Season 4 griev. gear!
Hello everyone!
Just want to point Finger on obvious. MoP have no changes from season 1 and we now see Season 4 with same gear. We know main thing is WOTLK right now, but MoP is left untouched ( do ppl care about those events GMs make ) some do but main thing that server is waiting for is Updates on PvP.
Lets make a Xmas Wish list that out players would like to see:
Wargames
Rest of BGs ( this is wish from season 1)
one more Arena map
Update to Prideful gear
Now this is something to note. i have seen like x2 of main pvp guilds in MoP just Leaving server cause of lack of Updates for pvp.
Now i don't even believe you Guys will update anything so most likely gonna leave server. ( Do something about it MOLTEN/WARMANE )

Prideful gear will not be released until the content on the PvE side is on par with PvP progress and that can't happen until we have the server-backbone functions that we require in order to develop the SoO instance and introduce various other fixes.
For this as you probably know, we need the 5.4.8 patch. This is pretty much general knowledge at this point and I'm afraid right now it might seem to players that the development has stopped. It has not. All of the development progress is being poured into the new patch, which is also being tested by our QA.
Q: Why is it taking so long?
A: Engineers that can reverse the code are pretty rare. Proper good ones, are even rarer. We only have one that is capable of doing this and on top of that there's several issues that we face so various different systems need to be rebuilt.
Q: Which systems?
A: Systems that make the game work. For example, simple things such as opposite faction language, ignore function and many others need to be implemented. MoP emulation at it's best is a mess and even though there's multiple leaks and open-source stuff it's not really on the par of the quality that we want it to be. That's why we're working on re-building some of these systems from scratch to better provide a working environment for our developers so they can script stuff.
Q: Why is sometimes hard for a developer to fix a simple thing?
A: This is a common misconception, some things may seem simple but in fact are not. For example, the vendors being bugged wasn't a simple thing to fix even though players conceive it as such.
Q: Are you doing anything about getting more developers?
A: Yes, we are looking for talent always and have recruited some to work on MoP. We can't let people who aren't qualified work on our realms, only the skilled can work here as it requires a lot of time and effort.
Q: Why is MoP devlog taking so long?
A: Person in charge of the writing the MoP devlog is also the head of the development. This is a high-responsibility position and takes a lot of time and work, it's certainly not easy and time for writing these needs to be separated. It involves going through the internal BugTracker and going through commits on our repositories and converting development 'jibberish' into actual understandable human language so the players can understand it. It's a much harder task to do than most think and needs sufficient time. The ETA given a week ago didn't count in some other things that popped and needed to be taken care of. This devlog is in it's last phase and should be available very soon.
Q: BGs?
A: They're on 5.4.8, 2 of them and more to come.
Q: Spell fixes?
A: A decent amount of them are on 5.4.8 and we have a very skilled developer working on these.
Q: Anti-cheat?
A: Needs to be perfected on Lordaeron and then it can be ported over. It's a passive anti-cheat and should fight off any hackers, no matter the programs. It has a lot of improvements to go before being perfect but we're happy with it so far.
Q: Holiday events?
A: Yes.
Q: Gifts?
A: Ho-ho. Maybe a bit of coal.
Q: Wargames?
A: Functionality exists, needs to be polished for it to completely work. You've probably seen this from our 1v1 Tournaments.

Q: BGs?
A: They're on 5.4.8, 2 of them and more to come.
Will there be a New System for BGs in next patch. Horde vs Horde or Ali vs Ali system even for Random BGs? i'm really interested in that just cause, right now there is so long BG ques for Ali but horde have instant ones even tho server is in Fine shape of balance in player numbers on both sides.
