87th PLL showcases a need for change in announcing content

[churchren]

Ok, so hear me out

At no point did he ever say there would be an ultimate, and if there was going to be one it was going to be early august. So, wasting energy recruiting for an ultimate the devs never even hinted at happening and requesting PTO earlier than today for a day we know is going to be mid-august or later for the ultimate is entirely a you problem, not on the devs. Once it is announced, there is always plenty of time to recruit and plenty of time to request PTO. Guessing days to take off for content you guessed would happen like 2 months from now is absolutely the stupidest thing I ever heard from a player.

I still think there are communication issues, yes I think gearing needs to change especially for alts, but your primary complaint here is 100% on you and this is pretty embarrassing. I predicted before DT ever came out we wouldn't have a 7.3 ulti, they never once hinted or mentioned it. Seriously. Why would you even think its coming? There isnt even an established pattern for ultis BESIDES the x.1 patch and even then I would never assume it.

keep assuming things. Have you ever put together or been in a HC static for an ultimate? it takes weeks to months to find compatible players, not to mention the actual prep time we spend getting ready once the static is put together. On top of that, some people work jobs that require 3-4 months of advanced notice to take PTO. So yeah, it's definitely not a me problem. And while it's easy to say all this about our expectations/assumptions for a 7.31 ultimate, there was several things from previous comments and their own history that gave enough credit to a 7.31 ultimate.

"Sir, this is a Wendy's."

If someone feels compelled to take PTO for a game -- and that game's arbitrary release and content cycle -- that's entirely on them.

As a midcore raider without a static, I did take PTO for one raid tier in 2020. Wasn't worth it, but with a static it very well might be.

e/: I don't agree with OP about the whole telling us in advance thing. I think instead they should just unlock the weekly raid rewards earlier, i.e. one month before any given ultimate release.

No, it still is. And what jobs require that? Healthcare? Aviation? Teachers? Surgeons? That's literally all I can think of and i guarantee you aren't finding those people for your HC groups. Also, do you even have experience with hardcore groups? Your best clear was FRU on week 3 which is far far worse than competitive.

Also, there was NOTHING ever said that gave credence to a 7.31 ultimate EVER. He briefly mentioned to Arthars before DT that their MAY be 2 or 3 ultimates according to Arthars and no other indication ever. In fact, before DT came out, I had a predictions sheet that has been nearly on point and my sheet said "There will not be an ultimate in 7.3". There was more evidence to suggest it not existing than existing. I get it, you are salty that you are wrong. You have some points, but your post is mostly just bitter for the sake of being bitter because you were wrong and you know it.
