Comment by Roxuro"Lady Inerva Darkvein Boss Page" Redirects to the Hungering Destroyer Boss Page instead.Comment by GababobRemovedComment by chunkycarlThere’s no better way to beta test a game than through players input. It’s a tried and tested method, not free advertising.
Blizzard used to have internal testing teams, you know what happened? Players found things they would never have imagined, because players played this content far more than any developer (or any wow staff) do.
As far as world firsts go, there’s hundreds of guilds that get the opportunity to raid rest, but the same ones end up on top. It’s not an advantage, it’s a sign of their dedication and skill in the game.
I for one am glad they thoroughly test the fights so we don’t get buggy releasesComment by VelachthraelIt's too bad that me and most of the people I know who got beta this week can't actually post in the beta section of the forums to give feedback on the raid test lol.
