World Of Warcraft Cataclysm A Cataclysmic Failure Part II

Well,


Its been a few months since my last review of World Of Warcraft Cataclysm and I'm not sure what I can say other than its still a Cataclysmic Failure. Blizzard just released a new patch and some new content, it looks like what they have tried to do is bribe the Tank and Healer classes with some goodie bags in order to try and entice them to que up more for the random Instances.


This in my opinion is just another failure! what Blizzard has done is reward bad behaviour these classes have all ready had an over blown sense of self importance due to game dynamics that make them seem to be more important than DPS classes. Blizzard/World Of Warcraft should have been working on making all classes important to a groups success rather than feeding the Tanks and healers more stuff.


One might argue that the wait times for new content are high still at the 30 to 45 min for DPS classes on the Blackwater Raider server for heroic top end content due a shortage of Tanks and Healers and an over abundance of DPS classes so you need to entice the tank and healers to join these randoms, what I have found is this has made tanks and healers feel even more untouchable for rude and plain asshole like behaviour, while it alienates the DPS (damage per second) classes even more and hey Blizzard if those classes are your bread and butter subscribers why do that? 


Perhaps Blizzard should have been using the time to make the DPS classes more important after all if they are the majority of players why alienate them from the game even more? Also why not open up the DPS classes to more servers/Batlegroups to lessen wait times as opposed to bribes? 


In the end I think the game is still broke and losing players because of this type of game design and dynamics, some people say the game has lost 2 million players although this might be due to some licensing problems with chinese servers or maybe the game content has just caused people to leave after all you can only take so much abuse from both players that have been given a sense of entitlement through bribes/gifts from Blizzard and Blizzard seeming to be willing to ignore the problems that the DPS classes are having because of this and game design. 


What else can I say If you like playing a DPS class hold off buying the expansion there are still just too many problems for those classes, if you are good at being a tank or healer you will be fine. 


In ending I want to know what you think, maybe you are on a different server and you have different experiences?  maybe things are much better on your server? or worse though thats hard to imagine. Maybe you have a much different opinion about whats going on? I want to know about what you have been experiencing  and thinking please leave  comments.

World Of Warcraft Cataclysm A Cataclysmic Failure

Well its been a bit over a month since the newest expansion from Blizzard the creators of World Of Warcraft Cataclysm and I thought its about time I gave a review and some opinions on this newest release.

Now what can I say I feel like I got conned out of sixty bucks World of Warcraft Cataclysm is a Cataclysmic failure. Now I would like to get into some of the reasons why I feel this way. There are many bugs with questing in one case I was unable to quest in a zone because none of the quest-givers would give me the quests, sending in a ticket gets the response of we are aware of this thank you. This is a common response to numerous bug reports even though the game did go through a beta testing period.

The biggest problem though are wait times for dungeons for regular ones it averages twenty minutes for Damage Per Second classes it gets even worse at the heroic level with on average forty five minute wait times, this gets even more frustrating with the kick system being abused it's not uncommon to wait 45 minutes to help out in a heroic dungeon only to get kicked at boss fights. So on average you Que. wait 45 minutes play for a bit and repeat, this is in no way fun and really limits how you can progress in the game.

Now some might say try going the player versus player bit for gear, well the random battleground wait times average again about 20 minutes, so again its becoming wait play for a bit wait some more, in no way in my opinion is this a fun gameplay experience.

My advice to anyone that has not bought the expansion is keep your money and wait at least till you start to hear that Blizzard has made some moves to address these gameplay issues and for those of us that all ready spent the money well get ready for a really cataclysmic gaming experience.

 I'm interested in your thoughts did you have a the same experience or did you have a good one? I want to know feel free to leave your comments.
