    Blue being a smartass?

    As seen from this,

    http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/1...usly-time-skip

    This blue seems to be being a smartass in my opinion. It's not like the answer to the question is meant to be kept classified by blizzard. I have a feeling that if it were any other blue, they would have gotten a proper response. I've seen his other posts and from what I gather, they aren't much more helpful in other threads as well.

    Is this a case of a blue being a smartass or me just being paranoid?

    Yes, he was being a smartass. Inconsiderate, given that we pay $15/mo to play. He wouldn't be on my stafff..

    1.) He clearly couldn't resist making a reference to a classic piece of media. (See Rocky Horror Motion Picture Show- Time Warp)
    2.) He was joking
    3.) The question really didn't require that serious a reply, it's kind of assumed that we all accept a certain level of suspension of disbelief when it comes to the limitations on implementing events and time lines in an MMO
    4.) It was sort of already answered in an interview that is transcribed on the MMO-Champ front page:
    "How is The Shattering going to happen? Should we expect an epic ending to the pre-Cataclysm event and elemental invasions?
    TC: The culmination, we're already at the final stage of the event that builds up to The Shattering. The final "event" is the in-game cinematic. And that's really what the transition is for players, that players will play through this event that's building up and then at some point... just because of the realities of the code, we have to flip a switch.

    So we're going to be doing that during maintenance when The Shattering happens, and so when players log back in for the first time, it's a very small patch for players, and be introduced to the cinematic. That's suppose to be what happened while you were asleep. Conceptually, this is what just happened while you weren't controlling your character."

    It's Bashiok. Him being a smartass is like gravity keeping us on the planet.

    It's just how things work and the world would be far worse off without it, even if some don't acknowledge it.

    They say its the pelvic thrust that really drives them insane. Apparently just a seemingly misplaced post can: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ff0cOPSpVA

    I must say, I lol'd.

    Plus, the question has been answered on numerous occasions. It's not like it's some huge secret.

    It sounds more like he's being silly than being a smartass.

    And the Shattering happens while we're ... probably sleeping tonight. I'm not sure why it has to be a leap of months for RPers. (clearly I'm missing something) I'd think the time before Dec 7th is enough to ramp up the RP stories to keep up with what's going on, though it'll take dedication, time, and flexibility.

    I'd think RPers would be excited for the chance for some improv; the Shattering and the release of the expansion seem like an amazing opportunity for anyone who can swing some really good improv.

    That response was epic. People need to stop taking things so seriously, it's a game. Keep in mind, that the blue's had every right to not reply at all, such as is done so many times on similar threads on which blizz "could" possibly give an answer. His post personally made my morning =)

    I wasn't aware that Blues are supposed to be humorless robots

    DO IT WITH ME, EVERYBODY!!



    It's astounding, time is fleeting
    Madness takes its toll
    But listen closely, not for very much longer
    I've got to keep control

    I remember doing the TIme Warp
    Drinking those moments when
    The blackness would hit me and the void would be calling
    Let's do the time warp again...
    Let's do the time warp again!

    It's just a jump to the left
    And then a step to the right
    With your hands on your hips
    You bring your knees in tight
    But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,
    Let's do the Time Warp again!

    It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me
    So you can't see me, no not at all
    In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
    Well-secluded, I see all
    With a bit of a mind flip
    You're there in the time slip
    And nothing can ever be the same
    You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation
    Let's do the Time Warp again!

    Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
    When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
    He shook me up, he took me by surprise
    He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes.
    He stared at me and I felt a change
    Time meant nothing, never would again
    Let's do the Time Warp again!

    I dunno.. if I were paying $15/mo to RP and got an answer like that from a blue, I know I would take it as asshattery. We value them for their knowledge and inside information, not their humor and dashing good looks.

    I can't see why the shattering would happen and then, suddenly, poof, we're months in the future
    ..................Really?

    That deserves Bashioks response. The question was answered even in the Cata trailer( months ago).

    I guess I just didn't get the joke. Flame on.
