It’s over a year since Dragonfang was launched now. And it’s not much less since people started complaining that the server was dead/dying (there is atleast a thread from october last year). If you have enough people to do the scepter questline, and for AQ, you could easily have farmed the necessary materials if you wanted to. The simple fact is, you couldn’t be bothered, and now you are getting a slight delay due to an apparent bug. You still have access to exactly what you are paying for.
On many servers some of the hand ins were completed before people had the chance to log in on launch day. Unlike those people, you will eventually be able to access all the content in the game. You will also most likely have more C’thun kills than most top vanilla guilds by the time Naxxramas is released.
Out of curiousity, which broken promises and lies have killed Dragonfang? I was well aware that there was a risk of ending up on a dead server when I used the free transfer back in September.
So even on a server with an abundance of mobs you did it slower than the single layer overpopulated Earthshaker server where 5 or more people could be standing in the same spot fighting to tag a single mob on respawn due to the lack of mobs. Is that supposed to be impressive?
I dont know if you are purposely missing the point here or not but either way:
The complaints are coming now as we are now missing out on content, as by announcing an auto-complete function and therefore timeline they have basically given a release date for the content, that will not be met therefore the thread
There was many threads previously asking for consideration of things such as proportional hand-in requirements to population or a set-date for auto open. They announced a ticking autocomplete function and most excepted that, whether they transferred or decided to wait, for those who stayed excepted the delay
Yes, i agree always a risk of ending on a dead server when transferring BUT when you are told ‘Layering will be gone by phase 2’ ‘There can only be one Lord kazzak’ etc, and then they bring back layering rather than properly manage server caps (i know this all stems back to pre-launch with like 3 servers lul) But i would call these lies and broken promises
Also not boasting abt the scepter quest, i experienced the grind on Geheness as well, but the truth is on DF the scarab rep grind was done mostly by 4 players, and event boss and event boss events were done with 10-20 people, im just saying we did our part of the deal we jsut want blizzard to hold up their end of the bargain
That all being said i really dont understand why you are defending something that is clearly broken, once again we are simply asking blizzard to deliver on something they have promised
I believe you are missing the point aswell: Claiming you don’t get what you are paying for won’t get blizzard’s attention, it never has. You are getting exactly what you are paying for according to the agreement you have with blizzard. I have never seen them reply to a post claiming otherwise, and I doubt we ever will.
How has that killed Dragonfang? People complained about dragonfang being dead before layers were reintroduced, and before the last round of free transfers.
You’ll have a much better chance getting a reply by creating an ingame ticket, even though it will take some time. Blizzard can’t even be bothered copy-pasting their hotfix thread from the US forums to the EU forums.
Well, creating an ingame ticket doesn’t help at all.
The GMs just respond with false information and “please use the report a bug function”
How do I know that? I tried this way as well.
Nice to see you got some sort of response that they are looking into it.
Hope they are not just checking for Celebras.
I’ve done some bug reports myself.
And also got a decent ticket response yesterday. It said he’ll pass the information about the bugged autocomplete on for investigation and verification.
Hopefully we’ll hear more soon. Would be nice to get a blue post about it on this forum too.
I don’t know what its been like on the other servers that haven’t have opened.
But on Dragonfang basicly we were always low pop, but we also have a bit of fluctuation with guilds coming and going to our server. Making it harder to prefarm everything.
On top of that in the months before AQ patch we tried to farm as much as possible, some of us like myself farming 12-14 hours a day every day for the war effort for a month and a half.
But alot of people still decided that it would just be easier to transfer to a bigger server where they can just chill and barely have to do anything for it.
So we are now left with a small population of people who play very casually(raidlog) / are alts from people who play on other servers / are ranking.
Basicly the people who are currently on dragonfang don’t have the time or willpower to farm.
If I want to farm the remaining mats by myself with the current time I have it would take me about 103 days.
I have been waiting with my scepter to bang the gong for 8 weeks now.
As of today, its been 2 weeks of the already delayed autocomplete being bugged without a word.
Counting the first bug where the entire autocomplete was bugged and didn’t work at all. And now this bug where only specific items, the gates should have been open on every realm. But we are stuck on 53%.
Its caught me of guard myself how much time this is taken to have something done about a pretty obvious and blatent bug that effects entire servers is allowed to roam Classic.
I tend to give blizzard alot of slack most of the time but my frustration is pretty huge right now.
Classic legit feels like its completely abandoned right now. I can only imagine if it takes this long to do something about a pretty important thing that is broken, how much is actually is being done about the smaller things that people are complaining about. Getting communication and feedback from blizzard is pretty much non existent. I miss the times where there were ingame GM’s etc.
Bug has been going on for 16-17 days as far as I know.
I have been making tickets ingame to try and contact Blizzard.
And the last message I got was:
My name is Tech Specialist Game Master Thomas M. Thanks for reaching out to us on this bug issue. I checked this out and it looks like the problem has made it up to the Development team. It is in the works, but not yet resolved.
cuz I was thinking about rolling there
