This Expansion was not ready

Looking at the patch notes being implemented today, you can only conclude that the original release of TWW was a beta. We have been paying to test the beta for the last couple of months.

Some classes are getting wholesale talent changes. Fundamental changes.

They have ran out of content in the current expansion and are putting a carnival up in the desert to keep the player base occupied.

When I saw the WoW roadmap that was published earlier this year, I thought it was too ambitious. I know the new leadership wants to “make their mark”, but the current state of the game is embarrassing to them.

TWW should have been a Nov-Dec release.

They could’ve done what they did other anniversaries and just handed us an item that gives a 5% buff.

These patch notes look identical to every other patch nodes going back 20 yrs.

I’d normally roll my eyes at posts like these, but the sheer volume and persistence of bugs and disparities in talent design among classes this expansion is starting to wear on me a bit.

Clearly with all the extra down time it was not ready to go live.
Im able to play every day when I want, though, so no real complaints.

From the guy who

  1. has no pvp achievements
  2. no raid progress (on any mode)
  3. no mythic progress
  4. has done some delves

Why are you talking about being out of content when you haven’t even done really any of it?

Nothing is unusual about mid-expansion re-works, at any stage in the game including fundamental changes to how classes function (look at shadow priests in the previous expansion, as well as a few others)

There’s also a bunch of new technologies they threw into this expansion that are going to have some bugs, and bugs don’t always show up in small group testing scenarios

Also you’ve always had to pay to play the beta

yawn Keep festering in your basement.

You can solve this problem yourself. Just wait until you feel the game is ready before playing. That’s what would have happened anyway if they had delayed the release.

Tbf since they announced these changes 2 weeks after the expansion went live, it does give the impression that they rushed things. These kind of fundamental changes are stuff that should’ve come with launch day, not first patch and definitely not announced so early.

Given that I was among those crying out for enhancement to get some serious attention, I have to agree with this part at least. But…

Yeah man. It’s the next patch. Of course they’re adding stuff to keep us occupied. That’s how it works. You’re not exactly exposing some dark secret by pointing out that they’re adding new content because the current content has been out for a couple of months.

IT was very ready, you’re just whining becuase you have no life outside of playing WOW all day every day and your brain cannot handle not being able to play for one day of maintenance. admit it.

please for your own sake and your dwindling life,

go create something meaningful in your life dont piss it all away on a video game

Why do people say this as if giving players something to do to make their sub worth it is a bad thing? You’re jaded beyond repair - only a long break will fix this for ya.
