From bad, to worse....

Another day, another fucked up bug..

Great job on the patch tues Blizzard, since then it has been non stop bug after bug.
uber lag last night to now we have character selection issues.
The latest one, if you are lucky enough to get it is you are no longer able to log onto realms with your character on it! Realms with no character? Fine, log right on. But if you have a toon? forget it.
Oh and the work around they offer on the forums doesnt work, in fact, the only noticable change is that your selected server now shows that you dont have a character on it at all!

UNfucking believable.
I swear to god they are repeating the worst of SOEs mistakes to the point that Im fully expecting to log onto WoW to find that they "Broke Bards, again"

Did they start to believe their own hype to the degree that they believed that they wouldnt fuck things up this bad simply because they are Blizzard?
"I am the Blizzard King, I can do anything"
Its facinating watching 10 years of extreme goodwill and golden rep being flushed down the toliet by such grand incompetence.
We are decending from the lofty place this game should have, speeding downward past EQ1 stupidity... next stop, Anarchy Online level of idiocy.

10 points for the Jim Morrison/Doors ref.

Maybe they are simply "testing the bounds of reality"

Its like AO all over again.

Except AO had their shit together within 3 months.

It does seem to be getting worse. I just dont understand it. They should have this fucking bull by the horns now.

But I guess not.

Apparantly you don't read the WoW boards, not that I can blame you. Fanboism is alive and well. When you have a million customers what does it matter if oh say 100,000 get fed up and quit?

If you read enough posts you'll start believe the server issues are your fault, since you should of rerolled on a low pop server. Heck you'll even start to see that Blizzard is actually doing a good job by releasing new servers so you can't complain about being behind.

I'm pretty sure they are well past the point of SOEs worst mistakes.

I don't think EQ1 was this fucked up - ever. And that includes the luclin release and release of original EQ.

Dunno, I think they might need to have some spontaneous character deletions to reach that level of fuck-upedness.

I don't know man, unlimited range/instant delay/no z-axis ranger archery was pretty fucked up.

Sean can chime in on this one at any time...!

I highly recommend some of you go through the news archives on this site (which only dates back to early luclin) to jog your memory. Nostalgia is all well and good, but seriously, it could be worse (hell, it was).

oh, nice vid PT.
