| 17:01.10 | fewyn | no |
| 17:01.12 | Ward | it´s a side effect of implementing dozens of new features without testing them enough |

| 17:02.10 | Amarande | they had the largest beta ever, thanks to the annual pass perks |
| 17:02.37 | fewyn | but did people actually test |
| 17:02.40 | Amarande | yet, it seems like we've needed more first-month hotfixes needing realm reboots than all the expansions put together (except maybe when vanilla first came out, or maybe BC, I wasn't around for those) |
| 17:02.46 | fewyn | nah |

| 17:03.55 | Amarande | well, cata's more understandable, they pretty much redid the entire world |
| 17:04.07 | Amarande | and the cata beta wasn't all open like mop, to boot |
| 17:04.21 | Amarande | though, yeah, did people actually test |
| 17:04.30 | Amarande | or did most annual pass holders just take advantage of the access to D3 |
| 17:04.42 | fewyn | that and mess with char creation for pandas |
| 17:05.10 | JunkHead | ok. done with herbalism, alchemy and inscribtion. |
| 17:05.46 | Amarande | yeah, it's even said by some that the annual pass is why we have so many bugs |
| 17:06.21 | Amarande | that the future of WoW pretty much ultimately depended on MoP being out before the first crop of year-long contracts ended, bugs or no bugs |
| 17:06.58 | Amarande | although really. if it hadn't been out before the annual passes ended, what MMO would people be flocking to anyway? time has shown that WoW has yet to obtain any real true competitor. |
| 17:07.23 | Amarande | TOR petered out long before it became a question of WoW Annual Passes expiring and people defecting. |
| 17:07.48 | Amarande | Hence why it's being fitted into, as one games article put it, a "microtransacted iron lung" |
| 17:08.15 | Amarande | Hence why I start to wonder if DA3 will be BioWare's last major release of any note, thinking of that and the history of companies that EA has acquired over the years |
| 17:08.49 | Amarande | (and, with luck, DA3 won't be shoved out the door half-finished like Ultima IX.) |
| 17:09.29 | Amarande | Unfortunately, the evolution of Dragon Age/BioWare and Ultima/Origin feels eerily similar. :( |
| 17:09.29 | JunkHead | Are WoW conspiracy theories all you ever think about? |
| 17:10.25 | Amarande | Junk: well, apparently it's been said a major reason we got MoP in early autumn rather than around the holidays like expansions usually hit, was because they wanted to make absolutely sure it was out before the Annual Passes started expiring and people started jumping ship because there was STILL nothing to do but Dragon Soul |
| 17:10.45 | JunkHead | uh huh |
| 17:10.46 | JunkHead | yeah |
| 17:11.06 | Amarande | and given that the number of realm restarts since it's been out suggests that it could have used a bit more testing? :| |
| 17:11.24 | JunkHead | I just don't really think about that. |
| 17:11.26 | Amarande | (sure, there's cata, but we can give cata more of a pass, since it was an entire world retool) |
| 17:11.38 | JunkHead | Why sit around and think about it? |
| 17:11.44 | JunkHead | OH SHIT! |

| 17:12.02 | JunkHead | MAYBE THE RESTARTS ARE DUE TO BLIZZARD IMPLEMENTING REAL MONEY AH INTO WOW |
| 17:12.03 | Amarande | What occurred to me is that Blizzard is paranoid of losing WoW subscriptions |
| 17:12.09 | JunkHead | OMFG! |
| 17:12.43 | Amarande | Except, given the MMO market as it is and the fact that TOR (the latest game touted as "hey, WoW, your number is up!" when it was coming out) didn't really succeed ... what would they lose WoW subscriptions TO? |
| 17:13.04 | JunkHead | WoW will kill itself. |
| 17:13.13 | JunkHead | WoW is it's own WoW Killer. |
| 17:13.30 | Amarande | Especially also considering that the non-online RPG market seems to have been on the wane since MMOs started getting popular. |
| 17:13.53 | Amarande | Basically, then, business logic suggests: if you're planning a release based around that you're worried about losing customers ... |
| 17:14.05 | Amarande | Doesn't losing customers usually have to mean there's some serious competition to lose them *to*? |
| 17:14.13 | fewyn | typically |

| 17:14.42 | JunkHead | I bet some don't even play games. |
| 17:14.43 | fewyn | just not mmos |

| 17:15.24 | Amarande | nor RPG to fast action twitch games in general |
| 17:15.28 | Amarande | I mean, let's put it this way |

