5.4.8 news

[digitalyz]

I personally thought that 5.4.8 was gonna be released before the Wrath update on Lordaeron, there still is time but its gonna surprise me if they pull it off.

[cujo]

im sicken tired of hearing LORDAERON this LORDAERON that, maybe i should take a break from warmane for awhile.

[Mchaplain]

Pretty much nothing to do on retail, 0 content. I leveled up one character and got bored after few days playing on max level. Login > visit Garrison > play lfr > farm raids, dungeons from previous expansions for gold, transmog, mounts.

Lmao, love kretens like you.

"Got bored after few days playing on max level" "farm raids", nice try ******

Try and do at least half of the achis this guy did

Seriously.. more and more ******s saying the game is boring just because they hop on the bandwagon.

[Suffler]

history of the servers in the past 2 years (im excluding the pvp realms cuz those are a joke that isnt worth mentioning)

* 2 wotlk servers which had A TON of history and a huge database...both with around 2-3k players constantly that only played for the hope that one day ulduar will be released....eventually the population moved to pvp and the population slowly decreased
* 2 cata servers...both with around 500-1000 people in the queue, time passed, the developing was missing or very poor and no incentive to bring it to good state (as you read this, there are still basic bugs that are present there from the days i first joined a molten cata realm) = the realms died, there is only 1 cata realm atm that barelly has 2000 people on it
* 2 mop realms which summed up in around 9k players or more during peak times, yet again...the progress was slow but we understood that, then the things changed when the moltdown came upon this server...and when the focus was set to create lordaeron...the population diminished to a state that brought those 2 peaking servers to a single server that barelly has 4k players and no queues

i can understand that being the first realm to have a somewhat fully working realm is kind of an achievement...and believe it or not...many servers and server owners can do that on a core that doesnt involve a lot of personal phases like cata and even more in mop, the thing is...most of the people that can do that moved to more present times and are not stuck in the 1900 anymore
also, lord is a blizzard wannabe realm, so why state that "we disabled group finder so that the realm is HARDCORE" - no...you simply cant fix group finder or other features implemented by the game creators on a game youre literally trying to copy....i fail to see the purpose of wanting to fly or walk half a continent in order to get in a dungeon or raid that has a probability of failing (features are implemented for a reason)

in the end i want to ask this:
whats the point of wasting so many resources on a server that is eventually gonna end up with around 4-5k population? because after all the hype about the 1x HAAAAAAAARDCOOOOOORE realm ends, and when most of the people reach a decent gearscore they will get bored...and they will leave, believe it or not, it has happened before and it will happen again

then whats gonna happen? youre gonna switch your attention to cata/mop right? so it will always be a loop of 4-6k players on a certain expansion until things eventually die

[zhallus]

I am more concerned for low level 10-55 dungeons. Will those be open?

[nomind]

soon if you know what i mean :D

no, why?
as far as I know Wotlk low level dungeons are not the same of MoP... right?

whats the point of wasting so many resources on a server that is eventually gonna end up with around 4-5k population?

Because that is what the Admin wants... so isn't enough?

I agree with Desolution. Farming achievements is boring as well. That's all you have to offer?

I wish you were trolling, but I realize you aren't. I say it because this is very ironic, given our MoP realm has nothing to do, including farming achievements.

Double post I know.

@Kaer, I see you are browsing the forums. The reason all these people are upset isn't the lack of updates, its more so the lack of communication. That's not to say the lack of updates isn't helping, but we were told Warmane would be different from Molten in that we would have more communication. It's sad to see that just hasn't happened.

Hope you can understand this and make changes, and not let the downward spiral continue...

[Kaer Wolf]

Not sure why you (minimiri) were banned, but I'll quote you from a deleted message.

Not much to say anymore.
After being banned for an eternity the only thing I can say is this...

Do not expect much from the 5.4.8 client update. Most of the current core is in a terrible state and needs to be basically rebuild from scratch in order to get some proper development done.

I've been pointed to this topic so I will reply. As with all updates, 5.4.8 MoP update may introduce new issues, while resolving others and it is also an inevitable logical upgrade to the latest patch of Mists of Pandaria - the more we would've worked on 5.4.0 the more work we would've had to re-do for 5.4.8 update. Mists of Pandaria has already started having developers switch to it from Lordaeron as its Wrath of the Lich King content is about to be launched.

Not much to say anymore.
Also there are a lot of posts from people saying that the Lord core will be the base for all other expansions. This is only partly true since the differences betwen those two cores is simply to big.

Untrue. The only reason why Deathwing and Ragnaros have not been updated to Lordaeron's core is because the core hasn't been "run through" (tested) extensively enough for performance, stability and end-game content (that great majority of players are farming on Deathwing and Ragnaros) yet. Lordaeron's Wrath of the Lich King release is upon us, and with it we will start revising its end-game content (while it will remain closed on Lordaeron itself with respect to progression) in preparation to update Deathwing and Ragnaros in Q1 2016 (we're aiming for February 2016, but don't quote this as an official estimation).

You will soon hear something like Throne of Thunder has to be rewritten from scratch in order to properly develop Throne of Thunder heroic.
This information is coming from internal sources at Warmane.

I just hope Warmane staff knows where their priorities are.

I wish you, the community and the staff all the best for their projects.
My guild is gone and so am I.

PS: Retail is cheap at the moment. Use this chance.

Best regards.

As it was stated, our priorities had been mainly on Wrath of the Lich King, specifically on developing Lordaeron and its core eventually improving Deathwing and Ragnaros to new a new, long-due, superior experience. Warmane had to make a choice to focus on an expansion and to deliver quality, rather than being jack of all trades, ace of none. That said, and as mentioned above, we've started to switch more manpower to Mists of Pandaria in preparation for its 5.4.8 update. Frostwolf's Mists of Pandaria 5.4.8 update will be launched after Lordaeron's Wrath of the Lich King update. This is due to some more development being required on it in terms of avoiding deteriorated end-game (Throne of Thunder as you mentioned) experience, what you said about 'Throne of Thunder has to be rewrritten from scratch' is untrue and far fetched, as of this moment I asked QA for an update on this and the up-to-date information is that Jin'rokh the Breaker, Horridon and the Council of Elders have some bugs issues while in general all bosses have a certain issue that require an internal core update.

Hopefully this information cleared some misunderstanding and rumors.

When I had nothing to do in Retail MOP it was still more interesting than WOD retail. That's what i meant. Desolution summarized it perfectly.

Don't get me wrong, WoD is terrible. But even twinking in WoD right now offers more than our MoP realm does.

At least it seems we finally had some communication from staff and focus from devs, but sadly, I've been let down by the staff enough times to personally not believe that this will continue. I'm sure in 3 weeks time, staff will stop responding to everything again, and we will have bugs everywhere being ignored (with bugtracker being ignored as well, because "there are other priorities").

Like I said before, they say every pessimist is an optimist that was disappointed. In this case, we were disappointed many, many times.

[kingkrick]

i stoped playing MOP and my guild for 6 moth now,we still talk in our group chat

but we havn"t seen any progress at all as all the focus was wotlk
