Anyone else reminded of Atlas early access launch with all these push backs? Its kind of funny but also annoying as many people that don’t work mon-fri jobs actually did trade shifts to be off for this. Some extreme people even used vacation time.
What they could do is just leave this one alone as planned and do a separate final one a week or w/e later when they are ready. They don’t really lose anything by not canceling it and adding an extra. But I guess they don’t really gain much either aside from making the customers happy so why should they bother.
Thank you for taking your time and making the game fun and good. At least i know that i will have a good experience in august at release. I would have like very much to have been able to play it before the actual release but at least i know you guys are working hard at it.
In other words, you don’t want people using their three free days of game time that were just gifted. You want to milk everyone for that $15 sub because you know people will sub just for the test.
The free days expire on July 28. Likely we see the stresstest one week later, which puts it right after the days expire. Super shady.
The Free Days are for you to play BfA. They’re not a gift for any sort of failure on Blizzard’s part. Treating it with venom because their test date slipped is pretty arrogant since those 3 free days were not gifted for a stress test.
Regardless, we haven’t been told if we ever need a sub for the final test. They want it to be big, and they’re only going to get that if they remove the restriction. You’ll have a fair bit of egg if you accuse them of “shady practices” because the free days you were given to play BfA aren’t usable for Classic, and then it turns out you don’t even need them.
Blizzard is a company in the business of making money. People need to be paid for all the work they’re doing on Classic.
You make it sound like they’re a private server trying to profit off the hard work of someone else. They are the producers of the game you are desperate to play. Many of the people on the Classic team are the original developers.
This is pretty naive of you. Three free days are three free days. If you think for a second that they don’t want the stress test to land at the same time free sub days can be used, you’re kidding yourself. All you have to do is check their history, everything is set up for maximum $ drain for the fans.
There’s a difference between being a business who of course produces a product for money and tactics that take advantage of people. Anywho, good luck with the blinders.
Did the email telling you about your 3 free days say “Here, play WoW, do whatever!” or did they say “8.2 is here, use this game time to experience the new content!”
It’s pretty naive to be upset that they would protect their investment. Even so, that isn’t why the test slipped. As mentioned above, there’s been quite a few infrastructure decisions in the last week that changed and now they have to reorganize to account for that in their world wide launch stress test. That takes time and they need to slip the test to get it done.
