    Pretty sure this had happened after any major patch.....yes major patch. As far as i know ,this isnt a major patch on our side. 1 Raid zone, and the Battle.net new ID identifier. It's most likely this last point that they had issue with.

    Well there is a little thing called the rated BGs... possibly some new info about them...

    Are they stoned? They didn't give us ANY new information at 4. All we are saying, those of us "QQing," is that we would at least like Blizz to own up to their failure and tell us things have gone wrong and they don't know when things will work. Maybe a little explanation of what issues are occurring.
    Honestly, I'm surprised that the greatest game makers in the WORLD have this level of crap Customer Service.
    The update at 4 was to say that they are still working on the patch and would update again at 5. Learn to read.

    Sorry, but you're kind of an idiot. My friend's dad Troy worked for the makers of Guild Wars and his Co-worker was fired after not replying to people concerned when the game crashed.
    Do you see Blizz in any big hurry to inform us of what is going wrong or when to actually expect things to get better?

    Exactly! I mean PvPer's also will get new spells, new BG, possibly new Arena maps, new strategies, new gear, new Rated BG like you said. I mean how are PvPer's disappointed? They pretty much already gave you all the info you need...

    Calm down. Take a step back from your computer. Go to the gym. Watch a movie. You'll be okay, I promise.

    You're the one that needs to read. They had already told us that maintenance was extended and that they needed more time to work on it.
    That's what they said again at 3, they said they would give us an ADDITIONAL update at 4, but failed to follow through. In case you're confused an update would consist of NEW information.

    They are not the reasons for the extended maintenance.

    Two things never change: downtimes for patches take (much) longer than expected, and people will complain about it. Ok, three: people will complain about people that complain. That's me!

    Anyway, that's a pretty big known issues list. I guess they've spent most of their time on Halion. You know, a dragon with cleave, tailswipe, a damaging aura that justifies bringing your resto druids, fire on the floor... New stuff.

    At least they could have fixed the drums and Tyrannus bugs, they're pretty annoying. The last is almost esoteric, every pug suggests a different process to avoid bugging him :P

    Wow man, you mad? A perfect example of the internet ****Wad theory.


    Why is it when one of them said "Deathwing is back and ready to give it to the mortals in a very unpleasant way" do I think of Mallrats?

    "He likes to do women in a very uncomfortable place."
    "The back seat of a VW?"

    Actually, you're the idiot. You cannot even begin to comprehend the complexity of all of the coding in this game. What do you think the extension on the maintenance is for? So Blizzard can have some private raiding sessions together? You're probably just upset you don't get to play WoW before bed time.

    I find it funny that you expect me to actually do what you say. I know for a fact that this happens every time. And I am well within my rights to voice my opinion.
    If you disagree with what I say, that's fine. "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." That does not give you the right however to assume that you can tell me what to DO. My life is my life. Say that you don't like what I say if you want. But do NOT tell me I can't act the way I do.

    Since when does an update have to consist of new information? An update is an update. If they have nothing new to report would you rather them not say anything until they do? People bitch when they "keep players in the dark" and they bitch when they update every hour but don't give people what they want..../sigh

    There was in fact new information - that they would again update us in another hour. While I'm sure various reasons are causing the extended downtime, they've never been ones to divulge the specifics. The only say that they are having issues, still working on it etc. They are still having issues and are still working on it - those were the updates whether they said the same things or not.
