I never said it was shut down?
As much as I like ooga as a concept. Every serious ganker is only going to go horde. Shame how nothing on alliance has popped up, but then again the qqing would be as much as horde squealed about alliance ganking flight paths in bfa (which both factions did, horde just got the sob story cause of greater numbers to boost the claim).
Speak for yourself, I am pretty hyped with the stress test going on.
You think viewers gonna be rabid for a month watching lvl 30 do SM and lvl 40s do uldaman? Viewership has declined from peak of beta launch and testers play less than they did doesnât equate to âZOMG HYPE DEADâ. Overall Wow viewership is still quite up from the usual 5k viewers it has.

Imagine complaining about how 10k year old elven ruins arenât supposed to look like 10k year old elven ruins from essentially the same level of culture.
Also complaining about something looks. Thatâs a such a big problem with people these days and games. How the game looks beyond text being legible and abilities being understandable should have no importance on how the game plays. Developers and customers that put too much emphasis on looks and sound over gameplay and mechanics shouldnât have a say in game creation.
I donât have beta access. If I did, Iâd be playing it.
Awww. Did you lose that lovinâ feelin too?
Itâs a 48 hour stress test. Who cares if they started it in the middle of the day?
Sounds like people are waiting it out to play release.

This game isnât and never was going to be popular after the first month of release. People who actually enjoy the game for what it is may still be done with content after a month of grinding.
This is the same fate as all modern games. Donât cry about it.
Itâs only actively monitored for a small fraction of that time.
I brought my laptop to work, fought over spawns for about 3 hours⌠but now I gotta finish working before my boss notices.
One thing, probably the greatest thing about MMORPGs is that they are a 24/7 (mostly⌠except reset day) world. Not everyone plays at the same times or even in the same time zones.
Think about it from another perspective, if they had run this stress test at about 3am⌠would you get more or less people?
But this isnât a âmodern gameâ. Consider it right up there with the retro games.
And those are doing great.
The level is capped at 40. Thereâs only so many 5 man dungeons. The stress test isnât unpopulated, itâs just testing layering.
You will get hyped again when we are closer to release.
It honestly doesnât bother me that much, which is why it was just an offhand comment at the end of my post. The current iteration of classes being utter trash is the actual issue, and they did literally nothing to address it in 8.2. Iâll still probably play through the 8.2 content in August when Classic is out and I donât have to wait through 2 months of time gating just to get through it all.
Superdeeduper.
You arenât wrong about classes being garbage. Playing ret and all my alts that I geared for mage tower, a few days and later months into bfa made me just feel so depressed about how broken and incomplete they are. Glad Ion had that long speech yesterday saying that unpruning will happen at âsome pointâ. 8.2 looks better than other bfa content. Although right now even though I am in the beta, I find myself playing retail. Not cause of sunken cost or âits habit or betterâ, but rather to just get everything that I wanted done/let slip over the years get out of the way before moving on to classic. Just close the book until something like mage tower comes up in bfa or whatever.
For me honestly, itâs the streamers.
Iâd be more hyped for it if Blizzard didnât give every single Streamer and âinfluencerâ beta access so they can circle jerk pvp all day.
I hate pvp, donât like it and donât want it. I wonât do it, wonât participate in it and wonât have a thing to do with it. Iâd be 100% more excited if I didnât know that Barrens chat is going to soon look like Asmondgoldâs twitch chat.

Um. Then donât watch. Itâs not like itâll have any real affect if you donât participate in some way.
