This is the worst launch in the history of launches

Accidentally posted this in the wrong forum before, but anyways: It takes a lot of something, to have seen the state of the beta and thought that this was the time to push this steaming hunk of trash of a build through. I can only assume all the developers have quit and the place is being run by managers only because no person with a sense of pride in their work would have let this through onto live servers.

Eh, it’s playable, so that makes it not the worst.

Are these the type of standards you set for yourself?

I mean… they said the worst launch in the history of launches, the fact that it is playable makes that statement false.

WoD was worse in that it was not playable for 3 days, LE was worse in that it was not playable online for most of a week.

Not saying its good, just saying its not “the worst launch ever”

I cant speak personally since I quit long before WoD, but still, this is an extremely embarrassing launch, apparently a short while ago, players in the lvl 10-19 bracket of wsg were getting 10 levels of exp every flag capture, resulting players hitting high levels in the middle of the game and becoming unkillable gods for a match.

Edit: if anything, they should have had an open PTR instead of a closed beta, the two servers were always dead whenever I logged into them which probably was a large contributor to why this game is completely busted right now

I love the mentality people have where you point out something false about the point they are trying to convey and instead of owning it and accepting the mistake they turn around with the old oh you must support this then :roll_eyes:

It’s absolutely unacceptable to release the prepatch without the prepatch event.

Beyond unacceptable.

This is correct, it should have been fixed

deathwing is in and kills people in wetlands and co but just no elemental invasion

is he actually? isn’t there supposed to be a global message when he shows up somewhere?

I agree in part. I did play quite a bit of beta and submitted many of the bugs that made it to live already.

I’m more inclined to believe that their dev “team” (18 year old interns) are just so incompetent that they cant even fix glaring issues that are handed to them on a silver platter from us, their testers, in a bug report.

I got killed by DW in the Barrens

Tell me you don’t have a clue how software development works without actually saying so.

Eh, more likely the team is just stretched too thin, SoD is taking up too much dev time.

But its not a launch, its a pre-patch.

Care to explain to me how a beta bug tracker works?

It’s not the worst in the history of launches, I mean I’ve seen some from SWG that were way worse, and WoW has had some bad ones but alot of those were due to server stability and the sheer volume of players.

That said this is a relaunching of an expansion that is notorious to start with so you should know going in as a Dev team that it has to be right and some problems with the expansion as whole needed to be adjusted just to try and keep your players from hitting the nope train.

They have failed at both from what I can t tell and they have no one to blame but themselves as most of these bugs were reported on beta and there was no communication to players about what changes needed to be seen unlike what was stated at Blizzcon.
