Well they wouldn’t “pay out” anything, they’d just reduce the sub price.
Who’s to say the sub price isn’t already reduced? Who’s to say the actually price of a sub isn’t $15.45, and since the beginning they have graciously reduced it to just $15 to compensate you that 45 cents for maintenance.
I blame the joke that was beta. All the bugs, exploits, etc. are the reason why.
Funny they never extend my game time money pay day
I actually think that’s a great idea. Perhaps put an expiration date on the purchase of time, like “use it or lose it”. In general, it would probably mitigate some of the issues related to time loss. Neat!
Thats because its in the agreement that we accept downtime for maintanence.
At one point in the past, that was the WoW sub in China: pay per time played
poor planning, lack of leadership
CA is a socialist state, I’m sure labor protections force them to take longer
WoW is a very large and very old system. It was designed for computer environments that existed a quarter century ago and has been heavily modified since.
Unlike other Microsoft products, not only does the development team have to keep the system updated, they have to add new content as well. With most large software products, like operating systems, database systems, network systems and so forth, it’s the customers who add the content. The developers just keep the system up to date.
So it’s not easy and considering how large and complex things are, they are actually doing rather well.
Yeah turns out all those QA layoffs before TWW came out really did have an impact on the game.
Get used to it I guess because the QA layoffs in January came after the Microsoft merger and was their decision.
Labor protections would have prevented this lmao
some people have a job/family/responsibilities…crazy i know
Go take a bath
Blizzard was hiring two QA leads during TWW live server beta.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets extended another 2 hours.
This is a skill based issue, Blizz does not hire based on skill alone anymore.
Here we are.
Enjoy!
Yeah, definitely not a good sign for QA of the game.
Why?
As the Brits might say:
“Improper Planning and Preparation Promotes Piss Poor Performance”
No one here is in a place where they can speak on competence, because no one here knows what Blizzard is doing in these maintenance windows. All we can do is speculate.
that’s probably not all they’re doing.
It’s turning to hate not gonna lie
Which is exactly why it shouldn’t have been released in August.
Absolutely incorrect, shill. TIME is MONEY…when you only have limited time to play during the week, you’re missing far more than “9 cEnTs HUR HUR”
