Warlords of Draenor Alpha Patch Notes Update - Jun 13, Recent Bloody Coins Hotfixes

[kubasniak]

Don't like the changes? Don't play the game. Easy as hell. Stop whining about pruning, because that's the way to save this game. Too many buttons now.

Jump ship, because this boat is sinking.
Looks like Blizzard has almost fully converted to the EA mindset.

[Tenjen]

everyone keeps thinking from an MoP and before mindset concerning changes. Not realising how things will be in WoD and how the chances will fit well for them in the expansion.

[ApeDosMil]

Why are people so surprised that active mitigation abilities that were used on cooldown are going passive baseline? Oh wait, I was the only one that saw that? Bye bye barkskin. You will not be missed. The only druid changes I am concerned about are feral's switch to crit from years of being mastery and the dynamic travel form. I can imagine no more flight form from the ground, though I usually jumped for dramatic effect anyways.

Also: Good riddance to scare beast and hibernate both. One was a fear that was only usable on Feral and Guardian druids, and other hunter pets.
Hibernate was so situational it was hardly useful. Just the occasional "Oh crap, we have a dragon elite that needs CCing? Yusss." It was in our spellbooks and never mapped.
Pvp uses of it were limited to the same as scare beast.

God, Blizzard are so determined to kill fun, aren't they?

I wonder why all active mana regeneration systems are being removed from game.

Feel really sorry for druids/shamans/priests

now scare liek fuck what they will do to monks really afraid while waiting for notes

when they were removing talent trees that was dumbing game down like hell - and now this ? wtf will be left - time to look for a nice private server i guess feel bad for game really

and honestly if they were planing this for longer time and only releasing this now no wonder why Ghostcrawler left - whatever leftovers will survive this purge ot wont be same game ever again

Why the fuck are you sorry?

I have played my Shaman since TBC and I am super excited.

Removing the talent tree did NOT AT ALL dumb down the game, it actually gave me choice, as a Resto Shaman I had 3 points out of 61 that where not mandatory which meant I could have 2% crit or instant ghost wolf, that was it THAT WAS ALL I COULD CHOOSE BETWEEN every single other point was mandatory.

In MoP I change talents all the time based on play style and situation.

Are you one of these people that think you need 9,000 buttons for a game to be complicated?

There is a massive difference between complicated and bloated, you CLEARLY do not understand this.

[Die Hard]

This looks more and more like they are getting ready for console release of WoW, pathetic.

[Deleted]

Its harsh to accept, but druids needed bringing back into line, they were far too versatile. Now each druid spec can be more like every other spec in the game, which is what blizz want anyway.

[Saberstrike]

Wizards whining about having to STAND and CAST?

K.

I play warrior, waa waa why do I still need to be in range to hit you?

Weird changes are weird. Admittedly as a warrior I really hope shamans are ruined and burried. Enough is ooking enough. *points at 1.5million burst dps* Bad class. That's MY job. MINE! >: (

[Deleted]

blood strike and necrotic strike gone finally kinda useless ability's.

[Djaye]

sounds a lot like the perfect time to never play WoW again

that is funny, i was totally just thinking the exact same thing. All these changes wreak of EA's clueless game 'evolution' that generally just turns games to shit.

[Super Kami Dende]

It makes me laugh all these people saying "REMOVING ABILITIES, MAKING THE GAME FOR NOOBS HURRR DURR"

The game even with these changes still has more spells than TBC which pretty much every spastic that hates on WoW calls the "pinnacle" of WoW and how pro it was back then.

Though I guess morons will be morons, can't expect any different from this community.

This is true except for the part where it's not true at all. There will be less skills available to most classes than there were during the days of classic WoW. There is no way you can argue this, especially in the case of druids.

P.S. - The pinnacle of WoW was Ulduar.

Internet has been removed.
Internet is now only available for warlocks. UPDATE: Internet is only available for porn and Warlocks

Actually it is true and the changes for druids and most the Hybrid classes are making it so they have the abilities their SPECS should have not every ability every spec the entire class has.
I can argue it quite well since even after looking at all the moves that have been removed I still have more keybinds per spec than I did per a whole class in TBC.
But as usual people will bitch because they have some asinine need to complain about every single thing, in a game they claim to hate, on a site dedicated to said game.

If you don't like the game why not just...fuck off? Since there has to be some sort of mental issue in people that feel the need to hang around and constantly stay involved with something they hate.

Yes, there were more skills, such as Amplify Magic, Dampen Magic, Frost Ward, Fire Ward, Arcane Ward. They were heavily used.... not. Rotations for most if not all classes were much simpler than they are now and even simpler than they will be in WoD.

This is a good change. Watching for 10 cooldowns/procs and praying to RNG gods to line up procs for big bada boom cooldown doesn't make it a fun game play.

I know it's hard for someone with a brain damage to understand what I'm saying, so let's go through this step-by-step shall we?

I was replying to this. You see, when Blizzard says: "Entangling Roots is now available only to Balance and Restoration Druids." this means it is removing that skill from the other two specs, Guardian and Feral. This means as that spec, you have one less button than you otherwise would have prior to this change, which would be TBC.

Furthermore, when Blizzard says: "Hibernate has been removed." this means that this spell is no longer available to any spec of druids, which would make the druid have less skills than they did in TBC.

Hopefully this clears things up for you and the concept of arithmetic hasn't strained your very obviously damaged brain too badly.

The only reason you may excuse yourself from fuck off is that you actually like this game? You can't stand people talk bad about WoW? hmm..then you better fuck off because you behave like a watchdog of Blizzard. It seems like you are restricting negative posts to changes as well. Fanboys are always fanboys, yeah.

[enchanted]

I still think they will add at least one strike back. About NS, I always thought it was a bad mechanic.. remember when diseases could remove hots? Too clunky to balance.

Wait what? Frost strike removed? :O wonder how DW will work now...

[Fuhok]

The only druid changes I am concerned about are feral's switch to crit from years of being mastery and the dynamic travel form. I can imagine no more flight form from the ground, though I usually jumped for dramatic effect anyways.

I think the way it will work is that if you're in an area that has no flying, you'll go into travel form. If you are in an area that you can fly in, you'll go flight form. And if you're swimming, you'll go aquatic form. So all three forms can be used, just will depend on where you are. If you're in MoP lands but don't have the MoP flying, you'll go travel form. Once you get the flying there, you'll be able to go flight form. And with WoD having no flying, you'll be travel forming it most times

At least, that's how I think it will work.
