To the people complaining about 9.1

Community General Discussion

What is the big deal here? 9.1 seemingly has more content than any .1 patch since MoP (which wasn’t even considered a great patch). New zone with rares that drop mounts/xmog/toys, new mega-dungeon, new campaign, new raid, maw invasions. Here’s a quantitative list of content from the past 4 .1 patches.
6.1

  • Selfie Camera
    7.1
  • Legion Invasions
  • Karazhan Mega-Dungeon
  • Suramar Campaign
  • Nighthold
  • Expanded Artifacts
    8.1
  • New Vendors? (lol)
  • Faction Campaign
  • Faction Assaults
  • Dazar’Alor
  • PAIN
    9.1
  • Expanded Soulbind Trees
  • New Torghast Floors
  • New Zone
  • New Covenant Campaign
  • Broker Mega Dungeon
  • Maw Raid
  • Not really content, but huge addition of Raider.io in-game.
  • New renown cap (arbitrary, but there)

Am I missing anything for any patch? This patch seems to be equal or more than 7.1 in terms of content.
They are even adding bonus rolls back for people that have been complaining about loot drops. It seems like they are working to address a lot of issues, not even to mention QoL and small changes being added this time around. Seems really weird to have these complaints about something still in it’s starting phase on PTR.

That seems to be about on par with what we are receiving in 9.1.

But it is in GD’s nature to rage over preliminary information that has only just been released on PTR.

Theres a new type of player playing the game. These people want mythic/gladiator gear handed to them with no effort. All they do is complain about having to run torghast or having to raid or mythic plus timers.

True, I mean they are even adding bonus rolls back to appease people who don’t think they get enough loot.

The one constant in the world (of warcraft) is someone, somewhere, will complain.

Exactly this :point_up:
No matter what, they will never be content.

I think a lot of folks would be here to argue with you guys about this, but most of them have already unsubbed and left for other games.

Systems =/= Content

You can keep trying to convince people that they should like the game in its current state, I suppose, but your arguments are falling on increasingly absent ears, my dudes.

Cool. Less complaints? All for it.

Honestly my gripe is with scope. How long is this major content patch supposed to last? 6+ months before 9.2? Potentially 6 months of 1 mega dungeon, 1 raid and 1 mini zone?

If it’s a 3-4 month piece of content, understandable, but the other bells and whistles they’ve put in will be thoroughly worn out by week 1 of patch release (minus covenant stuff because that’s definitely getting time gated)

  • Expanded Soulbind Trees = Systems
  • New Torghast Floors = 3 more floors of the same thing we already have, not really groundbreaking here.
  • New Zone = yes you are correct on this one :+1:
  • New Covenant Campaign = systems
  • Broker Mega Dungeon = also correct on this one :+1:
  • Maw Raid = :arrow_up:
  • Not really content, but huge addition of Raider.io in-game. = SMH :disappointed:
  • New renown cap (arbitrary, but there) = systems

So yes there is new stuff here but I would not go as far to say most of it is more than we have had in the past minus the selfie cam patch.

And man looking back I want to do 7.1 again for the first time. That was all stuff I was excited about.

Sure, the soulbind system is an independent system, but which else is? I agree the game isn’t perfect but the hate it’s getting is almost close to BfA levels which is undeserved.

Covenant campaigns aren’t a system though lol. They’re a quest chain, I guess Classic was full of systems too then?

Lol, duck the open discussion and shill if you wish, the issue I raised is a legitimate concern but whatever, if you’re happy with what 9.1 offers for potentially half a year, honestly I’m happy for you

I think you have legitimate criticisms, and I agree with them. 9.0 has lasted way too long, hopefully 9.1 isn’t as long.

Duck? This is what you responded to…we didn’t have a discussion. If you expect me to argue your points, sorry to disappoint. If you are unhappy, in all fairness, I’d simply suggest you spend your time doing something you enjoy.

If by quest you mean you have to unlock renown level 46 to carry on in the covenant quest then yes it is still systems.

It wouldn’t be GD any other way.

Ironically one of BfAs best expansion features.

You missed PvP gear system rework. It has WoD style scaling now.

I mean it’s timegating, Yeah timegating sucks. It’s also existed since Vanilla WoW. The campaign is not a system anymore than Suramar or the War campaign was. Suggesting it is is disingenuous.
