World of Warcraft is now strategically scheduling their raid tests in an attempt to disrupt FFXIV Endwalker, and it’s sad, desperate, pathetic and ultimately bad for the game.

So now WoW needs to take FF14 dates into account? I mean, each company schedules its dates according to its own interests. Complaining 'cause a company decided to do something on the same date that your favorite game releases new content sounds like whiny behavior.
The only thing that makes WoW raid testing attractive is the hour wait to log in on FF14
Honestly I hope it works a bit. Reduce the queue times for FF to maybe just an hour or two. XD
you are fucking right! and for that you have a sub! (even if im not even finished storm blood nor boruth end walker (money issues) but as soon i can you bet your ass i will be there! wow is on 4th im my priority list, halo and FFXIV are 1st and 2nd!
Ahaha. You're so funny blizzard. One of the devs for the original Wc3 recently came out and said that Blizzard is being worn by Activision like a corpse. I believe him fully.
Why is PTR still a thing? Endwalker launched with no bugs at all. Why should a simple code like a raid need to be public tested?
Are they really that incompetent? As to have to make PTR an event for wow players?
And wow players condone this?
They mustve their head in their ass.
It’s just a coincidence – Copium OD’er. 2021
Blizzard- so many people ignoring our raids to play endwalker this was not my intention
garbage date for a garbage game created by garbage individuals.
god make this game die faster
I would say their plan backfired. Pathetic
they are just being helpful, you can raid test WoW bosses while waiting in queue to log into Endwalker 😛 and yes, the queue is hours long, unless you play during the night or morning
Blizz takes their player's Money, Time and even make them work for the product they paid for! ROFLolol. AMAZING~
how Blizzard see this: "We will get you players back! Just you see, we will beat that Japanese Furry Game! we are the bigger game"
how Reality sees this: FFXIV has at least twice as much the active player base than WOW+WOW classic and is continuing to grow while WOW continues to shrink
How Square Enix sees this: "So moving Yoshi P to FFXIV sure paid out! FFXVI gunna buy us some vacations to the bahamas!"
How the players see this: "Yoshi P doesn't just listen, he interacts with us through streamers and keeps us informed, he truly cares about this game! Unlike that sexual harassment corporation!"
pls do the Q&A.
it will do wonders for the EW Q times
this WORST i seen since SB
Jokes on them, FF14 will still be there after, with no FOMO 😉
Hey buddy, I hope you could rest a bit. And play ff14 as to your pleasure. We wait. Take care g/krakatoom
Bellular be like: "C'mon guys, this is surely just because they are limited on time and need to crank it out!"
Say what you will but Bellular still on the mental level keeps making excuses for Blizzard.
You can remove the game from the coper but you can never remove the cope from the gamer.
I don't think it did matter, we had 4k people queue in prime time, so I do believe nothing was affected
I mean…do they REALLY think FOMO is going to keep working? People just don't care about WoW raids like they used to. EW's early access along has curb stomped WoW.
endwalker launches dec 7 .. dec 3 is early access 🙂
squareenix deliver at least they gave us 7 days due to the congestion on FFXIV …. blizzard would never do that shit.
Isn't this the second time Blizzard tried to time their content on FFXIV launch?
AND IT'S NOT HELPING AT ALL, I STILL HAVE 8K QUEUE IN ENDWALKER, PLS BLIZZARD, HELP US ARRRGGG!!!
wow releasing content at the same time as final fantasy isnt that bad, while youre in queue for final fantasy you can finish the entirety of what wow has to offer with a new patch.
I rather challenge ffxiv queue ultimate than test that rt sh8
Commentary from Bellular games suggested this was all coincidence up until marketing. Id beleive that if developments were running parallel to one another and both were on the up and up.
But that's clearly not the case with blizzard the last few years. And while I know theyre competing businesses, there's a proper way to compete and be a good sport and competitor. And then there's the scummy version where you try all the worst tactics to undermine your competitor.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Thankfully this seems to be the latter.
There are 2 option…they either knew and failed like clowns..or they actually didnt know , which would make them look like clowns again cuz they are ignoring their biggest rivals release dates
I'd rather wait for 8 hours in a FFXV queue than spend 8 seconds in WoW.
Testing Blizzard content, isn't that just their regular content for the first three months?
Eh, it's fine really. This actually benefit 14 too because it will alleviate the log in queue.
I love that wow tards will still say shit like, “blizzard doesn’t plan for contest releases when competitors launch their products! That would be absurd it just ‘happens’”
So endwalker release date is announced and they put up mage tower time walking.
Endwalker release delayed..
New date comes up hey guys look at our PTR RAID content!
Blizz is scum of the earth
Well, if that was their thinking, it was very poor thinking. The best way to damage EW would have been to actually let them focus on it and the queue and server situations, wait for that to just start to abate then send out the word for testing. This would give those players of both the maximum negative impression of EW as at this point, while also splitting interest at the point where players could reliably get into FFXIV, trying to weaken that interest the most. There is no real winning in direct competition for WoW in this fight. They should have played to EW's weakness which is the overloaded servers. If the WoW devs truly intended it, they are playing with an old playbook where they were the top dog by far. Now the situation has sharply changed, and they are at best still tops but barely and in sharp decline up against a very close 2nd best who is on a sharp rise. At worse, they may already be behind FFXIV and they may be the 2nd stringer. You have to play a complete different marketing game in that situation. A PTR of a patch is not even an option against a major expansion release.
And why would people test out raids and give feedback for which Blizzard will just ignore anyways?
I actually had way too much fun doong Login Queue Ultimate last two days and i can safely say i was able to beat it last night 🤣🤣🤣
hazzikostas is becoming more pathetic each time he does sth like that…sigh
Judging by the queue length to get in Endwalker for the past few days, I think WoW devs are gonna have to play test their own game for the first time.
Doesnt blizzard have a rather large history of doing this?
It’s funny how Blizzard still think they’ve got anything on FFXIV. FFXIV is in another solar system as far as WoW is concerned.
Anyone who is still playing WoW, after everything that had happened, deserve to miss out on FFXIV Endwalker.
Ye, why play endwalker when you can test a wow raid in ptr, blizz needs that feedback so she can ignore it again.
Ffxiv and wow always had simultaneous launch/event since forever.
Stop making stupid ass content
Blizzard is so deluded they think if they dangle some crap new content all the people who left for FF14 are gonna "be OMG WoW dropped new content" and throw down everything to stampede back. They need to realize the vast majority who left are finally done, sure some copium addicts have been waiting for slightest WoW content to jump on and convince themselves its good but it a lot less then they think it will be
If Blizzard thought I'd go back to them while waiting on Endwalker's queue times, then they clearly don't think Guild Wars 2 or ESO are viable competitors with their franchise.
they expected FFXIV Q issues, they are helping FFXIV players stuck in Q kill time xD
