That’s a red flag that everyone is leaving and/or not queuing epics anymore. As many on here have said… 5 - 10 year ago, you’d play epics all day and never recognize anyone’s name on your team or the names of anyone you’re facing. Now it seems like its down to 200 - 300 people max taking epic cues and seeing the same names over and over and over again on both sides. The WPVP and reg BGS PVP is now on life support and near death.
Its like if the premades were exploding 10 years ago, it would’ve been beyond epic… But now with so many unsubbing, instead of epic its the final death roll for the casual PVP part of the game.
Its got to be that the code is too old to fix all these issues… and/or it wouldn’t be cost effective so they’re just not fixing it. Now they’ve made ‘woke pirates from outer space’ so we’ll see how that goes.
Disney has taken over Star Wars. Probably something like a lot of function calls dispersed throughout the program so troubleshooting would be extremely painful. As an undergrad I worked on some old FORTRAN programs and it was stacks of printouts, rulers to hold your place, tabs to mark calls, fun stuff. I have a friend that works for the railroads and they still have COBOL programs.
Premades have been around for a good while. I used to run into Hydra all the time back in the mid-2010s. I’m not sure what other premades were around back then, though.
I’m in an Ashran right now, just 45 seconds before the game begins. Over 15 players have already left upon realizing it’s Auggy’s premade, saying something like oh crap it’s Auggy premade, im out, Blizzard has to do something. I tried to convince people Auggy’s premade is beatable but it didn’t work. ok lets blame quitters
Auggy and Bearyfunnyy don’t deserve to die IRL, but they are certainly unpopular due to their cheating behaviors. Epic bg is dead. Maybe taking my dogs for a walk now is better than playing video game lol.
this particular premade is the worst: i’d rather face BSG who will get games over with as quickly and as efficiently as possible. RR on the other hand loves to farm pugs while they milk every HK to the last so it’s no surprise no one wants to deal with them any more.
That is is what happened with RBGs when all that was left was those that sniped each other.
Like I said premades and communities will now cannibalize each other. Cross faction would just make that process last a big longer but currently this is a quicker solution.
It’s a bad time. Game starts like any normal premade, but if you are racing to capture a point say in Wintergrasp, they will all pop toys and other things to lag the system and make things more unenjoyable than the rest of the groups you go against.
This is a prime example of what I was talking about…How did this thread title scream to you, “my feedback is certainly needed there when I’m the cause for OP’s topic?”
As long as you understand your gameplay is the very toxicity being discussed in every one of these threads you show up in, which I know you know.
