I’m from Brasil and I think I can speak for all of us.. we are angry. We had a price increase 6 months ago and another couple one now for game time and subscription. 84$ BRL it’s a lot a money to pay for a game compared to other MMOs. We have no server in our country so the ping it’s HIGH. No support in Portuguese. The Blizzard Latin America team that gave that support was fired in the middle of the pandemic and in the same day we saw the news of $200million bonus for the CEO. No content in the expansion in months. No expectation date for the launch of the patch 9.1. It’s really sad .. I play WoW almost 10 years and I see a lot people here, a lot of friends stoping playing because they can’t pay that amount or just because it’s too high now. Now in the pandemic people without jobs that play wow for distraction or trying to get of depression. It’s not going to play anymore. Activision have no respect or any regard for the Brazillian community.

Systemic problems existed in Blizzard long before those two left.

And the fact that WoW has never had an appropriate amount of resources given to developers (considering how profitable the franchise is). I would go as far as saying that most, if not all, of WoW's problems exist because of these two facts.

What really disappointed me was their decision to "work on Torghast" instead of adding something like Solo Queue for rated PvP play which has been talked about since 2017 when Holinka was still around. I primarily sub for PvP, and while the expansion started great, I found myself not able to play for 2 weeks, and then... Oof. Playing catch up was exhausting, and sitting in Custom LFG for Rated play is awful. You spend more time looking for a partner/group than you do actually PvP'ing, and that just feels bad. ...Oh, but thank goodness they made Torghast "more fun" (It's still not fun). This is my first time since 2004 that I will be willingly canceling my sub to the game.

I'm in Esfand's mindset right now, where I'm hoping that they'll implement some realms/servers that are NO boosts, NO character transfers. Everyone starts from level 1 for these realms. Considering there are players at gold-cap right now on Classic who will be able to transfer their character and ALL their gold to TBCC, it's going to kill the economy from launch. Having some hard-reset servers will be great at alleviating that problem and helping to give players a better launch experience.

I'm 29, currently unemployed due to: • chronic asthma and subsequent weak immune system that has caused me to usually be hospitalised with pneumonia and other respiratory infections in the past, now also literally blocking me from working due to Covid-19 which may prove lethal to me if I were ever infected. • as a result of isolation for years due to the above, I am also suffering from severe agoraphobia / social anxiety when in continuous contact with people. I could only keep my last job as a travel agency employee for 3 months before finally breaking down in tears and panic attacks and sorrowfully telling my boss I'm quitting. Therefore as a result of not having a steady salary Pre-Paid cards were my only option to play WoW in the past, as I would often play in short bursts of 1-4 months in each expansion, based on my financial availablility at the time. In the end though I had to move in more financially viable MMORPG like Guild Wars 2 (F2P with microtransactions) and Elder Scrolls Online (Buy to Play with microtransactions), cuz I just couldn't enjoy WoW while having my gameplay time constantly kept hostage under time constraints. Which is a pity, cuz Blizzard could have easily introduced a F2P with microtransactions option for WoW where you can play up to the previous expansion of the current one, i.e. play Battle for Azeroth for free while being barred to access Shadowlands without a sub. I would then be way more inclined to let's say buy a mount or cosmetic armor from the cash shop every now and then to support Blizzard while they provided the service for free, rather than constantly having my wallet bled dry for game time/sub time and then living with the angst of: "Oh, I gotta play 24/07 to make the best out of it before it runs out !". Plus, I own half the other games in Battle.net like Diablo III, Overwatch and several Call of Duties, and also made purchases for cosmetic bundles in Diablo III, Overwatch and HOTS in the past (bought Necromancer in D3, Pink Mercy and LCS skins in Overwatch, and hero bundles with mounts in HOTS), Blizzard could have a system that rewards purchases in their other titles by throwing in free gametime for WoW. "Oh, you bought 30 Loot Boxes in Overwatch ? Here, have 30 days of free WoW ! Thanks Customer !" The game could have thus become way more accessible to players, and players in turn would have been way more inclined to make microtransaction purchases. But, the annual sub money made Blizzard fat, thus leading them to Activision, which led to even more greed, and now Bobby Kotick demands his annual bonus mulla to grow even more fat, while having the audacity to fire 1200 employees.

