World of Warcraft: Midnight’s major 12.0.5 update recently launched in a dire state, leading for many in the MMORPG’s community to actually agree on something for once–Blizzard’s process needs to change.
Patch 12.0.5 should have been a homerun. The game’s Midnight expansion has been well received by players and critics, and the 12.0.5 update looked like it would continue to build on that success with new solo activities, a fun prop hunt mode, bonus loot rolls with bad luck protection baked in, and more.
Unfortunately, after the update went live on April 21 following an extended server maintenance period, it quickly became clear all was not well. Blizzard swiftly notified players that they may experience lag or lose connection to the game’s servers due to “technical issues.” Housing, WoW’s biggest new feature introduced as part of Midnight, was disabled entirely due to a “critical bug” that would cause “unacceptable errors for some players.”
And that was everything wrong before players even began to dig into the patch’s new features. The prop hunt mode, called Decor Duels, has turned out to be a complete dud. The basic premise is the same as it is in numerous other multiplayer games
