Who is even your target audience at this point ? The game feels like it just turning into retail with making things easier like leveling and reducing the prices. DPS is out of control everyone needs nerfs or content needs tuning. I dont care if people say “hur dur SeAsoNaL”. This is clearly going to effect classic + and the devs alreday stated that our characters will be going somewhere permanent thats is not ERA. Nerf the damn runes across the board. Make the game more challenging by adding heroic dungeons like with burning crusade so they stay relevant. Trying to keep a guild cohesive with 10 man content is stupid also. Would love to see CC and Stuns being important in group content again and punish AOE zergs would be a good step. Just my personal opinion from someone who likes at least a small challenge.
they can’t make dungeons more challenging because the mechanics of vanilla dungeons has to be reworked, you can’t merely boost stats of mobs/bosses.
the rune system is no where near tuned enough also.
for example, lets say you are in scarlet monestary, and they boosted the mobs HP by 50%, damage by 20% e.t.c the healer would go OOM, how would they buff the healers throughput without effecting PvP?
People who want to experience the vanilla world, with changes.
I think it’s fair to say that it’s not just the player discovering things this season, but also the devs. They’re trying new things, discovering what works and what doesn’t.
Most players do not want difficult content, it has been shown time and time again. They want short raids, target dummy bosses and easy loot. You are the minority on that point.
I agree that the xp boost is a nonsense and the gold become mere and more trivial.
I am not on SOD for the ease of retail. I want challenge and i want that my leveling worth something.
Actually all what the op said can be done. Look at wrath classic which introduced the new dungeon difficulties which were dubbed heroic+, alpha, beta and titan rune difficulties search google for info.
All this stuff about it cant be done is incorrect considering rune system didnt exist nor did these new abilities
Shut up looser, GTFO off the game if you don’t like it the rest of us are having a blast
Very constructive. Would you like your dummy back ? There are far less players in p2 than in p1 so “the rest of us” is gonna keep shrinking.
Sounds like bloat to me
The faster the rest of you leave the better the game and less drama on the forum pls hurry up and leave
It’s already too late imo. Making the grind of old content long is kinda stupid since no one want to grind something they laready did multiple times at this point, on the other hand the new content is bad and the game designers are lost it seems. I feel like sod was unprepared and they’re working on it on the go which cannot match players expectation. I had a blast in p1 but p2 is more like a purge : either farm the long way old content or bypass it by forcing yourself to go to sh*tty events.
They’re doing the same mistake than retail did creating content to let it die super fast once new content is released. Which means the content never gets the love it needs to actually be good. If those pvp events were new bg’s carrying over the phases they could be worked on to actually eventually be good but they just poop new bad content instead.
- the classes rework is bad idea from the start, the amount of work it requires is massive while the amount of actual new content it brings to the game is minimal.
They’re a small team so it’s not entirely their fault but sod doesn’t feel very new compared to classic since what’s new is bad (except for the raids that are kinda cool but very limited and not challenging enough).
what we got new for an entire phase aka 3 month :
- the sleeping bag that is cool to do, takes artound 1 houre and that’s it
- the class tweaks which end up making the game even more unbalanced
- 1 raid
- waylaid supplies that are irrelevant
- Items a bit modified, let’s say the new craft quest add around 1 day of gaming
- the pvp event which is a purge tbh
Clearly not enough to feed me for 3 month and I haven’t played classic since Nostalrius got shut down, so I wasn’t a huge player. Can’t imagine how borring this must be for people who already did the classic release
The Major reason for many people (including me) leaving is the Community of SOD. Every Raid is the same garbage. Have Full clear EXP, Worldbuff, Pots and stupid little Gearscore checks.
I left SOD P2 the moment I seen People asking for Gearscore Checks for Stockades, because its the same garbage that ruined Raids in P1 all over again with P2 and will be with P3 as well.
So you blaming blizzard because the classic community is full of apes?
join a guild?
