It’d be nice if blizzard atleast told us the reason of the maintnence for the 3rd day in a row. Fixing the spell book? fixing the fact that they broke pandaria remix? Only takes one guy with a keyboard to communicate with the playerbase, but no theyre too big for that

There’s probably multiple things being worked on with each reset, and you aren’t owed technical specifications for what they’re doing. Making an announcement every time they make a correction to a database would be an enormous waste of time and entirely pointless.
The servers will be back, probably in less than an hour. Go take a walk.

If you haven’t personally experienced any of the horrible brokenness, then you should count yourself very very lucky!
Buddy its a 15 dollar a month game, 60 dollars minimum every 2 years, 100 if you want to play on the actual release date, i give these guys 400 dollars bianually, this game is a bigger financial scam than the NRA, so yeah, they do owe me technical specs of why i can’t play their game in the mornings

If you have ever worked on a large software project, especially with 20 year old software, you already know what kinds of problems they are having.
It’s not as easy as it looks.

I’m very upset that they don’t include the auto-target version of shadow crash in their list of known priest issues. That means they actually want it to function like it does! 
Working on old software is dumb can be managed , I know what it takes to overcome these issues. It’s not as hard as you make it sound cause experience and skill go a long way.
There’s only likely thousands of bugs atm if not hundreds.
They owe you nothing

They have been posting what gets fixed. Just not before the actual short maintenence. Within acouple hours the Dev team will send a list of fixes to a Blue, they’ll post it. They did it yesterday, finding it is a bit difficult since they forgot to pin it, but yeah.
Obviously all things are relative but here they have extra challenges. Not only do they have to develop the software but they have to install it and run it for customers world wide. Most software houses just develop the software and sell it.
They have to deal with legal issues in many different countries.
Add to that, they are working for new people. They have had layoffs because there are always layoffs after a merger / takeover.
And we are talking about three days. Remember Windows Millennium, the last of the DOS front ends? No one was happy with that. Or Windows 4.7, the first release of Windows NT that taught us to use the words “blue screen”? Or Windows Vista which never really worked right?
Each of those cases were more than three days.
I guess it would be nice if they told us what was on the docket, but it’s also mostly useless information and silly for you demand that information. Like even if they did tell you the servers were down so they could fix the spell book, what good does that information do you in the moment?
Nah, OP is onto something. After they take servers down they should provide an itemized list that accounts for everything they’ll be working on before they’re allowed to work on them. Who wants a 1 hour maintenance when we could get 2 or 3 hour maintenance?
