You know we are talking about a quest reward? The duck costumes? They could change it into a drop later, things change.
How much of (new thing, concept, method added to the game) was there before it was added to the game?
They could decide to develop this “Druids of the Quack” cult further in other events. Maybe we will see Daetan Switplume again. “Noblegarden was merely a setback!”
The Nobelgarden quest chain? Yeah. What other holiday events had something where you get drops for it later, just curious.
Could decide
It’s just funny some call wowhead for ‘sensationalism’ but they’re doing the same thing, just guessing. Which is more likely to be true, since in the first place Blues lie a lot more than wowhead does.
Excuse me? I have been here long enough to know that things change, and that new ideas are constantly implemented. I don’t know what will happen, and neither do you young lady.
Your best bet is to not let them get a rise out of you.
This is why I don’t engage. It never ends well.
Doesn’t seem like it.
Correct you don’t know what will happen, so don’t try to correct me, or wowhead. Because you don’t know, the blue that commented about it, also doesn’t know.
i started leveling this one in 2008.
what’s the rush?
playing the game?
I know. Honestly, though, they could have stuck with the yellow color. The MANY different shades of orange they use, from a light orange to almost red, makes the logo look dirty from afar. There’s a certain expectation already when we see the word of a color, and when the word is colored with a derivative, it looks wrong and we don’t like it as people.
I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to logos. I’ve made a few for clients in the past (something I wish I could do for a living), and it always irked me when they refused to listen about color, shape, complexity, etc. This would have been one of those things I’d have really pushed for, personally. It’s like having company named “Black” but not having the font, background, or stroke have anything but pink and white in the logo. It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me.
The problem is Blizzard doesn’t know when to stop trying to rip people off.
Now it’s duck colours, eventually it’s ducking skills behind a paywall or some super idiot CEO’s idea to lop off a significant portion of our time to farm engagement metrics to wave infront of his moron shareholders.
If you let them do anything, they’ll steal all your breastmilk and crawl between your legs like a perverted greedy dog. So don’t let them do those things?
Being a WoW player is like having a second government, but it’s the worst kind, and it’s some kinda parasitic money worm that breeds misery.
I think they were just trying to put in an easy reward that people could get every year without making something new every year or burying the player in insane currency grinds that normies wouldn’t burn through in a single year.
I understand the intention (if that is indeed the case) but there’s no way they couldn’t have foreseen this community response.
They need to figure out a better way of putting stuff in the client they can hide from you people. So they can make X years worth of holiday rewards and not have to worry about holidays for a few years and can focus more on other things.
Y’all better off just not knowing.
there’s more to the game than “get to max level and ???”
there’s a whole subset of players who are on trial/veteran accounts, who are incapable of leveling.
I don’t think it’s “interns” who make these decisions.
It’s not ripping people off. This is what they still consider the right way to design the game, and they will continue to do it this way, while making vague promises that will not be kept.
It’s actually even a cognitive heirarchy. Our brains more quickly and more strongly attend to written words than physical colors. I did a couple semesters testing the Stroop Effect for some research. The tests annoyed the participants, but they completed them pretty well. About 80% accuracy, but having to slow down and choose correctly was decidedly a pestering task 
And I hear ya about people not listening to design advice. I’m super glad I’m not a tattoo artist. The nightmare stories I’ve heard about them recommending clients not choose a poorly thought out tattoo are fairly common. Followed by coverup tatts also being just as regular.
I’m hopeful too. From what I’m reading and seeing as a member of the general public, I’ve got mixed reservations about what will happen. The best I can say is, I think the MS acquisition is gonna be an interesting case study in the gaming industry. We’re all living and watching it unfold in real time. Mergers and acquisitions can be a real painful thing, no matter how dedicated the people are or how deep the pockets of the parent buyout company.
Some actually blame Boeings current failings on the McDonnel Douglas buyout. It was that particular merger that started Boeings trend towards knit picking at corner cutting on their finances rather than beef up quality assurance. The company moved to sell off/lay off significant industry manufacturing components and contract work that was typically done onsite/in house to 3rd party vendors.
Granted, that merger happened in 1997, and the fallout took nearly 30 years for the full extent of the shockwaves to hit. With the gaming world, it may go faster because content development & dispersal moves quicker. We’ll see what we see. May the odds be ever in our favor.
Yep. Not something you want in a logo. However, it IS something you want in traffic patterns. Slowing the flow of traffic with visual queues like lines of trees, narrow neighborhood streets, curves, etc., are a great way to actually keep people from speeding in residential areas. Unfortunately, everyone builds boulevards and “stroads” (©NotJustBikes/Strong Towns) and makes areas in front of shopping centers dangerous, and cut-through speedways in neighborhoods.
If it wasn’t a meaningful choice then this thread wouldn’t have been created and this many people wouldn’t be upset. Turns out it was a multi-year meaningful choice.
It’s a video game. If anyone, as a player who doesn’t make a living off of it, has any life altering choice here then they need to seek help.
That doesn’t have anything to do with what was discussing
sure it does.
they’re incapable of leveling.
Still not sure what they have to do with the conversation
i didn’t think it was that hard to follow along.
