How can a company like Blizzard be such an extreme failure full of incompetence?
I work for blizzard. Classic is much bigger than we expected and also the launch spike dies off quickly so the queues are a short term problem
Bentley Foster
user, please, the question was clearly rhetorical.
Carter Cooper
.... joke? Diablo 3 was a shit show. I beat the whole game on the hardest mode in 5 days, then started farming like a madman only to find the game absolutely riddled with bugs which constantly crashed you and deleted your progress in a dungeon. The press tore Blizzard to shreds over D3 which ultimately led to (1) them offering no questions asked refunds to EVERY PLAYER and (2) firing the entire team.
I don’t know what happened after that because I quit but what a truly awful disappointment that game turned out to be.
Xavier Phillips
Yeah and now you have people committed to the original servers and refuse to switch. So we're gonna end up with 5 servers that have queues for the next year and then a bunch of dead ones.
Lincoln Long
Is there even still a company like that out there?
Chinks actually used to make good games back in the SNES period
It definitely feels like it. Just sub, goyim.
Austin Gomez
I live in IL and publicly traded companies need to have nogs and women on their executive boards by law
Dominic Hall
You don't work for Blizzard but this is how they think.
At this rate I can imagine people say fuck this and refuse to login. Most people coming back have a life/job and can't bother spending 100% of their free time staring at a login screen.
Benjamin Nelson
As much as I wanted to play I’m glad I avoided this shit show, I vowed years ago I would never give blizzard any more money...fuck em, I got my vanilla fix on private servers
Liam Morgan
yeah, look at the team of VIDT
Levi Cook
Yeah but it affects everyone. Even employees have to wait in the queues, I just went to a less populated realm
Colton Price
Just made this one. I've already been in queue for 3 hours now. About 6 more to go.
This is basically a microcosm of what the world looks like under socialism.
Kevin Harris
If you took weeks off work for this, literally kys
Lincoln Gutierrez
KEK
Thomas Jackson
topkek.
people waited 10+ years for this man, its a once in a lifetime event (it was supposed to be anyway) but feel free to sit between some spics in tent for 3 weeks like other normies.
Henry Lewis
Holy shit
Jordan Carter
i want to be sexy bloody elf holy pal
Aaron Phillips
Look it up. This state is fucked.
David James
>launch spike dies off quickly but this definitely doesnt have to do with server queues
Adrian Evans
Because they know most of you won't be playing in 2 months after the nostalgia fades away. While scale up the infrastructure when this shit will lose 90% of its playerbase in 6 months?
John Foster
This.
Normalfags that never played an MMORPH are retarded beyond measure.
Grayson Murphy
It's not like Fortnite, Norman.
WoW has actually grown literally every year from Classic all the way to Wrath of the Lich King, at which point they changed the game so drastically it wasn't having any of the original core values like social interaction and working for your status/loot.
Dylan Jones
Should one sell ATVI or wait after Blizzcon?
Alexander Edwards
>Chinks actually used to make good games back in the SNES period All of the great games from that era were made by japanese companys (Nintendo, Sony, SEGA, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Konami) and japs are the asian whites like argentinians are the latino whites.
Cameron Nelson
After, it’s a big Blizzcon
Levi Torres
Good point
Gooks are superior to chinks
Colton Mitchell
Like they give a fuck, they make shitloads off not providing a product.
Not like they're going to get a class action against them or something actually serious.
Hudson Ward
>Chinks actually used to make good games Did you mean gooks? Gooks are still making good games
>argies are the latino whites dont let an argie hear that their ego would inflate so much he'd fly away
Gavin Ross
Diablo 3 was a big disappointment What a piece of shit at release
Hudson Garcia
The real question
Dylan Long
Up 10% in recent weeks. HODL. They can't possibly fuck up BlizzCon as much as last year. >Is this an out of season April Fool's joke? >50% drop in share price
Easton Stewart
D3 is actually pretty good now if you play the seasons. The cheevo hunting makes the grind tolerable and challenges for crazy gear sets is fun.
