Oh no I’m sorry you may not be aware. Blizzard doesn’t release any actual information/metrics for this game anymore. So you would by default have to use a 3rd party for your metrics. Which is flat across the board going to be skewed by default.
What side of the argument to you believe I’m taking?
We have small portions of the whole pie. The issue is that those that bring those fragment of data claim its the whole pie.
Because none exist that is available to us.
Is the rest of this forum gonna be just between a few players and not a discussion like other forums have turned into?
When?
When have we done this?
Survival is a mess.
Bfa survival is fluid and pretty strong but the talents are over the place and not enough of them are good baseline. Butchery should be baseline and there needs to be a bigger focus on melee.
The legion survival Hunter was clunkier and more annoying but it had a much better direction. I forgave them for survival in legion because I understood what they were trying to do they just didn’t do it well.
Survival in bfa should of worked the same way but better. Cobras and such that work like totems and melee for aoe damage and dots. The current survival is basically Serpent sting and wild bomb, that’s it
I agree with you here. Not saying Legion SV was perfect, but I agree it was more melee centric than what we have now. Not that I dislike what we have now, but I agree it should have more melee abilities. And please blizz, FIX OUR AOE! jebus.
I’ll say it then. Blizzard’s numbers reflect badly on Blizzard. You know how I know? Because they stopped reporting their numbers when they stopped reflecting well on them.
“Come join 11 million players yada yada yada!”
Couldn’t go anywhere on the internet without that being shoved in your face back in WoW’s heyday. But once their numbers began dropping they stopped releasing subscriber counts for some reason. If Blizzard’s internal numbers reflected well on them, then they would release them. The only possible way they wouldn’t would be if they didn’t want to make it too obvious that when they didn’t release numbers they were doing poorly. Therefore I think it is safe to assume that, on average, Blizzard’s internal numbers reflect poorly on them. If, on average, they reflected well, then Blizzard would release most of it. But they don’t.
If Blizzard refuses to release their internal data, then that is the same as them giving us a pass to use our own data to draw conclusions. If they don’t want us doing that, then they can release their own dang data. If the player collected data was wrong, and was reflecting worse on Blizzard than their internal data suggested, then they should release their data to show us all that we are wrong. But they don’t, so they leave me to conclude that we are either right or are very close to right on the mark.
Except the first person in this thread to bring it up was the anti-crusader himself:
Heck, Bepples was the very first reply in this thread and their comment was entirely focused on melee SV and the state it is in. They didn’t mention bringing back ranged SV at all.
Doesn’t have to be. Just leap on into the discussion. If you don’t want to that’s fine. But don’t complain about the people who are discussing just because you don’t want to be involved in their discussion.
It can also be inferred that sub numbers are down since they’re attaching mounts to 6 month subs
