THIS. People need to understand what purpose a delay serves.
Is the system completely broken and unfixable? If yes, then delay and re-design and build a new system. I.E. - Azerite Traits -> Neck Essences.
Is the system unbalanced but in working order? If yes, then release and hotfix as needed. I.E. - Covenant A/Legendary C are overpowered and performing 28% above Covenant B/ Legendary A. Buff Covenant B to bring both covenants within a few % of each other in a hotfix.
SL is not in need of a delay. It is just in need of balancing and tweaking and thatâs perfectly normal for an MMO.
No, itâs you paying for a release of a game build. The dev decides it hasnât gone through enough QA, or there are still some bugs, but still releases the build. Note the key word. Release.
By making the game available to market, even if its marketed as Early Release, They are still releasing the game to the public.
So, release it flawed because of timetables and deadlines? This is why disasters happen. I wonder what Quality Control is in place before a product launches.
People who are true Blizzard fans know that SOON⢠was a way of life for Blizzard. Everything they did was delayed delayed delayed. But you also knew that if anything came out from Blizzard it was the worldâs greatest creation in video gaming technology.
I support a pushback of 2-4 months if it is needed. I want Azeroth to be great again, and Blizzard really needs to get backs to itsâ roots of quality instead of quantity.
Will some people get mad? Sure â but will it kill Blizzard? No.
The problems with BfA werenât bugs, it was systems. Another 6 months werenât going to fix BfA because the systems themselves were impossible to fix.
I have zero issues with the way beta is now, i rather enjoy 100% of it.
Exactly. Itâs a live service game, nothing ever works 100% correctly and balance turnings happen all the time.
The current expansion has long since run past itâs life expectancy. Letâs just get on with the next expansion and figure out fixes along the way, like they always have.
2nd row of talent mitigating âbad piecesâ on gear, normalized acquisition levels of abilities accross all ilvls (no more I have 4 rows on this normal piece, but only 2 on this Mythic piece), Titan residuum vendor.
No, Iâd say the systems ended up working âcorrectlyâ (the last remaining issue being every class had only like 2 traits that were worth using out of 10+). So itâs false to say itâs impossible to fix, because all those things were suggested IN BETA.
This is a problem with todays generations⌠the âI want it nowâ crowd and the âYou canât do that, Iâll sueâ crowd⌠Game Developers used to be able to delay their games if they realized they wouldnât meet the deadline, and gamers used to be perfectly understanding of them doing this. In fact, it used to be that gamers prefered a delay over a faulty product⌠but now âYou announced a date, you must stick to itâ has become the motto⌠and yet, if they release something that is faulty and full of bugs the community never lets it go and berrates them about it endlessly, claiming that âthey had plenty of time to fix these issuesâ and âwe told you this was a problem, but you did nothingâ⌠well, when the developers feel as if they wonât be able to delay if they need to, then of course they wonât adress issues that crop up immediately unless they are game breaking. Non-essential bug fixes are held off until the end of development, and if they canât delay launch then a good chunk of them donât get fixed until later patches.
Note: I donât personally want a delay⌠but Iâd rather see it delayed than see it released in a broken condition.
You have no say in how otherâs use their vacation, kind of rude to look down on someone for that. Launch week is the best week of any expansion and a lot of people like to experience that.
Plus, what the hell else are you going to use your vacation for this year.