Elijah Adams
>They can't possibly fuck up BlizzCon as much as last year
I literally played the launch in 2004 faggot, all you retards reactivating your accounts for this cashgrab are pathetically trying to revive the past not realizing it will never live up to your expectations because you're not 14 anymore.
Vanilla was very slow and grind oriented, this was counterbalanced by the feeling of novelty with the scale and atmosphere, two things to which everyone is accustomed to these days. But have fun farming the easter, plaguelands 2 hours a day for 1 month straight like a chink just to get 100% mount and enchants, there are no chance you will get bored from that right?
The principle behind the feeling of novelty is that it happens only once for something.
Jeremiah Williams
>questioning anything while being a wow loser This is why you’ll never make it faggot
Jaxson Green
>They can't possibly fuck up BlizzCon as much as last year In the age of modern companies being shells of the businesses you knew a decade ago, you'd be surprised.
Expect a lazy WC3 remaster too with 100% reused WoW assets
Noah Adams
i made it exactly 80 mins ago. im at 5200 now
Angel Morris
might as well be infinity >you come back from work >tend to the garden >have dinner >bang your waifu >have a smoke and a drink >*lets fire up that WoW and go back in time to simpler days where I leveled my undead mage to become boss status after clearing BWL and AQ40 >Queue is >10,000 and wait time is 400 mins the absolute state of gaming in (current year + 4) they have to fire these affirmative action hires yesterday and do a purge of the filth and rabble (((accountants))) who penny pinch and can't even deliver a product to the same quality that they were able to before 15 years ago.
Stay logged on even if you aren't playing to ruin the experience for everyone else
Liam Bell
Spot on
Aaron Bell
Good idea
Caleb Reed
Thats why you're supposed to get in the queue when you arrive home, lol.
The release was shit either way, though. These queues are ridiculous and Blizz should get class action lawsuit for this shit.
Jayden Scott
Private Servers have existed for years and many with a lot of content available. Why anyone would be continuing to support this financially past their current subscription is beyond me
Jose Mitchell
>Thats why you're supposed to get in the queue when you arrive home yeah that's not the solution at all I have a career already videogames aren't my career they're something I do when I have leisure time (which is at a higher premium now compared to 15 years ago) >The release was shit either way, though 15 years later and the release is worse now talk about stagnation and delirium in technology their employees are killing their companies 1 based white man 15 years ago has now been replaced by affirmative action hires is it any wonder that they can't launch the same product as well as they did almost two decades ago
Playing in private servers is meaningless because they are not the real thing. It's like buying a colorful glass instead of a gemstone. As far as I know you don't have to pay more to play classic.
>yeah that's not the solution at all
Yes, that is a solution if you're looking for one in this situation. If you want to play with these queues being around you opt in the queue when you arrive home.
Christian Edwards
>As far as I know you don't have to pay more to play classic you don't retail WoW will be moving to mobile over the years classic WoW will be for the pc master race
Given that the old original devs left there is nothing special about official classic
Aaron Lopez
Yet it's still the official one.
Kayden Richardson
I can't think of any PC game more incompatible for mobile than WOW
Juan Rogers
nost and kronos were fine some bugs but pvp and drop rates were blizzlike and lets not pretend classic doesnt have bugs fungal spores dont spawn and my wc run yesterday had runner mobs running indefinitely in one direction until hitting a wall which agrod other packs and wiped us twice so how is classic the gemstone? because the kikes at activision blizzard branded it "official blizzard classic"?
Dominic Parker
It's just the difference between official and unofficial. You'd think that people understand that there is a difference between them. I don't like private servers because they are unofficial.
Jonathan Hill
>Is there even still a company like that out there?
Why do you think the economy is burning down all around us?
Noah Sanders
they did it to Diablo they will do it to retail WoW
they had the computing power and servers, they could make it without any overloads, they even stated it, but they didnt do it cuz its waste of cash, people will just meme about it and drop, theyd deploy them for no reason so they didnt OP
Liam Rivera
you've been deeply kiked
Owen Ross
Blizzard Activision merger. Game mergers are always about greed and not about making good video games. It was so obvious their change of direction soon as it happened. And the usual statements, DONT WORRY GUYS, THIS ISNT ABOUT GREED WE JUST WANT TO MAKE BETTER VIDEO GAMES! NOTHINGS GOING TO CHANGE! And now you have your proof that could not be presenting more obviously. They suck so bad they have to rerelease their games from a time before they fucked it up, like Square Soft.
