Doesnt this part of blue posts make u rage?

[Deleted]

Have you noticed how immature it is - in a world where people still starve to death - to cry about #1 world problems?


yeah right they could just hire you and the problem would be solved, right? thanks Ill prefer to wait a bit longer and get Blizz-Quality instead of EA-Quality
get Blizz-Quality instead
Blizz-Quality

atm this " Blizz-Quality" made the LFR/flex/raids/instances blown up as u cant even zone it. "we are aware of ur issue" hangs on login screen all the time recently, and that the " Blizz-Quality" u are reffering to?

the " Blizz-Quality" died long time ago. years back with games like diablo(1) starcraft and even begginig of wow, blizz trademark meant quality, but now?
diablo3 also has blizzard trademark, can u call that a quality product? they added most game fucntions via patches after release, cuz the date was set in stone and the product just wasnt ready, u call that quality?

Why does no one say anything about the seperated store art team? Why can't they integrate them to the main team?

[inboundpaper]

I actually hate posts bitching about the blues more. Like be happy they actually tell us something.

Personally i would be okay if they would skip one raid tier to implement moar transmog options!

So would I. More models/transmog stuff/achievements/mounts/pets/(class) quests...whatever.

[Avada Kedavra]

in a different thread that was the same topic (bitching about blizz and why they no do stuff) and someone said something that made total sense.

If you have 2 women, that does not make the pregnancy last 1/2 as long.

Throwing more devs at it is not going to make the difference you think it will.

[Ethes]

It doesn't matter why they say that they're not making certain content, people will complain.

Besides, it's quite a valid point.. A company has to make choices what to spend their recourses on, whether I agree with what that is/was is irrelevant as long as they create a properly sized expension/patch.

It does annoy me when the multi-billion dollar company pleads lack of resources. I mean doesn't Guild Wars 2 have fortnightly updates or something? Blizzard needs to be stepping things up to that sort of level.

As for the whole "any post Siege patches would cause WoD to come out later," so what? If WoD comes out in June with no content since SoO, that's 8 months without new content. If WoD comes out in August, with a patch in April that's only four months without new content.

Nah, they just don't care about WoW anymore. They try to take advantage of people's attachment to their characters (since most of the people playing now aren't new to the game) and just come up with 1 or 2 ideas for the new expansion to keep them playing. The answer "we either do this or this due to time/money issues" is a very lame answer.

That is bullshit. A company that doesn't care does far less than that.

Blizzard's long-used slogan "It's done when it's done." has been left behind several years. Although their games are still of high quality, it's not the same anymore.

this actually makes no-sense at all.
pergancy lasts 9 months in most cases. so the time period doesnt change. but with 2 women after 9 months u have atleast 2 kids, not one.
So even if we take that as an arguemnt and take it to wow, it means that after 9 months we would have 2x more content.

They do care. For their money that is.

[Shrouded]

It's the entire model Blizzard has built their game on. They keep stacking raid tier after raid tier on top of each other, content that is consumed within a few weeks after it is released, and then act surprised or defensive when people want them to dedicate resources to content that actually lasts longer. Maybe, just maybe, if content wasn't made to be obsoleted so quickly, their resources could be put to better use?

" same resources [...] less content for those other parts of the game"

Have u noticed how blizzard uses this at every single occasion? Doesnt it make u rage on how immature it is?

Any other company that has a set in stone date when they have to deliver thier products and lacks the resources to do it, does 1 of those 2:
1) notice thier client that this is impossible to do in this period of time. (setting new dates or loosing a client, depends how much the client is determinated about the dates)
2) hire more manpower to meet the requirements (keeps the client happy, generates lower income)

And what does blizz do in those situations?
"less content for those other parts of the game" = reduces the quality of the product, making it even more meh, this avoids them loosing the income value at the end, trying to milk the client while giving him some lame excusses.
There are many ppl that are looking for employment, talented, could do the job well. But taking them would mean less $$$ for blizzard (higher quality of product in this case means nothing).

Knowing those simple facts, i just boil inside everytime i see "less content for those other parts of the game (due to lack of resources)". Anyone working for more then 2 years already knows how things are on the jobsmarket, so who are they trying to fool? do they rly think that most of thier clients are teenagers?

Simple rule of thumb, everything can be done with 3 possiblities : done good, done fast, done cheap. But i should know that its always only 2 options out of 3 at same time. Above translates to blizzards line of production : done fast + done cheap = wont be good. (just take d3 as example).
Would u rather like the combo of "done fast + done good = wont be cheap"? (leaving the "overprice topic" alone)

Your expertise about business mechanics is
about on par with a cow trying to ride a bicycle.

So, to answer the question..... No it does not make me rage. Because I have a concept of "return and investment" principles.

Yeah. And back in TBC, people bitched about it to no ends.
It doesn't even matter what Blizzard does at the moment - people will complain.

[McNeil]

Am I see'ing this right... people are finally opening their eyes O.o?

[Wildtree]

The thing is, criticism is fine, and even welcomed. The bitching we read all the time isn't even criticism. It's just immature tantrums about minor content details the overwhelming majority usually doesn't give a flying fuck about.
Seen it a lot of times when posts over in the official forums have been thorough. Excellent worded. Lot's of sense and thought in it. And the Devs or CMs reaction to it was thankful.
But what we have 99.9% of the time are bitch posts that say essentially nothing else than "Blizzard sucks, because they don't give me a lollipop".

Cause that team is so small, it will not make a big difference.

Ya but they went a year with minimal releases, Now they are pouring out. They had alot of development time & than another year with minimal release to make more content.
