Imagine being one of these top mythic raiders and having to do 900 different tedious things that aren't raiding, just to be able to beat a raid because Ion designs them as such. In a way, the point about design being shaped by mythic raiders is true, it just fucks them over more than everyone else as well. Ion only gets hard watching top guilds wipe to raid bosses.

That's the problem with the sunken cost fallacy, and the thousands of hours players invested in the game. People don't let go so easily, but once they do, the love for the game may turn into hate. And even if they come back, they will never be as attached to the game as they were before.

Blizzard's biggest problems at the moment are abysmal communication with the playerbase, and the slow reaction speed/turnaround to player problems and feedback. They really have to step up their game here.

A good company would hire competent community managers and have them report player feedback in a condensed manner to the developers. And also have the customer service team (GMs) filter feedback to the development team. But I guess the developers didn't want to listen to feedback, so they let go of the former and replaced the latter with minimum wage drones in India, where the primary required skillset is to copy/paste text snippets.

That fallacy hits hard for games like this where they’re essentially engines for building memories.

What the shit ? This business with Asmongold is a literal plot-line from Mythic Quest, Blizz getting ideas from shows that parody them now? ;p

Curious if WoW sees a bump with raid being open this week, etc. Crazy servers still aren't up, though.

Asmongold leaving for XIV is basically Actiblizz's '14 days' moment.

No amount of communication can undo what they set in motion. I'm waiting for him to show up at Square Enix's headquarters and get hired as a quest designer so the circle can be completed.

You have 14 Days. If after that time Shadowlands is not properly un-timegated, I am deleting my characters, and cancelling all of my accounts. The rest of my guild will follow suit, as will several other guilds and people that play World of Warcraft.

To be brief, I did not work my ass off, jumping through your idiotic hoops with my friends and guildmates, so I could go to a zone where I can't play the content due to a time gate. EVEN if past these initial moronic events I can finally get my RNG best in slot from raiding, FUCK YOU GUYS. Seriously, FUCK YOU.

I cannot believe this... right now I'm just so pissed off. I am sitting here in a Mythic+, and 3/4 of my guild is just sitting around while my friends are trying to find PvP partners. Don't you people have ANY FUCKING DECENCY? KOTIK WHY DON'T YOU STOP COUNTING YOUR MONEY AND START ISSUING ORDERS?

The tragic irony of creating the ultimate cockblock encounter in the form of time-gated content which requires people to stand around, and then have gear that drops that doesn't even have stats for my class in personal loot.

14 Days.... after that this site will change from the most popular World of Warcraft fan site on the internet to the most popular Final Fantasy XIV fan site on the internet. I'm done playing ball with you useless fuckers... it's my turn.

So, visionary realms is going to hire Asmon as a lead developer on Pantheon? This could really turn it around for the entire genre!

Asmon said he isn't going to leave WoW. He's still going to play it. FFXIV won't replace it. It's just a side game for now.

As long as he's getting 100,000+ viewers while playing both sides of the field he should continue to play both sides of the field.

i didnt even end up logging in myself and i played every single week of 9.0

you need to refarm soul ash to be up on the legendary slot changes, and i just couldn't get into it last night. I sat at the keyboard thinking about it trying to get the juice to do some 9.1 stuff.

i just cant set foot in torghast anymore. if they deleted torghast related stuff i might have been up for 9.1. might be it for me.

He might have swapped just now. That would explain it. Just funny the clip with the FFXIV advertisement emblazoned on it essentially.
