Yeah, they can do that, WoW can’t. If people end up not liking something, the devs might fix it, or they might dig in their heels and say it’s working fine and we’re just playing wrong. Kind of like they’re doing right now with portals.
No, they can also do that, but not case by case. They create general rules that affect all players. For example at this level you get flying.
Babsitting is not the same for a tech point ,though you can have a kid sit playing wow all day as a babysitter it is not right in a development of human being.
unplayable portions for weeks or months afterwards
It is already unplayable, what is dead cannot die.
But it does cost investment,time and personal.
Im sitting here eating a greasy burger. Is that any business of yours? Affect YOUR life in any way?
No…but lots of people like to INSERT themselves where they reasonably should just keep their opinions out because nothing about the situation affects their existence.
If they do, we have to assume the are just the sorts who like to hear themselves talk but dont really have ANY relevant, objective input to offer.
You have no dog in this race…for the 30th time now…you dont have ANY right to tell those of us who DO use those portals how WE should be playing OUR game.
Blizzard frankly shouldnt even be paying attention to a single word you say about the matter since it doesnt affect you by your own admission.
Then why did you even bring up DMs? You can’t bring up an analogy and then say it’s irrelevant when people turn it around against you.
I brought them up because the similarities are the point that I’m trying to make, both do the job of choosing inconveniences. The fact that they differ in other ways is irrelevante. Do you deny the fact?
Exactly.
Time is a concept a few of them here seem to be oblivious to.
And that cost is negligibly low, while the impact is colossal.
You lost me here
That is something life can only teach you.
There are no ‘inconveniences’ when Im 60 levels higher than the world trash Im farming around.
Those MOP portals went mostly to LoWER LEVEL AREAS where we ALREADY had FLIGHT.
There are no inconveniences in our way when we landed on the other side. MoST of them went to level 60-70 areas while we would be 80-90 at the least.
NOTHING there would be a challenge and so if THAT is your argument then again, its null and void and pointless.
Problems I would see are; yes they did scaling. Now did they just do scaling players up/down to mobs, or mobs up/down to players, or some weird combination of both. I think the last due to some issues with pvp now 110-120, I do know they had serious issues with it and it wasn’t something simple. Maybe it is or is not simple to change. Is it a solution in search of a problem? Maybe.
Additionally, because of all your many posts I have lost track and thought you also talked about redesign of old areas, I was referring to this kind of revamp like Cata.
Turning all flight paths into pseudo portals, who knows, that may be far more difficult than you or I can ever know. Just trying to imagine the code is giving me a headache, and I love to read code.
You also spent two days posting ideas, so yea good luck convincing devs without --“perhaps you should have posted these in their own threads”-- as I said yesterday.
None of the suggestions were a quick, simple solution to pro-portal deletion/anti portal deletion and player choice of the present thread. It is all lost to the ethernets now. Or maybe some dev will read it and like it, who knows.
shrug

They did both, but scaling mobs up seem to be the most easy alternative, although I would prefer the latter.

Really? why would this be difficult?
You select your destination (already in the game)
A skip button shows up on your bar.
When you press it the screen fades to black and you tp to the destination.
That is probably the most basic coding I can think of.
You know ,that would be a great idea for her to do.

So we should get rid of existing portals that would take ZERO work and all so we can be ‘inconvenienced’…and replace them and more ‘portals’ that will take a lot more work that we will NEVER get Blizzard to agree to doing.

That’s fair
None of the suggestions were a quick, simple solution to pro-portal deletion/anti portal deletion
So… the addition of portals to northern eastern kingdoms and the restoration of the shrine portal in pandaria are not quick and simple?
player choice of the present thread
What does player choice have to do with it?
And that’s nowhere near the same as a real DM. It’s like the difference between a car and a train in terms of maneuverability.
It’s currently playable, just not very interesting. That’s better than actually being unplayable.
But they differ wildly in choosing inconveniences. A DM can turn on a dime while WoW devs can take months to change some things.
or…and it is a novel idea, I know…just leave the stinking game AS IS
Oh yeah,when you do tell them ,remember you wouldn’t get credit for it.
Nah, that’s too complicated. Better to remove these portals and come up with a dozen alternatives to alleviate problems caused by those removals.
