I had unsubscribed to everything WoW-related since I left the game back in March of this year.<br \/>\nAnyway, there&#8217;s a few things I wanted to go over to get off my chest. None of these are to bash Blizzard, by the way. I actually wish them luck with Legion, and hope they don&#8217;t fuck it up too. Consider this a drama-free WoW post for once.<\/p>\n<p>1. Flying in Patch 6.2.2.<br \/>\n2. Legion&#8217;s &#8220;maybe possible&#8221; release date.<\/p>\n<p>First, flying. Two months ago, Heelz released a video on how to prepare for this questionable, pointless patch coming early next month (if it does get released). Several months ago, Blizzard announced a way that flyers would have what they want, which is simply to fly in Draenor. However, you have to go through living hell. Much hell.<br \/>\nHeelz&#8217;s video goes over such hell. It has nothing to do with dungeons or raiding. It has to deal with how far until your sanity cracks.<br \/>\nFirst, you must explore every zone in Draenor(before Patch 6.2). Easy to do. Second, you must collect 200 treasure chests. Third and forth have to do with 6.2, and this is what would literally drive you insane. You must complete.. every. single. Apexis daily. That includes the Group ones.<br \/>\nFinally, you must get Revered status with all factions in WoD. And guess how you get rep? Yep&#8230; Apexis Crystals! So after you get this done(and you don&#8217;t end up blowing your brains out with a pistol beforehand), <em>then<\/em> you can fly&#8230; in 6.2.2.<\/p>\n<p>Call me crazy, but I was actually considering doing it until I heard I had to do every Apexis daily. And the rep&#8230; it&#8217;s <strong>not<\/strong> fucking worth it. It really isn&#8217;t. Because, where are you going to go when you get your wings? There&#8217;s really no point! And Blizzard knows this. That&#8217;s why they&#8217;re doing it, to test just how desperate people want to fly. I&#8217;m not THAT desperate, especially my pure hate for Apexis grinding!<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nMoving on&#8230; we talk about a &#8216;maybe possible&#8217; release date for the Legion expansion. Heelz believes that they&#8217;re going to base it around the time of the Warcraft Movie release. Because that movie is WoW&#8217;s saving grace. And an interview with a game company, pretty much confirms it(in ways). So, there could be a maybe possible release by either the end of April or sometime in July of 2016. When this is released, is actually very critical of WoW&#8217;s survivability.<br \/>\nIf they do it before the release of the movie (and the expansion is also shit), WoW&#8217;s pretty much dead.<br \/>\nBut if they do it <em>after<\/em> the release of the movie, the movie would help make potential new people see how awesome WoW really is and look forward to the expansion. And in turn, reduce if not undo sub loss.<\/p>\n<p>Though personally, I doubt the movie will save the game. If Blizzard doesn&#8217;t do something in the favor of players(as in a Patch 6.3 with good content that isn&#8217;t more Apexis grinds), they might as well say goodbye to the king of MMOs.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nThat is all I can say that doesn&#8217;t involve bashing them. Because&#8230;what&#8217;s the point anymore? The damage has been done, and I think Blizzard has finally learned their lesson in not listening to their community(at least, I really..<span style=\"text-decoration:underline;\">really<\/span> hope so). All they have to do is fix this mess with a surprise patch that isn&#8217;t more grinds, and they just might get their sub numbers to rise by Q3 of this year.<br \/>\nThe ball is in their court. It&#8217;s up to them if they decide to use it to save their game. I really can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;m talking like this, but it&#8217;s true. Subscription numbers aren&#8217;t assumptions, they&#8217;re facts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been watching Heelz&#8217;s videos since I subscribed to him.
