The latest PTR build is now downloading. Much smaller than before (344 MB). No news from MMO-Champion as of now. Preparing to login…
And my character is “locked”. Wonderful. I tried deleting him and re-copying. ‘Copy failed’ all over again.
They are working on a fix. So we can safely say that it may be up, but it’s still full of bugs.
In the meantime, I’m hearing they have released the new Blood Elf models. Now they can squeal like little piggies about their awesome non-TBC model.
To me, new models aren’t content nor game mechanic fixes; they’re cosmetic updates.
EDIT: 2:33am.. stand by for childish, entitled whining.
How fucking long does it take to get a god damn fix?! UGH!! Damn it! Expecting Blizzard to fix said problem(s) in 10 minutes, it’s my fault for believing that.
But seriously, they claim the reason our characters are ‘locked’ was an override they had that somehow got removed when they got the servers back up.
How long does it take to switch it back on? A DAY?! Fucking hell, Blizz…
Well… you can at least say “At least they said yeah it’s an issue and they’re working on it instead of keeping you in the dark”, and you would be right. I guess I expect more from them.
Anyway, moving on to more face-palming, MMO-Champion’s been updated with build notes. As it stands, Harrison Jones and Garrison exploration missions have been added. Yay. More missions I don’t give a fuck about, and I could say the same for my followers. I feel they’re getting tired being my slaves to get me geared, when they’re supposed to be utilized better.
I agree wholeheartedly. What happened to dealing with the Iron Horde? Isn’t this our main objective of this expansion?
Seriously, can we please… please just get the expansion moving forward? Maybe they are. To be honest, I never played an expansion this long since the release of it. Usually, I’m off playing another game or something.
But WoD.. it’s different than the others. So much hate built up from the WoD Beta. So much hype… so much promising, fucking epic hype that never happened. 🙁
When am I ever going to learn to not give into hype? It just causes heartbreak. It causes… depression. And it definitely causes anger. Anger of the company, thinking they ‘lied’ to us.
Yet sometimes, you can’t help but give in, when it feels as if the expansion is tailored just for you. For years, I’ve wanted player housing. It’s always been discussed, yet most people just found it very unlikely.
Then we get the Garrison, an alternative to it. Hearing what I could do… bah. I’ve been though this already. Got to move on.
So, the other things are just class changes. It seems BM Hunters really got fucked up. Kill Command and Barrage both got nerfed badly.
Obviously, these are PvP fixes. Yet they also affect PvE.
And that’s pretty much it, for now. If these are the only things that are new of this build, remains to be seen.
