    Blizzard needs to go back to making CGI movies. Using the in-game engine to make their movies is kind of lame. I used to really like watching their CGI stuff too. Oh well.  As far as the actual patch,...meh

    All of that advanced CGI costs a LOT more than having it done by the engine group.   No doubt some bean counter/business suit made the decision.

    The story in WoW is quite "meh" compared to what it had during the RTS series.

    I think it works pretty well most of the time, but in this case (people just standing around talking or fighting boss monsters), it didn't work. Arthas stands around talking during numerous quests throughout Northrend, and that's all this video feels like... someone recorded the end of some long quest chain.

    With 11 million subscribers paying $15 per month, you'd think they'd spend more on a lot of things.  Testing their patches, making sure the systems actually work before patch day, a better looking spokesmodel than Mr. T, etc.

    "I pity da fool" that expects Blizzard to spend a penny more than they *have* to on such things!.

    They have any number of excuses for their various "issues". Some more valid than others at this point.  Large scale production environments CAN be extremely difficult to deal with, *unless* one is willing to invest in the *professional* level personnel and infrastructure to make deployments faster and much more "issue" free.  The fact that they obviously haven't(after more than 5 years, and billions in profits) speaks volumes about their priorities in such matters.
