Add Character Recustomization in TBC

[Elfkin-atiesh]

yes, you do look amazing. look better than me, for sure. heck ungandir looks better than me.

[Luckey-mankrik]

I would support the barbershop in TBC, this is 100% pure cosmetic, is not a “cash shop” thing and really only impacts how you personally feel about the looks of your character.

I mean, this is the #somechanges TBC Classic, and things like this would I predict be enjoyed by more people returning to the game.

[Jimmirustler-kirtonos]

I Personally (gotta emphasize) would like transmog in but I know that won’t happen. I liked farming old gear for looks.

[Elfkin-atiesh]

thats why i say, be glad, be very glad, that i dont have any sway with blizz, cause i’d have limited transmogs, high elves for alliance and eredar for horde in tbc. haha.

[Arkane-bloodsail-buccaneers]

@Elfkin-atiesh

high elves for alliance

Yes please!

Can you get them on those Undead Paladins I want?

[Elfkin-atiesh]

that would be cool. maybe one day, they’ll make alternate versions of classic era, where they are…enhanced/tweaked a bit. i’m gonna miss seeing worgen and goblins too.

Ok here I’m on higher ground if your worried about my main. I didn’t play much p6 due to re-rolling alliance for TBC and guild dying. Check p5

Don’t care about your main but that does help, 2 people arguing with no stakes in the outcome is absurd.

Shouting at someone for posting on a retail character while posting on a low level alt is apples to apples.

@Ungandir-benediction

Did you ever play TBC? It didn’t have this and shouldn’t.

I did, would have loved the barber shop back then. Played a Female Blood Elf Paladin with a pony tail that clipped through every shield I wore.

@Ungandir-benediction

Even if we get those, people like you will still force these other changes because “muh hair”. It only leads to fair weather retail players crying for more and more garbage being added to the game and we will end up with retail 2.0

I believe the barber shop is one of the lowest impact changes that could be made. If the “slippery slope” leads to more detrimental changes being discussed we can argue again, possibly on the same side.

You can’t say every feature added through the life of WoW had a negative impact on the experience.

@Ungandir-benediction

Just leave classic as it is and play the game that has literally everything you want already in it. You can even go play the TBC content and feel like a special little purple haired princess

You’re trying real hard to push the demeaning rhetoric.

If it was possible to get a Classic experience by playing Retail we wouldn’t have Classic servers in the first place. Retail is an amalgamation of changes (good and bad) that cannot be compared to Classic.

@Luckey-mankrik

Can you get them on those Undead Paladins I want?

Only if we also get Undead Druids with decaying mangy animal forms.

[Luckey-mankrik]

@Xane-faerlina

Only if we also get Undead Druids with decaying mangy animal forms.

Yes please. And instead of a pretty bird form, you turn into a ugly black crow! No, no a volture!

[Elfkin-atiesh]

@Xane-faerlina

decaying mangy animal forms.

poor critters!

Using this logic it’s already retail 2.0 because we’re getting Paladin changes that weren’t in TBC.

Which means we’re going to get LFR, cross-realm zones, dungeon finder, homogenization because “muh slippery slope”.

Or maybe it’ll be retail 3.0. Classic should be retail 2.0 any day now since they had layering so that means all of these features are automatically going to be added.

Any day now the sky will fall. Just you wait and see.

[Ungandir-benediction]

The problem is, once the changes are in and we are on the same side. It’s too late, protect the game now while it’s not messed up and enjoy those features in retail. Why do we need two versions with the same stuff. People like you don’t understand preventative measures vs reacting when it’s too late to stop it.

[Ungandir-benediction]

Yep I agree, but why keep adding to the pile? Why ruin classic so people can “feel” special. All these things seem to be gaining momentum on a very slick downward hill.

[Elfkin-atiesh]

they never implement any of my crazy classic+ ideas, i dunno why. such as a 5th specs. just like with druid forms, every class gets access to forms. warlock’s 5th spec is banshee/lich form, called necromancy spec. warriors have vrykul/ogre form, called beserker spec. priests have naga form, called sorcery spec. mages have high elf form called wizardry spec. etc. also karazhan crypts become a classic like dungeon. emerald dream becomes new questing zone . dragon isles become a new raid/questing zone. hehe

[Sabetha-turalyon (Sabetha)]

Let’s be honest here: Me being able to change my hair style isn’t ruining Classic for anybody.

The “ruining” of Classic and the idea of the slippery slope is fearmongering used by people to try and get their way. We saw with Classic that change does not beget more change.

The idea of a Blizzard that simply cannot help themselves didn’t come to pass like many said it would. We did not get LFR and cross-realm. We did not get homogenized classes. We didn’t even get class balance changes.

What do you think we’re doing right now? There’s no barber shops in the beta, we’ve seen no announcement about adding them, unless there’s another survey I didn’t get selected for and haven’t heard about we haven’t even gotten a hint that they’re considering the barber shop specifically.

We’re discussing in the void.

@Ungandir-benediction

Why do we need two versions with the same stuff. People like you don’t understand preventative measures vs reacting when it’s too late to stop it.

Then we should scrap the Classic Era servers as well? That’s just a blatant cash grab from Blizz. Why run a separate version of Classic when you can just play TBC and do the same thing.

you mean he’s trying to make me quit playing my favorite game over nothing?! he called me a purple haired princess, for nothing?!

the boosts and seal changes are scaring people. barbershop is not like either of those things, for 1) it doesnt require you pay blizzard money to use it and 2) it doesnt change how the game functions mechanically.

but i relent. i dont want the barbershop now. and i will dutifully level up 2 priests thru old world content to get to my beloved tbc.

[Ungandir-benediction]

It’s not about you as an individual, it’s about preserving the purity of the game (I understand it’s already defiled in many ways) and not letting it go down the same road we did in retail. All these little changes that won’t effect anybody open the door to more and more. It’s death by a thousand cuts, once everyone gets their little desires for something that doesn’t effect anybody you end up with a different game. It’s never just one change or ok barber shop and done. They will push for xmog next cause “it don’t effect nobody”. Then wow token cause it “doesn’t effect anybody”.

You have all these options in retail, enjoy them there. Let TBC be TBC and appreciate it for what it is. It may not be perfect or cater to every little want or desire, but that’s why it’s perfect. Perfection in imperfection.
