Is everything going to break?

[Gadzooks]

I started this thread, so I'm gonna jump back in...

I intended the thread as a *snerk*, because so many issues hit from the patch, and then it was just amusing that the forums went down - which was probably from so many people logging in to complain about WG and raids and everything else!

I don't fully agree with all points in this thread, but most of you made some good points, points that I'll be damned if I have any answers for. The game has grown, and they have a fine line between keeping it interesting, and adding new cool features, and breaking it and making everyone looks elsewhere.

I also agree that I think some of the key people may have moved on to bigger projects - but, I will still state that I think Wrath is their best work, yet. Just from questing, this expansion is amazing - the lore, the quests, the settings, everything. I've enjoyed every step along the way. I have dug into Icecrown and it's just as interesting as Storm Peaks. I'm kind of sad, because it's almost over! I'm losing interest in buying two more accounts, and just parking my new 80's and starting to work on another 3-toon team, because I know I can handle 99% of the non-instance material - then later on, when I can afford two more accounts, just transfer some over. I have zero interest in raiding, the gear, while justified at being epic, is really kind of lackluster, and while I'd like to see the instances, I'm more interested in learning the ins and outs of a couple new classes in easier content. Pvp? Whatever. It's boring now, it's a complete joke with the numbers of DKs and melee, cloth just don't seem to be bothering, or at least that's what I see when I poke my head in BGs and WG.

I tend to see this week as more of a management issue - whoever signed off on the patch, should be in quite a bit of hot water right now, if it were one person or a group - it was a failure no matter how you look at it. They changed Arena in a fundamental, under the hood manner, with no proper testing or warning, and that is not acceptable.

Now that I've griped a bit, here's my hope:

3.1 will be an AMAZING patch, with lots of new, hard mode dungeons and achievements, they'll figure out some PvP fixes, add some new, fun solo and casual content (Ogrila, Netherwing, or Isle type content), buff up the professions, and give us some hints to what to expect with Arthas.

From what I remember, it was after the first major content patch in BC that we got to settle in and get some serious playing done, it was stable and there was plenty to do. That's what I *hope* 3.1 will bring. I *hope* that the guys working on 3.08 were the B team, and the A team is on 3.1.

I'm pushing for 3 v 1 and 2 v 5 arena brackets. Those would rock steady.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask for a facepalm smiley.

As a hardcore PvE'er and someone sick and tired of blizzard nerfing PvE to suit PvP, I'm loving it. I think its hysterical they've screwed up so much now their precious PvP won't even work without lagging out / crashing the servers. Don't get me wrong, I love some PvP. But not this bastardized RNG bullshit.

I tend to agree; I don't mind PvP, but don't think the game should be 'balanced' around PvP at all.

My thoughts are PvP should be a face off game of Electronic Simon. Testing your hand eye coordination and memorizing skills much better then WoW.
