They are making sweeping changes on the fly, rather than wait until major patches.

This is what the community wanted from the game.

But, I get it. Hate post away my dudes. That’s what Sundays and Tuesdays are for.

They had to cut back on hamsters and wheels. Not enough budget.

Dumb take. Please point to the patch notes for Sept 24 that indicate which adjustment in a numerical multiplier means their devops can’t get the servers back online for double their maintenance window. Just a hint: changing a small multiplier for a talent shouldn’t require a 5 hour maintenance.

Gametime should only be consumed when the game is able to be played, as in the servers are up.

There’s been a real brain drain over there in the past several years, that combined with poor recruitment processes has landed us in the buggiest, most maintenance absorbent product to date.

They are also implementing the change on the Conquest weapons. I am sure it has something to do with that, making sure everyone gets their retroactive amounts spilled into the new Feat of Strength and that its awarding the right amount of tokens for purchase.

Plus, whatever we have no idea is happening behind the scenes. I just love how every GD poster has a PhD in Server maintenance and can do a better job all the time. Cannot wait for your game to release so I can play it. lol

I heard somewhere they formed a Union. That means even worse work ethic and longer maintenance if true.

They have to run two passes to make sure enhancement shaman got extra nerfed… Every single patch note has a hidden nerf just for the enhancement shaman this time… its

  • Shaman
  • Enhancement
    • [With realm restarts] With 2 stacks of Tempest available, Primordial Wave will now cause you to cast additional Lightning Bolts as intended, instead of casting additional Tempests.

Dumb take. Would you still expect to pay for a dozen eggs when they only give ten or eleven?

lol the fact that the game is 20 years old IS the ultimate excuse.

Iterating on 20 year old code is an absolute nightmare. But it’s all good. I know exactly what GD is about.
