Look at all these people getting angry something was fixed.
How dare something be fixed that they don’t care about. Their issues are the only issues obviously, Geeze…

I feel comfortable stating that class development should be more important than battle pets.

Cool! Lore, do you think the bug team could fix the bug I have been staring at for 5 years now and have asked repeatedly to fix? Back-sheathed weapons on male Tauren have sheathed backwards since WoD when the new models were forced to be used over the old models.
Here’s a link the bug forum I’ve been hitting since May (I don’t have the old pasts over the last 5 years): https ://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/male-tauren-only-back-sheathed-weapons/7273
Make a male Tauren, equip the Warglaives of Azzinoth and see that the handles are outwards and not towards the back. All back sheathed weapons are like this for male Tauren. Don’t worry, it’s only been 5 years, and I’m sure this cats model was a problem too.

Congratulations on your comfort level.
Your Class Development team, isn’t remotely the same team that handles models and Battle pets.
It’s almost like Blizzard could literally be working on multiple things, at the same time!
Shocking I know.

What you’re missing is that class development is a bit more complicated than “oops, PetID#Smoochums is pointing to the wrong model ID…fixed”.

There are a lot of individual issues with multiple class/specs that are at that level of complexity. If it’s a matter of resource availability and team-level bandwidth, they have a major problem in resource allocation. If a smart person was in charge, there wouldn’t even be a “battle pet team” while satisfaction levels were this low with classes.
I’m a friggin’ shaman, probably one of the worst classes in all of BFA right now, and I think your Tilting at Windmills.
Are you seriously suggesting, that Blizzard should not be allowed to have a seperate modeling team, or even a team dedicated to a part of their content, because some people are unhappy with their class?
Wow… Just wow.

I said if a smart person was running the dev shop, theyd allocate their resources to the most important systems of the game first.
It’s annoying. Don’t berate someone who comes on to announce a correction to something that was upsetting a number of people (myself included) - this was a positive, thoughtful act and much appreciated.
Why is necessary to screw the pooch for other people’s moment of pleasure?

Hey, since you’re fixing models, can you untwist the back foot of the Horde FP wyvren mounts again? You guys finally, after years, fixed it, and now you broke it again.

When core aspects of your product are this bad, it’s offputting to the majority of users to see this kind of attention given to such an insignificant portion of the game when attention isn’t being put into the important parts. I promise you, i’m not the only one that feels this way.
By all means, fix the stupid pet. If you’re going to engage with the community, engage with them on something that actually matters to most of them, or else you come across like this.
It still comes across as petty, I’m sorry. They saw something (yes, its small) that was a relatively easy fix that made a sector of the players happy. Does that fix the game’s big issues? No it doesn’t. But I still think chewing them out for doing something nice is, frankly tacky.
What will happen more and more is that they will make changes and just say nothing. And then people will say they don’t tell us about things. Its a sort of damned if you do scenario.

I’ll be clear. It would have looked better on them to fix this one and say nothing. It’s embarrassing that classes in general are this bad and THIS is what they have to talk to us about today after months and months and months of us telling them about problems through beta and 8.0 to deaf ears. I am one person who doesn’t care enough to actually state this opinion. There are thousands more who think this way.
I’m pretty sure the latency issue is Smoochums haunting the network equipment. Once he settles down this will be a force multiplier fix.

So, all I’m still getting is “I don’t like this, I don’t consider it content, therefore it should not be given any support, because the issues I have with this game aren’t fixed yet.”
Different teams, different missions, different jobs, different goals.
A modeling team member would NOT be working on class balancing.
They would be working on models, and there’s probably a sub section of model makers that work specifically on the pets in this game.
So your saying fire this person whose just doing their job, so they can hire another balancing person? Because it’s not the content you enjoy?
Like, really? That’s really narrow minded. Your experience isn’t the only experience.
Again, I’m a shaman, my class is literally nearly at the bottom of the game, and only barely got a tiny buff in 8.1, and I’m still happy they fixed Smoochums, because surprisingly, I can recognize the people that would fix this would have nothing to do with class balancing.
Go spread your vitriol somewhere else. This is a community win, you wouldn’t have literally a dozen or more 50+ reply threads in regards to an issue if people didn’t care.

Then you aren’t very smart. Battle pets are less important than classes.
You don’t know any better than anyone else here who physically made the code change, so let’s just get that out there. Developers aren’t inflexible. You can allocate resources to projects outside of their normal work when you need to.
YOU REPLIED! YES! Thank you ![:smiley:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/smiley.png?v=6" ":smiley:")

Newsflash: People like different things in the game. Hard to grasp sometimes, but the world doesn’t revolve around you.

Don’t worry, they are killing the ability to disable Experience gain at 110 as well.

Yeah, okay.
I’m not the one literally getting tilted that a battle pet got fixed, and a community manager reached out to let people who were upset about something being broken that the issue had been resolved.
I’m not the one acting like this is a serious outrageous issue that how dare they fix this battle pet, when there is Class imbalance n the game.
Does it hurt to be this pessimistic all the time? You can’t just be happy to know issues are being fixed? even if they don’t directly fix something you enjoy?
