Shirt Not For Sale
We’re forming a mob.
Yes, patch 3.0.8. deserves no less a response from our community than a full-formed wild gang of incoherent maniacs. So we made a teeshirt.
We are the High Inquisitor, and it’s our responsibility to flush the truth out of the programmers and developers about why they foisted such a dung-plop of a patch on us.
But lo, our ranks need to be filled! To join our happy, torch-wielding, fanatical cabal, just tell us your title and job function in the comments.
Sincerely and with love,
BigRedKitty
High Inquisitor, Patch 3.0.8. Retaliatory Goon Squad.

Down with sucky programmers and religion!
I’ll take up the role of Spittle Spewing Nutjub.

Hunters don’t call it a nerf because we refuse to give up pushing the charts.
Lead hog pen wrangler – bring back the pigs while we’re at it. They were nerfed a while back and have never been viable since. If the BM hunter goes the way of the boars, we’ll never see decent damage in our names again.
i’ve already been the given the position of Sr. Mst. Torturer:
as described in my statement of work to an undisclosed BRK email address:
Rusty pitchfork attendant.
Cause we all need our pitchforks.
Fezzik: I’m on the Brute Squad.
Miracle Max: [sees Fezzik] You *are* the Brute Squad!
Torch Salesman. “Cheaper than the Auction House!” PST
Head BigWig in Charge of Stakes and Fire-Throwers, LTD.
I will take up the mantle of that old weird peasant dude with the pitchfork
I wish to be Corporal Punishment, chief administer of Spankings.
I’ve warmed up my paddle. Just point me to the nearest Blizzard executive and I shall commence applying a vigorous swatting to his underendowed posterior.
Moonshiner.
I win.
You can only lench them if you dont get D/Ced in any raid.
I seem to feel that the LAG is worse now.
Oooh, no one’s down for holding one end of the big “Down with Patch 3.0.8!” banner yet?
Dibs on the… right side
Chief of Toiletpapering, Spray Paint, and Vandalism in General. Let the defacing of Blizzard Entertainment begin immediately!
I kinda liked the changes… I had to respec from BM to SV, but my DPS is way higher now than it was before.
dibs on opportunistic looter & stolen antiquities fencing.
steady shot is dead. long live steady shot!!!!
Well, my IRL title is Sr. Software Engineer. I wish Bliz was open about their tech issues (like EVE Online). I’m really really curious to what went wrong in the QA process. The build that was pushed live was obviously not the one that was on the PTRs last.
I will be referred to as El Conquistador!
Can I call dibs on ‘Resident Rules-Monger’?
Silent Glaring from the Back of the Mob Guy here. You know the one the Camera zooms in on to show he is much more dangerous than the others. Or if that is already filled, I will be the Elemental Shaman preparing the getaway car to free GC!
*Childish Prank Lead Designer*
I’ll be placing Saran Wrap on every toilet seat in Blizzard, and gluing a quarter to the floor of the lobby.
Incited Lemming (BRK’s Minion) reporting for duty.
I haven’t really felt the any of the pains that some have, but I’ll rally with y’all. “Besides, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission… quest… thing.”
Here come the torches, take one and pass the rest. “Right. Where are we goin’?”
I claim the title ‘Malevolent Curmudgeon’.
Reading all the comments on BRKs previous post has been depressing. I love BM. If I ever instance again it will be as BM. But even if I want to, I guess no one will want me. Sad times, sad times…
I’ve been cooking up some firebombs for the last month in preparation…I have enough now to supply all the remaining (3) BM hunters now that the patch has gone live, so consider that aspect of your mob logistics filled.
Let the Beast masters rise up against the oppression of Blizzard I want my Cat to at least out damage other non exotic ferocity pets!!!
I choose “Mess Hall Seargent.”
I’m here to throw down some slop to keep you boys and gals well fed as well as to be an open ear for you to complain into. Yeah, I’ve got complaints too, but I’m here for you.
Want a cookie?
As I’ve said elsewhere, the only way Blizz is going to adjust things prior to patch 3.0.8 is for the ratios of BM – MM – SV to change from 70-20-10 to 20-20-60 or so. (But then they’ll probably just nerf ES). GC has made it clear he doesn’t mind SV being higher dps, and isn’t really concerned about the current issues since we are going to be rework.. (shudder…)
And I’m submitting my resume for Propaganda Minister.
Official Flag Carrier
I’ll wave this loud and proud!!

