Sco called up Blizzard and got them to revert the hotfix EZ

[Klngdom]

What exactly is he mad about? That Jaina is too hard? Or that the difficulty jump from the first 8 bosses to Jaina is too high?

No, 15 minutes from this post, Blizzard finally realized the Water Elemental was bugged and wasn't doing what it was supposed to do when reaching 100 energy, so they fixed it, which now entirely changes Method's strat for the past 2 days. Sure, it's a bug that needed to be fixed, but Blizz has had days to fix it and finally decided to as Method creeps closer to a kill.

"wow sux its to easy"

"they buffed a boss overtuned "

why cant blizzard just let things be difficult for once

They "buffed" Jaina, by fixing her.

[Sting]

Most of the casters are actually clueless as to how the basics work. The only one who showed the least bit of comprehension was the finalboss guy.

If Scripe & co think it could be zerged in the state that it was in for the last 2 days, then I'll trust his judgement over any random mmo-c user tbh.

[Obsession]

Ye well, Method raiders should know better, than ignoring entire mechanic won't fly.

their strat revolved around ignoring a mechanic because it wasn't doing all of its mechanics. I have no idea why people are pissed at blizzard for fixing what was clearly a bug.

[precious]

method says they may have already reverted the change?

They reverted the change cause they broke blockade again while they implemented the fix on jaina. Most useless coders in gaming industry. Period.

Maybe because it shows that it wasn't tested properly?
Maybe because they didn't bother fixing it for 2 days if it truely was a bug?

[Obsession]

i'm so mad that the boss now does all of its mechanics, this is bullshit!

imagine actually thinking like that

[Keysta99]

Yeah I saw that, so he's mad that this fix is really a "buff" and will infact make Jaina impossible to kill the first reset, which means Limit will be able to snag a world first by having an earlier reset.

So really his anger goes back to what everyone has been talking about this entire thread, the NA 16H advantage.

i'm sure you are perfectly qualified to make this comment

maybe because it was the fucking weekend and people have lives outside of catering to 20 people playing your game in an extreme edge scenario?

i really hope they deploy this hotfix in a working state soon so that the rest of us aren't locked into this stupid zerg strat

Maybe because it was over the weekend? You think devs shouldn't have any time off during a player made race that they don't really care about?

[KaPe]

Of course, if the Elemental wasn't doing something it was supposed to do, then yeah it should get fixed.
It's just a really shit way of doing it sneaking it in like that, in all the time Method (& Limit) were doing it like this no one at all at Blizz could contact them and let them know something wasn't right and were looking in to it?

So how would you suggest they do it? If they waited for server restarts, you'd complain that Limit has the advantage. If they announced it after the world first, that means the boss is behaving in unintended way for far too long - and probably making it harder for guilds #2, 3 etc. (or whatever cutoff would there be) If they do it during random day during US/EU prime raiding time, you complain that (whichever) side has the advantage. There's no way to change something like that without screwing someone over.

The real problem there is that the devs don't care about their own game anymore.

Imagine not bothering to work for one of the most important weekends your game will see this year.

"Hey guys heads up, ability x doesn't seem to be working as intended and we're looking into it.", yeah so difficult to do.

the patch dropped two weeks ago dude. this is not even close to one of the most important weekends the game will see this year either.

[Abitou]

their best attempt was 28% short and the stacks were unmanageable. Zerging was never going to work before the reset, Limit had nothing to fear.

No it wasn't

No the real problem is a very tiny negligible part of the player base being entitled children. Who kills Jaina first isn't going to make or break anything for Blizzard at all. It does not matter in the slightest and the fact that people like Lorgok think they're doing Blizzard some huge favor by streaming the progress is silly.

ok...
care to explain what you disagree with?

[KaPe]

"Hey guys heads up, ability x doesn't seem to be working as intended and we're looking into it.", yeah so difficult to do.

Yeah, and when do they fix it? Do they do it during raiding hours? Is it US or EU raiding hours? Is it server restards? So Limit gets 'harder' boss while Method can try to squeeze a kill before that? You'd complain no matter what.

You almost make it sound like Blizzard higher ups aren't losing sleep over "which 20 people will kill a raid boss first". Surely that's the most important thing they could be thinking about - not like there was some major sport event or whatever.
