Can’t help but notice Soar still has a cooldown…
Just a reminder that it shouldn’t be there.

For real, Dragonflying will not have a cooldown, soar shouldn’t either. We’re still gonna use the precious dragonflying system, as it has more abilities, just don’t make us wait so long between each soar.

Doesn’t feel like this to me. I’ve soloed mythic ToS (last Legion raid) and after that hotfix, I couldn’t get past the first boss anymore. I think they got something backward.

These were more important then playing the game i guess…

#148

The folks doing class balance have nothing to do with making the servers handle player loads.

:dracthyr_shrug:

Frustration is understandable, but don’t kick the team doing their job just because another aspect of the game has issues. They do have multiple teams of folks.

Welcome changes for warrior but since you are changing PVP modifiers that are different from PVE, specially the nerfs.

Defensive Stance needs to be reverted to 20%/20% or even better, 10%/20% as the PVE tooltip, in any case you are not only losing 10% damage now, but also not being in Battle/Berserker stance bonus.

Arms warriors feel like anything but Warriors. Squishy as hell

Is there going to be any communication to the player base regarding the state of the launch currently? Many of us are unable to log in, and if you do log in, it takes 30-60 seconds to do anything (quests, loot enemies, fishing, etc.) - we are basically waiting for the servers to catch up with themselves. Why are we at the 9th expansion, and still experiencing the same issues? Why are we 18 years deep and somehow cannot at least communicate with the player base the issue at hand? The lack of communication allows the player base to infer their own assumptions as to why the game is in the state that it is. Like wtf is going on?

Is this just being kept hush hush because better servers means more money spent by the company which means less money for CEO’s/Execs? Why are we going in a circle doing the same thing over and over again? Is this going to happen on the next expansion, if there is one? This just keeps happening and everyone excuses it rather than address the actual issue.

Perhaps you should work on fixing the servers before hot fixing other issues

It would have been easier to say “We’re pushing out a patch that does nothing to address any of the problems currently afflicting the game and we aren’t going to have any timely conversations with you about it.”

Congratulations on making Battlefield 2042’s launch look competent.

It blows my mind how a ton of people are barely able to play, meanwhile my server: Moon Guard, a straight up massive UNIT of a server has been legit perfect since before launch. I guess all these servers aren’t created equal or something.
