Yeah, that sucked. But I have an opinion about it now, and it may surprise people what... I have to say, because I thought I was going to be really glad they offered the option to play early access. Sure. I think that... I think it could be way better next time, but I think it was kind of bad this time. And the reason I think it was bad...

The full story, as would be presented campaign-wise to players on day one normal, not early access, was not fully in the game yet. So we all hit a bunch of artificial walls and went, oh, that's not here yet. Or I guess I'm done with Thrall for now. And you weren't even really sure of this.

unless you were really paying attention to news and stuff, but you didn't know what was even going to launch on the day one and how much, what's missing here and why is it missing? Is Blizzard like cramming? You know? I don't know. I couldn't, I couldn't really get my head around what the deal was there, but I don't, I think it was a vastly better experience than,

The day everyone played the game and the fullness of that campaign was ready to play. Yeah. And it felt less empty. It felt less. What's the word? I felt like I was in a PTR servers, how it felt for a few days. Yeah.

Yeah, I think that's who gained advantage from it. I mean, I guess I suppose I got some of that because it got me there. I got to 80 pretty quick. And then, of course, they nerfed it. They didn't nerf it. They buffed it, buffed the game for launch day because they wanted to slow down progression. People are getting there too fast.

Anyway, I don't think they should do that. If they do it again, I think this game needs to be ready to go in all of its finished features for a normal day one launch for most people. That should be your early access state of the game. If not, then what am I paying? What? Forty bucks for whatever it was.
