I know you read these posts and concurrently push the information to the player base at a good level…but you have failed us all.
Your inability to recognize player feedback about over saturation of Death Knights and Paladins has already impacted servers. No healers, too many players trying to run raids that cannot. I understand the developers “New Toy” and to make it bright and shiny. But there lies a problem when half of a raid is purely melee dps. There lies a problem when a tank can out DPS majority of its group. There lies a problem when you fail to balance tanks so that all are viable. You and your “developers” are failures with no true ties to the game. If you did have ties, changes would have been made on the PTR/Beta long before launch.
Over-saturation is real, overly real at this point. You cannot put together a group without 40 DK’s/Paladin’s asking to join. Where is the diversity? Oh wait…you cant create any.
Your que times are a joke and the greatest representation of what a failed gaming company looks like. Free off server/realm transfers? What incentive does that offer me? I say goodbye to everyone i know and play with for the convenience of your inability to manager a player base? You disgust me and the majority of the population.
Three hour que times? Sure, Im all for it, but you need to refund money for it. I dont pay to play a game that I have to sit and wait for.
FIX YOUR GAME, BALANCE YOUR CLASSES, MAKE RAIDS FUN, UPDATE YOUR SERVERS.
As far as im concerned, and from what i have read on the forums, you are nothing short of a disappointment. Do better.
lol another Do better post… You must be new here. It was the same in 2007 dont get why you would expect anything different. Thanks for quitting tho one less in the que!
Plenty of Warlocks and Mages that are destroying content right now. Boomkins are off the chain as well. None of those are paladins or DKs. Ret does seem pretty bonkers on anything they can cleave, Enhance is also doing great in that aspect. I’d say the only classes that are getting shafted pre-patch are rogues and spriests who don’t have their AoE yet.
The ‘dark knight’ and ‘Holy warrior’ are popular character types, of course, they’re going to be saturated. Yes, some of it is FotM, this is classic. Do you not remember the disgusting amount of rogues and DPS warriors from Classic? What about Mages and Prot paladin farmers in TBC?
But you dont see an issue with other tanks being forced out for their lack of damage? Raids are already removing other tanks for DK’s soley because of damage output. Sure a Warrior is the King of Dungeons, but raids…No. It is very clear what is happening.
Forced out? By who? Crappy guild leaders? Or are you a PuG hero that is at the mercy of randoms? Prot paladin will be the king tank, it is what it is. The utility they bring is unmatched. DK tanks aren’t being brought for their damage, it’s their ridiculous threat generation because of the absurd mods on Icy Touch paired with yet another robust tank CD kit. Unless you’re bleeding edge, all the tanks will be 100% acceptable in content, no one is getting benched for their class choice in Wrath. If you find yourself on the bench it’s because you’re bad.
As more and more people figure out to plan ahead, remoting in to queue before they leave the office during rush hour, using various methods to prevent their accounts from being kicked offline etc, the queues will only get longer and longer on average after wrath finally launches. It’s kinda funny though. If it keeps getting worse, you’ll then start queueing before you leave the house for work, so it’ll be almost done when you get home. Maybe eventually you queue today at 7pm, with the plan to play tomorrow at 7pm, you and your friends synchronizing your watches and stuff like a fire squad on a mission.
Spoken like someone who plays meta classes and hasnt endured the wrath of ridicule in trying to raid in said classes.
Go play a prot warrior and try and clear end game content as a prot warrior in WOTLK, better yet, Try and be competitive about it. You wont make it, because their surviability is bad, their mitigations are bad. Warrior single target threat and snap threat far exceeds a DK currently and will throughout most of WOTLK, especially with Vigilance.
A Druid Bear has no shot in hell as they contend with Tank busting mechanics, best surivability is stacking absurd amounts of health.
Im no Min/Maxxer, but I play competitively. I shouldnt have to reroll because of horrid class imbalance. Take your “bad” comments and shove it. From what I see, you play a rogue, your talent ends when you come out of stealth.
