It’s definitely not a ‘me problem’ as I’m a slacker anyway, and for me it is entirely irrelevant whether M+ is active already or not
‘People like me’, which I’ll interpret as mostly world content players, are not the issue either, as Blizzard would most likely be waiting for quite a while if ever to finally see us set foot in Mythic+.
I can only conclude it’s aimed at ‘people like you’ who enjoy taking their time with the quests and events surrounding a new patch before diving back into M+ and raiding.
Lol nothing to do for months and then they give us nothing to do for another week. And why take our valorstones and crests this week if its still last weeks rewards? Cant even do mythic 0. Pointless timegating 2/10 so far
I agree. I genuinely thought we would get Season 2 m0 dungeons and be able to obtain some lower-end s2 gear this week from dungeons and delves. It was a huge disappointment when logging in to realize that the only things available were the story Q and the new zone. Big F to Blizz for this “transition period”. The Undermine zone looks amazing though.
Considering that many of my addons are not even working currently Im happy there is this downtime for addon creators to get up to speed. I dont even have working arena frames right now to see what am I facing.
Isn’t necessarily true. It depends on what type of player they are.
They might like taking it slow, but feel forced to rush because other players are doing it.
And in that case, they have much longer than a week to have to deal with that.
In comparison your issue doesn’t seem all that bad, does it?
You say 1 week like it’s nothing, it’s 1/4 of your (and mine) subscription wasted for absolutely no reason.
Season 2 was advertised for 25/02/2025 (1 day after in EU) and thus the content should be available right now. The items like Radiant Echoes, crests, etc are gone so we are in Season 2 already, except with no dungeons and no raid because xd.
It doesn’t depend on anything, the point is that regardless of personal prefferences some players have the option whereas other don’t, which by default is unfair, and then when you analyze the reason the rational conclusion is that not only it is unfair but also stupid.
You are speaking of a completely different issue here and I don’t wanna get into that territory. All I will say is that the world can’t be constructed exclusively for minorities.
Let slow players play slow and let fast players play fast, at the end of the day we all are paying our subscription and there is no justification for to favor no one.
Rushers have the option to start playing and paying later. The season timeline is always very public, and yet people always act like they couldn’t have known.
That’s such hyperbole, it’s silly.
You can do plenty of things during that 1 week.
No it wasn’t. Patch 11.1 was.
In fact it was clearly stated various times that season 2 wouldn’t start until a week after patch release - we had that information even before the patch release date was announced.
If you didn’t see that information or misinterpreted it; that’s a “you problem”.
Again the recurring “argument” of “if you don’t like it then don’t play it” or in this case “play later”…
Is there any reason that justifies delaying an entire week the content for the whole playerbase? No, period.
The game is already generous enough with catch-up mechanics, how people feel about it it’s their own problem, but don’t force your feelings into others and don’t pretend to change the world because of how you feel, that’s unrealistic and selfish.
If you have the right to take it slow, I have the right to rush the content.
Except yes, there is, period period. But there really is no point discussing it if you just keep ignoring it.
I don’t want to change or force anything, you’re the one complaining.
Why act so entitled over something so trivial? You don’t have a right to anything, and neither do I. We’re paying for a service and we know the terms. If I only wanted to play Number Increaser I would have subbed next week probably, but since I like World of Warcraft as a whole, I played on patch day. That’s all there is to it.
I’m not complaining, I didn’t make this topic nor I agree with the original poster.
I simply responded to a comment and I argumented why.
Entitled? For using my lawful right to criticize and express my opinion as a paying customer in a public forum?
And it’s not trivial we are talking about subscription time (money) which is the only thing between Blizzard and us. The moment they provide a bad service or stop providing, the contract is terminated. So yes it is VERY IMPORTANT.
Ok so you are a conformist customer who swallows whatever is thrown at you, that is respectable and I will avoid value judgments but I’m definitely on the other side of the spectrum on this.
Letting players enjoy the story and world content properly without feeling rushed to enter the grind machine. Which is important since statistically most players play a bit of everything. Were it the other way around, you would have those people complaining instead.
You’re talking of rights to rush, and you don’t have any more rights to an instant season than I have to a week of delay or an onion ice cream.
But as already noted, everybody is at their liberty to only sub when the season starts. We knew when that was going to be, how is it the game’s fault if people buy game time when they know their preferred content is not available yet?
I prefer to be called a shill, for the meme.
But really, all I’m saying is I can’t believe it’s such a big deal and that people should make informed purchases, instead of buying a lamp and then complain that it’s not a sofa.
World of Warcraft is an MMORPG, and as such the “world” and “rpg” parts are very important. The devs want to give people time to enjoy them. You might have a different preference, and voice it, but in the end the answer to that problem is still to buy later.
wish it was a weapon but wasnt that lucky
