Imagine recycling older content

Wrong, there is nothing good feeling about not one shotting something you killed years ago in current times.

9.2.5 is, I guess, what could be called a “bottle episode” patch. 10.0 is a long way off and Blizz don’t have the resources to focus on both the next expack and additional SL content. Season 4 is where either 9.3 or 10.0 should be, but as one has been cancelled and the other delayed, we’re left with a cheap recycled content x.x.5 patch instead.

Complaints from players are imho justified because this is a mess entirely of Blizz’s own making. However, that doesn’t mean there’s anything to be done about it rn. The WoW team is trying to implement big changes to working practices, recruit a lot of new staff and bring them up-to-speed, and also adjust to the future under MS. There’s a lot for them to deal with beyond the actual work of doing their jobs to deliver new content.

Yeah, that was pretty naïve. They obviously forgot about the whole Boaty McBoatface thing.

I have no problem with re-using some old content, it’s about how much.
Legion used the old world a lot in the quests to get our Artifacts and this worked well. I liked the new Naxx but it’s a shame they removed the old one.
They oculd have done a better job with using some old dead characters in Shadowlands but they didn’t.

News Flash it’s Season 4 Patch, all you would get that would be New is another Raid tier, but surprise, they have no more Themes for another raid.

ye people these days are crazy
i enjoyed MOP rework of scarlet crusade
and i LOVED cataclysm reworking old dungeons
it was refreshing and it reminds you why you liked deadmines for example
They should do this way more often
They can have original for low lvl and redesign it for m+ and end game

I hated it. The rework removed 50% of the dungeon. Same with the Scholomance rework.

I hated it. It turned many dungeons from sprawling and immersive places to linear tubes. Look at the Sunken Temple. 50% of the dungeon was cut off. Zul’gurub raid was completely removed.

I wouldn’t had minded if they’d just create new parts for those dungeons or at least give us the ability to access the old versions, but they didn’t do that. They just straight up removed the old versions.

Can’t say for Sunken Temple. I always thought it was awful and it still is. So not done that one much. Agree on the rest though.

I mean, I respect that not everyone liked it, but it felt like an actual dungeon. Like a sprawling labyrinth full of ancient horrors and forgotten secrets. It felt immersive in my opinion.

They could’ve just made LFG make you clear the upper part for the completion and leave the rest. Instead they chose the easy and lazy way as usual.

Well i used to ask for this my self…

But truth be told… Pre-legion dungeons werent made to be dungeons for m+ where they?><

Did some WoD timewalking today… Those becoming m+?.. Idk…

I can’t imagine playing shadowlands with dungeon like sunken temple.
People don’t have the same attention span as we used to have back before cata :smiley:

Who says you still can’t one shot it? Did TW disable the option to go and one shot old raids and dugeons? Did it remove the rewards? Ofcourse not. It added to them. That is why i like scaling content because it does not become a dead one which noone does anymore.

Old content should NEVER be scaled.

Especially when Blizzard flat out lie with statements like “Scaling will not affect older content.”

No one goes into an expansion two expacs old and expects to be floorwiped.

Do tell which boss spanked you into Legion :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I don’t remember getting to Cata and starting right away with one shotting Wotlk. And back then 2012 i think? we didn’t even have scaling

Oh im sorry m nowhere near your skill level dude, please forgove my temerity in suggesting Im not mythic sepulcher world first…

So what boss spanked me in Legion?

Try Eonar.
As a Death Knight.
Solo.

Still.

Hahaha hahaha… hahahaha… noob.

Feel better now?
Good.

Now explain to me why old expac stuff should be scaled to current levels outside of certain game modes like Timewalking.

But I do remember getting to Battle for Azeroth and one-shotting Warlords of Draenor. And I remember getting to Legion and one-shotting Mists of Pandaria. So why exactly shouldn’t I be able to one-shot Legion in Shadowlands?

Because they effed up the scaling I guess

Molten Core was brought back for one of the anniversary events and it was a HUGE success. People were hoping that after that they would bring all the old raids on the anniversary but sadly no.

Na there’s a few wod dungeons that could be great for mythic plus. Also there aren’t any ridiculously long dungeons like classic that would make mythic plus a horrendously long experience

If you speak about retail, I think Blizzard should expand the Timewalk-Feature more and make all content relevant again. Also the gear perhaps. At least the trinkets. There is so low amount of useable loot in every DLC and basically every major patch of a DLC sunsets all former achieved items (since not upgradeable after the season).

They can also then later focus on reworking textures and models of old Areas to make WoW look more modern stylized to improve visual continuity.

It is better than making content obsolete or removing it
