Whoa a patch is coming out on a Tuesday? Totally done cause GW2 is coming out I mean its not like that's never happened in the history of this game....oh wait patch day is always Tuesday.
Lol at GW2, arcade style MMO ftw. Not even a true competitor to any other MMOs, Rift, SWTOR, AION or any of them..... It literally has NO endgame, not just a bad one, none, zilch, nada unless you like its style PVP (and I have heard many complaints on the fluidity of the gameplay)
Might be a fun game, but it has no longevity and is not a competitor to Rift, AION, etc..
While I am not a WoW hater and did not come here to bash it, I must state one thing. People who claim that the release date of this patch has nothing to do with GW2 and Blizzard is not trying to sabotage something are delusional. Blizzard ALWAYS countered large MMO releases. This is their known strategy since years and I am not surprised at all by what is happening now. While indeed coming here and bashing WoW might be a form of GW2/whatever fanboism, stating that 28 August patch release day is just a mere coincidence is an example of similar WoW fanboism.
Are you naive enough to not think they had this date set before GW2 release date was announced?
It's almost laughable.
No wait, it is. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Yea, no gear progression is no endgame.Not having raids != not having endgame.
GW2 is all about PvP, it's not about endgame, it's not about PvE. People can try to defend GW2's PvE all they wan't, but it's not there.
That is why I will play GW2 just for PvP, and WoW for PvE.
Completely expected, but thought they would release one week before or after the D3 patch.
Diablo and WoW patches on the same day...guess they figured that everyone will be playing GW2, might as well release a couple of patches on a light server load day
"Hey guys, let's delay the patch because people on the forums will accuse us of trying to compete with GW2!"
Yeah, no. If you seriously think an expansion pre-patch is an attempt at competing with a brand new, hyped as hell game, I have no words. Chances are, the release date for this patch has already been set in stone for quite a while. Even if it wasn't, they didn't have a lot of dates, and the 28th/29th is roughly a month before the expansion releases. Doesn't sound like an attempt to "fight" GW2 to me.
Woooooooooooooo. about time. i cant stand farming act 3 inferno anymore.
Zing!

Did you think we had forgotten? Did you think we had forgiven?
