Not at all, I was just specifically talking about how people felt the Blue response was not a good one. I was just trying to find out what would make a reply cover the bases for what they wanted.
Apparently the only suitable reply for “is this a bug?” is “we fired our Game Director”. Which is odd. because it has nothing to do about the actual issue.
I logged out and back in and now I can see it but the little blue take me to the Blue post button takes me about 4 posts past it though so I guess seeing it and over shooting it is better then thinking its just been deleted. These new forums seem to have the most wacked out bugs.
Now that you mention it like that, something similar was happening to me initially. Saw the BLIZZ icon, but it never skipped me to the Blue post. It just wasn’t sending me anywhere, though.
Its really funny when I was in school way back when this game came out. Real school not BS free public school that they force u into standardized tests. Anyway I started down the road of programing and Hated it with a passion. What did I do I made programs that broke stuff. Those programs didnt have bugs and worked 100% correctly and I got great grades and told please dont let us see that on any lab computers. How can someone starting school that hates what they are doing make stuff to break stuff bug free but people that supposedly have passion for games cant do anything right
When the ‘actual issue’ is but a symptom of the overall problem i.e., the constantly deteriorating relationship between players and Blizzard, then yes it does become part of the issue.
Since the release of WoD over 10 MILLION subscribers have bid adieu; mostly for in-game reasons. This is not an indication of trust, happiness or any other positive feelings. There is NOTHING positive in this thread, apart from simple gratitude and awe that a CM actually took the time to post here and try to reassure us!
Look how many posts are so skeptical of this! I assure you, I don’t have THAT many alts!
Too tired to do anything right now, really
On one hand I get what you are saying, and I am not debating that. Yes, there have been a ton of bugs that have made it live. And its awful. I have to deal with a talent randomly not working, that the only way to fix it is either respec, or relog.
On the other hand, I just don’t see how the “actual issue” (that being…there is a bug on the PTR) is a symptom of any problem.
There are always bugs on the PTR. Acknowledging there is a bug, and that they aim to fix it as soon as possible is exactly the response from a community manager we should hope for. That is my over all point.
Do bugs make it through that shouldn’t? Yes.
But lets also acknowledge a ton of bugs do get fixed. Regularly. I am not saying that excludes them from criticism. So please (not necessarily you, but anyone) please don’t take it that way.
Reading through most of the replies on this thread i’m really wondering why the people posting this kind of stuff even play this game still. They seem to hate it with a burning passion yet still stay and make thousands of posts on the forums.
Gonna need a source for that bold claim cotton.
Remember when Blizzard put in 7.2’s PTR patch notes that ilvl scaling was going to be tested, and they wanted our feedback on it to asee if it should go live or not?
Oh wait, no, that’s not what happened.
What happened was that people got on the PTR saw the scaling mobs, tfigured “PTR issue gonna PTR issue”, and tested what needed to be tested.
Then 7.2 went live, and people started reporting on the blatant bug of mobs scaling up whenever you got better gear.
And then Ion said, and I’ll quote,
So yea, it’s not “conspiracy theory”, it’s “we remember the last time you pulled this crap.”
So as per usual, people were using the PTR as a demo, didn’t bother to actually report something that could have been a bug, and were then shocked and appalled when the change went live?
lol
At the ready! Fi…r…e… out the torches, let’s come back next week… I’m sure we can get them next time!
Remember when they turned on mob scaling in Legion and deliberately said nothing about it until after the patch went live?
Fortunately that isn’t the case here. ![:slight_smile:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
Not 100% sure until I see an actual developer answer that this is a bug.
Way too many times you said things were not intended just to make it into live and tell us about it when we caught the lie.
The timeframe does line up (15 hours between Blue response and OP), and the negative reception isn’t just confined to GD. It’s everywhere WoW players post.
Now you could be right and the Blue response could be 100% clear-cut honest, but the timeline of events just adds up too well. Could be Hanlon’s Razor…but that’s been invoked so many times in the last twelve months, I’ve gone through my supply of them.
What time frame?
Are you saying they responded to something too quickly? too slowly?
An OP that would have been posted around 7-8pm on the west coast. You think the Blues and the devs don’t go home in the evening?
Plenty of time for plenty of data accumulate and, even with a cursory skimming, point to one thing: Bad idea. Undo, Undo.
Most people tested antorus during that time. Most people didn’t even realize the difference until It was actually brought forward to them and then it became the boogeyman at the beginning of this X-Pac
But this is different it was documented beforehand it was discussed before hand it was dispelled beforehand
This is the literal tagline for almost any and all changes in BFA…![:sleepy:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/sleepy.png?v=6" ":sleepy:")
