Akin to the thread in the US forum…this is probably a bit early since thunderforging came with ToT and warforging with SoO but still…this probably needs to be said easily.
Please leave these systems out of the game forever. Goes also for a potential future Legion Classic with titanforging, one of the worst systems ever in the game. There’s simply no need for these, it’s rather dumb RNG that you can have no influence at whatsoever. It was supposed to make you feel better about hitting the RNG but instead it always just made you feel bad for not hitting it. “BiS” became unachievable pretty much for most people and all this would do to Classic would make GDKP absolutely insane and the loot more frustrating.
I don’t think thunder-/warforging is a big deal. If I remember correctly the items in MOP could “only” roll 6 ilvls higher - basically “saving” you from having to upgrade that 1 item once at the upgrade guy. I could be wrong - it’s been a while
Titanforging is a whole other story since the item could roll up to the highest ilvl in the game and come from sources outside of raids (world quests, rares etc) - now THAT was crazy. I’m looking at you Unstable Arcanocrystal!
We’re not playing the original experience but nice try with the rage bait.
@Edinah: It’s not as big of a deal as titanforging was but it’s still a dumb RNG system that serves no good purpose in the game. We had plenty of these in the games history and it was always just bad.
Also you were able to upgrade forged items just fine iirc. They weren’t just a 250 valor point save over normal items.
No, we are not. I never said or implied that. But there were no any crucial mechanic like TF that was removed during any ‘classic’ expansion. Something new? Something rethought? Yes. But removed? No. So be ready for that juicy TF procs, they’re cool.
edit. Yeah, maybe LFR, but I consider H+ a good replacement for that. Also, LFR was stripped not because devs considered it bad, but because they broke it and didn’t have time to fix it before DS patch.
Because so far, Classic hasn’t had actual stupid mechanics. So what would you need to remove pre-MoP?
Well now we’re here and the next few xpacs kinda introduce some stupid mechanics. Like this, Garrisons that flood the economy with millions of gold or…well Titanforging later.
So yeah, about time to remove stuff that was bad for the game. Also, forging is not a “crucial” mechanic lol.
For the same reason borrowed power systems lasted like…5 and then they were scrapped. Because surprise surprise, Blizzard can be kinda stubborn sometimes until they get it. Crazy right? That the developers are wrong sometimes eh?
How come they ultimately scrapped Titanforging with no replacement again? Ah sure, because the system was soo good and beloved…good grief.
It’s not a crucial system for the expansion is what I mean mate. Aka it’s not needed. Get it? Probably not but it’s not like trolls are something new on this forum.
Yes it is convenient because it’s true. I’m sorry, you’re the only person I’ve ever seen defending one of the objectively dumbest systems in WoW…yep objectively
We have seen a lot of outcry on the forums for *forging over the years. Some people are just forgetful I guess. I know there isn’t much now, as I said I’m pretty early with this
Also I made this thread because there’s one on the US forum. So nah, I’m not alone in this…unlike you currently.
