One thing I see over and over again is “20 year old game…[blah blah blah]” this is a stupid take, I get it though we have multiple versions of the game running on the same infrastructure this is not a 20 year old situation. Anyone who thinks this game is as it was 20 years ago has been living under a rock.
What i do blame them for:
- Not testing their own game, surely making sure two versions of the game couldn’t interact has to be on a QA checklist somewhere, how did something like this slip through.
- Relatedly WTF is the point of launching content 3 days after maintenance, if not to find and remove last minute bugs? If you had just launched bgs after maintenance on tuesday this whole thing would’ve been in the past.
- I spent all week laughing at the idiots still farming WPVP because i was smuggly secure in my knowledge that i had taken friday off from work and would easily make up all the honor i needed. but now we find the window has gotten 18 hours shorter. And getting a late start in the week from failing to launch on thursday, i realize now i was the idiot in having faith in a smooth launch.
- with the shortened week to farm honor i took friday (today) off to spend the day in AV only to find i’m not allowed to through no fault of my own, i can’t get my PTO back and i’m stuck sitting on my hands 'til the servers come back up at noon (not holding my breath on that one!)
- After blizzard shutdown BGs, they reported that they expected to have them back up “very soon” and then radio silence as we waited for 4 hows for them to come back up only to then be told “f— off we’ll fix it tomorrow afternoon” [ yes afternoon 7-9 pst is 10-noon for me]
with all of that said i’m still really pissed off. in particular if i fail to reach my honor requirements for the week while i was 100% willing to put the work in but blizz couldn’t manage the god damned uptime i will unsub.

Blizzard suck and only care about extracting as much as they can out of their player base whilst at the same time screwing them up the butt.

If you cant reach this small honor cap before reset, you should just quit the PvP grind now before you start- you wont make anything lol
while i’m sure a portion of that is true, for the matter at hand, a wise man once said “never attribute to malice, that which can be adequately explained by stupidity [or in this case incompetence]” and i’m willing to do that here, but it doesn’t make me any less pissed off.

7-9 PST (10-noon EST) is in fact NOT afternoon because its, you know, not after noon…

i mean if we can get into the game at exactly 12:00:00.00 on the dot or earlier.
you expect that to happen?
I expect it to be before that. Most of blizzards maintenance end early these days.
sure for normal tuesday maintenance.
but when was the last time they had a “oh we f–'d up bad” maintenance that didn’t get exteneded?
Aggrend is an out of touch weirdo who understands nothing about what makes classic great.

Sure, Hanlon’s Razor definitely works too. It’s like Blizzard was offshored to India. DO NOT REDEEM SAAR!

i don’t know how that applies here.
Yes because everyone refers to 11:53 as “the morning”
Is your argument that a time 7 minutes before noon is after noon?
no, it isn’t “after noon” but it is “The afternoon” as we all colloquially understand as a society and have long before you were ever born you pedantic little…

Today. The servers are up early like I said, no extension. A whole hour early for you.
But are the battlegrounds fixed?
Well they are up and can be queued, so we will see
Just be happy they support a 21 years old game karen
Don’t blame Blizzard or you blame yourself, noob
you blame Blizzard = you blame 418k honor threshold → dare you???
Why is it practically every thread is someone whining about PvP, or someone on the PvP servers whining about how life isn’t fair?
