AFR #329 – The beginning of the end

I regret to announce that this is the end.

Well, not quite yet.

I have said before that as long as I have jokes to tell, I’ll keep making AFR.  I have now run out of jokes, and so AFR is coming to an end.  I have one last story to tell, and I’m going to take my time telling it, so it’ll be a few months yet before the very last comic appears, but we’re on our way.

It’s been a amazing experience making AFR.  I never ever expected it to go on this long or to get such an enthusiastic response from so many people.  I’m going to miss all of you, but it’s time for me to move on with my life and work on other things.

Thanks for reading.  I’ll see you next week.

AFR #308 – Law of averages

Blizzard has a problem with over-correcting.  It goes something like this:

 

Players: The limit on daily quests seems a little arbitrary.  I wish could do more in a day.

Blizzard: NO DAILY QUEST LIMIT!  SO MANY DAILY QUESTS!  DAILIES THAT LEAD TO DAILIES!  DAILIES GATED BEHIND OTHER DAILIES!

Players: Wow, that’s a lot of daily quests.  I’m not sure I want to try to keep up with that many.

Blizzard: NO MORE DAILY QUESTS!  EVER!

 

…

 

Players: The server feels kind of empty now that most people are at max level and spending their time raiding.

Blizzard: SERVER MERGES!  CROSS-REALM ZONES!  NEVER BE ALONE AGAIN!

Players: Gee, it’s getting crowded in here.

Blizzard: SOLO SCENARIOS WHILE LEVELING!  INDIVIDUAL GARRISONS THAT PROVIDE ALL YOUR CRAFTING MATERIALS!  NEVER INTERACT WITH ANOTHER PLAYER AGAIN!

 

…

 

But, to be fair, we can hardly blame Blizzard for being all over the map when their interactions with the fan base go something like this:

Blizzard: Here’s a new feature for the game!

Tiny minority of players on the forums: THIS IS A DISASTER!  THE GAME IS RUINED!  THINGS WERE SO MUCH BETTER BEFORE!

Blizzard: We’ve made some tweaks to that new feature.

Tiny minority of players on the forums: THIS IS A DISASTER!  THE GAME IS RUINED!  THINGS WERE SO MUCH BETTER BEFORE!

Blizzard: We got rid of the feature.
