Quality of life improvements

Hello everyone,
i would like to make the case for a few quality of life improvements without breaking the classic vibes. This is for classic era and hardcore, of course.

  1. I would like to see transmog added to classic. The point of classic is not to go back in time to 2004 but to allow players to continue experiencing the classic systems making them current. Transmog would add to it and adding it would not, imho, break any classic vibes. What if blizzard thought of that in 2004, would they not put it in? What would change, game wise? But it will def give a lot more flavor to the game and uniqueness to each char.
  2. Mail. The way the system is made now, only hinders fun. We have to wait so long to get that new piece of equipment from an alt, or to send money for training, breaking the gaming flow and it is even worse for those that have limited gameplay time. Instant mail between your characters (same account) would help a lot towards the immersion.
  3. Flight paths. Adding a few more (or a bunch more) flight paths to the game, in strategic positions would be very very good to keep us doing what we need to be doing faster and better as walking everywhere gets old after your first main gets to level 60. You would have to discover them anyway, right?
    There are a lot more QoL improvements that could be added without breaking classic, but this ones would be the most important and less impactful ones.
    Cheers,
    Andro

Mate, why are you in such a hurry? I mean i got limited time to play the game too, and now i should request everything to be easier or faster because of it? I lvled my priest for the last 4months, and i enjoyed every single momet of it, so these changes are really not necessary… If you dont like it the way it is, or don’t have time to play then im sorry to say it mate, but you gotta find another game…

You misunderstand, i love the way it is, but i have a ton of alts… maybe you do not have so it will be difficult for you to understand my post. I am also sure i am not the only player in that position.

I feel your pain. I too altoholic. I too limited game time. But NO, I do no agree. Things to make Classic faster is all bad. Is start of silppery slope.

Transmogs - I would like too. but ONLY Character specific, meaning your level 14 Hunter cannot transmog what your level 45 Warrior has or indeed other way around.

I would accept that transmog limitation, i also think transmog should be char specific.
As for flight paths, it would be just convenience.
As for instant mail, this would be only for your account…

I understood limitations to mail. I still disagree. Era/HC is not for Convenience, is for immersion. You send package IRL, does not arrive moment you send it. You take bus or train IRL, does not drop you at doorstep.
Is a question of acustoming you to this. Next time you think: I want fast! Draw deep breath, Think instead: I want relax, I want fun, I want chill, and then walk for a time by hit / - then back to normal speed = you happy :smiley:

I know not expect realism from games, but having things too fast leads to want more fast …

I understand what you are saying, but, just one thing, irl there is no mages, trolls, gnomes, gryphons, etc… :slight_smile:

I know, I amended post with add last line :wink: even before you reply

Also, at least for hardcore this changes would be good. People cannot say hardcore is classic vanilla, there was no such thing as dying and losing their char…

I still disagree. Fast is not good. Is not Quality. Fast leads to more want faster …

And as for no death: Well … not organised no. But we were bunch playing no death almost from start. Bothered by box on p. 30 of World of Warcraft Game Manual:

No matter how good an adventurer you are, eventually you will know the sting of death. Thankfully, death in the World of Warcraft isn’t permanent.

Not one of these things should ever be added, go back to retail

This could be neat. I will be honest, the lack of transmog is probably the major obstacle for me to do anything more than just jump into classic for more than couple of days/weeks, because even when the systems are fun, the mixed gear clown suits really dampen the mood for a fashion conscious player (me)

Edit: Should probably stick to the season realms for it tho so it doesn’t ruin it for the era players or something.

this might cause good results, but sadly blizzard don’t care. Also, people who play wow classic gone mad for such simple things, because they don’t want other people to be happy. We are talking about people who gone crazy after “body type” rework which affects nothing.

I also agree that it could be nce to look nice. I would for Classic like one more change :wink:
Grey and white gear also able to transmog. So many pieces for mail is nice grey/white, but ugly as … on higher quaility.

  1. Absolutely not
  2. Yes
  3. Not needed/irrelevant to the game

Here you see how and why no changes is best. My replies were:

  1. why not - but personal
  2. no way
  3. nope

1 point common :wink:
You can’t please everyone, so let’s keep classic how is.

Maybe they add that to SOD. Leave classic out of it. Nobody needs this crap.

Seems like you are not a Classic player after all. One of the things which define Classic is you can meet people in the open world; something which got killed when flying mounts and more flight point was added.

So for your suggestions: just stay in retail, they got it all :slight_smile:

Absolutely against transmogs!!!

One of the worst features of modern WoW.

I agree with the other two points though, but honestly, neither of those two bother me enough to warrant a QoL change

I honestly do not understand this sentiment. What is so wrong with allowing people to look as they wish using pieces they collected on their journey?
