I have been playing off and on for years and I don’t ever recall the game being as across the board buggy as it has been since the TWW pre-patch. It’s especially noticeable in all sorts of legacy content that has absolutely nothing to do with what has been added in the expansion. Druid shapeshifting forms not having sound, unobtainable secret artifact skins, titles not being granted upon meeting requirements, quests not being available etc etc etc. I always felt like 99.99% of stuff worked when I logged in, now I seem to run into something almost daily just by casually leveling classes.
It’s not as bad now as it was earlier in TWW, but mostly in agreeance with you.
Was doing S.C.R.A.P. piles earlier, and they regularly seem to glitch out now.
They know. Management has just done the calculus and decided they don’t care. Don’t dare complain because they’ll bust out ”don’t you want us working on new content?” rebuttal.
Im going back to finish out stuff in past expansions and finding so many broken things.
Favorite so far is tol barad dailies not changing… ever. Unless you are online in the zone at reset time. Then if you leave the zone for 15 minutes, they revert back to the previous dailies.
Also you cant change out monuments in your garrison anymore. Like, its broken completely.
In b4 people are telling you that it’s always been like this and that you’re probably playing another game, because they never encounter bugs.
Not major but i experience is that sometimes when i press A for example my character is stuck and is moving in that direction even if I press W,S or D.
Anyone know a fix for that?
Just encountered this while going for an Achievement in Heart of Fear Raid, where I was doing Candle in the Wind Achievement, and a LOT of the time ky character woukd start running the opposite of my inputs…was beyond obnoxious
Fun fact. DH players switch genders when interacting with objects that trigger their meta demon form. This bug has been in the game for many years now.
That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
Just doing the Children’s Week stuff for the new pets three times was an awful experience, i had to have wowhead comments (God bless those people btw) open the whole time to get advice on navigating my way through various issues
When I think about how big the game world is, how long it’s been around and the fact that there can’t be any devs still around that were around during the early years … it’s honestly amazing anything works at all.
Probably fall out from the normal merger / acquisition layoffs and splitting the team to pump out TWW / Midmight / Last Titan over a short period of time.
What I’m doing is sticking to the main story material. I do the quests in the new zone if they are working, ignore them if they are not, then go back to leveling alts, doing my 8 delves and upgrading gear.
the bugs are truly on another level, I’m running into them constantly. Most are minor but yeah, it’s sloppy and a waste of our time, and it’s frustrating to know there’s a good chance they’ll never get to the minor ones.
You mean all female DH turn into male DH for the demon form? It is based off of the original Illidan demon form and then they upgraded it just a little bit.
I read “Insane amount of HUGS”
Yeah, the focus on Nerubians has been pretty severe this expansion.
Delves are buggy and jank af too. None of the mechanics in them feel good and you get perma stuck in combat half the time.
It just speaks to how pruned down the dev team has gotten. Can feel sorry for them if you want to. Frankly after 20 years, it’s self-inflicted wounds by the company. Would rather see them stick up for themselves and stage a walk-out if working conditions don’t improve. It’s not like Activison-Blizzard didn’t have the money to expand the team. Now that Microsoft has them there is no excuse for the state of things.
So many amazing things in this game over so many years and some people can’t do anything but complain.