Diablo 3 was the canary in the coal mine. Just a topdown reskinned version of WoW. It was clear right there they ran out of ideas and just wanted to make a quick buck. Then more quick bucks followed. Starcraft 2 were you buy 1/3 of the game at a time. HotS, just reskin LoL. Hearthstone, seamed more like a petproject than anything they actually cared about. Overwatch appears to be the only thing they have done were they game a modicum of shits about but it was in development from before the merger. Net up is their biggest embarrassment, Diablo Mobile, with Desperationmancer.
Joshua Lopez
They will just homogenize the game a little more. Its not like that piece of shit even resembles the good game that people used to like. Just combine/remove most of the skills and cram it on a phone.
Ayden Robinson
Lolno
Ryan Johnson
A lot of people are setting up remote access to their PC so they can queue an hour or so before they leave work
Kevin Stewart
Now to think about it this is actually a good idea to sell in november. It'll be about the primetime when people will be burned out and the nostalgia googles fall off and probably the upcoming tiananmen 2.0 will make the chinks disappear, so will 50% of WoW's population.
Colton Ward
Incompetent? They're fucking geniuses. They know you little faggots have NO stamina, and will quit before Xmas, and they don't want to waste perfectly good rack space on your little nostalgia trip.
Reminder: every person waiting 6 hours in line PAID up front.
They win.
Kevin Jackson
>I literally played the launch in 2004 Supposedly everyone you talk to about the game has, which is pretty odd considering the age demographic of this website
Easton Moore
my actual autist bro quit on day 2 back to final fantasy
Dylan Edwards
lmao, and people wonder why everything in the west is stagnant or declining
Landon Peterson
ATVI isn't a pump or dump stock, it's value in the investment arena is it's an attractive dividend stock. All the 401k dudes are loaded up on it.
Jace Gutierrez

Camden Morales
>15 years later and the release is worse now >talk about stagnation and delirium in technology
kek, this. gaming indudstry, as well as hardware (graphic cards and processors) have truly stagnated badly. it's so bad almost going backwards in advancements of technology
How is it odd? Most of us here are between 25 and 35, zoomers are on shits like discord or reddit and the ones here tend to go on /b/ or Jow Forums because it's the edgy places, they are too young to have a job.
Nathan Reed
>Most of us here are between 25 and 35 I haven't seen a single poll backing that up
James Gray
>the launch spike dies off quickly so the queues are a short term problem Now if that's a bait, it's a good one. Otherwise this is pure female logic at works. > we are failing as expected, so it's not a fail. It's the evil incels overloading our servers. And when everyone leaves it is the launch spike as we have correctly predicted. Save the oceans from plastic straws and have sex, incel.
Chase Collins
>Classic is much bigger than we expected
so how many months of hype do you retards need exactly to get the memo?
Hunter Bennett
You mean Diablo 2
Christian Perez
They could have easily figured out the expectation by having an actual open beta instead of top goys only
Luis Mitchell
your boss fucked this up bro big time
Cameron Reed
You’re misinterpreting what I wrote. Most content beats in a video game has an initial spike which then decays sharply. The increase before launch was a lot faster than normal expansions, so total subs have been underestimated. That’s literally all I meant.
Ryan Reed
Cmon man. That's like delivering a working product before ICO
Aiden Moore

Dominic Torres
they happened this year on PBE server to test TFT (league), then they released the mode by servers , and they took like 4 DAYS to release this to other servers.
PBE que to login was 20+ hours, and TFT stayed on Twitch at #1 spot, same like WoW does now.
who the fuck cares about WoW 4 months before 2020. people already ruined their lifes on this game, kids won't get hooked on this, and there's no money in it.
