I didn’t have time to refill the popcorn dispensers from last night to hear more gooey, delicious drama in the pipes (when it comes to WoW and Heelzvsbabyface). But this is why I really like his videos. He too is tired of the BS of Blizzard, yet also still like the game for what it was.
However, this discussion is different. You see, Heelz in his video feels that the devs are telling the WoW community to back off and even showed an image of what they said. Yet when I read it thoroughly, they didn’t really seem they were blaming the community for the screw-up that was WoD. They actually seem to blame themselves for over-hyping the expansion, saying “we released way too much info during BlizzCon 2013. We will make sure this doesn’t happen again”.
It seems like a continuation of that tweet that I got from that one dev, saying how they hate cutting content. This seems to prove what was said. So… I don’t really see how they’re telling the community to “back off”. More like, chill… even though I won’t be one of the millions that’s playing half-finished content for many months.
Yes, they didn’t finish WoD. Technically it’s still in beta. And they also never apologized for ignoring beta testers.
Yet… all we can do is hope that this ‘Legion’ expansion won’t suffer the same fate. If they’re smart and actually listen to feedback this time, then it could be pretty good and possibly even be worth re-subscribing to. It would definitely regain that confidence they so desperately need right now.
So yeah. This post was going to be full of hate. But now, there’s really no need.
