SoD is a meant to be a sort of a test level for Classic+. TBC is not Classic+. Add new content like Scarlet Enclave not rehash content.
Actually, TBC is Classic+

SoD showed me that I don’t want classic+ because we dont have a 2004 dev team.

Not at all.
Thank goodness for that.
It always has been and it was all of the things the original developers wanted to put in Vanilla. Improved talent trees, heroic dungeons, many improvements to PvP and professions but at the core it’s still “Classic” until Wrath came along.
Karazhan for example was an unfinished Vanilla raid.

I’ve enjoyed SoD, but TBC is definitely closer to the C+ I’d want than SoD ended up being.
SoD population has already been decreasing. Most everyone who played SoD did everything they wanted to do in it. Blizz stated before it came out that it was a seasonal thing and would have an end date so that caused most to not want to invest more time into it than was needed.
SoD is Classic+ They added things in that were not in originally Classic which is exactly what the definition of Classic+ is.
Yea that poster…I think you are talking to someone who doesn’t play any version of the Classics. The best they could do to post on the SoD threads here was to find a non leveled retail toon and then say a bunch of untrue, silly things.
TBC is retail, go play retail.
Certainly don’t hear something that brain dead every day do ya?
Nice of you to assume, but I have a BiS character from P7 in SoD, multiple 60’s on Era and like 5 or 6 85s in Cata.
But continue, by all means.
SoD isn’t exactly what anyone would have expected from a proper Classic+ and that’s fine because SoD was a lot of fun. But TBC is obviously miles closer to “Vanilla” than SoD ended up being.
I shouldn’t have to state the obvious examples.
This actually came up during raid last night. In a hypothetical situation where they announced SoD there would be a pretty good chance I’d sell off any assets I have left on my characters and take a break before it launched. Though I’d definitely come back to play said hypothetical SoD TBC… So it’s hard to gauge whether that’d be a net positive or negative for them long term. I don’t personally have any interest in playing retail, nor do I want the grind of going to anniversary and leveling/making gold ahead of TBC.
I don’t think that’s any sort of great epiphany though as I think Blizzard has been very conscious of that effect for a very long time with it’s reveals.
All that being said, I think the odds of a SoD TBC happening is slim to nil. But that’s nothing but intuition talking, I’m just a Johnny Regularplayer like all of us here.
Silly billy. player count would at least double.
I agree. Honestly they shouldn’t add anything and just end it. Classic+ should of just been over at naxx. Stop adding things. People want content but classic is all about logging to get buffs/consumes then logging off at raid entrance. It’s super simple not hard to do.
This but unironically.
The current dev team has proven they have no idea what made vanilla so appealing, hence why SoD turned into retail with less content.
It was easier than EQ1 and EQ2. That’s what made it appealing.
Vanilla has never been appealing. You’re not playing vanilla on any server. Vanilla is go getting world buffs and logging out in front of raid just to log in before raid to sit inside the raid so that u secure ur spot on ur server since old server pops were about 3k. You play some weird hyper gold inflate baby mode vanilla. Sod has done a very good job at turning this abomination into something playable. Unfortunately it still suffers from lack of anything to do at end game besides raid log. Meaningful content that progresses ur character is non existent in vanilla outside of raiding.
