"The Spear of Rethu polearm now scales properly from character level 1 to 100, now properly appears in the heirloom list, and is now correctly a 2-handed weapon."

LMFAO.

This was noted since fucking ALPHA that it was a 1-handed polearm, there was multiple threads about it throughout alpha and beta, and it took until after it went live for them to fix it?

How does this happen?

[KayRule]

How does what happen? That a low-priority thing that doesn't really affect anything in current content didn't get fixed as fast as other things?

I dunno...reality happened?

There was blue topics specifically for professions in the Alpha/beta forums and people pointed it out so many times, made so many threads, that by the time it came out live with still no comment (till a week AFTER it was available) made everyone assume it was supposed to be 1-handed.

Now that they say that wasn't there intention, that it is supposed to be "correctly" a 2 hander, it's a joke.

[FelPlague]

yes. it was suppose to be a 1 handed polearm...
like all those 1 handed staves
2 handed wands
1 handed guns, bows, crossbows
2 handed daggers
2 handed offhands
2 handed shields

aww yeah man...

no it was odviously something off their radar that they were too busy doing other things to notice, or be able to spend the time on

They don't actually listen to feed back despite what the people on this forum claim while yelling BETA IS BETA!

You probably do not work in the software engineering industry. Bugs have priority. They are probably were working on more important things like partially completed feature. Stability bugs. Performance bugs. Etc. A broken weapon would be further down the list and now they have the time fix it.

[Snackwiches]

Well, it probably takes three or four dozen people to spin the "LOL RANDOM WHEEL OF NERF", which is probably made of stone or something. Not a lot of staff left over to do anything constructive.

[MrKnubbles]

I thought it was supposed to be a 1h Polearm... maybe they realized how few classes could actually utilize the weapon. Um... Monk.

[babalou1]

It wasnt on their "care to do list" until people started to obtain it on Live and started to PVP with it in the lower level brackets. Not to mention soloing leveling dungeons.

lol... i presume you have quit the game for months if not years, but just like to stick around to tell people how much better you are because you quit?
sure sounds like your a salty "know it all"

No, you see specific feedback not getting the attention you feel it should, while ignoring what does get changed because of it.
Some things do get missed, some things are low priority, and some things are less simple changes than we like to believe.
There can be a variety of reasons why a given issue is resolved later than others.

[Sunlighthell]

Sweet souls trait bug reported since alpha and they continue to ignore this game breaking bug, and you surprised that some meaningless polearm bug made it to live?

I don't think priests and locks are low priority, but thanks for defending them some more as usual for this forum.

ive allways wished we had a class use litterally just used a shield for their tank spec, like braum from league of legends, was thinking the blood death knight would have that, like cover its shield in blood, bone, and ice

Yeah. After 9 months in alpha/beta. Go ahead and defend them more though becuase you dont have a fucking clue what you're even talking about

[FelPlague]

yes because a heirloom being broken was top priority in a beta/alpha filled with bugs...

[Traveler Voltin]

Fun detected and nerfed.

[Sansnom]

It sounds like you hate them, if so, why are you still supporting their product?
