Daffid, you and a few others need to get off all this "promise" semantics shit. If I say, "hey, if you come to work for me , and Ill pay you 14 bucks an hour"...then come payday tell you...."hahaha pwnt, I never PROMISED" ...youre still gonna be pissed right?
The op never used the word promised.That came in after you guys got a link to a blizz rep stating that their plans were one per xpack. Then suddenly it was like a 2nd grade playground argument......
"NUH UH, they didnt promise"
lol.
They said something.They went back on it.....Again.I have all night here...want more examples of things they indicated were coming, then didnt deliver? iI played WoW from launch day. Played for 3 years. Personally, I like blizzard as a company, and am GRATEFUL to WoW for what they did for the genre, making it mainstream and all. That said....they aren't , or at least shouldnt be, immune to following through on what they say.
Anyone else care to discuss the "no honor wipe with wotlk" episode that no one seemed to notice me post earlier? Wanna bet they didnt "promise" on that one either?
Wow(blizz) is not infallable, nor are they the antichrist...they are just some devs at a company, sop stop glorifying/crucifying them.

If it contains the words video and game, it must be a WOW clone. |

I learned one lesson after all these years... If you don't play the game anymore on a 24/24 basis, please don't discuss detailed game elements with the active players base. You always get a backfire. That's what's making it also so easy to defend WOW btw. It changes so much, by the time the complaining of old players hits the floor, the game already has surpassed the elements of complaints Like the over powered DK's (no nerving,.. wait ;;. no OP boosts, ... wait no nerving etc ....) Remember the QQ'ing about WL 8 months ago. WL are now everywhere in the arena teams. So lesson learned: those who PLAY the game are happy with the new dual specs (never promised) and these active players have 30 class branches. More than enough to handle the difficult balance problems. Housing would come in handy of course, but I'll let Blizzard do the work/ while I am simply .. a player. Most people forget that. About the player housing 1 hero per, scenario. Now I don't really care either way right or wrong it doesn't matter, so just for arguments sake. In most circumstances such would be viewed as the classic carrot on a stick trick, Devs like to use when nothing's going on or when they want to bait you along. It's not only Bliz that does this, they all do. It just shows they aren't any different than the rest I'll stress that that doesn't mean it's bad it just happens. In a lot of cases this pisses customers off, now I've seen you both in other forums bringing the slightest issue to light, to knock on a dev team or company. Now is this a double standard or what? As for Zorn's post: Honestly that could be said about just about any issue in any game on the market.Remember that next time you talk about another companies MMO. For every minute you are angry , you lose 60 seconds of happiness."-Emerson If you can't argue the point don't say anything at all. |

Since you brought it up, DAoC had over 30+ classes, with 3 specs per class. That was my first game, so yeah, I'm spoiled. |

Seriously????!?!? After the debacle that happened with Deathknights you honestly WANT another???
Some people....
I'm only kidding, I mean no insult or w/e but honestly... deathknights I personally thought was an absolutely HORRIBLE idea, only because they were so god-damn OP. I highly doubt that blizzard will make another hero class that ISN'T OP.

It was a good idea, poorly executed. Blizz should have made it FAAAR more difficult to unlock the class...such as perhaps some sort of epic questline that the above-55 toon had to complete, then they could create a DK, and go through the whole rebellion line. As it is, I'm sorta glad they are a dime-a-dozen. Now I can roll a hunter if I want, and not have it automatically assumed that I'm a moron, since DKs have taken the 'tard crown. |

Originally posted by severity3 Your analogy is pretty bad, because you offered someone something and then took it away after the date it was due. Blizzard never promised, guaranteed, vowed or gave any assurance that the things people are claiming would absolutely come true. It just didn't happen that way. Go read the quotes and then tell me where anyone was lied to or assured those things would happen. Lets put it this way Monday: your friend calls you up and suggests you get together on Saturday if they get all their work done this week. They will bring pizza and beer to watch college football with you. Wednesday they call you and inform you that work got backed up and they won't be able to come over on saturday, because they things didn't work out the way they hoped it would.
Did you know it was possible that plans might change? Did your friend tell you in advance plans changed? Now, do you think it would be appropriate to bitch about your friends actions? To call them a liar?
Also, I'm not glorifying or crusifying blizzard. I am just debunking the misinformation that some people are spreading. I have no problem discussing blizzards failures as well as their successes, but I will not twist comments into something they are not just to do nerd rage.