The Depressed-Looking Hunter in a dark corner of the room with the [Scary-Looking Toolbox] filled with [Stuff That Could Hurt If Applied to Nerf Programmers].
Well, this is almost as much QQ as if pooring out of the Holy Priest community because their CoH got smacked with the nerf bat. Glad I am Discipline.
Can I be the “Commendations” guy or whatever with the blue question mark over my head that has no real use in the game anymore? Departing BM hunters can turn their Spirit Beasts into me for safekeeping. It’s the only way a MM hunter like myself is ever going to get care for such a special creature!
This latest is just part of what has become “standard prctice”. Don’t fix the bugs that we’ve all known about. Try instead to make more bugs. Don’t buff the classes or specs that need help. Instead, bring other classes down to their broken level. Tell people you don’t want them to use a standard cookie cutter spec. Then nerf their spec to uselessness, causing them to find some other cookie cutter (for some heavy nerfage later). Instead of fixing things that need it (under the heading of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”), do the opposite – “if it ain’t broke fix it til it is”. I have toons of every class except paladin. Every one of them has one time or another been screwed up, helped where it didn’t need help, and the flaws ignored. My toons are staying speeced as they are now. All of them. I am not hopping from spec to spec on any of them, just so someone can change all the rules and mechanics on me again. I’m gonna be stubborn this time. I’m sick of classes and specs being “redesigned” for no discernable reason, when they worked just fine (while again the problem areas are ignored).
Electrical Engineer, Space Station and J2X orion programs.
Oh yeah, I’m still mad at what they did to my damn boar in the last “big new thing” (TBC).
DC Policeman
While the rest of you are in a giant mob I’ll find one Blizzard programmer alone and unaware. I will lock him in a room and proceed to torture him slowly for the exact amount of time I had to spend camping my Spirit Beast. My SB which is of course now locked up in my stable along with Nuramoc due to my being a newly crowned SV hunter. While I am torturing this dev at Blizz you’ll only hear me cackling “I are survival hunter?” over and over…..
Oh my title? I guess ‘Sick Renegade Freak’ works!
Blizzard will apologize for the mistake they made against Beastmasters everywhere .. Warcraft is in choas and many of our brothers and sisters switched to Survival , next will come the Sporebat pet ……i say Shenanigans !!!!
The movement has started , and blizzard will fix beastermastery again to its former glory
From your Lord and Master

I’ll take one of those shirts, a sign that says “Blizz are da lazy nubz, refer to 3.0.8 patch notez”, and I wanna stand in front of the Blizz building screaming “FOR FRODO!!!!”
So yeah, I wanna be a crazy nut =D
According to the KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation manual, methods for breaking detainees are based generally on psychology. Identifying a victim’s sense of self and then stripping it away is part of the first step toward breaking him or her. An introverted or shy detainee might be kept naked and perhaps sexually humiliated, for example. Clothes may also be taken simply to alienate the detainee and make him or her less comfortable
Creating a sense of unfamiliarity, disorientation and isolation seems to be the hallmarks of psychologically undermining a detainee in the purview of the KUBARK manual. Practices like starvation, keeping inmates in small, windowless cells with unchanging artificial light and forcing inmates to sit or stand in uncomfortable positions (stress positions) for long periods of time have been decried or banned outright by the United States government. Yet these techniques are part of the regimen prescribed by KUBARK. So, too, are using hypnosis and drugs to extract information.
While it doesn’t mention electric shock directly, the manual calls for interrogators to be sure that a potential safe house to be used for torture has access to electricity. As one source told The Baltimore Sun, “The CIA has acknowledged privately and informally in the past that this referred to the application of electric shocks to interrogation suspects”
Physical pain, however, is ultimately deemed counterproductive by the manual. It’s a much worse experience, the guidebook concludes, for an inmate to fear that pain may be coming than to actually experience it. The old adage that anticipation is worse than the experience appears to also have a basis in the shadowy field of torture.
So lets get to it shall we?
I call dibs on whoever was in charge of bats!
That still pisses me off!
Spam filter ate my title!

@ El Conquistador!
I still have your car on hold.
Can I refer to you as “Sir”….or maybe “Bro” ?
Confused Leveling Hunter Minion
You’re gonna have to have minions for all these mid-mgmt titles to boss around
“Master Sergent Poker!”

Why?
Administrator of Stern Looks and Tersely Written But Polite Letters.
Secretary of Equal Opportunity – investing blatant discrimination by the Blizzard Entertainment Corporation. Why were hunters denied the right to produce equal output with warlocks? Hunters were doing their job and the corporation stepped in to once again segregate the masses.
Senior Master Lagbuster. And yes, lag *is* worse now.
On the bright side, my time required for mining has been reduced by roughly 40%.
Lord Cardinal Monkey the First
I shall read from the Book of Orion, Chapter 23, verses 9 through 11
“Behold, I verily say unto you, ‘Do not despair, for I hear the cries of my children and the gnashing of their teeth.
‘Your suffering will not go unheeded, but have patience for when there’s a great need for the masters of beast by those that control the great winter storm and none are found, you will herald a great return.
‘Heed the wisdom of the large red lion, for he shall guide you through this perilous time.’”
Hmmm… I guess I can pick up media relations. Looks like you guys need a good spin doctor with a pretty face and obfuscating language.

That’s all I’ll be good for if I stay BM
as a software dev by day i can say this, i would have hid in shame if i was to release a patch that had as many bugs in it as 3.0.8
