Why did the pre-patch release this badly?

The game is so buggy it’s not even a beta test, it’s more like an alpha test.

I thought Blizzard brought on a whole new team to help with the development, why is this so bad?

compared to previous pre-patches, this is a dream. I’m not saying its all sunshine and rainbows, but… it’s been MUCH worse before.

Or how bout Legion prepatch that needed the communities feature removed for awhile because it also made the game unplayable.

I remember that too. At least this is playable. sure there’s some annoyances, but i was actually pleasantly surprised at how few there were.

Specially for the sheer about of system changes.

I hate this response… Its not a good excuse or reason. So basically Blizzard hasn’t learned how to improve their process and policy. Got it. That doesn’t help… Sure is fun to reminisce about past failures I guess.

theres two ways to process failure. laugh at it and say “Well, at least it wasnt as bad as that one time,” or cry about it and sulk. I choose to be the former.

No game launches bug free, but I’ve barely run into any bugs in prepatch.

I haven’t either… At least none that are game breaking for me to write a forum post about.

Obvious rush to release expansion before the holidays.

Anyone worried they’re just putting the crafting stuff into Beta now, like a month from release ?

DF smells of obvious “not ready”.

Game as a whole is fine, although I could have done without the massive health increase they slapped on monsters out in the open world.

Bunch of class stuff is buggy, but Blizzard’s always been bad with class mechanics.
