Super smooth rollout for max new player retention

If there is anything that makes people want to come back to a new game, it’s being repeatedly queued and kicked out of the game. Solid start Blizz!

I think after all those years, no one believes Blizzard is capable of learning from their mistakes and have a good launch.

As an ex wow player I can tell you…You’ve seen nothing yet. So far this is fine. If anything it’s going better than expected.

Funny how retail wow has had smooth launches and patch rollouts for the past decade. At this point, they’re one of few major developers alongside giants like DICE that still manage to snub a serious release. It’s pretty pathetic at this point.

I’m no Blizzard fan boy, furthest thing from it, but it is basically humanly impossible to kickoff something this big and this complex without any snags. To expect that is to be completely unreasonable or to have zero understanding of what’s involved.

Absolutely shocked that 100k+ (potentially?) people trying to queue into a game at the same time causes issues

I play bethesda games, did the game delete itself on first launch forcing you to redownload it again? No? Good launch then!

Me too. You’d think Blizz would’ve planned for this. Predictably they didn’t though.
