Now that Shadowlands are delayed the windwalker community is once again asking for fixes!
Hi,
First of all I'd like to say I'm sorry, I know there's probably already been several posts about it. I myself posted on the official forums twice, however posts there seem to die very quickly and it seems like reddit is the only consistent way of providing feedback.
Current Beta/PTR situation of windwalkers is seriously disastrous. Since Alpha the amount of bugs have not decreased at all, I can bet we now have more than ever with two gamebreaking newcomers from previous two builds. Seems to me the only bugs that actually got fixed are the bugs related to SL content, like covenant abilities or new (pruned) spells, but even they are not all working as we'd expect and want them to. I really hope that with additional time gained by delaying the expansion we will get at least a playable product. You could think that its an exaggeration, but seriously, current iteration of the class is unplayable to the point where our abilities cast themselves without us pressing the button (?). I'm not gonna list them all, as there are too many but you can probably find many threads in older forum posts.
​
Another thing is we really would like to get more guidance on what the spec is supposed to do. There's barely any communication between developers and players (despite us giving feedback on everything) regarding the changes, we actually don't know whether some things are intended or bugs. Over the entire alpha and beta cycle we received two blueposts of our own, both promised bug fixes that never came. (Alright that's pretty harsh to say, but i think we just expected Core Class fixes in the first place, not covenant abilities fixes and outside systems which we got).
​
Lastly, we still haven't received many of the changes/reworks that we expected at this point (after crying about them for years) to abilities like Touch of Karma for instance. Degenerate mechanics that make us self-harm are neither fun nor cool to the point we'd rather just have the damaging part of the ability removed resulting in damage loss.
​
I really believe the spec can be great, becasue it has a decent base rotation. It's fun, has a nice flow to it and there are people out there that love this playstyle. However, the bugs are currently killing us, there are many people who'd rather not deal with them already swapping mains for Shadowlands. Please, give us some hope and don't let the spec die.
Sincerely, Tymke