TBC classic, oh yes finally I get to experience the era I missed out the most on. I played wow since it was a new game and the most I ever did in burning crusade was max 2 characters to 70, but I was never able to go far with gearing up due to being on a catch-22 medium server where "I was not geared enough to do entry-raids and heroic dungeons", but the only place I had gear upgrades from were "entry-raids and heroic dungeons"... I still had such solid memories of this expansion, but it saddened me to not experience the end-game content that time around. In Wrath of the Lich King at my peak I was the 10th most geared alliance mage on a high pop server fairly balanced between alliance and horde. I also got to enjoy similar experiences in cata, and MoP. Everything Warlords and later was "meh". The most current expansion may be the first expansion since bc that I did not experience much in and for very different reasons. I cannot play shadowlands for 5 minutes without getting chronically bored.

Actually, this impacts costs for Blizzard/Activision. They don't have to pay for the shelf spot in retail stores for 30, 90 and 180, they can dramatically streamline the retail re-order logistics, among other things, this does simply things for Blizzard. This might push some of those players to engage in subscriptions instead of purchasing their 180 day cards, which ultimately is better for blizzard as well.

Torghast could be made great if they added way more stuff to it. Aside from the regular wings for soul ash and TC, They can literally create a new Mage Tower version in Torghast. Each class can receive a quest from Van'ari, saying that their abilities are strong enough to kill a specific agent of the Jailer, or an officer, or whatever, and that they should go into the tower and kill it. (One for each spec, like the tower). And then the rewards would be a bunch of stuff like, armor and weapon cosmetics only obtainable from beating it and a mount, or something big, if you beat all three specs boss for your class. Boom. Torghast is fun now.

I don't get why this needs to be a problem since the transition from MOP to WOD. Blizzard needs to invest in an additional team who can work on developing 2 content steps ahead instead of just one step. Imagine two alternating teams who complete each other's content patches one always one step ahead of the other. They have the resources, imagine if half of the playerbase didn't quit because of content draught. Blizzard is slowly strangling their own neck.

Welp, I'm definitely among the people who are not sticking by Shadowlands, content drought or not. And I've sticked by most of BFA... I've talked with quite a number of people in the Bellular community, and we generally all agree that we're sick of the Modern WoW recipe, and we wish Retail would go back to its roots, because the whole 'cosmic forces' thing is not mastered by Blizzard. Something has to change, because they're running the game straight into a wall.

If Shadowlands had the content release schedule of Legion, and the quick response to fix things of BfA, then we would have had probably the best expansion of all time. To me, the expansion has a lot to offer, but it demands that I sink several hours into it, only to get about 10% closer to those goals. That is just not fun for me, when all I want is a recolor of a set that I already own. It's not fun for me when I just want to get to max level, to see the content I already seen, but I have to go 1% at a time filling up bars. Legendaries? That is all and good, if you can unlock them and have several thousands of gold to afford the base material. Not to mention the Ash that you would need to slowly gather by running Torghast. Torghast is fun for a month, then once you realize you have about 1-2 viable builds, it becomes repetitive and anything short of them just feels VERY bad to play. I wish it had the loot table of IE's, now that would have been smart. Instead of people going back to that, let people farm this stuff out in current content. It's mostly random stuff anyway. To me 9.1 doesn't look appealing because it seem to be centered around the Maw. I detest that place with a passion. It's unnecessarily stressful and not in a good way. I spent thousands of stygia to deter the negative effects of the Jailer, yet they don't seem to work at all? What was the point then? I even got the Twisting Corridors mount to make my time easier, but all it did was burn me out and leave. If 9.1 doesn't improve the overall experience across the wide variety of content in Shadowlands, then I'll most likely opt to return at the very end of the expansion, once everything unlocks and gets ironed out to be the best they are ever gonna be before the new one arrives.

If the commentary Bellular repeated is to be believed, there are 3 months before 9.1 is likely. I don't have that much patience in me.

I liked the covenant video so i'm ok with the fact it two took two weeks to make also i laughed when you said you didn't know when the video would come out as it came out a day before. I was initially confuses when you said you didn't know when the ptr was then i looked at the comment which said the post came out a couple of hours after the video dropped again which i found hilarious. I agree with your point about the late patch being a tragedy but i can't help feel like it was somewhat blizzard's fault for putting in a difficult to balance system. On the boost subject it feels too much like a cash grab for me, if it was for more player it would have been free for new account only and honestly classic leveling and leveling vanilla in bc felt different so i don't think that's a good excuse for putting in a boost. I do agree with your fresh server idea though. you also have a good point about the wrath mount store. On better news liked the shit show and the intro. This video I got 45 spinefin pirahna for crit food. the number isn't 100% accurate as I stopped for a bit to work out why I could smell burnt toast in my room( I couldn't find out why, i may have made a bad joke about it) and for some reason i kept fishing after pausing the video.

