World of Warcraft

To the OP I only have one thing to ask........What part of "Test Server" is just to complicated for you or your buddies to understand?

What is on the test server today may not even be there by tomorrow and certainly will be totally changed by the time the patch goes live. If you're judging you whole WoW experience on something that got nerfed on a Test Server you sir are a moron.

With the arrival of Resilience and Arenas, it's been ten times harder for blizzard to balance out the classes.

Especially since people want their classes to be buffed to be "easier to use in arenas".

From the most part, I can't say much about the patch. I looked at the patch notes for all the classes I play (Shaman, rogue, warrior, warlock) and they are all not too bad of changes.

I wish they would do something more with Shamans though. It seems like they are keeping them at a stagnant state and only giving them a few minor things.

I think 2.4 will be on the PTR for at least another 4-6 weeks. I am sure they have a lot of changes to balancing as well as fixing some of the bugs. I think the way the area is growing based on dailies is a great idea.

While I hate the lag and everyone crammed around the Badge vendors, this patch is a major step forward in making players feel that they can influence the game.

I play a Holy Priest and I've given up on getting upset with class balance issues. I couldn't use Mana burn in arenas before, so it didn't bother me.

Tonight I did a /who  70 rogue = 49+ players

/who 70 shaman = 11 players. 

That alone should tell you something's @#$%ed up with class balance.  Speaking from a PvP standpoint.

Yeah, ain't no lie... Shamans are in a bad way atm... I feel for them, alot.

Try listing some specific examples on what they've done that's ruining the game.

 

Edit: Mxmissle that analogy sucked.  I mean, it was really bad.

that analogy was not pointed at the OP, nor the OP's topic, it's in my sig...

Here is part of the new low

The war is just starting.  And it wasn't needed.  If only it would have been handled correctly in the first place. 

Fact is - Blizzard can't balance the game for all diffrent specs AND at the same time for diffrent kinda pvp and diffrent kinda PVE content.  It will not happen in 2.4 and it will not happen in WOTLK.  You will need to make a new game if you want to create balanced 2v2 pvp content.  Sorry - thats just a fact.

Blizzard has now admitted they can not and will not be able to balance it this patch.  They will do abit here and there but maybe u are starting to notice how thats hurting the comunity atm ? 

No that's just what you think.....

please just stop with the nonesense okay?

If you really don't want to play the game (and lol on the PTR), then don't play it.... It's that simple.

Also post this on the Blizzard PTR forums instead of here...

2.4 is now on testservers.  Actually its not a test.  Its a pile of things that havn't been worked on at all.  Already a total of 4 players from my guild have now left the game cause of huge unbalancing issues that are coming up, both in terms of abilites and items.  Class balanced is beeing tossed around from one day to another - making changes to piss ppl off - just the next day to change something else that makes ppl even more pissed. 

This is not what any game developer should do.  There is now 3 years since WOW came out and you would have thought if they had learned SOMETHING is that you dont PLAY around with class balance.  That is a capital offence in a MMO game. 

Im discussed to see the total lack of respect that Blizzard has shown to their players.   It doesn't matter if you get 1 person offended or 10 million.  You always fail if you dont carry full respect to every single one.  Yet alone whole class or whole spec. 

To me this is a new low in history of MMOs.  The biggest Game developer of mmos desides to play around with class balance from day to day.  No thx
