Wow awesome retail tbc cant wait to spend 70$ sense of achievement for reaching lvl 60? accomplishment of having a 100% mount that people still dont even have in Classic? just give us 70$ to skip half the game so you can quit faster and we rake in the quick bucks.
“oh but mage boosts exists and gold seller and bots” yeah dude and there are lucrative ways to garner real world wealth and progress do you do it just because its easy? do you expect everyone do it? “thats a silly comparison” yepp as is the notion of your rebuttal troglodyte.
Will I play tbc? nope, will I stay on Classic era? yepp Will I unsubscribe? no clue, but the egregious greed and intentional sabotage around Classic WoW from Blizzard is most certainly swaying me towards such a decision, not to mention their hateful employees online aswell as their lack of spine regarding Hong Kong and still Swifty’s npc is removed. But if someone passes away? OH MAN jumped on that PR asap, wonder if his npc would get removed following a baseless call for harrasment.
They never said you would have time to level a new char to 60 during prepatch, they said
“So that before we actually open the Dark Portal, you’ll have a chance to level those up” - Holly Longdale
so stop spreading fake news
I suggest people actually have a look at how many game dev companies hire and fire people inbetween projects, blizzard laying of staff in a down period isnt unheard of !
As for “we where told we could lvl a char in Pre patch”… eh NO you where NEVER told that , you where told - you will have access to Belf/Draenei (squid) in PRE patch so you can START leveling if you so wish !
I suggest they go back to OG launch and dont give those 2 new races AT ALL ! …
All i read on this forum is spoilt kids crying about the thing they didnt get but wanted because EVERYONE else has it according to them !
here is what was said…
from blizzard tracker posts…
‘With the release of the Burning Crusade Classic pre-expansion patch, players will also get access to the Blood Elf and Draenei races early before the Dark Portal opens. This will allow players to get a jump on leveling so they can join their friends in Outland.’
in my book that means i would be able to get to minimum lvl 55 to enter the dark portal to ‘join’ my friends in outlands as the post says… before it opens… to be able to lvl it abit, is not what was said, you cant join anyone in outlands if you are not lvl enough to enter, the first quest you can get at lvl 58.
Edit: maybe you dont read it the same way i do, but even without getting access to the new races before outland, i would then still be able to 'lvl them and join my ‘friends’ in outlands, it is misleading if it dosnt mean you get enough time to actually level up to join friends in outlands as it begins.
‘what is enough time ?’ its not 2 weeks unless you play 24/7 / boosting, 3 weeks would be just about enough time, 4 preferred.
IDD. People should be happy to be able to level their belf/draenei on prepatch. It wasnt like this back in 2007. U were only able to create them at tbc launch. Reading some comments here is just how delusional people became nowadays. People will always have a reason to cry about these days. Theres nothing wrong with 2 weeks of prepatch, sure they shouldve announced the actual TBC Date abit earlier for ppl to book off days from work but it is what it is right. In the end every1 of you gonna play tbc anyways :).
You are saying that I should be happy that I have chance to play blood elfs and draenei on pre patch. Yes I am that wasn’t part of the original plan. You know what wasn’t part of the original plan? Store mounts and character boosts. Also blizzard said that was gonna give us time in pre patch anw it’s not like people started asking more things that were promised in the first place
ur not forced to buy the storemount, its ugly and useless anyways since its only a ground mount, right? I agree that the character boost is a big yikes, still people gonna buy it. But look at all the pve and pvp changes they make in classic tbc - those are huge positives points compared what they released with WoW classic… We get official TBC servers from blizzard and u dont even have to pay anything but gametime to play it… but yea people will always cry as i said.
Finally, several new expansion launches for other live games were announced that would have coincided with our test starting June 1st. We estimate roughly 25% of our current testing pool are active players across these titles combined.