I played through all four covenants and got bored. I’m not a raider and kinda sick of world quests and mythic dungeons after the many months of doing them at the end of the last expansion. I’ll be back for 9.1. Hopefully it hooks me back in. If it doesn’t, I’ll likely pull the plug on my 6 months reoccurring sub. Last I checked, I still hadn’t received the latest 6 month sub mount.

I have some slightly mixed feelings on the 9.1 delay. In many of the last few expansions I felt like they rushed the X.1 patch out too soon while I was still catching up, but then the final patch winds up lasting a year or more (looking at you Seige of Orgimmar). So I have wished for a slightly more even cadence, but this one is looking to be far too long now. When we hit the 40 renown cap I think is when we were all expecting it, and probably would have been just right. And given the cap, is probably what Blizz was thinking they would do. I also would be happy with X.0.5 patches becoming a normal part of the cadence, *if* they were planned out and provided some more minor content (like renown levels and a bridge on the story campaign) rather than feeling more like a bug fix. But I do understand and sympathize that this isn’t how they probably wanted it to go either, and it makes me sad because, like Tali, I felt like this was one of the best X.0 patches so far, and I hope this doesn’t hurt the game long term.

Not having any new content for possibly 9-10 months is just beyond laughable for a company of their size, Corona or not. They're also not adding any short term systemic changes like overhauling the PvP lfg system/adding Soloqueue. It just seems like the development team is just 2 people chained down in Activison Blizzards basement, you gotta save costs on the employees I guess

Actually you are not right on that one. First about the dev team, it has actually increased in size. But my point here is that it's quite hard to work fast on software if everyone is split up and somewhere else. Let me tell you from my experience as a software engineer and consultant, the main problem in development is poor communication. If you tell me now: "Use some kind of software like Skype, Discord or whatever", that does not fix things. As my experience has told me (even if everyone asked claims different), direct communication is the most important part in software development. About those "short term changes", they would only further delay 9.1 so it would not help at that point. Software and game development is not a profession which works they way most people would imagine.

@@Abundy Other companies struggle with the same problem. However these problems are perceived differently. Example: Your local insurance company developes a new website. However the old you are using is "fine" at the moment. So you do not perceive their struggling as bad. I have seen way to many companies which have problems. And it is not solvable that easy. It's mostly not a problem of laziness believe me. There is every reason to be angry about a lack of content. But to pin it on lazy devs is a bit to convenient. And about your "tripling" argument, which data do you use to make that claim? If you need someone to pin it on, go on, that is yours to decide. However it is not just.

19:00 I went into Classic with no expectation of raiding or running end-game dungeons. Just enjoying the journey to level 60 and I had fun with it. But the boost? I'm not so sure how I feel about it. Cynical me thinks its a way for them (alongside store mounts) to weasel more monetization into classic since there is basically none outside of subs. Not for this expansion, but for wrath, potentially adding a sticker price to Wrath Classic and including a "Free boost". That aside, gameplay wise, I'm concerned of what level 58 boosts will do on the botting front. One of the big issues with TBC is how resource reliant the end-game is. Back in 2007, I spent a month about working on my Frozen Shadowweave+ spellstrike stuff for my Shadow priest. It was a struggle to tag mobs on elemental plateau, and spriest absolutely sucked in open world until you got enough spell power to maintain mana. Elemental Plateau is small, and so many classes need the primals that drop there. There's what, maybe 15 total fire elemental spawns that can drop the motes, and you need 16 primal fires (160 motes) to make the spellfire chest alone. And thats all over BC. Clefthoofs in Nagrand for their leather, herbs in certain zones. Consumables were far more important in TBC as the content was just harder. I enjoyed leveling in TBC back in the day. Hell, my 2nd 70 was a Enhancement Shaman I leveled while I was in Iraq with 8k ping. I would queue ES+ AA and kill mobs in Nagrand lol.
