As someone who has been playing this game since 2004, you couldn’t be more wrong. So many features are in this game now as a direct result of player feedback. And many changes have been made to BFA because of player feedback too.
They’re just the things that you don’t think are important/haven’t noticed/are things that aren’t what you want, so you don’t consider them ‘valid’ and you ignore them.
If you dont wanna fill out the survey Il gladly do it I got plenty of ideas.
“You aren’t having fun the way you should be having fun. You should be having fun the Blizzard way.”
That is not what I said or implied, so if you’re going to reply to my post/quote me? Post something that makes sense.
Why do you think I’m triggered? I’m not the one who can’t handle the existence of a survey.
Or are you just jumping to the word “triggered” because you think it wins arguments or something?
I have also played since that time and have noticed a pattern of ignoring massive feedback.
Changes that have been made tend to be on the dev’s list, not on players’, regardless of how many thousands of players offer feedback.
I’m pointing out that this was the exact point in time where everyone started collectively saying, “Bye Falicia…”
Show me where I stated that I can’t handle the existence of a survey?"
I merely noted that any responses to the survey will probably be ignored.
The PR department needs to look like it gives a crap. This is how.
Yeah, that’s you not handling it. Again.
If you could handle it, you wouldn’t have felt so inspired to share your jaded opinion that you want to convince us is fact.
Have you read the forums lately? “Bfa is trash” doesn’t tell them anything.
I don’t care what your opinion is. I have voiced mine and you are free to disagree.
Notably I disagree with you without making a personal attack.
You say that as if you can read my mind. You cannot. Blizzard knows ilev scaling is antithetical to the genre but it sure is easy to develop for a game when they have ‘dials’ to simply ratchet up or down, player abilities. Much like the terrible ‘weighting of secondary stats’ as you level up. They have to do it in order to make ilev scaling work at all.
Did you ever read the 1000s of pages on the beta forums detailing specific problems, offering solutions?
These too were ignored. In fact, still are. Now what makes you think players will respond any differently to the survey than they did in-game or on the forums?
They won’t. The same problems that drove players away by the carload still exist and will not be fixed anytime soon.
Blizzard’s track record on this is solid.
Well neither of us have made any personal attacks, so we’re even there.
But if you don’t care what my opinion is, why do you keep replying to me?
Here is my feedback the game is poop. This feels much like when WAR, SWTOR, and Wildstar was starting their death throes…(I know SWTOR is still kicking but it’s really a dead MMORPG on life support).
WOW’s not dead but it surely has had a massive stroke.
Except they didn’t. The only ‘mass unsub’ in WoW history was during Warlords of Draenor when they decided they were going to experiment with removing flying entirely. And even those mass unsubs didn’t ‘trigger’ Blizzard and force them to revert course because, and this is true, Blizzard won’t make changes for people that quit the game. There’s no incentive for them to do that.
They will however listen to the players that are still playing and give them what they want, if what they want is something that is either inconsequential to their vision for the game, or is in line with the direction they want the game to go. For example, the Elixir of Tongues, an item literally added last week for roleplayers who asked what Blizzard was going to do after they broke a popular addon that they were using by accident.
I could honestly create a list of changes that have been made to this game in BfA alone as a result of player feedback, none of which has been implemented to stop players ‘quitting’ the game.
I could ask you the same thing. Oh and yes, you did attack me personally:
" I’m not the one who can’t handle the existence of a survey. "
“Yeah, that’s you not handling it. Again.
If you could handle it, you wouldn’t have felt so inspired to share your jaded opinion that you want to convince us is fact.”
All attacks on my ability to deal with the existence of the survey when nothing I said at all in any way, shape or form, suggested that. I only stated that whatever the survey results are they will be ignored.
Fight me.
Except it isn’t, at all. Also ilvl scaling only ensures that enemies don’t die in one hit. It doesn’t make them hit you harder, it doesn’t invalidate the progression your character has made. It just ensures that you’re still able to get some entertainment out of combat, rather than nothing but boredom because you kill everything in one hit.
Scaling done properly works without depriving the player of any sense of progression.
WoW scaling is not done properly – not even close. And ilevel scaling only compounds the problem.
Another issue is the lack of new abilities or talents while leveling, which also contributes to the feeling of getting weaker, not stronger.
What I’ve seen since BC it’s 100% attention to the players who play Blizzcon who are competitive players. NOT EVERYONE plays for competition or being ON TOP all the time (note this toons Lvl) do I have 120’s, yes. But this my fun toon. I like to sit after a long day at work (10-12hrs) and just quest. Scaling made that a grind. I can’t casually pick up an epic gear piece in the dungeon and come out being stronger because IT ALL SCALED! Along with dozens of other things that was the “you have to be kidding me” moment to make it all around ridiculously tough, for ungeared toons.
I HATE THE GRINDS!
My wife and I she started 3 yrs ago playing, two xpacs a computer upgrade two video card upgrades and grind four months on Azerite weapon…
It got nerfed.
She quit!
Back to reality tv…
I HATE REALITY TV!
Thanks BliZZ
