Siren Isle is terrible content

And they didn’t escape to Antartcica, they simply used the portal at the south pole to go to Angartha.

you.

You.

you’re good, you. na, na You’re good.

You passed. be prepared to receive a message.

Incorrect. Which is why I asked for a defined answer. “I googled it and it told me” isn’t the correct answer because I did and I also got “WoW is now just an mmo” so that’s not the victory you thought it was.

[Aliama-moon-guard]

“I don’t understand you, so you’re trolling!”

Geez, life must be pretty hard for you, huh?

Your googling skills are questionable

Incorrect.

My god… it’s like you refuse to read.

Explain to me WHY you asked what you can Google and WHY you agreed with this WHEN I SAID THE EXACT SAME THING ON THIS SUBJECT:

@Hirai-moon-guard

Obviously they want you to pay the sub. It’s how they afford the massive costs of running the servers, the infrastructure, and paying the bandwidth fees and electricity costs.

So they would obviously design the game to keep you playing.

[Jhaella-maladath]

It’s a filler patch, not a main content patch. Story will unlock on a weekly basis.

@Quivermethis-rexxar

I’m at a complete loss with this one. They literally agreed with what I said. And now they’re on some weird tangent with NO POINT to it.

What is even going on?

[Sephrinx-sargeras]

I guess they should just work on main patches instead of these luke warm watered down bland mini patches.

[Kaikoa-wyrmrest-accord]

It’s a filler patch, what else do you expect?

[Aliama-moon-guard]

I’ll cut to the chase instead of splitting hairs and leading you down a trail. Here.

@Aliama-moon-guard

There’s a lot of people feeling the content drought right now. Many people are looking for a reason to log in. Then there’s been a small amount of hype around these isles as if there is something to do to tide those subscribed over until the next major patch. Then there’s this that offers an hour and a half worth of content to do each week until the next patch.

An hour and a half, or to put this into monthly perspectives, 6 hours a month of something new to do. That’s literally it. This is a pay to play mmorpg, not a free to play one. People are expecting a little more. To look at it from another angle, with the cost of subs we can effectively buy a AAA game every 4 months for the same price (and not even counting the cost of the initial expansion drop). Then there’s AA games that are just as good that we can get at the 1-3 month mark with sub cost taken into account, and even free to play games that people have been playing for years now that cost nothing.

So yes, it’s a pretty valid thing to go ‘this is it?’ when we’ve been given next to nothing and we’re paying for it.

[Sephrinx-sargeras]

I didn’t know there was such thing as a “filler patch” until just now.

What’s the point? Just make a real patch with real content.

[Jhaella-maladath]

Either they add something and people complain it’s not enough, or they add nothing and people complain they’re not adding anything. They’re choosing to add a bit of content rather than none.

[Aliama-moon-guard]

So people defend them when the release something like this and brow beat everyone who says it’s lazy.

[Aliama-moon-guard]

Nah, it’s a bit more. If they don’t release anything, people complain and it’s widely considered beyond valid. If they release the most lazy dribble of crap an army of drones defend them in the forums and attack people who call it out as the lazy dribble it is.

[Jhaella-maladath]

Nah, it’s definitely people not really understanding that every hour of consumed content is hundreds of hours of development time and that dungeons released in WoW years ago were so beyond simple that they’re braindead and content like that doesn’t fly anymore and people require more, and more and more.

If you think it’s so bad and you don’t care about the story at all, the reason why it’s a catch-up isle is so you don’t feel like you have to do it. Just play another game while you wait for the next big patch to drop, or do something else.

I’m playing other games in my backlog, I ain’t stressed.

[Sephrinx-sargeras]

They should have just added nothing and not wasted their time on this. Instead put that effort into an actual patch with actual content.

[Aliama-moon-guard]

Whoooh, lets not bring story into this. That’s a dog turd that’s been lit on fire then a cat peed the flames out.

However, that’s the point. The only sane thing to do right now is play other games. That’s the problem.

[Sephrinx-sargeras]

I really wish that they would just retcon everything from Legion to Current wow out of the game entirely.

The damage that was done especially with Shadowlands is irreparable and beyond measure. The writer for this was 100% doing some sort of sabotage to the franchise/IP. There’s no way someone can come up with this stuff and be serious and sincere with it… “God” is a robot handsome squidward? We’re all just machines/robots and the afterlife is a weird machine playground but then there are infinite numbers of them and the Maw is a thing? Like… what?

[Sendryn-sentinels]

@Sephrinx-sargeras

I guess they should just work on main patches instead of these luke warm watered down bland mini patches.

So you want zero content until February or March?

@Aliama-moon-guard

Yes. Because it’s a .7 patch that usually doesn’t even add content at all. But this patch also adds Turbulent Time ways, Plunderstorm and another questline that isn’t finished yet to be released in a few weeks.

It was also time gated due to the ring and how once we’re done with it, has the potential to cheese the current content, which they don’t want to see happen until much closer to the end of the season.

I’ve explained every part of this. Timegating is necessary in sub based MMOs for the health and longevity of the game, along with marketing and player retention.

To which a reply was given about PoE which is not a sub based MMO. Nor even an MMORPG to compare with timegating.

@Aliama-moon-guard

So yes, it’s a pretty valid thing to go ‘this is it?’

So your entire point in asking to define MMORPG was to say this… when I literally said twice:

@Sendryn-sentinels

@Sephrinx-sargeras

I’m really not impressed with the expansion so far, no. Expected much more.

Which is fine. We all have our feelings on it.

@Sendryn-sentinels

You don’t like the expansion. We get it. That’s fine.

You got into an argument with me without even reading conversations or comprehending what was said. I’m not the one in here claiming people should be happy. I literally said everyone is going to feel differently about this content.

What I did do was give information on why it’s timegated. To which you agreed with.

Yet still chose to troll.

I have no words for that.

[Aliama-moon-guard]

Who said I didn’t like the expansion? Also it was going to be a “we get there when we get there”. Also the issue is that there’s free games that do it better and we’re not paying for it. This .7 is awful because it realistically adds nothing but it makes drones attack people who voice their issues with it.
