Yes it’s too late
Are you excited for 9.1.5 and what changes did you want to see? 🤔
To late.
its just for sub retention and to stem the bleeding, people aren't coming back and people still playing will play regardless. It took them 8 months to release the expansion as it should have been launched, instead of listening to beta feedback. They can't keep getting away with it, the community needs to stop turning a blind eye to developers straight up ignoring them and speak with their wallets. It took a lawsuit and financial haemorrhaging for them to listen. I don't care if its mismanagement within the structure of power, you're supposed to deliver a live product at a certain quality and they've been failing at that for 2 expansions back to back. This is expected and predictable, they want 9.1.5 to compete with the launch of New World. Good riddance to this company, I think I'm done after Shadowlands.
super happy about the changes, I'm having a good time playing the game with few friends and these changes seems really nice! Can't wait for patch 9.1.5 and to discover what will bring the future patches! 🙂
People be saying its too late, that some games are better, but its gonna be like 2 patches from now and people that left wow will quickly comeback. Blizzard is doing all what's good for their game because now they HAVE too, new games are coming out that are stealing players so blizzard will make every good decision they possible can, why now? Because previously, they didnt have to, and that's how it works with every huge game, developers are not stupid, they know what players want but they dont release when they dont need to, if there are number 1 they dont care as long as there is competition.
Its gonna take like 6 months or a year when blizzard will have their reborn
I like watching your stream and will continue to do so, but man Blizzard destroyed themselves as a company and this is just an act of desperation. It's sad really. I'm hopeful for 10.0 but for now Shadowlands is a dead xpac
they didnt listen, why people think they did? they do this same kind of quality of life changes on the last patch of the expansion. all they did is do it earlier because of a massive negative press they got lately. so lets not pretend like blizz learned or listening to the feedback… they dont.
I agree with Asmon. This will only be a W when Blizzard takes the criticisms from beta and PTR, put those things into effect and actually do what the players want before the expansion hits live servers. This is far too late and it's a really desperate move by Blizzard. It just goes to show they were wilfully ignoring the players and now that a ton of them have quit, they're trying to get them back. I'm happy that these changes are finally being made but honestly it's far too late. They need to do better moving forward.
Too little too late imo game already feels dead. I'm sure this will help but they already lost the trust of their playerbase
Too late, stuff like this should have been there since release or at best during the initial stages of 9.1
Not really happy with the changes as they should have been implemented far before this.
"early"
4:02 so early? brother this is how it should have been from the start.
All of these changes are a reset to where we wanted the game to be in the first place. The balance changes of specs and the
actualcontent of 9.2 will matter.If 9.2 is the last major patch of the xpac that will be very sad.
Meh is standard blizzard move, take away take away release trash xpac and then half way or more into an xpac dribble back some things and fixes that shouldn't have even been needed in the first place and then they act like heroes.
Why doesn't blizzard listen to the community in the first place?? Why only now when down to the wire and backed into a corner they finally fix "some" things.
Why now? Because FF14… That’s why.
Good changes for sure, but from there to have hope for the future is a big leap bruh
Feels like everyone is waiting for the next expansion and has given up on SL
If this arrived during beta or shortly after launch I'd say thank u blizzard, but after a year all I can muster is about fucking time
I made excuses in Legion, I did my best to defend in BfA but now I'm just annoyed and out of good will because (again) it took this long to fix shit that was pointed out in beta or alpha, or in case of covenants literally minutes after the SL trailer was shown at blizzcon
Blizzard STILL insisting they were correct just makes all this even harder to swallow without fuss
Are the changes good? ofc they are but these are more damage control fixes rather than competent content design and blind praise is a surefire way for them to pull this shit on us for a 4th expansion (as proven twice in the past 4 years)
Too late for a lot of my guild mates, these changes came too late, and everyone is letting their sub lapse for other games like Battlefield 2042 and Halo this fall. Really good time to get out of the game.
My guess is skipping the covenant campaign will give you all Renown you would have if you had done the campaign. With the current rate of Renown, that's about 18.
If only beta testers had alerted Blizzard of all these problems well in advance…
Oops, that's what they did! And as usual Blizzard didn't listen because they know better than anyone else what's fun.
Every time you have to wait until you're halfway through an expansion for Blizzard to back out.
I'm sorry but I'm sick of Blizzard. Not only about this expansion but about the mentality of this company in general.
I won't come back this time, there's no way I'll fall for it again.
That's great most of us are gone. Congratulations blizzard
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list. In some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Too little, toooo late. Calling anything shadowlands related Amazing is kind of an L.
After loosing a lot players now they do this too bad a little too late Blizzard
Do you think blizzard will finally start listening to player feedback when they come out with content now?
And all it took was almost over 50% of the Subscribers to leave the game and show Blizzard that our voices needs to be heard.
tbh they need to either buff all other tanks or nerf bear. And stop saying there should only be one meta tank. Sure but mitigation wise bear is far ahead, if you say otherwise you are just spewing out non-sense.
Blizzard reasons for not doing this from the beginning. Blizzard well it's better late then never right? Our answer people have stopped caring already
Hey Mad. I think your idea of controlled improvements to prolong/rekindle interest throughout an xpac cycle isnt too farfetched.
If it were a beloved enough game I can see it being a very efficient, and dirty, method of keeping people playing throughout. And id say wow for a long time belonged in that category. But im not certain that it is any longer. So maybe that game dev strat is going to be shelved. Or outright scrapped. Hopefully a little bit of, people may unsub for a few months after a content drop but theyre still very satisfied with their stay.
That being said, maybe their explanation is legitimately the way they organize their focus. .0 launch. .0.5 tuning. .1 content. .1.5 tuning and qol. .2 content, tuning qol .3 content tuning and qol.
Either way im super hyped and positive about this patch.
Hoping we can roll over 40 or better renown with us when swapping. Having to farm anywhere from 160-320 renown to not have your swappable covenants be a brick sounds rough.
