We understand you all worked very hard on this new patch blizzard and everyone appreciates the effort, but even you guys are mortal and make mistakes sometimes. I think this may be one of those rare times. My fun factor in this game just took a nose dive after this patch.
Undead need to be changed back to undead. Its what they are, its what the lore says, its what undead players want to be.
Undead need to be able to breath under water, not just hold their breath 3x as long.. very bad imersion breaking change and very uncessary.
Undead need their immunities to be more then 20 seconds long and only when they activate it. Seriously just put it back to the way it was before.
Paladins had a unique role and they liked it. Undead players knew that with their great immunity powers came the price of paladin weakness. You took the unique role a paladin had and threw it out the window. GIVE it back to them. Lots of paladins lived for this.
Reagent costs are a horrible idea, they are way too expensive, and even if you lowered the price they are jsut frustrating and annoying, this is not a good way to get money out of the economy. Think of a fun way to do it. I realize that casinos, make over shops, etc.. would all be optional but they can and have worked for other MMOs. Reagan costs HURT community, players will no longer buff other players to be friendly. Reeagant costs HURT grouping, because I know my group will no longer be getting Holy Word Fortitude and certainly will not be getting ports out unless they pay me in advance. Reagant costs take up inventory space... we need it with all the quest items we have filling it up already.
Water walking is no longer a viable pvp strategy, you ruined that big time. It is now simply a travel spell. There are ways to make water walking balanced without ruining the pvp strategy. Why not make it last 1 minute? that would prevent camping on water with large armies but would still allow limited use of the tactic. The way it is now 1 shot cancels the spell = unuseable. You destroyed a very fun and unique spell that could have otherwise been balanced in a way even the alliance wouldent mind.
Pummel? where did it go? Im not a huge warrior fan, but if im not mistaken, what does a Non-Tauren non-protection spec'd warrior use to interupt casters now? be forced into one play style IE sword & shield so they can use shield bash once every 15 seconds, that is not going to cut it.
Im not a paladin player, but I hear paladins also have a lot of issues with their nwe ability line up compared to their old one (not talking about talents).
There are many other things that im sure im not including, but the issues with this patch are huge. I like some things (kodo mounts, racial traits except undead, etc.) but they are being overshadowed by these hugely negative changes.
I think fun, variety, uniqueness > money sinks, extreme balance, frustration.
So every1 makes mistakes, jsut play it out adn wait for them to fix it.
