You shouldnt let people level alliance shamans and horde paladins in pre patch. You makr It easier for guilds to just smash through the content, so retail andys and asmongoldians can feel good about themself talking about how easy it is.
Ofc It is, when you get buffs all the time.
tbc is supposed to be the easiest expansion. i.e you finish the game a month in when you are done with your attunements, reps and gold. Why have horde paladins and alliance shamans have to play the game a week longer than the rest of their factions?
If Its so easy, why do you need time to level It?
I really disagree with this. Attunements are really time- consuming (I know this isn’t the same as “hard”) and alt- unfriendly. Leveling still takes some time, i.e. you won’t be 70 in a day or two if you play normally, raids are harder than Classic, epsecially since we’ll be getting pre- nerf bosses, unlike Classic. Sunwell will kick people’s behind. Crafting is gonna take a lot of time since we all need primals and nethers from HC dungeons. The rep grind to even acces HC dungeons…
And then we have WoTLK, where all the above is gone. So no, TBC isn’t the easiest expansion. I’d even go as far to say it’s the hardest and most time- consuming of the 3 classic WoW- versions.
phase 1 is easy as hell anyway so who cares
You need shamans more than paladins so Alliance would be at even higher disadvantage and just inflating Horde reroll even more (or migration to PvE and PvP Alliance monofaction realms).
Next - every boost seller would thank Blizzard for the monetization opportunities it would create. Pre-existing guilds would quickly boost their pala/shamans while getting gold or RMT from everyone else - not to mention that less players would bother with new races if they have to loose a week or two of TBC to just level them without RMT boosting.
They can boost any number of characters “for free” any day of week. Something normal player can’t do. Your change would only impact “normal” players.
they say it’s pre nerf but in reality it will be so much easier then back in the days, coz blizz is lazy…
The game is too easy…
So you prevent people to level a class in particular?
I can understand the goal but the method doesn’t make sense.
Its made to be easy boys, thats the fun of it.
Tbc wasnt easy- it will be easier cuz everybody who didnt played back than takes the game to seriously.
Watching 1000 guides for pve/pvp leveling like some robots.
After 14 years ofc its easier, add to thet all the guides and people who rush all content, ofc they cry its easy and booring.
Its not something new, but tbc will atleast be
More skill intensive than classic pve/pvp wise; atleast thats a plus!
I remember spending all day killing bogs in the northeast of zangamarsh on my 70 druid, then going and tanking kara etc.
That was fun, regardless of easy, it was fun. I farmed gold, bought my consumes and such and raided to have more fun, this is what it’s about.
The average gear of players is so much higher now than back then. I mean, T3 and legendaries
/ MoM / Edge were prestige back then. Now it feels like WotLK naxx gear level of rarity. Every raider / gold buyer have those.
Leveling will be a breeze.
The only thing that will slow down guilds is attunement and get it on the whole raid team. There is always the lazy types that will not do rhem ^^
The guilds who will be clearing tier 4 content week 1 aren’t either of those, they are private server players who’ve done this over and over again, just like classic wow phase 1.
Either way other people going faster than you should have no impact of your enjoyment of the game.
Let the sweatlords sweat and the rest of us have a good time.
I can confirm the last part too.
I started Classic in late phase1 and it didn’t felt like I was behind or missing something. Moreover I created my alt in Phase5 and again I felt no “behindness”.
That’s the whole “magic” of the game.
Ulduar and ICC on hard mode is definitely harder than tbc raids. On the other hand pre nerf heroics where your tank would get 2-3 shot in tbc were harder than wotlk. I guess it will depend what content you look at
so when something is time consuming it means its hard?
cause TBC is just Time consuming game
the gameplay wise it’s the smash one or 2 buttons game nothing more nothing less
“I haven’t been stuck on the first trash pack for 3 hours! It’s too easy!”
Yes. Time is a difficulty.
Since a lot of players can’t handle the Classic leveling : it’s difficult for them in some way. Hard content doesn’t mean only ultra skilled gameplay. It could be because of RNG/Time/IQ etc…
Ex : if bodybuilding was requiring only 1 week of efforts to get muscular way more people would be.
By no means are TBC Easy…
Leveling 60-70 takes quite a while (its not done in 1 day, trust me)
Theres alot of rep to do, and the casual player wont get that done immediately… There will be alot of guilds that takes a month or so, easily, before even stepping foot into Karazhan…
