Blizzard is taking the âthrow $#*& out thereâ approach to designing this game. They throw concepts out. The beta crowd either howls in protest at the idea, or offers quibbling nitpicks for refinement. In the âhowlingâ case, they redesign or add a new feature to compensate. If itâs just âquibbles,â they muck around and change the numbers a bit. Itâs very hit and miss, but seeing them improvise, actually listen to feedback, and respond is quite interesting. I think the result will be an erratically good and ever-changing game. I just wish I understood their agenda more.
