The hills are alive... with the sound of OMG STFU N00B
As some of you know, I am an erstwhile player of the MMORPG World of Warcraft. WOW occasionally undergoes patches, where everybody spends Tuesday downloading modifications to the game and then bitching about them on the forums. These patches come with patch notes, which tell the careful reader what the modification has, well, modified.
In the latest patch notes, which I was reading last night, I ran across this line item:
(The Barrens is an area of the game that feels much like a slightly-drier Serengeti.)
And it occurred to me to wonder whether this was based on a player complaint, because it sounds to me like one of the "airplane engineering complaints" lists that goes around occasionally:
I wonder if Blizzard really received complaints like "The Barrens does not feel alive enough."
In the latest patch notes, which I was reading last night, I ran across this line item:
- The Barrens should now feel more alive.
(The Barrens is an area of the game that feels much like a slightly-drier Serengeti.)
And it occurred to me to wonder whether this was based on a player complaint, because it sounds to me like one of the "airplane engineering complaints" lists that goes around occasionally:
Complaint: #3 engine missing.
Resolution: #3 engine found on right wing after brief search.
