Are nost devs focusing too little on fixing class bugs?

[Destillia]

First of all its not my intention to bash on the devs work because they're doing amazing work already, I spent months on this server and have been enjoying it ever since i started.

I just feel like its gotten to a point where "game breaking" class/core bugs are being overlooked(?), I dont know if this is the case but it feels like it as a player because were getting no updates on the reports on the bugtrackers and havnt seen any of the major bugs being resolved for very long even though people are BUMP'ing the reports witht infomation and proof etc. every week and most of these big bugs are 4+ months old.

So my question is:
Isnt class/core bugs supposed to be priortized before new content in the first place, so classes wont end up broken during progression where it really matters? (Either being ALOT stronger or worse than inteded due to big bugs with abilities/talents/core)

Whats you guys thoughts?

Heres some of the reports just to put it all in perspective, not all bugs are posted but most of them should be here. I simply went to the bugtracker and searched for each class and took the bugs I found to be most broken and also had alot of proof provided

Yes.

You have me curious...

Did the bugs you refer to exist in Blizzard's official version years ago, or are they specific to this particular private incarnation of WOW?

[Dreez]

they'd have to delay the time to be able to
1. fix class/spell bugs
2. fix various system issues, including:
- performance improvements
- constant anti-cheat updates (including anti-spam measures)
- dynamic/corrected respawn timer implementation for herbs etc.
3. script the new content / eliminate remaining bugs

the way they are currently going is trying to not delay the timeline while still keeping important issues in sight such as those mentioned in point 2 above

I guess it's the best way they can handle it, noone wants the same content for several months.

TL;DR class bugs are on a low priority

All those bugs are specific to Nostalrius. Otherwise, they wouldn't be considered bugs .

They did not exist in Blizzards vanilla, theres tons of proof in all of the posts and they're all confirmed issues by the devs back when they were reported aswell

Great response.

Expect perfection after the release of Naxx. That's the time when they will be able to fix more on class instead of content stuff.
Not saying you cant expect a fix, but it surely isn't in no.1 priority list.

[Destillia]

Isnt class/core bugs supposed to be fixed before the content gets released in the first place so classes wont end up broken in good and bad ways during progression where it really matters though?

These are all private server in general and Nostalrius specific bugs affecting Reckoning and Retribution Paladins - none of these bugs were present on Live Vanilla WoW:

Basically, none of our talents/spells/abilities either work properly or are even able to function at all in a 40man raid due to bugged debuff slots or the 8 debuff slot limit.

and don't forget lay on hands doesn't work on other players properly.

But yes i think they have their hands full so i don't expect any fixes soon.
