Yet once again I seem to be the only one, or have yet to realize “There’s nothing you can do but wait. They will fix it”, as there hasn’t been a Blizzard post since last night about this. Not even a “We’re aware of these problems” statement. I think they’re probably taking the day off today, as it’s Sunday.
This doesn’t prohibit me from giving my angered opinion on why I feel Blizzard failed big time with the PTR. It’s the biggest fail in what I can remember; even worse than the release of WoD.
How so? At least with the long-ass wait times back then, you knew when you’ll be able to play. Here? It won’t possibly be ’till tomorrow.. actually no, because of the “I have a dream” guy’s day. So it could possibly be Tuesday(if we’re lucky), until they fix this shit.
There seems to be a multitude of problems reported, yet what’s bad is not everyone is having these same issues;
-The Garrison is still missing from copied chars. Most people are re-trying Zorbrix’s instructions and failing (it’s obviously not the same type of issue).
-People’s copied chars are either missing or locked to them.
-Some people are saying they can’t see servers, yet I’m able to connect to them just fine.
-Crashing all over the place (namely Error# 112).
-‘Copy Account Data’ continuously having ‘Copy failed’ issues.
-World Server Down reported by a few people.
-People that actually are able to access their Garrison(by creating a new char), they’re getting an error similar to the WoD Beta when trying to access their Drafting Table.
That’s all the game-breaking bugs I’ve seen. This is all from pushing that PTR build last Friday. This is the biggest PTR fail ever (again, what I can remember). The pre and post-Cata PTR wasn’t bad. The pre and post-MoP PTR wasn’t bad.
It’s the Garrison. It’s always been the Garrison. The game starts at the Garrison, and it ends at the Garrison. It should had never existed. Imagine how far less issues would had happened (and my opinion of WoD wouldn’t be so bad).
I wonder how long we’re going to have to wait to get most (hopefully all) of these issues fixed, when they finally announce “Ohh yeah, we know about these!”… ’till Wednesday or Thursday maybe? And who’s to say there won’t be even more issues they’ll have to fix, that could be even worse?
To say this is overly ridiculous and is also the fault of poor management, is an understatement. This is truly WoD Beta #2.
The only good thing I can see from this, it doesn’t affect the Live servers.
