Reddit Ask Me Anything With Ion Hazzikostas on Friday, September 14th

A lot of people where pretty happy with legion actually...and it was really clear what people didn't like about it, the time gated content, AP farm and rng legendaries.

They take away the abilities the legendaries gave, give more AP farm and even more feels time gated...

I guess you are having a blast with the expansion and if so please tell me how you spend your wow time and how much do you play?

Even though all the problems might not affect you personally you can't deny they are there.

''Ask me ANYTHING?''

Okay I want to ask some really gross questions then :P

Do not downvote? Blizzard doesn't get to dictate how reddit works.

Frankly that would be my question.

And he wouldn't answer it because you didn't say what about them does feel extremely neutered, empty, oversimplified, gutted, boring and lame. Stated right in the beginning "A comment such as "fix the game" will likely not get answered."

Well this should go well.

I read this forum all the way through Legion. Literally every time when new content is released there is whining "hot topic" where people claim that change X will destroy whole game. And funny thing we had more whining during Legion than WoD, because.. it was rare thing to release new content in WoD (Legion had like 8 smaller and bigger patches, WoD had at best 4).

That's why it's really difficult to find contructive criticism. But last week they drop the ball so hard with bugs that even relatively peaceful reddit went on fire.

Gonna be a fookin bloodbath

yes, it just "became" toxic. all by itself for no reason whatsoever....

or maybe it's just reflective of the fact that people get angry when they are bilked out of their money for a shitty product.

but not let's just just pre-emptively label anyone who finds BfA at all lacking as toxic so we can dismiss the reasons they are angry by pointing at some rude people and saying they are rude so nothing anyone says has any meaning.

I was happy during Legion. And yeah people complained during Legion but the tone was different.

I am curious as to why it’s an AMA not a QnA. Maybe Lore is unavailable and nobody else wants to take it on. Maybe he wants to be able to give genuine long detailed answers that’s better in text.

I do hope there’s some real questions. Not just tons of ‘the games crap you’re crap’. I’ve unsubscribed and think BfA is awful but asking or saying things like that is just pointless.

Not even looking at the thread. I don't need more whining and Classic spam. Pass.

Will 8.1 info only be released in Blizzcon together with the direction where the game and its lore are heading, or will we get previews about them before the event?

When will Kul Tiran Humans and Zandalari Trolls be released?

Any news of new allied races?

More lawyer talk and lies inc!

We're guests on this platform and in this community. You run it, you decide what content you upvote or downvote. We think a force sticky doesn't abide by how Reddit itself functions and we shouldn't be an exception to that.

Hopefully the community is able to discuss politely. Do not downvote, if you disagree with a comment, discuss or challenge it. The goal is to promote a respectful, useful discussion, as it is in everyone's best interests.

????????????

Lots of crying.
Spam about classic.
More crying.

should be a fun question. Nice little molotov.

Rastakan, anduin, genn, nzoth?, hallford wyrmbane

just not making the connection you make a class boring and Generic
add systems that are also Generic. there's no way people are going to stick around in that environment.

You do know he alone does not control every single little aspect of the game...

Read what you actually qouted.
Do not downvote, if you disagree with a comment

"We are not stickying the Q&A feel free to like/dislike it as you feel free"
"Please do not dislike comments, discuss and challenge it"


Q&A thread does not equal comment

They are trying to get people to have civil discussion instead of just nuking anything they dont agree with out of orbit.

This is akin to a pig willingly walking into a slaughterhouse with a giant bullseyes on its head where the bolt gun should go.

RIP Ion.

I'm willing to bet he won't pick a single challenging question to answer, he'll just pick the easy ones so he can seem like he's engaging with the playerbase, while not actually addressing their biggest concerns.

Cant wait to here more about legacy raid content soloability and transmog

"The team has X and will be better prepared for Y in the future."

I foresee a ton of perma bans.
