With all the leaks coming out, with Blizcon coming soon and now all of a sudden they put this Retail UI update on us…
Tinfoil hat time, but it’s almost as if they are just trying to prepare us for something coming really really soon…
What do you guys think, am I on to something or have I been looking at to many The Why Files and Caspersight Videos?…
yeah haven’t you heard all the youtubers, it’s for CLASSIC PLUS (read: retail minus)
They want a unified backend. Mop got this recently, now its our turn.
The brass likes unified in the game industry. Hence all that UE 5 spam of late sweeping the games nation.
Look, its common so we can maintain this easier for you the customer. No more in house stuff harder to maintain!
Read….no more devs walking into the manager’s office with leverage for pay debates. Key personnel very familiar with the in house custom stuff…adds weight to salary bonus discussions. If they leave as only key…junior devs are sinking or swimming soon.
And one day maybe that gets true. for now UE being common to be easier has hit a wall. damn near 100% of games made on run like butt over a year into release. We were promised its known so easier. Okay…explain that crap optimization then AAA.
Getting this back on wow…all of us the same. If team aggrend really gets stuck and Holly is feeling generous she can go…dude I can lend you 2 of Ion’s UI dudes for 2 weeks. Make the most of it.
Common core, retail ui devs can come in not even skipping a beat. Or it just trickles down from retail. 1 change to rule them all.
Mostly. from some rants, legit too, yesterday blizzard in its wisdom forgot TBC has something retail doesn’t players track. Threat. Quite the oversight there really.
