It’s more about the idea behind it. Why would anyone want to offer this to the 1% alone? And what if these are actual portals which only the “chosen ones” can use? The game rewards the top players already too much with the neglect in several parts of the game. People love to do the old raids.
Just PR-talk. I do remember hearing Ion Hazzikoastas talking at BlizzCon to an older woman, likely in her 50ies, who asked about more account-wide options and you know what he told her? “It’s about the journey the character makes” - which is rather offensive to say and deflects from the actual problem.
Same goes also for the “mass openness” because only RPers truly can appreciate this feature when they walk across the world. You can bring this openness up once or twice, after that it becomes a burden and takes away from the actual content to do. But same goes also for the lack of shortcuts in the older raids. And then also the lack of safety nets to acquire transmog/mounts. I believe people would be happier with the game if they aren’t treated as hamsters on a wheel but rather as people in a fitness studio.
It’s not about the reward but the audacity to put a QoL-feature behind FOMO mythic raiding. They could simply add a few portals in Oribos for future transmog hunters but no.
I disagree with you here. Let’s take Throne of Thunder as an example. It is a far away raid and is only accessible by Monks who can fast travel from their class to the old monk training temple and from there to the Townlong Steppes to save on time. Every other person starts this day in the Jade Forest and it takes at least 7-10 minutes, excluding the short cut available for people who did the Thunder Isle quests.
Of course, other raids are close by but this isn’t an option for every raid… and it takes some time to get there and clear them.
Just a simple jar “Here is a jar of ashes. These are the ashes of my sanity, my passion, and my drive. All, utterly destroyed by themselves. May all those who look upon these desolated lands of Hellfire remember this fallen peon. He shed blood for the Alliance, and sacrificed for the Horde only to be driven utterly mad by the wicked and soulless ones who devoured what he held most dear. As they feast from his toils, may they suffer his wrath. Maybe not in this world, but in every world hereafter. It is my declaration, my solemn oath, and my everlasting promise. I will avenge my suffering.”
Thanks Maizou for your effort, At this point it shouldn’t be only about this topic but the lack of response, discussion and communication from Devs, If anyone check CC forums, there’s not new post for days or even comments besides Steve Danuser lore thread on which I think the Narrative lead will just post that comment and don’t answer any question or start a conversation…Still waiting for the livechats…really dissapointed with CC mechanic and Dev response, if they were busy with patches and expansion this kind of feedback tool was a bad idea, it only shows the opposite.
It’s not possible for him. Either he gets eaten alive for letting his team deliver such a poor quality storyline or he has to answer for his desire to make Sylvanas this important.
Well, I mean about the comment of the 3 years without any massive event on Azeroth, there’s a lot of comments about that, the conversation could be focus about that single topic without mentioning the poor quality storyline from previous events or Sylvanas.
Blizzard does not care and this silence speaks louder then words ever could I have been reading some of the PR stunt forum posts and the ones that are important to many players have no blue posts.
They want us to go away and leave they want to kill a game before Microsoft takes over and cleans house it is called a scorched earth policy popular in WW2 when a certain man did it as his army retreated defeated.
Maybe this is a WOD 2.0 flying debacle and we players once again must stand united and say no more we have had enough.
We got communication but not on the Community council , Live chats or Forums, if you want to provide actual feedback go to Twitter:
I don’t get why Blizzard decided to create the community council to have more consolidated feedback but then decide to ask for it on Twitter to everyone…Also, we’ve a lot of feedback on these forums besides GD that’s not to serious with feedback but we got Lore, PvP , Achievements, Classes…etc forum sections.
Me too, the actual requirement could be easy for some players and it’s even easier that some LFR groups without coordination, however; the issue persist that we got an achievement with some text or typo during PTR, then Live and a lack of communication from Devs, even now the CC thread from Maizou is one of the biggest threads on that forum section and there’s not any reply.
If you check the twitter thread from Mike Ybarra, there’s a lot of players suggesting something for LFR/Casual content that was missing from S4 as a participation reward or even gear.
