And let’s be honest, it probably won’t get any better (for the launch at least) because you don’t fix some core mechanic like that 2 months before a release. All those saying ‘but Dude, do you know what a Beta is f4or?’ well I’m sorry but you guys probably have no idea how gaming dev works. A beta has all the core mechanics/features working as intended.
The Pet is not working like in Vanilla at all. And even stuff like Feign Death is not working properly.
Any thoughts?
I’m rerolling because I’ve been a Hunter on WoW off and on again since like late MoP.
Though I’ll still reserve me a hunter, maybe as an alt or something.
If you like the class, play the class. You can help them fix it and get it working right.
Its only been a month into the beta. You cant imagine how much work goes into fixing an AI. It must be scripts apon scripts.
Not true at all. I’ve seen stuff change and mechanics reverted weeks before launch due to issues and other things. When they have a fix, they will apply it. Take your tin foil off and breathe some fresh air.
If classic wow launches with these issues still present then I’ll say you were right. Until then, I’m still betting it’ll get fixed.
Edit: ugh typos and such
inb4 “but Azerite wasn’t scrapped”
Honestly the fact I don’t think I’ve seen a single client update for Beta, and the fact I’m petty sure Deadmines is still without water, makes me think Blizz is just not fixing the Beta and is just going to push fixes to the live client on Day 0.
You do know these issues have been found since Beta day1? And Blizzard is well aware of it?
They’ve been working on classic for 2 years.
Legion beta had a ton of graphical issues and missing texture issues right up to the last week before launch. They take all of these issue and consolidate them into one update instead of wasting time with a bunch of small updates. This also gives them more time to test these fixes in a sand box environment as well.
And? Just because you write the code doesnt mean the code will work. Thats why they have beta testers. TO TEST THE CODE!!! As someone who works in tue behind scenes of a website: I can write a script that will look like it will work. But it wont without testing.
Do you think they have re-written the code for Classic or what?
They integrated the old code within the current game engine.
I’m pretty sure Blizz has sand box test environments as well so they can test and apply fixes within its own closed off environment so it doesn’t affect anything but itself.
Do you think Blizzard did no testing in house and are relying on people who don’t know how to do software testing to do software testing ?
Lol what are you even saying?
They had to do a lot of back end stuff to make the old code work with the newer hardware and newer systems. Wow came out when 32bit was king and when multi core and multi threaded CPUs were becoming more mainstream. Nowadays everywhere we look there are 4, 6 and 8 core CPUs. My S10+ phone has a 8 core CPU. That was unheard of back then. The tech differences and updates to coding are huge when compared to 2004.
That there is a method and process to software testing and most players are not software testers. You play the game, you see something off and you write it up.
Are you doing boundary testing ?
i’m sure there will be enough hunters. And enough random pulls from dumb pet
Lol this goes without saying ![:stuck_out_tongue:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/stuck_out_tongue.png?v=6" ":stuck_out_tongue:")
I can tell you have no idea what you’re talking about
No they didn’t . They fed 1.12 data into legion/bfa server code and tweeked the code from there.
