My main concern is gear. We can't see our creator characters in all of our gear and glamours, so you have to commit to do that. If I switch to hrothgal, will my gear be re-shaped to fit, or will I have to run around naked until I find something else to wear.. If re-equipping begins to look like a chore of finding new gear and re-doing my glamours, I'd rather just revert.





They don't have an unhealthy obsession with graphics. There have been complaints for years both valid and nitpicky here, on Reddit, on Facebook, on Twitter, and anywhere else where there can be feedback about the graphics in this game and how they needed to be updated. On that point, there's a clear history of this coming from player feedback.

As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess


I'm tired and I dont know how to do math, someone just tell me if they fixed Pictomancers cursed AOE rotation




All credibility is lost when someone uses a phrase like "maintenance mode" to describe the polar opposite of it. Maintenance mode is when nothing new is being added to a product. We're about to get an entire new MSQ with side quests, raid storyline, alliance raid storyline, etc. that will easily be 60+ hours of new content. That's more than most "expansion packs" for games add to it. What expansions generally don't do, however, is utterly and completely change how a game works.For most job they did nothing but add 1 mechanically inconsequential skill.
dawntrail doesn't feel much like an expansion, it's more like a patch.
And this is with 4 years worth of development as opposed to 2.5 years in the early model of ARR->HW->SB. They used to develop more content in less time.
Maintenance mode continues.
I'm confused with the person who linked this as a response to the graphics update. We're on the 5th expansion (counting ARR as the new "base" game), and this is the first significant graphics update they've done. That's the complete opposite of an "unhealthy obsession" with graphics...Three easy steps to failure



I can't believe this needs to be explained to you. He didn't mean that they're obsessed about it, but that they're putting graphics as a bigger priority instead of the gameplay.All credibility is lost when someone uses a phrase like "maintenance mode" to describe the polar opposite of it.

Do people struggle to read intentional hyperbole that much
I don’t need to be told that “maintenance mode” means “they aren’t putting enough new features into the game or they aren’t reinventing the wheel” and that “obsession with graphics” means they are putting it above gameplay
Is this like a regional difference thing, I used to notice it annoyed renthras when he was still on the forums, intentional hyperbole is totally normal as a speech pattern where I’m from
