Just when you thought they couldn't complain about anything else....

Quote:
All the Horde characters Slouch over with a bad posture, and I know a large if not all of the playerbase agrees with me. The way Tauren look is actually good. They have a natural kind of slouch to them...Blizzard, please give the Horde races good posture, there's no real reason not to.

Lol... if you look at the character models in all their games, the trolls and orcs are always hunched over. Undead are animated piles of bones, its amazing they can even stand semi-upright, and i personally thought the tauren didnt look that great because their natural hump doesnt seem to occur until about even with the shoulders.

LOL!!!

I can't believe that was posted in the general forums.

Ok, I have a suggestion... have a way to inport characters from one server to another... on day 60 after going live, allow for a mega event...

Beta Tester Whiners vs Beta Wannabes

Have it Red v Blue or what every... faction doesn't matter

So we don't exclude anyone, those beta testers who did thier jobs without complaining can feel free to join Wannabes and anyone that wants to help the whiners can. It would be awesome to have a nothing more than whats on your back grudge match with all the whiners.

Yes, I'm a Beta Wannabe looking in and there quite a few whiners both Alliance and Horde a like that I want to get my hands on just so I can do Blue a favor and beat some ***.

There are 1,000 people willing to take your whining asses places on the beta testing, but Blizzard let's you continue your circus. I truly don't understand why.

There is a difference between making suggestions and flaming people. Too many seem to think their sole reason for being brought in to beta test was to be able flame Blizzards employess and decisions the company makes on the official boards.

Why not just use /suggest /bug to voice your concerns? The reason is simple, you feel no one sees what you have to say. I guarantee you they do. I guarantee they care. It is THEIR game not yours. They may or may not get back with you or post information as fast as you want them to... but don't worry, they are there and you are being heard. Remember, you asked to beta test for them. It is THEIR time table, not yours. Blizzard will release info as THEY see fit, they will never beat to your personal drum.

Again, to the silent many beta testers who did their jobs, I salute you for a job well done. Keep up the good work...

For you whiners, I can't wait until I finally get in the game and I hope to meet up with you so we can say hello... WoW style.

Argh.. ihad to leave the beta forums before i suffered a cerebral shutdown. I gotta stop reading those, reading peoples moronic posts and not being able to post back is painful.... so painful..... going to sleep.... yes... the good sleep...... my brain...........

Anyways. Blizzard should have implemented an IP based rating system (so u can only rate once per IP) so that non-beta testers could rate the posts of beta testers, and once the beta testers rating got voted so low they got BOOTED and a new person picked to take their place in beta. It would promote intellegent conversation, and give me a better chance ;P. Or at the very least, stop people from posting at all and thus spare my brain cells.

Great idea...

Only one problem, most IP addresses around the globe are dynamic. I believe MAC address are constant. But your idea is awesome! Thought about sending in that suggestion to Blizzard?

how about this request from beta testers guys...

Many people are still complaining about Stormwind being a ghost town and how tragic it is considering its one of the better cities. If blizzard was to put a poker house in Stormwind I think this problem would be solved....Perhaps there can be a monthly poker tournament in both SW and TB where the top 10 winners from each tournament gain passage to a special poker tournament...I dont see how blizzard could avoid implementing something like this...

I cant believe these people are whining when theyve gotten to be the few who have been blessed with a closed beta account for a an awesome game, and arent paying a dime! Plus im tired of hearing people complaining about the bugs in the game. Beta s are supposed to be alittle fun, but mainly for finding and fixing bugs. No pain, no gain. Plus they keep saying the game isnt ready for release, they are just selfish. Some people on the WoW forums are actually spending time beta testing and look forward to beta and support blizz, thumbs up to you! But the others are a disgrace.

... /e dies.


Honestly though, that's ******* pathetic, they need to stop whining.

O.O Bad posture, what a ******, jesus christ, what are they suppose to do, stand straight up like gay humans, no.


Bah, gay beta testers. BOO TO BETA TESTERS.

the beta forums are quite pothetic. most of there problems are so superficial that the average idiot wouldnt even think about it. to think of something like this you have to be a special kind of idiot. i would have played the game with the troll hunched over walking on 4 legs and not said anything if thats how the game was made

To be quite honest, this IS a legitimate concern. People have issues with the way Horde looks because there is not one "pretty" race, which means there are a lot of people that won't play them for aesthetic reasons. I realize some of you will be thinking, "Good! It's Horde! They aren't supposed to be pretty!" But consider this: married couple wants to play WoW. Husband wants to play an undead warlock, but wife looks at the classes and goes "ick! I don't want to play any of those." So they end up going Alliance instead. Imagine that that couple is just two members of an Everquest guild that decided to move together, and that out of 60 people, 25 want to do Horde, 25 want to do Alliance, and 10 simply refuse to do Horde.

Now you're getting an imbalance on the two factions. Do this on the PvP server, and the imbalance of numbers begets a strong imbalance of numbers.

So while it might seem silly to you about people complaining about the way Horde members look, this has been discussed numerous times among the beta community. Some players were appalled when the female troll model was changed to something a lot less...troll-like. But for the very first time last night, I actually saw a female troll. Even dabbling with the Horde a little bit, I noticed that females in general are lacking on Horde, but that I also NEVER saw a troll. So maybe people are actually starting to play them, now that they've been un-whacked with da ugly stick.


As for the poker house in Stormwind, Stormwind IS a ghost town, and it is probably the most extensively developed city in the game. The city is amazing, and just seethes with life. It bespeaks of activity, and quite honestly, since the auction house moved...there isn't any. It's only slightly more populated than Darnassus, and only then because it is a central flight point hub for the continent with most of the low-end Alliance content. When I went there before the AH changes, Stormwind used to lag everyone HARD -- because there were so many people there. Now, I'm usually the only person in the bank, and I only run past a couple of people while doing business in town.

I find it funny how everyone bashes beta testers out of jealousy.

It's hard for a starving man to understand why a wealthy person in a fine restaurant is upset about there being too much salt in their soup. But the beta testers ARE supposed to be helping blizzard figure out how to make the best product they can. Unfortunately, the ones that post on the boards often choose to whine and rant instead of choosing a tone of helpful criticism.

As azurac points out, there are real implications to the discussions of horde appearance (although I happen to be on the side that would be appalled by turning the horde into ewoks). It's just too bad that many beta testers forget how fortunate they are to have been randomly selected, and now feel entitled to their dream game for free, with a healthy side of butt-kissing from blizzard reps.

I dont mind the topics being brought up, but when every other thread is NERF IT, then it gets kind of bad. Should really try and FIX some problems instead of nerfing them.
#16 Oct 22 2004 at 8:01 PM Rating: Decent
without a doubt. at this rate no class will have any personality. If balance is acheived by nerfing constantly, you end up with a bunch of equally uninteresting classes.
#17 Oct 23 2004 at 1:50 AM Rating: Decent
Thats true, they shouldn't be nerfing much, having all classes the same is balance without a point. They should try adding and taking in a balanced way, so content remains. But what can I say, maybe they are having a hard time doing it, maybe its not so easy to do it, and maybe nerfing is all they can do now...

About the people not helping in an orderly way and just screaming NERF IT, what do you expect? Its the Internet, where everyone is invited. There are all kind of bastards out there everywhere...
But for those beta testers that are really diong their job, good work guys!
