this is sooo embarrassing… guilds broken up, players quitting, players waiting on standby, bad press for a game mode which had (if you compare how every other new mode or feature in warcraft always gets called “the end of warcraft”) actually a good reception…
And the problem is, i really don’t think its 100% the devs problem, server balance on a PvE server (if the queues for BG’s are cross realm) is not a “Game Breaker”) so i guess they just got fire from other parts of the company, which don’t wants them to give out free transfers.
Even if its a internal fight and some Blizz employers actually trying to get what players ask for, the lack of communication is just really really unprecedentedly embarrassing.
Cheers for the most fun i had in all my adult age with a video game with SoD and took the air out with this sh**show.
blizzard could you please just make your decision, either if its closing or if there will be another chance. over 144 hours since last post for a ally chance on LF at 04:50 AM… last thursday. even if you decide to close it, then maybe give a chance for the leftovers to buy a transfer. you could open this feature for a 5 days for the last to actually getting over to their guilds/friends and all will be happy, i know its my own mistake for missing the 50 min gap there was but would be almost a win win for all cause you will make a little extra fast coins i know its not millions but still. and the leftovers could join their guilds/frinds a win win
I’m actually curious if there will be more content in SoD. Seeing the lack of response from legitimate reasoning and well-put questions it leaves me with the wonder if it’s over?
I too have the sadness in me seeing years of connecting with friends and building up guilds, while being obliterated due to a somewhat questionable attempt in evening out the ratio on realms.
As many others , there are a few of us in real life friends stuck on Crusader Strike with no info whatsoever if we even will be able to play together again.
I join the line of sadness in here. Dont wanna quit, but rather not play solo either.
Its still night in California and since the EU-Dudes here just reposted what the US-Guys wrote, you won’t hear from them for the next 6-8h anyway. But honestly, I doubt we’ll hear from them again before the weekend.
The last post was from 27th April:
“Hey everyone, there will not be any additional transfers opening up this weekend. We’re giving these moves time to bake and seeing how populations settle before making more decisions on Monday.”
Now it’s Friday and still no answer or decisions like or whether the transfers will continue or not.
I don’t know what this is all about and I’m really depressed and sad about how we’re being treated here.
My guild is dead by now and no one has the motivation to continue because everything seems so hope- and pointless.
I don’t understand why Blizzard doesn’t communicate with us, it doesn’t have to be an essay, but a few words would be nice about where the journey is going.
For example, a small post on this Monday said: “We’ll wait another whole week before we make any further decisions.”
This way everyone can adjust to it and know that they are not pointlessly trying every hour to see if the transfer is currently open
I know what is happening now. No one wants to play cata, so the suits told the devs they need to piss off as many SoD players as possible to try out the progression realms.
Seriously, just open the transfers… nobody cares if they can change to a PvE server which is balanced, and if you really don’t want unbalanced servers—if it’s really more important to you than having happy players—then force faction changes for those who want to transfer to immediately balance it.
At this point, we just want to have refuge and feel at home somewhere… I want to believe SoD will flow smoothly into classic+. Many of us do.
And maybe just for SoD, make an in-game voting system for things like war mode, implementing rated arena, or if the PvP damage reduction should be 50%, 20%, or 0%, with choices that are all within your frame of possibilities, so everyone is happy… or at least only pissed at the voting players, not you.
Just as a reminder: the reason people play Blizzard’s Classic instead of private servers is that their characters are in a safe place where Blizzard won’t mess with the infrastructure out of ignorance and greed towards the die-hard fans who appreciate the product quality they once delivered. But now, it seems that even this isn’t true. I won’t switch to a private server, but I would certainly feel safer there now, knowing that the time I’ve invested in the game won’t just be wasted one day due to absolute ignorance.
While presenting War Within the sentence “respecting the time behind the computer, not the character” was repeated multiple times, and you proofed this was just a nice headline for some new features, pure marketing.
Im sorry for the broken up guilds, friends who cant play together anymore and i feel especially sorry for the RP community and what has been done to their server in NA.
literally playing on a private server is far better than paying a sub for a sub-par result, SOD is fun but the quality went down after Phase1.
Ascension being a great example of a Private server that is maintained by gamers and not driven by greed and profit margins.
Y’all are gonna tell me that a private server is gonna screw up so badly that you could level up from 10 to 80 in one BG sitting, just like Cata Prelauch?
Clown fiesta. Gloriously opening transfers only to close them within 48 bloody hours because of some alleged faction imbalance. What? Who cares. Players being able to play where they want is far more important than a few world buff dispellers having the perfectly balanced dispelling sessions.
the hell are you talking about? ascension has many pay for convenience items in the shop for real money that you have to pay for again at the start of every season
I think it’s cus it doesnt work anymore. I can’t move anywhere from Living Flame. I dont care where I go, just fck off with the constant ganking and camping at incursions xD
