I seriously can’t believe there are people out there who want NOTHING added to classic no matter how good it would be for the game. There are many things that are done well in Retail that players would love to have but it seems like nobody is interested because iTs nOt ClAsSiC.
I don’t understand why mounts are locked until level 40, why it costs so much, etc. That doesn’t make the game more fun. Hard =/= fun.
I think Blizzard should make a Classic+ server and just add everything they want, new graphics, new mounts, new instances, LFG/LFR tool, whatever.
Why not? See what happens!
I think they should keep one or two servers dedicated to pure classic experience. Update the rest of the servers with QoL and make the game better.
BFA is that way ----->
Because a lot of people just want to play the game that they loved, but didn’t exist anymore until recently. A lot of people would rather just not play WoW at all in its retail state, and asking the same team who makes the retail version to add things to the game that they love is just asking for trouble.
What does best of both worlds mean to you? Obviously I don’t want BFA but there are things that are done well there that would make Classic better.
I struggle to think of anything added to wow in any expansion that I actually feel improved the game.
“Best of both worlds” means streamlining the game and making it baby mode.
No.
Arenas for one.
Oh gosh no. Arenas made them vastly change how they balanced classes for PvP.
I disagree. Not even a fan of battlegrounds honestly. world pvp should be the only pvp in game.
there was only one world then
You saying it doesn’t make it fun doesn’t mean it doesn’t make it fun. And there are roughly 100 million different opinions on what constitutes ‘fun’. Blizzard can never please them all, and we’ve seen what happens when they try. And going down that road a second time would be a disaster. What Blizzard can do is recreate the Vanilla experience. Because then you disregard those 100 million different opinions and simply make an objective recreation. Which is what they’ve done.
Hard =/= fun
Hard = challenging = rewarding = fun
The QoL changes made things convenient but it also lead to me having a bunch of different alts that made it to level 30 after just a couple days. Without any feeling of hardship, I have no attachment to any of them and would often log on to one and then immediate realize “I don’t give a s***” and log off.
Meanwhile, it took 7 hours to get a character to level 10 on the stress test and I immediate felt invested, even though that character had lousy equipment and would get erased in a day or two.
1 hour per level if you’re putting in 100% is a good balance. That way getting to 60 should take a few weeks to 1-2 months for most players.
It’s too much rn.
If you want to QoL your way to level cap just play retail, they have 15 years of QoL improvements and no queue.
That’s because you don’t understand that we don’t want a new game.
But I do and I pay as much as you. No new content and I (along with 85% of the communty) unsub.
“Good” is subjective. What’s good for the Fox is bad for the rabbit. The entire point of classic is it’s for people who hate what the modern game has become. If you want the modern conveniences and contrivances, then a game already exists for you. It’s just not classic.
Except the point isn’t new content. It’s enjoying an old game.
