Let's talk about content

[Badtank]

So I feel at this point we can say we need a GM to respond and give us a heads up on both when items are getting buffed and what the time line for BWL/DM currently is. According the most updated post DM should have released today and BWL should be releasing on the 22nd of next month. I also think we need a clear answer on when the item buffs are happening. I understand that it was done to attempt to make the T1 content more of a challenge but as that has obviously failed it is now only making said content less rewarding to do as 80% of the gear inside of these dungeons are absolutely terrible.

The only thing the current item nerf is doing is making it feel like a waste of time for many players to even do the content, I mean for god's sake caster gear in raid's might as well be completely worthless. Getting T1 for warlocks with 4 fire damage on it and 1 health per 5 is not a “fun experience” it is a crappy one that makes working to get into raids feel worthless. I honestly feel this entire nerfed item endeavor has been an absolute failure as it is not making the content any harder, only less rewarding.

On the same vein we need a clear answer on when DM/BWL is coming out. Waiting is not the issue, the problem is looking at the timeline and thinking we know when stuff will come out but in reality having no clue. My self and I’m sure many others don't mind waiting longer for content to be tested but having any idea of when it will come would be a lot nicer. The same with AV and Darkmoon decks having a undefined time of when they come out makes it really frustrating as we really don't know when we can look forward to new content.



EDIT: Dire Maul has been answered, can we get an idea of what this means for the item buff? What patch will dire maul put us at item and a clue as to when we can see BWL on the test patch? Thank you!

I agree on the timeline clarification for DM/BWL as it has been "ninja" changed on the community. MC/Ony was cleared, but then was required from both factions. So that happened and 1 month later all we have is Azuregos from 1.3 when we should have had Azuregos and Lord Kazzak a long while ago, and DM should have been today.

It has been commented that the timeline isn't "final", which is fine because having working content is better than having rushed content, but it has been nearly 2 weeks since Azuregos and we've heard very little about Lord Kazzak (not that it matters; I don't see how he will be dieing on Nost. without cooperation) and Dire Maul.

To add, I'm not exactly sure why ANYONE thought vanilla would be "harder" because of the item nerfs. Did any of you really play vanilla? It was more about information than gear checks, with some minor exceptions of course. I enjoyed and respect the attempt to make it authentic, but as Hatson has pointed out numerous times. There are a lot of items that are in the game that aren't supposed to be, or are supposed to have different stats, or certain mobs dropping incorrect loot from their tables, lack of T2 in MC (minus Ragnaros), etc etc.

Server version 1.Nostalrius, where nothing makes sense but server claims blizzlike


They're using a mangos core version from like 2 years ago, which makes absolutely no sense since current mangos would have been closer to blizzlike than this.

I agree. I came here for 1.12 server and found myself playing this game that has this shit trash unbalanced itemstats. Can you just stick to the timeline instead of prolonging the content please?

I have a feeling part of the problem was competing with Kronos, which maybe was the right decision to release early. BWL, Naxx, AQ War Effort, Azuregos, Lord Kazzak, the Nightmare Dragons, and the Scourge Invasion were all not tested during the PvE sessions (at least to my knowledge). So we have the versions that were working"on Nostalrius BETA. So, I'm assuming this delay is to polish BWL up so it isn't a shit fest, if it ever was to begin with.

Alliance killed ony on the 23rd so that would be the 1 month mark at earliest.

So how hard would it be to make a simple statement saying it? It's also more then just DM man, it's the fact that MC loot is so beyond garbage and the really good shit is not even in yet. It's being kept in the dark and what feels like an artificial way to hinder progress that didn't even work that I think myself and many others want an answer to.

Pre 1.12 state of the game is beyond retarded. Stick to the timeline that you made, please.
