AV xp buff hotfix

[Sam DeathWalker]

Wootzorers!

"Ummm, no... that wasn't intentional. (Bob, hurry up and buff everything, we're losing subscribers!) In fact, we meant to buff them even more!"

No such thing as bad PR. Blizzard proves to be the master of spin by pissing everyone off with a "mistake" and then being the hero by buffing things to make up for it. I'll give it a try in the morning, but right now I feel a bit jaded or maybe like a battered wife that should know better. Besides, my Aion characters are almost level 10.

Like I said, I'll see how I feel about it in the morning.

Seriously - did you just equate yourself to a battered wife because of blizzard buffing, nerfing then rebuffing XP gains in battlegrounds.

Sure hope that Aion doesn't continue this cycle of abuse by nerfing things.

Hopefully in the morning you'll have gained a bit of perpsective.

Yes, I did. I made the comparison because despite all indications that things will never change, I find some way to believe things will be different this time. Sorry if this comparison was a little too melodramatic for you, but I thought the sarcasm was noticeable.

As for perspective, whose perspective should I gain, since apparently mine doesn't count.

I suggested finding some perspective - not finding someone elses.

I didn't say you were wrong to be annoyed at blizzard - I just had a problem with your analogy.

When you mentioned battered wives I imagined people in abusive relationship, getting the crap knocked out of them on a regular basis, living in constant fear. Too scared to change things.

So it seemed completely out of kilter with your earlier statement of feeling " a bit jaded".
Quite a bit different from what you were trying for.

Knowing now what you were really trying to convey with your analogy I apologise.

[Souca]

It's all good. I can see how the battered wife thing can be taken out of context. I'm not in any real danger, and I didn't intend to belittle domestic violence. Codependent would have prolly been a better way to phrase it, but I tend toward the sarcastically melodramatic at times. I just feel stupid sometimes for getting so angry at a change that I am willing to stop playing only to come back so easily.

S'all good. I'll either find somethign fun to keep me playing, or I'll try other things till I do find something fun. Aion might not be the answer, but it's fresh and the timing was almost too perfect. There are a lot of wow expatriates over there citing this patch as the reason, but who knows how many will be back in a week or two. Optimally I'd like to get enjoyment out of both games.

Give me a break, they make mistakes, and seriously, very few considering the scope.

• The programmers are responsible for some 5.5 million lines of code.
• QA group has tackled 180,000 bugs since the first game's launch
• 4600 people are required to keep the game running
• 20,000 computer systems
  
  • 13,250 server blades
  • 75,000 CPU cores
  • 112.5 terabytes of blade RAM
  • 1.3 petabytes of storage
• 360,000 text strings and some two million words
• They have created more than 1.5 million assets
• 900,000 web files

So maybe you should whine a little less?

lol a man can build a thousand bridges but you mess with just one BG and you're no longer a bridge builder you're that guy that took away easy mode leveling :P
I seriously think I might be the only person that's not impressed with those numbers, I always figured it would take a bit more to keep 11 million people worldwide complaining :P

Ask any IT person - any real IT person, and they'll tell you: It don't matter if you F up one server, or a thousand servers....F'ing up is F'ing up.

But seriously, 20k/1.3PB is really not that much.
