This has gone on long enough. If Blizzard aren’t gonna take this season seriously then neither am I. I’ve cancelled my subscription until I see them actually do something about survival hunters currently unacceptable levels of performance. This has gone on for weeks and the players need to hear WHY you haven’t done anything about it. It doesn’t matter if you intend to do it or not, but keeping players waiting and expecting a change is just cruel.
You, not the players, promised to balance them so they would be equal in power. This promise has not been fulfilled and is the reason why survival players have been waiting every reset for the news that you will buff the set. I refuse to go along with this anymore. For me, this behaviour says more about your level of care towards this season than any words could.
We all know a perfect balance can never be achieved and that’s not what anybody is asking. But we are asking for the set to actually be impactful and USEFUL. You nerfed the S1 set to make us switch to the S2 set. Now we can’t equip it again and we’re in the same situation but reversed. You’re forcing us to stick to our earlier tier set by refusing to buff it.
There is only one word on my mind right now. Bullsh!t. What you’re doing and how you’re treating the players, with empty promises and complete apathy (You don’t even care enough to respond on the forums), is BULLSH!T.
And no, I wont be buying TWW either. I’m not gonna shill for a company that doesn’t even fix something as obviously easy as this.
If they cannot handle retail, remix and classic they need too step up there work we are all paying money
Its not excuseable how bad the balance for SV is
The main problem that they’re not working to satisfy player base, and this is not only blizzard fault, you can see this everywhere, most of companies don’t care about customers, except moments, when their wallet will start losing weight.
These people aren’t interest in this game and they don’t care, which code they need to write, if tomorrow managers will call them to delete surv spec they will execute this without any doubt, this is sad true and we should always keep it in mind
It’s honestly quite incredible. Honestly, I haven’t bought TWW yet and I’m not sure I even will at this point. It’s a bit of a joke watching the weeks roll by with nothing to show for it. Blizzard can’t be happy with the current state of things. Surely.
Decided to main hunter at the very end of WoD. Picked up the spear in Legion. Laid down the spear in DF season 4. After some troublesome, yet really fun years, my hunter will venture on a long journey, destination unkown.
The fact they haven’t buffed the S4 survival tier set, shows they don’t care.
At this point, I don’t think we will even see any hunter changes in TWW.
Been having a blast with sv. I only returned to wow in legion bc of the changes made. While the spec haven’t had a terrible free journey since, I have had lots of fun due to how it feels to play most if the time.
DF had been as fun but also quite frustrating, each season tilting this way and that. There seems to be a design issue regarding wildfire bomb vs mongoose strike: which one Blizzard want us to do damage with. An over abundance of focus as so much of it damage don’t cost focus which makes mastery useless etc.
I remember how they left sv in SL which left us pretty awesome in aoe damage due to 2x Lego and set bonus. Mind you that sv didn’t become op as it didn’t show up in MDI (as low bar for high damage alone don’t make it a MDI candidate).
It would seem Blizzard is doing the exact same thing again now as they did in SL. They leave us do a replay of the XP in s4 while they focus on other things (next XP, classic?).
This time they left us in a bad spot. The same way things played it for all specs in SL. You either seem to get “lucky” the rest of XP or “unlucky” even if how to “fix it” don’t seem nearly as hard as it did at the start of the XP. All XP ideas have played out by now so this is it and tweaking numbers don’t screw up coming plans.
I honestly have no idea how they are fine with this way of handling their game that we pay to play. I’m not naive to how the gaming industry has changed since the 90’s 00’s . It’s all very much more cynic now. But the guys who made this game, moved in time to this year, would most def hate how it all ended up in… this.
I tried playing s4 even though I feared it would end up like this again. Now I log once a week to unlock some skin by doing it for dublion thingie.
Blizzard’s actions conveys with a roar this XP is very much over while throwing mop and s4 as a “look at the monkey”.
I’d love to play and while I won’t cancel sub, I won’t play much at all. Summer time is great ,though, for a break
What bothers me so much about this whole situation is that it could’ve been avoided by simply taking the time to write a simple message to the players. Before the launch of MoP remix just a “We won’t be making anymore changes in retail.” would have been enough. It would suck but atleast I wouldn’t go around hoping for a buff.
Unless, of course… they actually think that survival hunter is in a good state for this season. Which is even worse… It’s this feeling that everything happens according to their wims rather than an actual laid out plan that makes me feel that subscribing isn’t worth it anymore. If I was working at Blizzard, I would be embarrased at how this “season” is going. It’s an actual joke. Fated brought some new fun stuff. I can’t believe that Shadowlands is going to end BETTER than Dragonflight…
There doesn’t seem to be any geniune player contact from the devs about the very REAL issues concerning the class. Not a single response on the feedback. Not even a “We are reading this!” Nothing. It’s so disheartening. I thought an Alpha and Feedback meant that you wanted opinions to change things. Pack Leader, Sentinel and Dark Ranger has been a laughing stock since they came out. Has there been any changes despite several 100’s of pages of Feedback? Nope. Not even a response.
None of the contact with this company feels genuine. It feels as if they aren’t allowed to respond to anything unless it’s approved by management. I can’t remember Hunter being in a worse state than it is now and that doesn’t even warrant a response…
Just got back from vacation and was excited to try the kit with the new buffs. It is still garbage. What are you even doing at this point Blizzard? I am still doing more single target with S3 and I have almost have a full S4-set in ilvl 522.
Are you afraid it’s gonna overperform? It’s laughable how much time there has been to fix this set bonus and this was the result… This season is still a joke and you’ve changed nothing. Unless the hunter changes coming to beta next weak are really good, i won’t be resubscribing.
I still believe that after these “buffs”, Survival hunter still deserve a response. Why has the season been handled so poorly and why did it take so long to give survival hunter any attention? If Blizzard wants survival hunter to actually have a playerbase, they need take it more seriously. I won’t be surprised if this season combined with the uninspired hero talents has put survival hunter at an all time low.
Just tried the new rework in beta and the hero talents make a lot more sense now. Wish they had made a little post about how a hunter rework was planned and the hero talents are made with those in mind.
S4 is still embarrasing but with these changes for TWW, I have to say, the future for hunter is looking pretty good. It’s too bad that it seems to come at the cost of us who want to play survival right now but this makes it more understandable. Why bother with balancing the spec as it is now if you’re gonna scrap the whole thing anyway in a few months.
