Wow. Even shills are quitting.
They’re sure to blame too. For not firing Ion, Danuser, etc…
Well that’s what happens when you defend clearly stupid decisions of blizzard.
People defended covenant choices being locked (although small minority, that’s true) and it was disaster. Etc. etc. etc.
Are you for real?!
Are you suggesting that it is my fault that Shadowlands has turned out the way it has?!
I’m not even going to attempt to try and engage in this level of stupid.
Have a nice day.
I was out on my Shaman the other day and I saw this job offer that reminded me of …
Again you assume too much who I blame and why. I am not blaming Golden for this, I don’t think she can write video games well but I don’t she is to blame. I don’t blame the grunt devs that had to do crunch hours for this. I am blaming Ion because at the end of the day the buck stops with him, management can have mandates sure, but Ion is making the decisions what goes into the game and what doesn’t, I explained in excruciating detail in the previous post how those decisions are bad and how if not good we could have gotten something more tolerable. Management did not tell Ion to split his content 4 ways, management did not tell Denuser to retcon the lore etc. I am blaming the lead people that are making decisions, people who you have convinced yourself to be one of the grunts because you know their names, they aren’t grunts. Once 10.0 is garbage (yet again) because of top notch decisions like covena… oh I’m sorry I meant the “meaningful choice”, I’m sure you will find another excuse for these guys (and gals).
Just keep them walking.
And pls pls pls hope ThE WaTCher walks away too.
Tbh, I like most of the films (less said about Fantastic Four the better)…I’m used to Marvel and DC story inconsistency, since back in the day I’m convinced the local Corner shops, used to stock comics based purely on the cover art of the latest issue…so many story lines ruined because they stopped being stocked, two or three issues into a story…So, I switched to 2000AD, never looked back: ‘Credo!’
There’s a queue of Karens round the block, wanting to make a complaint…they heard you work for an organisation…or were seen near one.
Yep, I actually had a Karen want to take my details, because I was listening to her ranting in a Bar, about the security politely requesting her to leave, because she was staggering drunk (I was a patron, not an employee) and she decided she ‘didn’t like the expression on my face’…Karens can get in the sea.
Most Karen’s dont have equipment to level MacDonalds or any other facilities or HQs to rubble during night time. From miles away.
The buck doesn’t really stop with him.
If you look at the credits section of WoW, then there’s a name above Ion Hazzikostas. It’s John Height.
And the WoW team makes up for ~300 people in a company with close to 5000!
Ion doesn’t really direct the course of the ship. He’s very dependent on other teams and upper management at Blizzard to enable his team to make an expansion.
He definitely takes responsibility, and I’ll throw quite a bit on his shoulders as well. But the lion’s share of Blizzard’s problems don’t lie with Ion Hazzikostas. They’re way beyond the WoW team alone.
It’s fair enough to bash the WoW designers – and Ion certainly qualifies as that – because you don’t like the Covenant system or the Domination sockets or whatever.
But that’s not the root cause for Blizzard’s current struggles as a company.
If the problem was simply that Blizzard’s WoW designers are crap at making compelling gameplay systems, then the solution would be so straight-forward that even people on the forums can figure it out.
But it’s not.
And that was my point. And why I think it’s silly that players are having a go at Josh Allen as if the Community Manager is the reason for Shadowlands being crap and Blizzard being a mess.
Now you’re just smearing me and that’s rather immature of you.
You’re still here, so you seemingly find excuses to justify sticking around as well, despite all your criticism.
Let’s be reasonable and acknowledge that we don’t enjoy Shadowlands and we’re probably all on the fence about the future of the game.
And if you end up thinking that 10.0 looks decent and worth playing, then isn’t that just great? That’s what we’re hoping for, isn’t it? That Blizzard can turn this disaster around and make something that we look at and go: “I think this looks promising!”
If you’re already painting the devil on the wall, then you might as well unsubscribe and delete your account and forget all about WoW, because why still stick around if you don’t even have the slightest hope for the future?
And it’s not like we have to agree on everything. I can enjoy something in the game you don’t enjoy, and then it just sucks to be you. And vice versa. The notion that some design you don’t like is objectively bad and therefore I’m in the wrong is ridiculous.
Blizzard will always come short of pleasing everyone with anything. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t aim to do better, but it does mean that better for you isn’t necessarily better for others.
And neither do you, so what’s your point?
Yeah I came back because I got gifted a 2 month game card with the words “suffer well” written on it by a friend XD.
So…18 years and $billions ago?
Welp, I for one, am astounded Blizz didn’t listen…Oh, wait…
Two things.
Your post history shows that you’ve posted daily for ages. So you haven’t just come back.
And you could have chosen to put it in your drawer and save it for another time.
But you didn’t.
You’re here, you’re a regular, welcome to the club.
But it’s besides the point.
My point was just to say that I personally don’t like Shadowlands. I don’t like what Blizzard are presenting for the rest of the journey. And I don’t really intend on playing it much longer.
And if I have enjoyed parts of the expansion early on - and I have - then I don’t see how that makes me a shill for saying that those parts were nice, and I don’t see why I cannot later feel that the complete product is a dissapointment that didn’t make for a fulfilling experience.
So don’t give me crap about my position on the game when you’re sitting here gleefully consuming the product you seem to have bundles of criticism for yourself. You don’t have a moral highground here.
But my subscription is lapsing in a few weeks and you say you’ve got less than 2 months, so I suppose we’re both moving toward the exit and saying bye to Shadowlands, yeah? Or can I find you posting on the forums in another 2 months?
Neither do you.
I fail to see how I have posted daily with no sub. The last time I was playing was sometime december.
Why would I do that if I’m 99% sure that I won’t be coming back for 10.0.
As to why I chose to activate it now? Easy final chapter of the final chapter of the $#17show is out today, which means I can go and experience the embarement first hand without time gates, deleting the game again next and and will probably only hang out on the forums, not the first time I have done that really.
That’s strange because when my subscription runs out I always lose access to the forums shortly after.
I certainly have never had unrestricted access months after my subscription had run out.
I’d be curious to see the transaction history of people who claim to have this wonderful gift bestowed upon them, because it always seems so very convenient.
I don’t like WoW!
So why do you pay for it?
I don’t!
So how are you still here?
Magic!
Sure…
I struggle to understand why someone would even be here at all if they’re 99% sure that they’re done with WoW.
I barely play the game, I barely post on the forums. What little I do hinges entirely upon the fact that I am slightly curious about the prospect of the next expansion.
If I were 99% certain that I wasn’t even going to bother with the next expansion, I can’t see why I would give a hoot about WoW or Blizzard at all. But to each his own, I guess.
To talk about a game you don’t like, no longer play, and don’t intend to play?
Such interesting contributions you’ll make to the discussions. Black on black!
Anyway, I’m off. Nice chat. Very off-topic, but nonetheless quaint.
Ok I looked my post history. Before yesterday my last post was feb 2, which would be more or less when my game time would have ran out, like I mentioned before I like hanging out on the forums even though I do not play the game. I still fail to see how I have posted daily when there is is a ~2 month gap.
The forums are entertaining.
Yeah pretty much. Discussing a train wreck is morbidly fun.
I see what you did there…
Dang Velf Warlocks and their tricksy ‘Mind Control’!
You get the achievement today but there’s a final part next week, presumably to close the storyline.
Yeah the sylvanas cringe. I am ready for it.
