Blizzard responsiblity to Game Breaking bugs/issues

You know, This is getting out of hand now.

When there is a game breaking bug/mechanics that literally screws people out of a currency/lockout and we go and look it up, Blizzards same response is “We will next restore it”

If you are going to wait MONTHS to fix a bug/issue. Then you have an obligation to refund/restore/fix it for the players actually getting that bug/issue.

The fact there are numerous videos/posts about people DC’ing in Visions because they get feared into a unpathable area where they get stuck until they lose sanity/die OR even worse get punted into a wall which DCs you every time you log in, until you lose sanity. and yet you refuse to do anything about it? Why? Exactly WHAT do you gain, by telling players YOUR MISTAKES as game development team, that its “their fault, and you need to pay more attention” ??

I normally wouldnt rant and rave about this, But this has been going on since day 1 of 8.3, and none of it has been fixed. How is this still an issue??

This happened to me today. Got feared into a hut in Orgrimmar and stuck between some pots etc and BAM dead. Well I didn’t disconnect but got stuck.

They think the problem is our standards are too high.

Someone needs to read the ToA before they start pouting what Blizz’s responsibility is…

they gave you their answer, if you dont like it, leave. they will next restore it.

Why would this take months to fix?

Blizzard, as with many companies right now, are operating with fewer staff due to the current virus. You should be posting this in Support/CS or be on the phone with them, not posting in GD, where we’ll just read about you ranting.

Where did those avenues get you when you opened tickets there?

Fixing one bug could cause other bugs, which they then have to fix. Fixing bugs isn’t easy, at all. Especially with 20 year old spaghetti code.

And you wonder why people are unsubbing in BIG NUMBERS. This game is embarrassing to Blizzard to be honest.

I wonder if they’ll ever reveal the sub numbers again.

They only did once to brag about it since subs have slowed down they haven’t for years now.

They have no obligations to you in terms of bugs or bug fixes.

I’m sure they are working on fixes for these problems. Stop being unreasonable and give them time. They are most likely working with reduced staff on hand because of the current situation. Posting a rage fit post on the GD forum is like Karen screaming at some poor cashier at Walmart because of some silly problem they can’t fix.

It could take forever to fix if they don’t work on it.

That’s how programming works.

That’s what I meant. Literally forever if they aren’t intending to fix it.

I don’t think getting dced in a vision is gamebreaking, you can just go again. There’s plenty of coalescent you can earn that failing one vision shouldn’t matter much atleast at this point. Moreover, if you die because you got pushed out of bound I don’t think it’s their problem. There’s plently of ways to not have that happen. As for getting dc, I think they need to fix that but that’s been a bug since Legion atleast now since they have invented dh atleast. It doesn’t look that simple.

It really doesn’t take much to just earn another essence. What’s the rush about needing everything right away in this game.

And yes, I have been disconnected in one and it took a day to get it back - it isn’t world ending. And no they should not be wasting time restoring this but if everyone was 100% honest in this game they probably would.

Except for the fact that none of us have any actual sub numbers. If you have a source for this wild claim then go ahead and provide it, otherwise stop making stuff up.

No they didn’t. The moment they stopped releasing them was the very last time they were ever released. Sub numbers were never released as a means to brag anyway. lol
