    Did Ion get fired?

    The 9.1.5 changes does not feel very hazzikostas to me. Something is different here.
    Anyone else feeling it?

    Doubt it, could be a direction from the new heads of Blizzard?

    Eh, no? (At least nothing about it) 9.1.5 is more of a lure and flavour for players. So, they have listened to fans a little bit - well - a lot, as things on the list were asked for.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    I think that was sarcasm.

    A word of advice, remember to put "/s" at the end of your sentence, because as you can see people on this forum clearly can't spot sarcasm xD

    These are just easy wins to get on the players good side after recent shit shows. It MAY be a step towards a better game design.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Of course its not true. It was a ridiculous response to a ridiculous op.

    Eh, sometimes I like to see how many people take, what is to me, obvious sarcasm as not sarcastic.

    Basically this. I'm fine with the changes, better late than never and hope it's going to be good on the long run.

    But they never said "we fucked it up, we're trying to fix it as best as we can". There's only a flood of "we're good, we listen, tryst us". And i'm not gonna fall for it.

    No, Ion Hazzikostas has not been fired. The thread title is simply clickbait and misleading.

    There are other threads to discuss the 9.1.5 changes without framing this as X or Y got fired so this will be closed.
