Now, with ripples being sent around the gaming community, and many expressing their solidarity with the employees, one of the current World of Warcraft developers has noted, they’ve put the brakes on the game’s updates for the time being.With the aftermath of the lawsuit still up in the air, one of the developers behind WoW, arguably Blizzard’s leading title, has noted they’re not going to be updating the game any further for the time being.
Senior System Designer at Wow, Jeff Hamilton posted a thread of tweets on his stance in regards to the recent lawsuit filed against Activision Blizzard, and within one of these tweets he noted that “almost no work is being done on World of Warcraft right now while this obscenity plays out.”
While we don’t know how long this stoppage is going to last, we’ll have to wait and see if other Activision Blizzard developers follow suit after their colleagues decided to halt work.Right after the Shadowlands Developer Update, I was given access to a private World of Warcraft server where I could play through a bit of endgame content, right when you unlock the Venthyr covenant in Revendreth. As you can probably tell, I was a bit excited to get into it and see the spooky content for myself.
The moment I logged in, I was in their stronghold. I cannot tell you what in the story led up to me being in the castle, or even what any of the quests said. I clicked through all of the quest text and skipped the placeholder cutscenes, because when I experience the Shadowlands story, I want to experience it in all of its glory – even if a large portion has already been spoiled by, well, playing it.Once you get out of the castle, going through tutorials to unlock Soulbinds and getting some unique abilities through quests, you are left to start questing in Revendreth. And getting around this zone is a bit of a pain, especially given that I didn't have to level through it to learn the ropes.
The zone has this really awesome Transylvanian vibe, with giant castles jutting out of the landscape. However, as anyone that's played a new WoW expansion since Warlords of Draenor can probably guess – you can't fly.
This is generally something I can get behind as a new expansion launches, as it forces you to get to know a zone, rather than letting you just fly above everything as soon as you hit max level. But, this zone is clearly designed with flight in mind. Time will tell whether or not this will be an issue when I inevitably dump hundreds of hours into the expansion when it launches – but when I was just trying to get over to a world quest, it wasn't a great time.