| 17:15.34 | JunkHead | I play BF3 also. |
| 17:15.37 | Paarn | people just like to scream at WoW |
| 17:15.50 | Paarn | and the number of bugs is realtively low |
| 17:15.50 | Amarande | I tried Devil May Cry 3, for instance, when I found it cheap at the local gaming store |
| 17:16.01 | Paarn | and server restarts compared to hours long maintence and/or downtime |
| 17:16.03 | Amarande | I didn't get very far in it. There is a reason for this, and that's that I suck at fast action twitch games |
| 17:16.16 | fewyn | i prefer restarts to 8 hour maint |
| 17:16.24 | JunkHead | Paarn - I love the constant restarts aas opposed to long maintenance. |
| 17:16.26 | Amarande | Paarn: before MoP, we didn't really get server restarts on a nearly-daily basis like we've been lately |

| 17:17.04 | Paarn | doesn't make sense |
| 17:17.15 | Amarande | Paarn: also, comparing this xpac to the previous ones I've been around for the beginning of |
| 17:17.20 | Paarn | Hellfire crashed constantly |
| 17:17.30 | Paarn | Cata had restarts |
| 17:17.30 | Amarande | I don't remember them restarting the servers constantly early in LK. Maybe in Cata but not nearly as often as they've been doing it in MoP |
| 17:17.50 | Ward | I remember a ton of rolling restarts when ICC was patched in |
| 17:17.58 | Paarn | indeed |
| 17:18.06 | Amarande | Ward: probably more to do with LFD than ICC, I imagine |
| 17:18.06 | Paarn | I think it's perception versus reality |
| 17:18.13 | fewyn | just remember this is new content |
| 17:18.18 | fewyn | on TONS of servers |
| 17:18.22 | fewyn | in a live enviroement |
| 17:18.29 | fewyn | not the same as the testing neviroment |
| 17:19.14 | JunkHead | So, what you're saying, is because Blizz is having to do so many restarts, it's because MoP isn't as good as Cata, and Blizz is probably brain washing us players, and OH SHIT they have our credit card numbers, so they know where we live and are probably implanting data into our bodies through our ears using headphones. OMG THATS RIGHT THERE IS A WOW HEADSET! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW |
| 17:19.44 | JunkHead | Ok so, Blizz will control us players by controlling our brains using wow branded headsets. so we keep pumping money into their schemes. |
| 17:19.46 | Amarande | Well, I mean, *perhaps*, that they should have given it a couple extra months testing and released it around the holidays, like they did with cata and LK |
| 17:20.02 | Ward | blizz doesn´t have my creditcard number |
| 17:20.08 | Ward | I pay with prepaid cards or ideal |
| 17:20.16 | JunkHead | But... why release it closer to the holidays? the world is gonna end in december. |
| 17:20.27 | JunkHead | Ward - THEY STILL HAVE IT!!! |
| 17:20.31 | Ward | nah |

| 17:20.36 | Ward | nope |
| 17:20.39 | JunkHead | YUP |
| 17:20.41 | Ward | impossible |
| 17:20.45 | JunkHead | OK well... |
| 17:20.47 | Ward | I have no creditcard |

