Also Styil thread: Is Blizzard fucking retarded for not releasing their game too early?
So you're fine with basically Beta testing and expansion and it finally being half decent in it's last patch? .3.5?
How about we just get a SOLID, well tested and well thought out game at the launch of the expansion. Then they can use the patch cycle to add and expand the content. Instead of using the patch cycle to fix all their poorly thought out ideas that they didn't test and didn't listen to feedback on?
Fucks sake.
I like how you pull that out of the air. I just said they have patch cycles. Secondly that logic won't work. The final patch of every expansion will always be the best. The reason is due to having all the content there, catch up mechanics, things tweaked over time. What you are wanting is basically the entire expansion to launch and then we spend the next 1-2 years with that while we work on the next expansion.
X.3.5 patches will always be better and the most polished. Doesn't mean we need it at launch.
Anthem devs literally didn't even have a game let alone a core gameplay loop when they showed their gameplay trailer at E3.. I think an RPG of any kind, be it MMO or proper SP, will have that over some experimental lootershooter.
As for WoW, frankly I'm so disconnected from WoW atm, I'd actually take them just releasing shit when it's properly done and ignoring subs in the mean-time (like FFXIV) over pushing shit and unfun stuff out of the door to meet the next earnings call.

You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
Am i living in an alternate universe where everyone forgets how basically every single expansion came out relatively buggy? Does everyone suddenly forget all the problems Vanilla had back when it came out? Polish is just about finishing stuff up, not changing entire ideas, so that has nothing to do with it.

Short memory or just trying to rewrite history as per usual?

Yeah nah.
I'd rather have fully tested systems where they iterate and listen to feedback during a Beta cycle. Instead of them ignoring all the feedback and implementing the changes and fixes players told them about in .1, .1.5 and .2 patches.
This happened both during Legion and BfA. But BfA was definitely worse.
YES. Legion and especially BfA were unplayable at release, with many bugs and newly implemented systems needed heavy tweaking. Remember Beta for Azeroth? Some classes were unfinished and the devs even acknowledged it. So yeah, please, take your time blizz!
is there even a release date for it yet? Beyond 2020? We don't even have an alpha yet. So how you can seriously ask if a game that doesn't have a release date should have that release date that doesn't yet exist pushed back is mindboggling. Really and truly mindboggling.
And it really doesn't matter, because even if they did push it back, you'll just be back here when that amount of time is over asking the same question anyway, because that's just the kind of person you are. They could release it in 2193 and you'd still be "DURRRRR too rushed push back DURRRRR".
How joyous to be in such a place! Where phishing is not only allowed, it is encouraged!
Yes. As i said, i remember the time where just being able to play at all was good, and that was just on normal patches. I also remember being stuck on a copter in MoP and having to repeatedly run back and forth at the garrison entrance to get a slot on the instance server, and the latter wasn't even a bug, just instance servers being wholly unprepared for every single player needing an instanced area at the same time.
Not even close. They certainly weren't perfect, but nowhere near unplayable. We've had times where the game was literally unplayable because Blizzard couldn't get the servers to run, or because everybody was stuck behind a bottleneck you had to go through to do anything of notice.
Anybody who thinks Legion and BfA were bad has either forgotten or not experienced the real gamebreakers that actually did what their name implies.
