEO is not involved in game development. It's unrelated. Holly is as high as you can go when it comes to people who influence actual games.
