The WoW balance team is comprised of howler monkeys who behave exactly like how Yahtzee describes in the "Duke Nukem Forever" review.

Really, it's the only way I can rationalize how that game was managed.

No.WoW's balance team is mostly comprised of the Everquest's top guild "Fires of Heaven" ppl(or that is what ppl whisper ).Who boicoted everquest so ppl can jump into wow.If that wouldnt not happen,wow would not had such great start,because everquest is still one of the contenders for PvE content.

Kalgan was in it as some of them. For those who arent familiarized with Kalgan,he is rumored to be the developer to keep the retri pala nerfed during Vanilla ,or that is the rumored,i tell u what i heard.



And regarding wow's balance,blizz didnt agreed giving each spell a PvE and PvP effect to make those 2 departments balanced accordingly.By doing so,every buff/nerf to a spell who tryed to balance/nerf its PvE effect,nerfed/balanced its PvP effect also,increasing the imbalance.

U can call it the "WoW balance enthropy effect" .

Huh.

I actually liked the not-being-able-to-hold-down-keys thing. Anything that makes the game harder and increases the skill ceiling imo

Holy fuck man I couldn't facepalm at this more. Tapping a key repeatedly is not skill. That is how you break your keyboard. 'Skill' is based more on decision making and unit control, not bashing your keyboard faster than your opponent.

It is well-known history that Tigole (one of their lead "balance consultants") was the long time leader of Legacy of Steel from the Nameless Server in old-skool EQ.

He literally got that position by having a history of posting "these things should be done to make this encounter more fun" and Sony inexplicably changing exactly those things suggested.

Blizzard offered to pay him money for the same services.

Believe it or not, people DO find long careers out of being gamer geeks that can put the game first.

This information is on page 144 of the PTR thread, but I figured it would be good to make a separate thread just to announce it as that thread is somewhat old, and I doubt a lot of people have read it. To be concise, Blizzard is reverting the following changes in the 1.2 patch based on the feedback from the PTR:

1) Bunker build time reduction removed as previously noted

2) Fungal Growth’s terrestrial limitation has been removed and the ability once again affects air units

3) It will once again be possible to hold down a key to repeat a hotkey command
