The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[justwatching]

The dev team yeah, but CMs were affected afaik

None of the people involved in this stuff were affected. Also I can only remember one dev update that was actually delayed and that was months ago.

[infinitemeridian]

When did that ever happen, let alone "50% of the time" lmao.

It's definitely happened more than once, maybe not 50% of the time.

I do recall one European CM who lost her job and then had to apply for a different role within the company.

she got her job back and actually got promoted

Where blog

[Reive]

next week it is then

[Cheezits]

Woooo, 3:00 PM PST blog or something like that.

[doledippers]

lol really. the thing theyve been blueballing the community about for over 2 months, and theyre delaying the blog post announcing it. nice!

[justwatching]

The SoD P2 blog dropped at like 1 PM PST and others have been even later in the day.

How boring.

We are once again seeing why they revealed the next 3 expansions at the same Blizzcon, instead of just TWW.

These Devs don't show much confidence at all in their work.

i know this sounds dramatic, but this tells me that they didnt learn anything from this whole event and how the community reacted to it. in what universe do you understand the frustration clearly articulated by the community regarding this secretive no-news-no-ptr patch, and then delay the announcement of it when it FINALLY comes without word. really annoying

[Valysar]

Do you think devs put more love and dedication into Classic than Retail ?

They didnt delay it? They never specified the time and blog posts have released throughout the day many times before(for example SoD P2). I'm super critical of Blizzard in general but blaming them for things they never said and you guys just assumed is something else.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Why blizzard as one of the companies is so bad at this sorta stuff, with that many years experience it baffles me, honestly.

Whole situation just feels like a joke right now i feel, it was funny but now its just bad.

[Nymrohd]

Y'all need to chill

[Varodoc]

No.

But they looked at the success of SOD and overreacted. SoD was a fluke, not the norm, keep the secretive nonsense in SoD.

The Sombra mystery from Overwatch back in 2016 was done so much better.

Classic? The game version that is pretty much done and requires very little dev time? No.

[Cheezits]

Do you think devs put more love and dedication into Classic than Retail ?

Not really that, but the audience of Retail is more varied and less hardcore so they don't feel as attached to community expectations because so many players straight up don't go on forums/know when news usually drops.

The blog is either scheduled for later for more eyes on it, or "it's done when it's ready"

the community has been openly frustrated about the lack of news. 1 and 2pm est are the expected times for news because thats typically when they post news, the vast majority of the time. they know people are expecting news at those times. if we wanna be technical here they are 9 weeks late on the news. whether or not its intentional , or if they think its cute , or if they just screwed something up, its not a good look, and it certainly does not instill confidence that they've learned anything from this ordeal.

[Reive]

you'd think they're about to release a new game with all this blueballing
