Your patch content is... a different game

Ya, I sure want to play a completely different genre in the MMO I signed up for. Cool.

They’ve been tired of having to support an MMO that needs continuity for many expansions. How else could you explain easy-to-fix bugs that have been in the game since Cata?

What developers would like to do is to create an entirely new game every time they have to develop a new expansion, not having to worry about what they’re creating now would do to something that still exists in some past expansion. At this point they’d like is to forget about the world entirely and turn the game into a competitive lobby game. That would lose them a lot of players who aren’t into that, so they still do some lip service toward the appearance of giving them content. But they haven’t given up on the idea that casuals and solo players can be turned into competitive players - or at least get them into lower difficulty versions of competitive content to boost participation numbers they can report - by giving them no choice.

I am skeptical that increasing the difficulty of heroic dungeons, which are actually really popular, to that of mythic 0 is going to get more players onto the hamsterwheel of grinding endlessly for gear and upgrades than it will turn off. I found the idea of having to grind out hundreds of tiny incremental upgrades to be a total turnoff.

So many stipulations and self made rules to how you think others should/are playing.

Rewards have to be worth collecting to even care about them

But this is what the players wanted. M0 to be queued content. Viola

I also have a “collector problem”. I also wasted time parked at the hearthstone event farming a belt and hat mog I probably will never use. I very much understand the need of collectors to do unnecessary things because of the “itch”.

But I dont blame blizzard for how I like to play the game and expect them to work around me and my needs because it makes the game worse for everyone and sets a ridiculous standard for how blizzard must do things. If you want the reward do the prerequisite, just like everything else in the game.

You need to be shipped off to a reeducation camp in my opinion.

You can’t even talk to the people in your guild while you do this too.

To me it was sometrhing I thought was cool and I got a hat (that I might use) and a mound and a pet (I will probably never use)

Not a big hearthstone player myself but to be honest I think it would of been cool that any card you got in the event showed up in a plaers collection if they also play Hearthstone.

I, for one, am glad I don’t suffer from FOMO or feel the need to hoard everything.

Maybe thats why it was a secret

I am pretty disapointed. I am very attached to my main and wanted to actually play my character. I am also not into fortnite at all.

At the same time I am questioning why I feel this way. I haven’t even tried it yet. It could be a blast. Who knows.

This should have not been marketed as a patch for retail.

Blizz needs to hire op

I am definently disappointed with this patch.

I dont pvp, like at all and when i do i do it for transmog sets…

You understand that the gamemode is not going to have us entering with our own characters, right?

Like…no class toolkits, no pvp ilvl, no chain CC/stuns and it will be unlike any regular form of WoW PVP you have ever, ever experienced?

THANK YOU.

i get ppl are hyped for something new but this is just a different game with a wow skin on it to attract in wow players. like how hots was a new game to bring in all the blizzard fans. the game could be great but what does it actually have to do with wow mmo? NOTHING.

all the secrecy for a wow patch and turns out it’s just another game, separate from the actual wow mmo game. couldve spent all this time working on something cool for fated season instead we get another game for us to beta test for them. yay…

Compulsory.

I use the word Compulsory. It means that I feel pressured to do things I probably won’t enjoy, to get the things that I want. It’s a bit more accurate, to me.

Still not sure if I’ll be doing the event, but they did say that the first few minutes of each round is spent doing PvE against monsters, while collecting spells and stuff, and not spent doing PvP.

My guess is it’s more 1 than 2. But either way. Just let them continue to look stupid by taking a literal definition and applying it to a nuanced statement. Because they are still doing it. Which means no amount of explanation will satisfy them. Move on with your life knowing they are dumb and you get to be the satisfied one :slight_smile:

OP, not sure why they thought it was worth putting effort and time into unless they wanted to test some delves tech in this. Other wise it is clear this team is really out of touch and out of ideas on how to expand and make this game enjoyable, lively.

funny part is that if they even listened to a fraction of the community, there wouldve been some easy wins. player housing is an extremely popular and wanted feature (idgaf about it but ppl seem to like it), a NEW twist on the fated season wouldve gone over well, improvement on solo queue.

but nah, heres wow fortnite.
