Except they specifically set tuesdays as a regular maintenance day to minimizing downtime throughout the week. What does your one experience with wrath have anything to do with that
I see that as evidence that they are still understaffed, or the new employees are yet to be fully trained. In any case, they clearly arenât working on existing bugs, things like levelers being forced into legacy loot in BfA dungeons. I think they ought to be concerned about having put in a change that will result in a long-term loss of players, but they donât seem to feel that losing new players is any big deal.
Too bad itâs a zero priority.

it was slightly more than âone experienceâ.
the reason i mentioned it, is because you said you decided to play WoW over some other game, because of downtime schedules during Wrath.
not only was downtime during Wrath constant and ongoing as it is now, but there were also heaps of server stability issues which saw realms being down at random times.
And where in your contract with Blizzard does it say that they have to have the servers up at YOUR convenience?
Where does it say that they have to allow you a certain number of hours a month to play?
YOUR scheduling issues are not Blizzardâs problems.
Stop pretending like they are. Youâre not the center of their world.
Maintaining the structure of their game is their top priority.

They have to defrag the servers running on Windows 95. All those ghost spells, lost NPCs, missing hamsters, gold uncollected, rage chats in Alterac Valley, and each log in from your computer adds up.
I was there, Frodo, 3,000 years ago when I used to let that 
run all night.

Maybe they could fix bugs before releasing patches? But thatâs just a game theory!
GW2 is neat, game doesnât go down for patches. Live updates!
good QA means really nothing, QA is us the players, reporting and reporting, the problem is that how you validate if it is really a bug or not?
the bug as to be replicated, i have sent bugs, just to find out that i was doing something wrong =( and was my mistake
but once is been proven, example a youtuber showing the issue and demostrating why, then QA dev should look into that and if is valid fix it.
example issues with talents⌠why do i care new content if cant use whats fundamental for the game or build?
the priority of the bug is important, talents? boss figts? raid? m+? pvp?
Like a shinny bobble.
âYou are the productâ, meaning what once was a paid activity is now done for free by us.
Another example of Blizz exploitation.
They try but itâs literally impossible to catch every bug in a timely manner.
Different type of game, built on different server infrastructure with a different code base.

The amount of game breaking bugs that end up requiring more maintenance is way too high, the amount of times I get disconnected is also way too high.
Itâs weird how people will play defense for a company that they pay, not for one that pays them.
You didnât play in BFA or SL did you?
Iâve never had a DC issue, it sounds like itâs on your end not theirs.
Itâs weird how people who have no idea how coding or servers work try to tell Blizzard how coding and servers work.
No I started playing I think January, why?
Itâs a them issue, and itâs been thoroughly reported in bug, CS forums and people mentioning them in game.
Seemingly like you, and how you come to their defense with an excuse apparently for everything. Goodbye, though. Not worth having a debate with someone like you.
Context matters: The March items were added to the Trading Post the day after this weekâs Tuesday maintenance, so a maintenance on Thursday should not be a surprise. It was only an hour anyways, why are you crying? You donât have ANYTHING else you can do for sixty minutes???
To fix bugs/patch the game. Wow is live service game, hence the 15 a month charge.

Who cares, pick someone else to get your post count up with pointless comments. How many times have you recycled this one. What does IT experience have to do with anything? Let me guess you have IT experience and want a cookie?
Does this make sense to you? Someone states that there are too many bugs in dragonflight and you point out that there were alot of bugs in SL and BFA? What exactly is this suppose to mean? What does one have to do with the other? So great they where both too buggy ? This is a good example of a someone who has no concept of logic or how to have an actual discussion that involves different viewpoints.
well, you see, this game is almost 20 years old and has had literally hundreds of different coders all writing different lines of code for different systems. sometimes that stuff doesnât like to work well with each other. so it has to be fixed.
After the reveal a couple months ago of what
Activision Blizzard pay their QA team in comparison to other companies, it doesnât surprise me. They are paying them at nearly half the rate of some other companies. Notable examples being Riot Games and Bungie. Donât expect it to suddenly get better unless Activision changes itâs ways. Which isnât likely at all.
Hereâs a thoughtâŚhow about everyone remember that this is a GAME?!
