TWW was never a finished product to begin with and rather than sort out the many issues associated with it, They just move on to midnight and leave TWW is a state of disrepair. And we are supposed to just keep subbing for another half a year like this? They have put 0 effort into balancing or polishing any of this crap that…. wait for it… WE ALL PAID FOR! and continue to pay for with subs. And we don’t even get a finished product? Just “oh preorder midnight and play beta before midnight even comes out because we simply don’t care that you paid all that money for TWW a year ago, We have dinosaur mounts for $100 on the shop so screw you and your bug fixes, balance updates, etc. Pay up more money for more broken to come in a year pleb customer”
That is literally where we are with this crap and it is absurd. I hope Microsoft stock collapses and Blizzard shuts down. As a 30 yr Blizzard customer I must say I am sickened by how horrible this company has become.
Yea… it’s pretty pathetic and sad though. and it shows in the sub numbers. they can’t even muster as many subs globally as they did in the US market alone a little over a decade ago. And that is with you multiplying the potential for more customers by over 10.
We’ve got all the content they’ve promised so far (more on the way though).
And this is why you shouldn’t be taken seriously, because Blizzard has thousands of employees, 99% of whom are not responsible for the decisions you dislike. Hoping they all lose their jobs, potentially leaving them homeless, is unacceptable behaviour.
We don’t even know the sub numbers. The last estimation was during DF. And the MMORPG genre isn’t the popular genre right now. Different generation of gamers, different decade, etc.
So I’m not going to doomsay the game to its grave. They’re trying to keep up and keep relevant in a time where they’re the “my parents played that” game.
Pushing stuff out the door isn’t helpful and the bugs are more and more annoying. I’ll give you that.
Well, unless you count the advertisement that was being talked about recently that advertised the game as having 9 million players.
Which, given that it was an official event which Blizzard themselves organised, is as much of an official statement on player numbers as we’re going to get these days.
It was still an official event authorised and promoted by Blizzard Entertainment. They would have been involved in the creation of the trailers (which used footage from World of Warcraft cinematics). You don’t get to do a World of Warcraft 20th anniversary music tour and get to promote it without someone at Blizzard Entertainment being involved and approving the content of those trailers.
So if they didn’t want the 9 million players figure in there, it wouldn’t have been in there. They would have ordered that to get pulled from the trailer and replaced by something else.
And mind you, these events take months to organize, so there’s no way that was snuck in there by someone being cheeky. Blizzard would have approved those trailers themselves before anyone ever saw one second of it.
While not as extreme as our salty OP, I do agree with the sentiment that it’s frustrating that they keep moving on and leaving things broken.
It’s a sloppy look to have current and past expansions be riddled with bugs, regardless of if the content is current.
New player trying out BFA Chromie time? Pay no attention to all the broken world quests, broken quests, broken island enemies etc.
Only speaking about BFA and TWW there are lots of bugs still, they never bothered fixing the dawnbreaker issues even after bringing it back for 2 seasons. Honestly pretty ridiculous.
Somebody said the first priority is to make money, and I get that, but surely an argument could be made to keeping old content functioning, resulting in money via customer retention? If not then how about a little pride in the product?
How the hell does the story make sense? Please do tell instead making assumptions on my cognetive skills. Jesus, you fanboys are way too much for my taste.
Spiders to goblins to outer space and it is called the war within… And we still do not know anything about the world soul nor beledar. Dont tell me please go read the books/comics, I have a life.
you know what, w/e you can live with your own experiences. I dont need to know.
Yeah, bugs in WoW expansions/patches have always been a thing since the game launched over 20 years ago.
Never made assumptions on your cognitive skills; I said you’re probably not someone who likes to pay attention to the story in WoW. Meaning you like to just accept quests and not read quest text, you don’t click the ‘stay a while and listen’ prompts, you don’t pay attention to cinematics, etc. You’re more interested in the gameplay than anything else.
