Activison, the company known for rushing releases to meet deadlines seems to once again be rushing a release to meet a deadline judging by the PTR, despite the fact that pretty much every software project in America is experiencing delays due to COVID and the WFH situation… and companies are pushing deadlines in response (except Blizzard).
I’m sorry to say but I think SL might end up being another WoD with a lot of good ideas and a LOT of stuff missing/incomplete.
I don’t think so, at all. A lot of people are saying it’s gonna be great…
That’s also what they said about WoD and BfA tbh. The cut and rushed parts won’t be made evident until the game goes live after a short beta.
I recall them saying BfA was looking eh.
Players: Ugh they need to hurry up. I’m so sick of BfA
Blizz: Here’s a pre patch ptr
Players: OH MY GOD THEY’RE RUSHING
-_-
What about Legion in between? Testing cycle wasn’t any different and some specs still had big issues with their artifacts going into the final weeks of testing, people still felt like that was being rushed due to the reaction to 6.2 but hey, that worked out pretty okay, they got there.
Or do we exclude Legion because it was good and doesn’t fit our intent to be pessimistic fearing another WoD (which on launch was extremely well polished overall) and BFA (an actual cluster where the core system of the expansion wasn’t tested until days before launch)?
When is the prepatch launching?
LOL no they did not. Your memory has failed you.
It’s not even the final build of the pre patch on the PTR.
You know, even if it got delayed I don’t feel it could “save” Shadowlands. Shadowlands is a bet, it’s a change, it’s already a lot more efforts/communication than BFA did.
If they wait too long to get it out, it wouldn’t be then too worth to backtrack on some design like they said they’re ready to.
I just figured blizz is letting us bash some undead ( no offense ) to give us something to chew on for now
A months’ worth of that though? GARBAGE.
Prepatch is out on Ptr.
I recommend stocking supplies and prepare for the worst.
not gameplay wise but more so dying from mobs or worse kinda thing
I think they’re rushing it out because 8.3 has been a massive failure as far as keeping players interested and subscribed, and they’re seeing a large number of players unsubscribing.
The fact that horrific visions have been way less popular than projected reflects in the fact that torghast originally appeared to be horrific visions 2.0, but they’ve backed off on some of what was going to be popular with top players.
I am convinced there is a set group of people in this forum that are against anything fun.
I mean it’s possible folks are addicted to feeling outrage. You get certain chemicals going in your brain when that happens
The reality is that what is “fun” for some people is not fun for others. I’m not sure why you think you should be permitted to have fun at the expense of others. But it is what it is. I see no reason to continue playing since you are apparently being encouraged to scream “I deserve more! Gimme-gimme!”
But if you remove my fun, you are now having fun at the expense of mine. Don’t be a hypocrite now
Sure. You scream you want more free stuff and an infinite amount of content, and you want to make sure casuals get nothing what ever to do.
Good luck paying 4x as much when your demands have chased away the paying customers who don’t appreciate having nothing to do so you can get more, more, MORE!
And…
It’s not about removing anything from you. You just want a whole lot more.
a couple weeks is going to make everyone quit the game forever.
Hyperbolic much? Man you funny. You made me laugh so much I almost puked.
Also anyone who knows me
Would laugh at you for this claim.
