But the rest of the game DID explode. People were getting sub-10 fps in raids for no reason, and raid mobs were teleporting people around (which was a really funny bug). The scaling was also hosed so people couldn't solo old raids anymore, leveling dungeons flat out weren't worth doing over questing, and there are STILL goats and giraffes in northrend that one shot people leveling because they do damage as though you were 80 instead of 70.

I mean, 7.3.5 was a funny loving patch, but "not exploding" isn't how I'd classify it.

The rumour is that the performance was bunk because someone thought up a nice little trick to squeeze just that little bit of extra performance out of 32 bit systems running the game, but the trick had the bad side effect of loving things up for anyone running a computer from this millennium.

The game takes an eternity to load for me in general, it has bigger performance issues than FFXIV 2.0 onwards has ever had for me, despite being WoW older than time itself.

The new level scaling made timewalking dungeons really long and grinding to complete with terrible rewards for your effort.

The joke is to blame it on the backpack slots, but apparently according to the dev's that was a myth all along that even they believed, until they brought it up in front of the engineers who were like "Yea that's bullshit".

Everyone can sleep in on Tuesday. The patch notes say that the new wards will be added a week after the patch. No date given and it says more information coming. On phone or I would find it again.

Edit:

Had the notes still open on my phone.

Wards 13 through 18 have been added to all residential districts.

* The new wards are scheduled to be added one week after the release of patch 4.2. A separate announcement will be made when the date has been finalized.

I still get excited for new plot wards out of years of conditioning but after being the owner of a Mist 6 I feel like I've beaten the game.

I briefly felt sad about losing my Brimming Heart house after the patch blinged it out, but it turns out being able to clip bridges over walls means I have a personally path to a MB now that I appreciate quite a bit.

You know what's one of the most unappreciated houses? Goblet #1. You have an entire set of NPCs + MB almost exclusively for you. No one will ever visit it but it's such a good utilitarian plot.

That made me realize: this is probably a dumb question, but is the 'orchestral-sounding' for this game like Moebius actually recorded or is it all made on computers?

And I was just complaining about YoshiP being a middling designer who gets way too many free passes because he managed to stick together a decent MMO with the full resources of a giant company behind him. Half-assed updates, casters being back in the dumpster (just delete them and make Melee and Bard Fantasy already), and flailing random-rear end job overhauls are strangling any goodwill I had for the dev team personally.
