First of all, I've basically been told that I won't get a reply at all because I'm on the EU forums. Nice start.Regarding these issues:
1. Running into a slope/wall often DCs a player.
2. WSG/Twin Peaks flags often don't cap for ~10 seconds.
3. Show All Enemy Buffs/Debuffs must often be unticked & reticked to take effect, usually in the middle of a fight when you realize it's not working again.
The question is not whether the bugs are known--they're well-documented and have been commented on, repeatedly, by blues. The question is--when are these finally going to be fixed? They're bugs that are serious quality-of-life issues for players, have been known for over a year and still show no sign of a fix. Please don't wait for a new expansion to fix year-old bugs (like with the Pet HP "Bug" that's actually a shoddy bugfix that's been around since vanilla); get a patch out and deal with this stuff.
So: is there an ETA on these bugfixes?
How I REALLY feel isn't in there at all. My anger is leaking out a little at the know-it-all (know-nothing) GM wannabes who run around that forum and reply to all the questions as if they're completely mentally stunted Blue posters--in an official fashion and completely wrong. Copy-paste idiots. It's free bumps, I guess, but jesus. I managed to hold back my rage... BUT FEAR NOT, for I'm here to share it with all of you.
We've had these effing bugs for over a YEAR. If I bought a goddamn appliance that stopped its work and had to be reset every time I bumped into an object in the room, or if I had a car that refused to go into park for 10 seconds 20% of the time I attempted to park it, or a monitoring system that had to have all the settings manually reset EVERY TIME I RAN IT, you'd better believe I'd be getting a refund, or a free fix. Blizzard lets these bugs--along with the hunter FD bug and many others--just go. Over a YEAR and the bugs are still here. Is this a multi-million (billion?) dollar company or some indie gaming fiasco? Seriously?? Not even an
"I'm sorry, but these bugs are proving extremely difficult to track down."
Just. Effing. Silence.
A dollar off your monthly fee until it's fixed--imagine that? Imagine if they had to REIMBURSE you every time you lost an arena match or random battleground to hitting a tomb, log or rock? Every time you wiped on Deathwing because your tanks DC'd on the stupid rocks on the platforms?
Imagine if Blizzard had to pay out every time your being unable to see a debuff on the enemy meant you overlapped CC and again, lost the match? Blew your cooldowns into that cyclone because between all the crappy flashing Paladin lights and lack of visible debuffs, you had no idea the enemy was even CC'd?
Imagine if they had to pay out for every single BG lost because the FC was standing on the flagpoint for ten seconds before he died, and the flag just NEVER EFFING CAPPED?
I'd be getting my monthly fee back, I can tell you.
I'm sick of these bugs being around for over a year. I'm shocked when I search the forums and find dozens of threads reporting the same bugs, a dozen blues replying that it's been noted and will be looked into, and this sheet STILL ain't fixed?!
And looking at the Pet HP bug and finding out that it was an EXPLOIT "FIX," an INTENDED EFFING MECHANIC that made my hunter's gameplay HELL, and finding out that not only have they already FIXED it in MoP but that they just can't be effing BOTHERED to implement the fix on live... Really?!
Starting to lose faith in Blizzard as a company, in all honesty. Sad as that is. Their customer service is generally polite, but if their actual game quality is dropping so hard...
EvE-Online, plagued by bugs, once made the mistake of announcing that they believed that their customers preferred "new content to polished old" regarding bugfixes. They lost 1/3 of their subs within a day or two. And yet this is the same mistake WoW is making. EVERY time one of these bugs hits me, a wave of utter frustration rolls through me. The thought "I'm PAYING for this ****ing game, and they STILL haven't fixed this ****" goes through my head, every time. And not even a forum reply.
Sick of it, want a fix, get your **** together Blizzard.
I have no real point to make, not looking for support or sympathy, just needed to rant. If these bugs have been driving YOU nuts, you are not alone.
/Your skill in Ranting has increased to 525/525. You have reached Illustrious Grandmaster Rage. Congratulations!
