Classic Era Patch Updates

[Crishaceo-zuljin]

The fact that you are making or unmaking changes on a legacy server, based on people who is not level 60, who is just getting fun griefing other people, and people that doesnt even play or just earn gold that they sell by selling rend mind controls its an absolute joke.
The way that alliance has to get rend is an absolute trash. We have to have 2 accounts, be lucky that your mind control of your second bnet account works and lose an insane amount of time since in firemaw eu, rend almost is not dropping since horde is dead bcs noone pvp and many of them just play to grief ppl as hobby.
The changes were good. The same people that complained about those changes is people that is not even playing the game, im raiding weekly on 6 characters on classic era atm and all the people that i know that plays a lot were happy about the changes, just randoms were complaining.
Those who talk about “#nochanges” are the same that wouldnt be playing if there were no chronoboon, that would never get rank 14 in their entire life with the old system or people that literally has no idea how it is to play in 1.12 client with no autoloot, 60 hz, no addons and no quests in my many wow zones a.k.a. burning steppes and they would have to grind 48 to 53 just killing mobs.
Revert the might of stormwind, all the changes on era were good for now, even if people have fear to where will those changes lead, for now were all very good.
#GiveMoSback. stop listening to randoms.

Full cap. Classic was alive before boon changes btw. Chronoboons were added in 2021 right in the end of phase 6 and noone, literally noone asked about this change. Classic still died tho after tbc classic comes out.
Chronoboons did not save era , in fact ppl forgot abot era for long time ago untill Asmongold make a stream ang logged here for a second. Lol

[Thuraan-firemaw]

Firemaw for example was definately a lot less populated than before the streamers got lots of players to join, but Alliance side still had 2x Naxx guilds and a Naxx PUG, Horde about the same I believe.

I buggered off to HC for now to escape GDKP and bot/gold buying synergy there.

[Whitmane-mograine]

Funny thing that all this happend btw right after chronoboon added ingame.

For the alliance!!! ht tps://media.tenor.com/Oj4Y0LJf4uAAAAAM/scf-alliance.gif

[Lethan-defias-brotherhood]

Era is not retail and shouldn’t be balanced out or comfortably QoL-ish like retail. It’s perfectly flawed – which makes it stand out amongst the other game versions. Keep changes away.

I see people spreading the petition for MoS now - the counter petition is here:

[Hardcoreman-firemaw]

It has nothing to do with balance , alliance is already forced to get rend in the barrens. This change simply made it so we dont have to waste multiple hours in the barrens waiting for a slowly dying faction to drop a world buff we have to use if you want to do any form of competitive dps.

[Talgom-mograine]

Fantastic news. I play classic because I prefer the game before all the “quality of life” changes slowly eroded the things I liked about WoW. If you want to make a classic+ with changes such as this then I am all for it, but please maintain at least one era-version of the game where you dont make any major changes such as the ones you now reverted.

[Cliff-firemaw]

The QoL is one thing, the time saving, but Classic has always been a game that rewards time put in. Like the rank, the rep farming, the professions farming, most game mechanics reward effort over time. That’s fine, we don’t need shortcuts. These grinds are a big part of what makes the game great.

BUT: WCB is centered around griefing. This is similar to taking back Chronoboons. All it does is cater to the griefers. Letting alliance farm their own Rend heads and not have to deal with dedicated horde griefer groups was an amazing change. Devs should realize this. It’s also very lame to depend on the other faction popping a world buff for you.

[Millari-ashbringer]

It’s unbelievable how out of touch these guys from Blizzard are. Nobody can tell me they have fun staring at the screen for several hours in hope to get the rend buff. MoS was the best implementation since the boon.

Finally players could actually play their raiding chars outside of the raids.

Please please bring back MoS.

[Cliff-firemaw]

And for the record: All sad alliance players understand the principled stance that the game should not be touched. But it still does change when left untouched. Imagine the horde population dwindles to the point that no WCB is popped for whole days. At that point we’re not playing under the same circumstances we’ve been used to. We don’t have access to the powerful buff we’ve always had, albeit through the tiresome MC mechanic. And going back to being less powerful, having the pumpiest juice taken away, FEELS terrible. Suddenly you’re not competing on the same terms as you have for years. Please just get us out of Barrens, ONLY griefers enjoy it and it can take hours. We don’t want to do it, and we don’t want to raid without it. It’s simple.

For everything it does perfectly, Classic Era is also beloved for its wonderful imperfections. These ‘perfectly imperfect’ elements and balance make up the texture of the overall experience, and we recognize that making changes to these, even with the intent of adding ‘quality of life’ updates – and particularly without discussing them with the community first – was shortsighted. Thank you, again, for your feedback.

You state that you are aware of the lack of a prior discussion with the community. However you go ahead and do the exact same again by removing some of the changes withouth a prior discussion with the community. Among the removed changes, the only change that people liked, MOS.

How about you poll people that actually play the game for their opinion instead of catering to people that play for 2 months before they quit and scream for the next fresh?

Bring back might of stormwind

[Kamenitza-gehennas]

@Kaivax

These updates included changes originally developed for Season of Discovery but intentionally brought to Classic Era as well, such as one that specifically addressed a longstanding imbalance in World of Warcraft Classic, by providing Alliance players with the Might of Stormwind buff as a comparable buff to the Horde’s Warchief’s Blessing.

Kaivax, i seriously doubt that anyone actually believe you about that. It looks 100% unintentionally leaked.

Basically here you’ve devided the community on purpose.

First you say that you wanted to add qol change, but later you removed it, because of the community… Good job! Now the guys that are for MoS are angry against the supposed enemy who wanted the changes gone. Really good way to change the focus off you guys.

Btw, there are still changes from the last update that needs to go.

Thanks!

They did it long time ago after they added chronoboons and rest changes which also noone asked for

[Nucléase-dalaran]

Here a feedback from a guild leader and raidleader during classic :

Bring old guild UI back it was better, we use discord anyway.

[Kyró-firemaw]

@Kaivax

We have said since the beginning that World of Warcraft Classic has been a journey that has been cowritten by you, the players.

The majority of the players who PLAYS THE GAME wanted these changes.
90% of the Alliance PLAYERS welcomed this buff.
You didn’t care much for their opinions did you.

[Skazur-pyrewood-village]

Boons are the best implementation evoah made.
Unplayable, cause buffed, toons were horrible and has killed half the game back in the days.

[Whitmane-mograine]

Iam sorry to say but you are brainwashed by blizzard. Today they added Boons, next day they adding new world buff, next week they add mount shop with Bobby Kotik new mount yeaht just for 99$ dollars and you will buy it.
Theres literally 0 reason to have chronoboons on era servers when we alredy got classic + servers fot testing, and adding these things, without destroying original game . Even if changes are “good” they are not needed in original version