| 17:21.18 | Ward | I have a prepaid mastercard |
| 17:21.30 | JunkHead | Oh, well then you're screwed then. |
| 17:21.30 | Ward | don´t need a creditcard if you live in europe |
| 17:21.41 | JunkHead | Blizz invented mastercard, |
| 17:21.52 | JunkHead | Sorry. |
| 17:22.09 | Ward | but I invented money |
| 17:22.10 | Ward | . |
| 17:22.19 | JunkHead | yeah but are you.... |
| 17:22.24 | JunkHead | A LIZARD PERSON!? |
| 17:22.56 | Amarande | However, as I understand it, they started offering the annual pass about this same time last year. So, if MoP hadn't been out, people would find their contract obligation was over, and wonder why they should keep paying and playing when it's still the same content that was out when they locked into the year, right? |
| 17:23.07 | Amarande | Except ... what would they switch to playing if they dropped WoW? |
| 17:23.09 | *** join/#wowhead Torhal (~torhal@c-71-207-224-241.hsd1.al.comcast.net) |
| 17:23.53 | Amarande | TOR didn't retain subscriptions well, which gives a corresponding suggestion about how well it keeps long term players in general. LOTRO, maybe, if you can stomach the increasing trend towards a pay to win model, but ... |
| 17:24.18 | JunkHead | Actually, now that I think about, I FINALLY got a beta invite to Planetside 2 yesterday. |
| 17:24.25 | JunkHead | I might download that while at work tomorrow. |
| 17:24.27 | Amarande | I can't imagine the populace who plays traditional video games or MMOs switching en masse to, say, Facebook games. |
| 17:24.28 | fewyn | i have a ps2 beta invite |
| 17:24.30 | fewyn | haven't touched it |
| 17:24.46 | JunkHead | My friend loved it. But they did a patch that he hated so he quit. |
| 17:25.00 | Amarande | Words With Friends is fun, mind you, but the idea of going from traditional gaming to a game where you take one or two turns a day on average probably doesn't sit well with most gamers. |
| 17:36.55 | fewyn | let's play the connecting game |
| 17:38.19 | Already | Amarande some of them could be playing Eve |
| 17:39.02 | Already | Maybe like 0.05% or so. ;) |
| 17:40.33 | Paarn | it would be nice if there was a compelling option to balance WoW |
| 17:41.49 | fewyn | arenas were a horrible idea from a balancing standpoint |
| 17:42.08 | Already | having to play fair would be nice "option" too. But that's not going to happen. ;) |
| 17:42.25 | Amarande | how would you judge "fair", anyway, in a game like WoW |
| 17:43.02 | Amarande | you mean things like mobs not being able to 100% avoid your ranged attack just because, oh boohoobie, they can't reach you to have a chance to fight back? |
| 17:43.19 | *** join/#wowhead Primar (~nnscript@host86-175-212-140.wlms-broadband.com) |
| 17:43.37 | Amarande | mind you, I've tended to think the evade feature is rather illogical, having come from earlier RPGs and even some shooters where taking advantage of things like that is part and parcel of good strategy |
| 17:43.49 | Amarande | OTOH, without it, we'd have even more of a tank shortage than we already do, for starters LOL |
| 17:44.18 | Paarn | it would make designing terrain much more difficult as well |
| 17:44.50 | Amarande | (primarily because of the combination of that a, all tanks are melee, and b, who would roll melee in such a case when they can do infinitely better for themselves by rolling ranged and taking advantage of the terrain like so?) |
| 17:45.57 | Paarn | the game design would change as well, you'd likely see more mobs with the ability to fly/jump and have abilities like deathgrip |
| 17:48.27 | Already | Amarande I was more thinking about the pvp site. Like not killing me while being out of the game for half a minute and not killing players which just freshly came back from the graveyard. |
| 17:49.26 | Amarande | yeah, the graveyard respawn is a tad long, indeed |
| 17:49.35 | Already | I'd really like to transfer to a pve server for that but i just can't afford it/don't want to |
| 17:50.12 | Amarande | (and sometimes I get this paranoid feeling when I do the occasional BG and die, that the Horde players keep track - maybe through addons - of the graveyard timers and try to time our deaths just so, in order that we're hors de combat the maximum amount of time each time) |
| 17:51.12 | JunkHead | Oh damn guys! I just got an invitation to the Mists of Pandaria Beta Test! |
| 17:51.30 | Amarande | especially in, say, WSG where given the objectives and the smaller group size, it's much more valuable to keep players out of battle as much as possible rather than to rack up maximum kills |
| 17:52.03 | Paarn | sounds legit, junkhead, you should download the exe file attached |
| 17:52.19 | JunkHead | I did! |
| 17:52.28 | JunkHead | I was relieved that it was only 640kb |
| 17:52.31 | Amarande | JunkHead: don't forget the attached beta test terms, found in the appropriately named file LIFE_STAGES.TXT |

| 17:55.24 | JunkHead | although the server status page shows my realm as up |

| 18:02.16 | fewyn | it's an exploit |
| 18:02.23 | fewyn | probably what the server restarts were about |
| 18:03.49 | Paarn | that's why I mentioned it :) |
| 18:04.00 | Amarande | *rolls eyes* |
| 18:04.02 | fewyn | the login servers are still dead tho |
| 18:04.06 | Amarande | people do this why, exactly? |
| 18:04.12 | fewyn | because they can |
| 18:05.44 | Still | That's one serious exploit then |
| 18:06.22 | Amarande | I haven't been to SW for more than a few short moments at all today, so ... :S |
| 18:06.27 | Amarande | hmm, come to think of it, what did I do in SW |
| 18:06.36 | fewyn | i don't goto stormwind |
| 18:06.38 | fewyn | i'm an engineer |
| 18:06.50 | Amarande | I logged into my mage, clicked the mailbox to collect my AH money, and then switched to my druid who's in Darnassus to do minor inscription research, then to my warlock to continue questing in Badlands |
| 18:07.02 | Amarande | so I've seen SW for a total of about ... a minute or so all day, heh |
| 18:08.03 | Domh | ahh. Can't log in, can't log in, can't log in. /panic and go annoy IRC |
| 18:08.03 | Amarande | and at this point I reckon my warlock probably isn't seeing a city again till 60 |
| 18:08.31 | Amarande | since after Badlands it's all on rails ... Searing Gorge, on to Burning Steppes, on to Swamp of Sorrows, on to Blasted Lands, and finally back to a city to pick up flying mount training at 60 |
| 18:10.43 | Still | flying mount .. on to outlands! |
