Fresh vanilla servers and actual Classic+

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Instead of cata classic you know the expansion that saw the downfall of your game and is more like retail than vanilla.

And a weird Season of discovery with level caps and class changes that are antithetical to vanilla class identity.

(Also Seasons??? you do this is retail and now in classic too. This isn’t a battlepass fps it’s an online world. Patches should add to the world not reset things so you just play the latest patch not game.)

Just give us fresh servers with the orginal 6 phase release schedule.

Work on a Classic+ something in the spirit of vanilla not destroying class indentity and balance.

GMs wouldn’t go a miss either to ban the bots and cut down on RMT trading.

Hardcore is not vanilla. No world pvp. No Bgs. Raiding taking weeks.

Nobody except rogues enjoy wpvp anyway. And for BGs and Raiding you have Era.

Fresh belivers would like it to reset ever 2 months, not years, because they can be dedicated to raiding for any longer.

In that regards SoD is perfect casual experience for them.

Aside from SoD being seasonal you got Classic +, it just isn’t the classic+ you wanted.

Nah I don’t want a vanilla reset, I want an entire classic reset that will go through all expansions again. Though after the stuff they announced I believe this will be something we might only get after SoD is done. I just hope to experience Outland when it’s current content one more time.

Still hyped for everything they annouced tho.

There won’t be another 2019 or 2004 as the matter of fact, people would like to progress up untill end of their favourite expansion (mine is MoP) unless Blizzard really puts money into Classic remaking it on a completely new engine aka WoW2 and that is not going to happen.

I was very doubtful at first about this SoD…

But thinking it over and reviewing the available runes so far makes this into something more similar to games like LoL, where the metas change every rebalance or rework a few times a year, making it feel fresh and interesting.

“Classic+” Andys who just want Phase 1-6 + 7,8,9 would complain over lack of content once they cleared the new zone and or raid…

In Sweden we have the saying “Mycket vill ha mer” roughly translated “Much wants more”, speaking of the people getting what they ask for never being satisfied.

This concept of SoD seems like a way to revitalize the entirety of Classic, rebalancing and reimagining the dungeons into raids, with new mechanics and content…

Like I said I had serious doubts, and I still have plenty, but I am also quite optimistic about what this COULD be, will be logging in on the 30th to create another rogue and have a good ol’ time.

Instead of recharging the Warrior meta every few years, they have flipped the script making classes that had ONE eligible duty on raids into multi-viable classes, mainly thinking of druids (healers) shamans (healers) priests (healers) paladins (healers), removing their meme-status on offspec builds.

Having for example a flex-tank meta would be very intriguing. Possibly having 4 flextanks in a raid with each having their superior area of expertise.
Rogues still only have the ability to tank 1-2 targets, possibly becoming the strongest heavy hitting boss tanks. While paladins and warlocks seems to have the aoe tanking priority, possibly also shamans with warriors remaining the best on average for filling all needs but not necessarily the strongest on any, remains to be seen.

TLDR;
*Serious doubts but high hopes.
*Completely different meta.
*Alot more new/changed content along the way.
*Shorter phases than vanilla.

I am sure the is a long term plan from blizzard. Will all those patches they hope to take some new people on retail.

It’s true that new players don’t stay on retail very long… I don’t know if i have played retail for more than 10 hours… I can’t get used to it…

But now i played classic, TBC, Wotlk which is faster, then i will play Cata and so on…

Do you think this is the masterplan of blizzard?

They’re too incompetent for a proper classic+, they just mix retail with vanilla and create this abomination called SoD with seasons yoinked from Ascension WoW and what else, there’s no respect to the lore or original design, grab the game manual, read the classes, then read the new runes and you’ll see how bizarre a mage healer or rogue tank is. Community is also so divided they can’t even listen to proper feedback because it will just turn the game into an even bigger mess.

14

You guys are so retarded its insane :rofl:. It is classic plus, meme specs are viable, new zones, new raid, unifinished zones used. And i cant hear this retail word Bs anymore. All characters are the same, nothing changed. Only new abilities from mostly tbc to cata, people wanted specs to be viable and now they cry, most wow players are depressed no doubt lmao

They are not that incompetent, they just refuse to accept that classic community doesn’t need their new garbage and that they literally have to compete their today skills and achievements with 20 year old game. They just don’t like to lose to 2004 that’s why they desperately try to enforce their vision on old game.

So basically it is not incompetence, it is ego

16

Your only crying, every Post, you didnt even try it out yet :rofl:. Who are you to talk about the classic community what it wants or not ? You guys are 1 % . Try it out and then we see if we like or dont. Btw you can stay on era for another 20 years until you are a plant yourself, No one forces you, gl

Just because SoD is not what you want it to be that doesn’t mean it isn’t Classic+, because it is exactly that. Vanilla without raising the level cap and adding more things in the existing continents.

It is not about like or not. It is just not classic anymore. It is retail+ want you this or not. Again, there is nothing bad in retail + especially if you turn out to like it, just don’t call it classic

If blizzard were to refresh the classic progression, from vanilla to wolk, my opinion is they should do some changes

  1. go faster. i don’t want the progress from vanilla to wolk take another 5 years. By adjusting the rate of content release, loot drop, xp and reputation gain, make it so every era last exactly 1 year.
  2. improve class from the get go. Without going to the extreme of SoD, make class more enjoyable to play and more balance from the start of vanilla
  3. improve the fight, especially in vanilla early raid. I understand Molten Core was the first introductory raid for many wow player, but most classic player are more experienced with raiding now.

In a word, show some care for classic, don’t just copy paste over and over again.
