Summary
Analysis of Patch 12.1.5's unusual launch with minimal promotion from Blizzard, extended PTR testing, persistent Labyrinth bugs, and concerns about Midnight expansion being overlooked in favor of Forever. Creator discusses four problematic aspects of the patch rollout and questions Blizzard's communication strategy.
Key Points
- Patch 12.1.5 received extra development time but almost no social media promotion from Blizzard
- PTR build still labeled as 'Test' despite patch going live, suggesting incomplete transition
- Labyrinth bugs continue to be reported post-launch despite extended testing period
- Midnight expansion appears to be receiving less attention while Forever takes focus
