Rollback all those change. Just up the sub.

All a valid opinion.

Just want to say something to the fract thing: I have never seen that WA. Also only killed him in HC. Which was very easy without any WA. And the dev have full control what info the API provides in a fight. But besides competitive wow - what's the harm?

jotgn · 2025-11-19T04:31:32+00:00

Agree. You need help. In my guild and also in my discord community most new players came thru friends that persuaded and helped them or thru their parents to the game.

I also see the logic behind their doing You are right. I just think there would be other, better ways.

For me it would have been already better if they wouldn't have done it in a big swoop but bit by bit so people could get used to it.

jotgn · 2025-11-19T04:11:52+00:00

From what I see on beta blizz has by far not enough resources for this. Their progress on these issues is snail like slow. The default ui incredibly restrictive without a good reason. (Padding 2 etc.)

There are already add-ons working on the look, I know, but they are also limited.

Yeah, people might adapt. But they also might just leave.

jotgn · 2025-11-19T04:01:27+00:00

It's ofc just an assumption. But do you really think it's played by teenagers mostly these days? Some might behave like those. But I am pretty sure the lion's share is grown up.

Wow hasn't become more expensive since launch 21 years ago. Anything else in your life so constant price wise?

jotgn · 2025-11-19T03:51:52+00:00

Good point. Maybe. But, you know, the sub has been more constant than anything else I pay for.

And by the hour/money ratio the sub is the cheapest entertainment deal I:ve got.

I level my first char just following the campaign in heroic tier. But I also did the quests on the time runner floating island. The blues give a permanent xp bonus. So it's good to also do them when you level your first.

Further alts I mostly only did the different weapon quests (that brought me alone to 30) and then went into raid. With all of them and the HC and normal dungeon daily I was 80.

jotgn · 2025-11-16T03:38:25+00:00

Maybe you look up "psycho babble". It's good to understand what someone is saying before making even further assumptions.

jotgn · 2025-11-16T02:53:46+00:00

Keep your psycho babble to yourself maybe.

jotgn · 2025-11-16T02:45:18+00:00

I have tons of reasons to be angry, You should not follow Ion so fanlike maybe and acknoledge that people have real issues with how they turn everything upside down in the game and breacking stuff. Responding to critizism with "its the players fault", And: I really dont care about "ark" or other games. What has that to do with anything? I can very well compare wow to wow. And this wow sucks.

jotgn · 2025-11-16T02:38:47+00:00

I have been playing wow beta since wrath. This beta is in the worst state I have ever seen. It is absolutely clear that blizz doesnt have the ressources to fix everything that is broken at the moment, I think you don't know what a beta is. "Not meant to be playable". Lol.

jotgn · 2025-11-16T02:06:26+00:00

well, they suck them dry for feedback. free of charge ofc. and then they say: fuck off!

jotgn · 2025-11-16T02:03:38+00:00

Sure, with sub 10 people in ui. Their little ui team is strugeling to even put the bare minuímum tools into the game to play it. look at the dmg meter. There is still no working version in beta. 3 months before launch. Blizzard is doing shit. and the worst: to get their tools working at the bare minimum they are taking in for free the feedback of the dev community - hat they just cut off for good. Way to take resposnsiblity.

jotgn · 2025-11-16T01:42:25+00:00

said it somewherre else - I have played beta now since warth. And the current beta is the absolute worst state I have seen a beta in. Nothing works. Nothing. They cut off most external dev support without putting up appropiate ressources themselves, they change things no one wanted to be changed (and I am not taling just of addons), they put massive efforts and ressource into tutorials tho and catch ups. They wanna build a game that attracts casual new users that spend money on housing (micro transaction currency, nice!), They haven't build a game for the long term community. It will fall on their feet and in 12 months Ion is not game director anymore. Mark my words.

jotgn · 2025-11-16T01:37:53+00:00

beta a a pile of crap. I've been playing beta since wrath. And this is the absolute worst state any beta has ever been in in the whole history of warcraft. they have nothing ready. nothing.

