Blizzard’s massively popular MMORPG never seems to age, as it’s always agood time to go back or start playingWorld of Warcraft. Despite having been released in the 2000s,WoW’s appeal has endured over the years, and the developer has continued to update the game, bringing new seasons, content, and enhancing the experience to keep it relevant. Although Blizzard has done a good job of keepingWoWengaging all these years, the game has also had its share of controversy with some updates, and that’s the case with the recent patch.
World of Warcraft’s latest updateis receiving backlash for several reasons. One major complaint among players is the massive, game-breaking bugs that came with the update. Moreover, many other issues that had been fixed in previous patches were triggered again by this new update. But that’s not all—players are also complaining about the time-gated content, with Horrific Visions delayed until May 20 and Dastardly Duos until June 3. They claim Blizzard has delivered “just one buggy world event and the rest being time-gated.”
Players Call Latest World of Warcraft Update ‘Buggy’ and ‘Underwhelming’
Early impressions suggestedsomething was off aboutWorld of Warcraftpatch 11.1.5, mainly due to its staggered release schedule, limited-time events, and the lack of a new campaign chapter—Nightfall was the only actual new content the patch brought at launch. The update failed to deliver all the new features Blizzard had originally promised, with most of them broken or delayed.
Players have also accused Blizzard of rushing updates and spoiling what was supposed to be anexciting day forWorld of Warcraft. The next part of the update will bring the Horrific Visions Revisited event, which allows players to experience alternate versions of Stormwind and Orgrimmar. Unfortunately, players will have to wait until May 20 to play it. While players continue to express their frustration on social media, some feel that the update will only truly begin a month from now, when the rest of the content finally arrives in the game.
