It is especially appaling that more and more class abilities are affected. The devs used to fix bugged class abilities rather quickly, because they affect gameplay the most. But apparently they laid off their entire QA department over the last couple years.
And with Undermine(d) they unnecessarily changed how makros and the spell book work. It has become almost impossible to make some abilities work properly. Especially some abilities that are used in PvP (e.g. hunters Master’s Call). Some of them broke completely in the process (Bloodlust/Heroism affected by Shamanism PvP talent).
Today I tried to make a Shamanism makro work for arena/bgs and the process made me so mad I almost logged out. I eventually gave up, because I couldn’t get a single makro to work properly. Sometimes even the spell itself doesn’t work.
But I heard that not only PvP is affected, but PvE as well.
It is ironic that they are trying to make the game more accessible for casuals and new players with a 1-button rotation ability, but can’t even get baseline spells to work properly.
I have played this game for almost 20 years. Do you think a new player would spend ~1 hour testing different makros, search via google, visit third party websites and the discord class channel just to get ONE ability to work (in vain)?
With all due respect but why should they fix anything? People keep playing and paying for sub, still buying every new expansion every new toy ,mount or transmog in the cash shop.
you see what shadowebola is saying here?
thats the reality check there.
wow players are keep buying and paying day and night even the game is full of problems and broken bugs AND INSTEAD OF DOING MASSIVE UNSUB AND TRYING TO TALK TO BLIZZARD ABOUT THESE HUGE PROBLEMS.
they come here and starts fighting each others.
i know that pve part of the game is bad as Darkness of the sky in night but PVP is bad as pve too.
yesterday i went to epic bgs.
all i was was a group of pvp premade coming to random bgs and destroying random players 50 times in row everyday and all of those random players were fighting eachother insulting their team and ect…
INSTEAD OF TALKING TO BLIZZARD AS A MASSIVE GROUP OF PLAYERS FOR THIS MESS IN PVP MATCHMAKING.
Operation mechagon last boss , sparks flew without ground ques after magnetic grapple was cast .
And the sad part is blizzards shjithole dev team do this knowingly , the game’s difficulty is only in catching the player by surprise or distracting them , they will never stop with these subtle annoying out of the blue garbage
I think I’ve been pretty lucky with not coming across any real game breaking bugs when I’ve played on all my characters. I’ve probably only ever had disconnection issues, when it affects everyone else.
But I do know they need to get their bug fixing process sped up. It’s the downside of them firing the majority of their work force many years ago.
This is the problem. They release brutosaur store mount and everyone goes crazy flooding them money. And then token money. Why fix bugs when money keeps pouring in
See? Even if few thousand people quit , blizzard will put new toy ,mount ot transmog in the cash shop and most will buy it. This way they will triple the money they got from people that left already.
Has anyone noticed the toxic green walls in Black Temple (very obviously a bug)? And I just saw this same “green walls” bug on Hellfire Peninsula. Obviously nothing that impacts gameplay, but it shows how little attention they pay these days
if the last boss at operation mechagon , the sparks flying even after magnetic grapple is cast is a bug or not idk , its definetly intended and only apparent after +13s , but the sparks flying out without ground ques is definetly a bug, and only recently blizzard is showing proper ground ques , before that it was all lightly coloured no border aoes , you have to die and wipe a few times before you learn the boundaries of that aoe, and those still exist in theater of pain at the first boss , the frontal has no limit to how far it can hit you , if they really wanted they could have shown you the real limits of that aoe but NO!
I’ve never played a game that didn’t have bugs, even pong glitched and I’ve been playing since then. Can they do better, yes, but as long as the fun i have outweighs everything i don’t really care.
People went on about the bug for the nightfall event, I was done in a few days with rep, gear and mounts.
