I was not sure about this, but after talking to my guild mates and friends, I personally think that a race change feature would be a welcome addition to the game.
Why you might ask?
No changes is already out the window. This is the correct choice, because people are going to approach TBC differently just like they did with Vanilla and many people like to play the game more serious.
Also, race changes are basically in the game, by the lvl 58 boost. The only thing is that you throw away all the stuff you have spent months of playtime on.
Certain restrictions have to apply, like no faction change and also no transfer towards bloodelves.
I think that this would be much appreciated by most, since racial change quite a bit, like the spell power change of the orc racial. Imo it just feels bad not having it if you are into PvE.
This is why I’d be against it.
It’d encourage meta races even more.
It’d also allow people to “force” others to change into that race by doing so.
“Not human? lol, just race change or no inv”
You demand your very own need. Nothing wrong with this.
But why you restrict faction change while implying your desire. Level 58 boost you mentioned also can mean an easy faction change in a different server.
The problem is where our demands stop how we restrict it for thousands of players. This kind of demands would bring us into the retail, exact same place, gradually. We already experienced it, didnt we?
The biggest mistake of blizzard was to listen our very personal demands too much in 16 years.
Oh come on. Stop with this fan-fiction. This literally never happens. Or were you ever declined in Vanilla for being an UD mage, Tauren Shaman, etc. etc. ?
Not even in retail, in top 500 raiding guilds was I declined for being a Blood Elf Shadowpriest (instead of Goblin, and that racial is 10x bigger that the Orc one in TBC).
Edit: And yes some guild like progress might require you being BiS race, but that is not a question in such guilds, a member there will already have started leveling a new char with the BiS class/race combo.
I would rather not leave my UD lock behind, because I’ve put months into that char, and there are many people who feel the same way.
Got any more than just repeating what you already said? If not thanks for not having an argument and just being salty.
But why you restrict faction change while implying your desire
I don’t restrict it just because I have a different desire. It is because Bloodelves are a major feature of TBC and therefore shouldnt be boosted/race changed towards too. Also Faction changes would just further the faction imbalance, and having a boost to start over on the other faction is a way smaller impact on faction balance than being able to swap all your chars over.
I do understand it, the issue is, people approach games differently, thus small changes should be made, and it was a mistake to not impelement changes in classic too, like no world buffs in raids e.g.
Ok, so you completely missed the point. I have no issues with different opinions, I have an issue if people can’t argue properly and say things like
which is again just an irrelevant statement, because blizzard hasn’t done a single thing correctly since the inception of classic.
without any context.
Everything is crap but I’m still playing 2 years down the road. K sure dude.
What? See, this is exactly the BS, I was talking about. A slight modification of an argument can change it from a reasonable one to a hyperbole. How can you not understand that?
yeah, I completely missed the point and you’re just here ignoring the fact that classic is an already finished game, rereleased.
I’m sorry oh mighty intellectual, I will not repeat my ignorance again.
See, and this is what you are not getting. It is not about “copy pasting” a game from 15 years ago, it is about providing an experience that is as close as possible to that 15 years ago. And that requires change. If you disagree with this your are simply wrong.
Yeah sure, mock me, that always shows how many arguments someone has left.
