yeah what he said lol

They use “estimated” in every single announcement. That’s not a deadline.

Call me crazy but i would just rather know upfront and not have an expectation of them doing what they SAID they would do and then seeming to fail EVERYTIME. I too would never take time off on a patch day though, just happened to be here today and was hoping to play when they told us we would be able to, does seem like an unrealistic expectation on my part. We went from a customer always right world to the corporation is always right and I think that is just 1 extreme to another.

I didn’t take any time off work. I get off at 3 PM CDT, and should have only had to wait an additional 2 hours before the game would have been available to play given their 8 hour window they established.

With their new window, of 12 hours, this game supposedly will be available to play at 9PM, by which time I have to be in bed to wake up at 0430 tomorrow.

And If I tell my boss I estimate that I’ll be done by 3, and I’m not, I have to explain why. As that was a “Soft” deadline established. This is the same thing happening here. They established it would take them 8 hours to finish, establishing the soft deadline of completion. And we all know if I constantly stated 8 hours to my boss, and failed to meet that 8 hours constantly, it wouldn’t be good.

They never said they would do anything. They set, like always, an ETA, which is an estimate.

This isn’t really one of those situations. Yes we’re the customer, but we also sign a T&A that acknowledges this happens. They’ll also probably give everyone a day on their subs. They usually do when it’s delayed this much.

Yet you replied :dracthyr_blob_dance_animated:

197

yeah they should be more transparent with it, because we are conditioned to accept the extensions on maintenance. People can cope with their responses of “Get a job, a hobby, a relationship besides WoW, lol like me” to make themselves feel like a better person, but the reality is it’s actually not right and people don’t expect much from Blizzard anymore.

Actually an estimate is a “we will do X” (or at least try), they never seem to try that hard but ok you win that argument :). On another note, good chat and differing opinions are a good thing so thanx for actually talking and not just being rude for no reason…refreshing :slight_smile:

Yuh and? Just stating I don’t care if it’s extended cause this happens in many games extremely often it’s a complete nothing burger that op is trying to make a big deal over, just wants to get people angry and riled up over something that was inevitable.

I think Cata had one nearly that long, but that was so long ago that my memory is fuzzy. At any rate, jokes aside, it’s going to take as long as it takes.

Same to you!

I know it’s frustrating, patch days, especially pre-expansion ones, are exciting. But it’ll pass :).

We’ll all be on tomorrow playing around, and this will be a drop of a drop in the bucket.

Put a good tv show on and it’ll be here before you know it!
