Patch 5.4 Unannounced Feature, Character Services 50% Off, June 4 Hotfixes, DLC Comic

[Megraam]

I literally can't wait for Krom to spec ret, go to raid and be last in meters while first by ilvl.

[Krystal]

I hate my luck. It figures that they put in this sale 2 days after I server AND faction transferred a toon to be with a friend. Argh lol. @_@

[MysticalOS]

But but... the feature... :'( I must know what it is!

I guess they decided it wouldn't live up to its hype and won't disclose what it is.

remember all the hype about that new unannounced game. Then we got hearthstone....

yeah, i think they don't want THAT to happen again. Not that HS was bad, it just wasn't up to the hype people expected. People expected a wow expansion, or titan and when they got hearthstone they were like "huh"...

I think you have three days or something to do a refund. Contact customer service.

. I don't post here often but I will to help you. They will refund you within 72 hours prior to purchase if you call them so don't wait.

You sure they didn't say it was a weapon? I remember something a while back that said it'd be something along those lines, though I'm not entirely sure where.

Nobody with at least 100 IQ expected anything more than what Hearthstone turned out to be.

[Sellest]

give us PTR already.. don't care how big feature is it going to be - just want to know

[lanceb]

lol today's dark legacy is so true it hurts.

lol was just thinking the same... this one realy hit the bullseye.

[lokithor]

I would laugh if the unnanounced feature was free realm changes just so they could make as much money as possible before they go free.

Wishful thinking though lol.

[vawugz]

If they are now telling us to keep our hype in check for 5.4, I'm just going to assume it isn't going as well as they thought it would. What did they expect? All we know is it could be as successful as LFR (another HUGE change), it helps players who want to do old content and that's... it. Don't want people to get hyped and inevitably disappointed? Don't announce it so early and with such vague information.

[Lemons]

GC himself started all the craziness. It isn't as if they said "there's going to be a big feature in 5.4" and people just ran off with it. GC said it would change the game as much as the dungeon finder, and love it or hate it, it changed the game a lot. So people are naturally going to try to reason out a possible new feature as big as DF.

[Pacster]

Oh yay 50% character services, I can move at least 2 toons out of servers I don't like for now!
Wishful thinking, but I hope the 50% off stays permanently :P

That's anyway just an attempt to get money for transfering even from those that said so far that it is too expensive for them(and let's give them just a week time so they have to make a quick decision. Always works...). Blizzard is fooling us and using us as cash cows instead of fixing the issue. Customer service? Forget it!

[Azrile]

So in other words, the unnanounced feature is nothing special.

Here is the thing, GC said almost immediately that the feature was something that most people would go ´meh´ about.

It is like with everything.. players just exaggerate anything... something gets mentioned, next thing you know it was promised..

GC said from the very beginning it was a feature HE was excited about.. that is all, he then purposefully tried to lower expectations... which is why he said most people would day ´meh´.. now you have people talking about player housing, cross-faction raids, legacy servers and all types of stupid stuff..

Probably the unannaounced feature is somenthign really marginal and a basic QoL improvement that the hype isn't justified at all.

So instead of letting people build insane hype and then go all around raging/whining, they have just cut its legg off right now by saying "hey, don't hype. It's something cool but not that much."

He already did that.. within days of him first mentioning it, GC said that most people would go ´meh´ about it. HE never hyped, it, the players did.

They said exactly the opposite. The said it was NOT going to drastically change the game, that it wasn´t something on the same scale as LFR or LFD.

[Eternal Ice]

Correct if i'm wrong but I remember had read somewhere that LFR wasn't supposed to be released in Cata but in MoP, however blizzard decided to release it earlier (I guess it was because they were losing too many players).

It could mean that the big Cata's feature was supposed to be the hability to xmog the gear and LFR was supposed to be the big MoP's feature, but the plans had to be changed leaving MoP without a new and revolutionary feature so they had to make a new one but with less time.

[Verraad]

Is it possible that we could finally see x-realm heirlooms and that is the big surprise? From a purely business stand point it would make sense to have a sale on character services before they implemented such a feature as a final cash in on people transferring.

[Deepsidedj]

If you didn't want us to build crazy hype about it, then you shouldn't brag so much about how it's gonna bring back players, provide content and howawesome it's gonna be.

There you have it, the return of Tranq Shot bosses is the unannounced feature. Get your rotation macros ready!

[Terridon]

I literally can't wait for Krom to spec ret, go to raid and be last in meters while first by ilvl.

Actually think he will be first on dps, since ret is stupidly easy. He won't like it, unless he suddenly find the pleasure of not really having to work, while still doing his role, without any complaints and preasure.

[Civfanata]

They want it to be sort of expensive, otherwise people would be server hopping like mad. Exactly what people are doing now in a dulled sort of way.

What is wrong with this happening? You could stick a month cool down on it if you really want too.
