Some rewards will be available, however - including the now-unobtainable Violet Spellwing!

@blizzard, this is not cool at all.

i made countless of tickets and suggest reports for the aotc mount from garosh that you could’ve get from normal in mop and you gave us excuses that it has some sort of prestige and you could’t get it back in mop remix and now with legion remix you bring back aotc mount from hc argus - Violet Spellwing! , really ?!

Great news !

Warlords made me quit the game at the time and as a result I completely skipped legion and missed out on these cool rewards.

I hope they add some more unobtainable stuff into remix

If anything they are pretty inconsistent with their decisions.

MoP AoTC Mount and CM mogs - no way
Legion AoTC Mount and Flawless Mythic mogs - here you go

Mage tower appearances not available, time-limited skill based prestige stuff. Was very easy at end the of xpac btw, no prestige or skill at all, I have the warrior ones and if I remember correctly, did it overgeared and it was a joke because it did not scale… Yes, I focused on one main character only back then, my bad :slight_smile:

AoTC and Flawless mythic appearances available why then?

Like what? And this comes from someone who does not have that stuff, but I do not understand these inconsistent decisions at all.

It is almost like they are throwing a bone with some time limited stuff randomly being made available again while keeping the “prestige” for some selected items and giving out illogical explanations not in line with previous decisions.

your best bet is to play legion classic when it comes and the streamer name on whom your character is based upon plays mostly classic version of the game .so no idea why you would complain xD .

what they need to do is link classic to retail, period.
rewards and unlocks you achieve in classic should carry into retail.
Now is the time to do it with MoP classic and continue with future classic expansions

I don’t want to have to go and play Classic to farm things, so personally I’d rather they leave them separate. Would seem like a move to boost player stats in Classic rather than any genuine addition to Retail.

I’m not against any of it being brought back but stick it in Remix or some other means in Retail.

Yeah sure, because the two games have the same audience /s.

Imagine if it was the other way around, if you could link retail to classic, and send gold form your retail characters, or boost your classic chars with your retail friends.

There is a reason that both games are separate and that is because they have a different target group. They said that we will never have linked progression from retail to classic and that is a good thing.

isnt it anyway just 1 more mount what never gets used, and is only there as an collectable?

havent seen one riding it for the past 7 years now

i also only used it 2 times, and never used it again

then don’t
those who care about the rewards will.

i don’t understand your logic at all.

the argument i see around here is that ‘rewards’ should be exclusive to people who put in the effort.

well, leveling a character in classic, gearing it up and achieving the exact same challenge from 15 years ago does meet the ‘challenge and effort’ criteria.

give me one good reason why linked progression between classic retail is a ‘bad thing’.

nobody said anything about mailing gold between the 2.

I just can’t get excited over a mount anymore.
It’d have to be something that really, really appeals to me, but most of the time Blizzard makes over the top stuff with ugly saddles or sparkly glowly effects that I don’t want.

I do get your disappointment though.
No content should ever be made unavailable. None.

i mean this means Gametime, so not that bad for Microsoft

i tried to level in Anniversary classic, it took me 100000 years to get to Max level, i never do it again

No, it will make every collector have to play a separate game to gather things in Retail.

It will never happen. The odd cross promotion where you do a starting area for 20-40 mins is fine. But having to go through every single expansion as it’s re released as a Classic is too much.

it won’t make a difference, people are pulling up arguments out of their behinds.

this is pretty much the same as the collector’s event.
i was unsubbed for around 6 months,
i resubbed just to farm the mounts and i’m out.

i would’ve done the same for this,
sub for a month, level up a char, gear it up, clear the challenge modes to unlock the skin in retail and i’m out.
if i was a permanent retail player, it would’ve been the same
spend downtime in retail to unlock the remaining challenge modes skins then i’m out of there till legion.

i mean yeah, but when it comes to classic rewards, it takes longer than just 1 Month

scarab lord, corrupted ashbringer/ t3 / Atiesh, hunter leaf bow, Zg mounts etc

so be it,
and these rewards will remain exclusive to the people willing to spend the time to get them.
i don’t see why not.

however things changed after vanilla,
for example, me personally i couldn’t care less about vanilla rewards (effort vs reward)

however MoP challenge mods, legion mage tower etc…
those actually do matter to me since they can be achieved in a relatively fair game time.

The levelling is slow, then the gearing up etc.

Imagine making Classic players do Retail seasons to get rewards in Classic. Just no.

the problem what i see, many old mates/friends of mine what are playing classic since the 2019 one until now cata/mop, are a different target audience, they dont even care about retail anymore (sadly)

i asked j4f 1 week ago in trade chat on Firemaw biggest eu server, if people are gonna play Retail wow if they can transfer their classic char to retail with their mounts and moggs, and close to everyone said clearly (no) i was kinda surprised tbh

i mean i dont mind it either, but the problem what i have with this thing is, that players are even more spread across the different game modes, or some quit retail because of farming 6-8 months only classic rewards

i don’t blame them
Classic is far superior in quality and content to retail
MoP was pretty much my favourite expansion, not any other expansion comes even close.

however i’m not going back to play classic,
i would only go back to unlock the few remaining class challenge modes skins i still need and then i’m out of there (assuming they do link the 2)

i feel that i’ve invested too much time in my retail account and i just don’t want to start all over again.

your friends possibly don’t care that much about their retail characters and just want to enjoy the classic content, and i understand them.

No, they just need to re-add the content that has been removed, including its rewards.

To play devil’s advocate, they have already “forced” us (by “us” I mean collectors) to play Classic to get specific rewards in Retail, with the green astral-like snake dragon being the latest such reward.
And they also force us to watch 4-hours (or just have it run in the background at 144p and muted in my case) of Twitch for another exclusive reward.

I would prefer for 100% of content to never be removed and be entirely obtainable in-game.
