During his soliloquy earlier today, Asmon noted that Blizzard adding \u201ccorruption\u201d stemmed from the developer\u2019s belief that players were too tied to the idea that \u201citem level\u201d was important. <\/p>
\u201cThey solved the problem of item level,\u201d Asmon said. \u201cBut they made the game worse in the process. \u2026 They identify problems that they perceive because they are game developers, and the player base identifies problems that they perceive because they are players. There is a problem at meeting in the middle and understanding what the players want. This is a situation of, in a way, the customer is always right.\u201d<\/p>

Though Asmon continued to say that any particular individual customer\u2019s opinions aren\u2019t \u201calways right,\u201d but instead, the majority opinion of the people actively playing the game is something that needs to be responded to by Blizzard.<\/p>
In its post to the forums, Blizzard did not identify when it intended to make these changes nor did the developer say the changes would make it into the expansion\u2019s final product. <\/p>
Based on the strong response by Asmongold, who regularly speaks as a voice of the player base at large, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising if Blizzard was more careful moving forward with introducing, or even re-introducing, randomness in WoW<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

With \u201ccorruption\u201d abilities being passive traits and some having proc rates that heavily relying on randomness, the perceived skill involved in doing massive amounts of damage was effectively taken out of WoW in its most recent patch.\u00a0 Blizzard\u2019s new expansion set to release in the fall, Shadowlands, was supposed to fix that, though. One might have expected that coming into the next expansion, Blizzard would have changed titanforging and corruptions after numerous player complaints. While Blizzard has said it is getting rid of those types of features in Shadowlands, it announced today it will implement a small amount of \u201cspell variance,\u201d making it so that abilities have a chance to be a little bit more or less effective to the tune of 5 percent. Reading the news on his stream today, WoW\u2019s most popular content creator Asmongold expressed a high degree of skepticism to any addition of randomness to the game, and in the process, went on an extended rant about the issue. According to Asmon, the \u201cproblem\u201d that Blizzard is trying to combat by adding randomness is the way some players mathematically simulate their characters in an attempt to maximize their potential output. This follows a larger assertion that Asmon has repeatedly expressed to viewers that Blizzard is disconnected from its player base and doesn\u2019t know what players are looking for in their WoW experience. \u201cThis would be find in a vacuum, but it\u2019s not,\u201d Asmon said. \u201cIt\u2019s in the context of them doing as much as they can to \u2026 muddy the waters and make it harder for people to sim in their game. Blizzard has identified simming and theorycrafting in the game as a problem.\u201d Asmon added that while Blizzed might believe RNG will solve a \u201cproblem\u201d it sees, the problem it is solving isn\u2019t one that players have. In fact, based on recent issues with things like \u201ccorruption,\u201d it appears as though, less randomness in output would be seen as a positive for most players. In a post to their forums, Blizzard tried to make the upcoming beta build changes seem less impactful than Asmon seems to believe it will be, but due largely to recent history, he is wary of what the word \u201cvariance\u201d could lead to. \u201cThis was standard behavior in WoW for many years (and has its roots in familiar mechanics from many RPGs), but recently was lost as a side effect of some under-the-hood mechanical changes. We\u2019re restoring this behavior now to bring back the small bit of texture, and avoid the result where using the same spell repeatedly results in exactly the same 3- or 4-digit number every time,\u201d Blizzard\u2019s post said. \u201cWe\u2019re keeping the amount of variance small (5% currently), so that the impact on total performance, over the course of a combat with many events, is negligible.\u201d Even if Blizzard is truly returning WoW to a state that it was in for many years, its reintroduction doesn\u2019t seem like it will come without at least some degree of kicking and screaming. During his soliloquy earlier today, Asmon noted that Blizzard adding \u201ccorruption\u201d stemmed from the developer\u2019s belief that players were too tied to the idea that \u201citem level\u201d was important.\u00a0 \u201cThey solved the problem of item level,\u201d Asmon said. \u201cBut they made the game worse in the process. \u2026 They identify problems that they perceive because they are game developers, and the player base identifies problems that they perceive because they are players. There is a problem at meeting in the middle and understanding what the players want. This is a situation of, in a way, the customer is always right.\u201d Though Asmon continued to say that any particular individual customer\u2019s opinions aren\u2019t \u201calways right,\u201d but instead, the majority opinion of the people actively playing the game is something that needs to be responded to by Blizzard. In its post to the forums, Blizzard did not identify when it intended to make these changes nor did the developer say the changes would make it into the expansion\u2019s final product.
