Breakfast Topic: Keeping up with the Alpha
Well, if you're keeping track, some pretty big changes have come down for monks and warriors as of the latest alpha patch, and before that several other classes saw some significant changes as well. This leads me to wonder if anyone else has trouble keeping up with all of it. I'm a pretty clued in warrior, but seeing patch notes that shuck whole class mechanics and shake up abilities leaves me feeling a bit flat footed. I mean, arms without Slam? Only prot getting Deep Wounds? I don't play a monk, but they saw some really big changes to abilities like Zen Meditation.
Sometimes I wonder if it's better for most players to simply ignore any alpha or beta news about their classes and discover it all as it goes live. If Slam ends up coming back, will it matter to most players that it was gone from the alpha for a while? So we come to the topic of discussion - do you keep up with alpha changes, or are you happier finding out when it goes live?
