Corrupting a Cleansed Item with a Preserved Contaminant

[Marla-westfall]

Because your argument appeared to shift.

I originally responded to this.

@Altash-illidan

I’d rather the content we have for the next 6 months be good.

This shouldn’t be a negotiation.
They’re a multi-billion dollar company, WoW is a multi-million dollar game.
We deserve and should expect decent systems for both BFA and Shadowlands

Which indicated to me you were wanting more content basically for BfA because of the 6 month time frame you were using.

Then you switched to this.

@Altash-illidan

I didn’t ask for more content.
I said that the content they give us should be done correctly.

Which was a different argument in my mind so I addressed that.

I might have misunderstood you the first time though.

@Altash-illidan

If SL is a disaster are you going to defend it because oh no they had to deal with working from home?

Sure if I think that is the reason and I know they are behind right now because of coronavirus. I am not all that convinced you are a reliable source of information for this.

@Altash-illidan

Blizzard is a fortunate company because their entire development team can work from home.

How do you take that as me asking for even more content?
I am clearly saying that what we have should be good.

I don’t see how you could mistake that for anything other than me complaining about the new system.

[Marla-westfall]

Because you were responding to this remark.

@Clárk-moon-guard

Resources spent to BfA is resources that could been on Shadowlands

[Monori-bleeding-hollow]

Their costs have likely dropped. Server space is much cheaper now and doesn’t require a single dedicated blade per server hence why they sell off their old ones for charity. They also have fewer subs so less server stress and they reuse a ton of assets.

[Marla-westfall]

So you think people are making the same wages as they were 10 plus years ago? If blizzard’s costs haven’t gone up much it is because they are cutting corners on so so much in the game now.

[Shyeer-area-52]

Neat, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’d somehow missed that in the other thread.

[Keyaèshaen-dalaran]

I’m still a little confused. Am I able to cleanse and recorrupt corrupted items that were obtained prior to the vendor releasing?

[Melisity-lightbringer (Melisity)]

Can I cleanse an item I received months ago and replace its corruption with a better one? Or can I only cleanse and recorrupt an item that was received since the hotfix?

[Keyaèshaen-dalaran]

This is the same question I have. I know once the final hotfix is implemented we can do it with anything, but I want to be sure so I can do it today.

[Melisity-lightbringer (Melisity)]

After a little research it seems like you can cleanse an item now that you received a while ago and it’ll work. Havent tried it yet though

[Dreadstrike-aggramar]

Well, ya. Adjusted for inflation, people are making the same wage they were making 40 years ago. Not just 10 years ago.

1. You need to give much more than a 17 hour lead time for a major increase to essence cost. You need to make this right by those that had currency that is now worth 20% less. Communicate this asap.

They gave us next to no warning to prevent people from taking steps to cut their losses.

@Zoxpox-proudmoore

2. You have really screwed a ton of people by not allowing us to corrupt the gear that we cleansed because they were horrible corruption.

They decided in advance not to deal with this before implementation of the system, knowing it would be problematic.

@Zoxpox-proudmoore

3. You need to add actual healing corruptions to the game. How anyone can think avoidance is a stat for healers or dps or even most tanks, shows the person that invented corruption does not play the actual game. Why that is even on the loot table for healing is shameful.

The chance that they will add healing corruptions at this point in the expansion is low. Avoidance is something nobody wants.

@Zoxpox-proudmoore

4. Please fix the grind for the cloak on alts.

They won’t do this because they want alts to spend maximum time grinding their cloaks. That’s why they removed the ability to purchase essences by any character without a cloak. They’re holding essences for ransom.

@Zoxpox-proudmoore

5. Please answer if we can cleanse an item we have in our bag and add the correct corruption to it.

They did answer this. And the answer is “it depends”.

@Zoxpox-proudmoore

6. Why can’t I add corruption to a new item I got in my bag? It is new this week and I did not remove corruption, it never had it. Why will this not work and will you refund my currency because this is broken?

How did you get that item? There are many restrictions built into the system.

[Monori-bleeding-hollow]

Adjusted for inflation salaries have dropped significantly right now min wage should be around 16 dollars to have kept up with inflation.

[Marla-westfall]

@Dreadstrike-aggramar

Adjusted for inflation

That’s the key phrase in there though.

[Liana-maelstrom]

@Axtin-stormreaver

You CAN cleanse a corrupted piece and re-corrupt it right now, even if the piece of gear was obtained before today. I just thought it was weird how blizzard used the word “new”.

Thank you so much. I think the original post was just a bit sloppily worded; perhaps Blizzard hadn’t thought of that particular case.

Using Preserved Contaminants on Older Cleansed Items

We’re rolling out a hotfix over the next few hours that will make it so that you can apply Preserved Contaminants to corruptible items that were cleansed before maintenance this week. We’ll see you in the Chamber of Heart!

This just in.

[Keyaèshaen-dalaran]

I just did it on items we were questioning and it worked.

[Nevøk-frostmourne]

@Marla-westfall

I told you the point - arguing they should give you more content because they have millions of dollars to spent isn’t a good argument. It is their money to spend not yours.

If I deal with any company over a ten year period and if how much I pay them hasn’t gone up while their costs have gone up, I am not going to expect to get the same kind of service/product I used to get from them. I deal with reality and reality is the world doesn’t work that way in most cases.

Your line of reasoning is flawed. WoW tokens are down to 107k gold on my server, that’s how many are being sold by the store. I often spend more in a month on tokens than I would have in a previous YEAR. Many of us long term players are grown ups and money isn’t an issue. We buy tokens, for gold, so we have all consummables, purchaseable gear we want, etc.

I could sell 5 mask carries or +15 key carries if I wanted instead. But i’d prefer to click 5 buttons, pay some money, and play the game rather than turn WoW into some sort of online job to get the gold I need to play it how I want.

I’d bet anything that they’re earning much more per player than they ever have, by orders of magnitude. Even taking inflation and any cost increases into account.

They are CREAMING it. And i’d be willing to pay much more for the sub per month if they could actually get their act together and fix stuff, and test it thoroughly before releasing. WoW used to be known for its polish, Ion has lead it into being a live beta.

@Sanariar-wyrmrest-accord

ts far too soon to be getting worked up

you must be new

something is off we insta cry about it

its called feedback and thats a huge part of what these forums are

do you think the fix would have come in so quickly if not for the massive outcry?

me thinks not!

[Marla-westfall]

My line of reasoning was faulted because I didn’t understand they were complaining about the content we got being done wrong, not wanting more content.

Content being done wrong doesn’t have much to do with money, however, it may have something to do with pandemic and the effects.
