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..
God I saw that name pop up a few times & figured it was a Twitch streamer or something Shows how much I care about the story I suppose.
But OT, it'll be interesting to see what the future holds for Blizzard with the seemingly reduced power at the top of the chain.
Fantastic Shame he'll likely walk away with a severance package that'd choke an elephant.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.
Good. I'm glad hes gone. Ion needs to go too or at least removed from his position and put in charge of raids only. I hear he does well there, but he has no idea or simply doesn't care about anything else. He's kept his mouth shut throughout the storm hitting Blizzard, essentially hiding under the radar, and I think being a lawyer has taught him not to cause attention to himself. He is absolutely terrible for the health of the game overall. Anything beyond boss design is outside is comprehension.
I'd say the latter is more important, because if you are living not in the U.S. and you are not part of the california culture and politics, you care more about the direction of the product and i really bet people worldwide got angry over the fact the current product is bad, because the corporate is rotten to the core and not for any other reasons the customer has little to do with or can influence.(in short politics, uneathical behaviours etc)
That said, Brack was removed, ok, but who cares? He wasn't the games director. Its nice for him to play submarine to swim under the californias court radar, but it has nothing to do with the current horrid state of wow facing strong competition, more heads need to roll at Bastille Day.
JAB stepping down doesnt seem that significant. I mean, he inherited most of the problems. Although his talks with afrasiabi certainly did not change anything and need to be criticized, I feel like this ir more perfomative than anything else. If it were not performance I feel like Fran would be fired aswell. But so far, she appear to be holding fast to her position.
Not only that, but you cannot fire a single person and expect it to solve the company's problem. It is a little more complicated than that, I fear they might think this is enough.
It is not. Not nearly enough.
I don't want solutions. I want to be mad. - PoorlyDrawnlines
Really hope they keep the cubicles. It really increases my diversity and inclusivity.
Shadowlands was such hot garbage even before the allegations it's very possible Ion will be fired just for doing a bad job later down the line. Obviously J. Allan Brack had to go first because this is about the Sexual allegations but that doesn't mean it stops there.
Usually new leadership likes to appoint people they approve of. Aka they often get rid of holdovers from previous management.
Facilis Descensus Averno
Now, can they pls sack the elitist jerks guy who has been responsible for much of the shitshow since 2014 and bring someone in who understands what makes a good MMO.
Edit - spelling.....
Is it because he didn't adequately control his workers and supported the uprising?
New leadership is from the Diablo team lol.