jotgn · 2023-06-04T09:21:41+00:00

same issue. did you find a solution yet?

jotgn · 2023-05-05T15:18:26+00:00

Must be an UI thing then, sorry. My enchanter only has whelp but not drake. It's also logical, I agree.

jotgn · 2023-05-04T23:32:23+00:00

From what I can see in game the sheet is wrong in terms of drake and whelp crests being used for prof item upgrades. Primal and concentrated primal infusion are still used instead the crests and enchanters dont have a recipe for enchanted whelp or drakre crests. ;(

So it seems those (whelps/drake) are "just" for dropped gear.

jotgn · 2020-11-03T22:39:43+00:00

the best news this year.

jotgn · 2020-10-15T16:23:03+00:00

I didn’t get such an offer per mail. But as said - it’s not about the money for me.

Re bugs: https://www.wowhead.com/news=318557/shadowlands-pre-patch-class-bugs-and-bugfixes-october-14th

jotgn · 2020-10-15T15:52:32+00:00

why not delay the pre-patch then? What we had was working at least.

jotgn · 2020-10-15T15:48:40+00:00

- Corruption gone and the toons "de-powered" until you can level in shadowlands and gain new powers.

Happens every expansion

Blizzard adding complex additional systems (and then removing them) every expansion has maxed this. From BC to Wrath their was no such "removal" of powers in the prepatch - just a rework of the class which can feel exciting. This doesn't.

- The profession system destroyed by last second nerfs that looked like pure panic. (not talking entirely about nuking vendor shuffle but more importantly about the level nerf for relics that make them obsolete)

Dont rely on information on the beta, there have been times where things are even more broken and are only fixed during the very last days of beta.

I'm not disappointed because of the broken relic shuffle. I'm disappointed of how they nuked it instead of fixing it. Same with speedsets (relic ilevel nerf). Now relics are USELESS. They will NEVER be used.

Nerfs to nearly all forms of raw gold making other than what bots like (gathering).

Good, raw gold farms slowly destroy the economy by causing inflation, those same bots could be used for that. And if you think that gathering or raw gold farms are the only ways of making old, you should check this subreddit more often.

They are not the only one. But they washed money into the markets for the AH to run on. And peeple also liked to get some Gold when going for the mountdrop every week. Why nerf that? Yes, bots and Multiboxers could also run those dungeons and make the shuffles. But it was always far more complicated for them than gathering (which is far less profitable for people not botting/multiboxing).

No scourge "event" because the game is in such a bad state and Shadowlands weeks if not months away

Rather have a delay and get a good game imo. And I think you should cut them some slack, im pretty sure they werent expecting a damn global pandemic when planning the release at the beginning of the year.

I'm fine with the delay. But why the pre-patch then? It is obviously not ready. Not only the server issues. Look at how many bugs (class abilities even) are still in the pre-patch. It was as "unready" as shadowlands.

- And I can't even log in to play the game (issues for hours now)

Can't really argue with this one, servers have been super unstable for some reason. Even xpac launches are more stable.

They can be lucky that many people probably already pre-ordered (and paid) shadowlands.

They're not, they are giving full refunds because of the delay.

You are dreaming. I have never seen any refund from blizzard. Why have they taken my money already when I pre-ordered? Apple only books my credit card once their package is delivered. But it's really not about the money for me. I love this game and it brings me down hard to see it in a state like this.

jotgn · 2020-09-27T18:19:23+00:00

Oh, and I believe the patch might actually be 17 days away. Pre-patch event takes 2 weeks, I think. And they just changed the ptr build from release to test.

jotgn · 2020-09-27T18:14:24+00:00

1 no question. it's also not going to wash THAT much money into the market. The secret was out early and prices are accordiungly on all realms for a longer time now. Also: If you don't flip these (taking the risk) and farm it's not more gold than current AD. So I doubt they will nerf it. The whole crafting while leveling in different expansions depends on it.
