Despite Blizzard Studios’ recent commitment to tight control of update quality, the release of World of Warcraft Patch 12.1 has been marred by a host of technical issues.
While the story campaign received positive reviews, key elements of the game were affected by critical bugs, with players experiencing missing NPCs, interrupted events, interrupted dungeons, and problems logging into the game. Anger is growing on official forums and Reddit, with users openly accusing the developers of breaking promises and rushing to meet a strict eight-week timeline.
The community called on the company to increase the time it takes to test content and refuse to release rough patches to meet artificial deadlines.
Did you encounter critical bugs on the release day of a major update for other multiplayer games?