Just like Locks were "OP"(then got nerfed so badly few people played them any more...They've only recently started to come back). Just like Retrib pallies were "OP", and warriors, and shammies... Are you starting to see a pattern here? ANY class that happens to be fun to play, and who may be effective at their role(in the case of death knights, thats anti caster) gets hit with oceans of QQ's and hysterical howls that they are "OP"!!(rolls eyes). Instead of keeping PvP and PvE skills separate(so that PvP can be "balanced" without wrecking PvE) Blizzard in its infinite "wisdom" has been playing this wack a nerf game since the days of Diabol1. FOTM is only one of the drawbacks to that approach. |

Originally posted by Daffid011 There you go again saying blizzard lied. That implies they make a promise that has been broken. Care to show me where they made a promise? Look Grandpa, I did your homework for you and guess what, it proves you wrong. Read the quotes. Obviously Blizzard would like to do housing just like they wanted to do 1 hero class per expansion, but that didn't happen. Note it was NEVER promised. Now I know why you don't post links to prove your statements, because they show you to be wrong. Either you are intentionally misrepresenting the facts or you are just a flat out liar who wants to hate on something. It doesn't take to much to figure out which. Like I said before, you are they type of person who misconstrues everything developers say and then whine and cry just to hear your own voice and feel like you have made a valid point. All you are really doing is wasting bandwidth on misinformation.
Guess eluding at things is a good way for Blizz to go, that way when they dont follow through they come out squeaky clean. |

I guess this is the closest you can come to saying "Sorry I do not know what the fuck I am talking about and apologize for calling people names".
Thanks Grandpa, you are free to go now. |

What part of the wiki that clearly shows quotes from the blizzard development team talking about housing were you unable to understand? It seem every time you fail to comprehend simple statements you resort to calling everyone else a liar. Do you seriously have that much trouble clicking a link and reading a post?

Thanks Grandpa, you are free to go now. So now Blizz never said they were even "planning on housing"?" I dont know what your Blizz boys are doing for you but it must be something special. Oh and in your arrogance you forgot I am free to go or stay as I choose, but then again im not owned by a game company. |

Again, where did i call anyone a liar in that post? As ive said before, you see what you choose to see and think everyone else is as blind as you are. Your attempts at superiority are very over rated and a bit pathetic, |

They promised hero classes were "coming soon" when the game launched, so why is anyone surprised? And given the issues with balancing DKs, it's understandable they don't just cram new classes into every expansion. Personally I'm looking forward to the old zones getting an overhaul. |

Anything posted by a CM on the blizzard site is rarely official (unless stickied and stated otherwise), like Neth said is was a plan of theirs and as blizzard has said many many times, plans do change. Blizzard has never promised anything ever, and taking any statement they say as a promise is your fault not blizzards. Unless Blizzard actually says they promise to do something, you should never expect it to happen ever.
They say here why they decided to go with new races intstead of classes, nothing in too indepth but they give the reason.
"The great thing about human language is that it prevents us from sticking to the matter at hand." |

This is exactly what I mean, you simply cannot or intentionally pretend not to comprehend what is written once you get called out. I made clear statements about you calling BLIZZARD a liar. Here and Here Don't pretend to not understand what I said. Perhaps if you spent more time reading instead of thinking about what you are going to say, you might actually follow the discussion in a thread and not spew so many inaccuracies. You asked for links to prove you wrong and I supplied them. [Link]
Now stop wasting peoples time with your misinformation. |

Now stop wasting peoples time with your misinformation. Yes yes, we all understand at this point. Blizz can mislead all it wants too with "we would like" or "we intend" and as long as it wasnt written in blood somewhere the wow faithful will not only defend, they will also explain to all of us how hero classes, player housing and guild halls were never promised. Do you get paid by the week or by the hour? |

plans change regardless of promises. for example i promise to take my son fishing in few months but boss calls for business trip that week. have to break promise or get fired. of course i would keep job and change fishing plans. blizz planned to make heroes but plans changed when they realized DK was alot work alone. |
