Will Classic always be at the state it is now, or do they plan on adding some Quality Of Life features while keeping the classic play-styles? Will they add LFR/LFG? Will they add the auto updating action bar when you get new spells?
The little UI things that improved the game without changing the game play. Having played in Vanilla when it was production I have noticed smaller changes to the code sometimes leaving me to question my own recollection. I hope they continue to progress the classic version without changing the overall mechanics and play-style.
Fun Fact : your toon in classic can jump higher and farther on foot than your mount in Retail. My mount in Retail cant jump the half height bannister in boralus at full sprint, yet my toon in classic can jump full height fences from a stand still.
I miss the good developers that brought us WoW originally, Today’s Dev Team lacks leadership, innovation and player understanding.
please link it, I been playing for years , i decided to take a break from 6000th time doing the same daily in retail and rolled on classic, I looked under the blue posts but did not find any comment as to will teh continue to develop or integrate the QOL features or how long it will be available . I would love to read the roadmap. Thanks.
I read that one, it has no mention of what I asked. I asked about QOL changes , not phased dungeons and BG’s. I understand the content will be phased. I thought you had another post that touched on those.
Classic was great, It can still be classic-great but at the same time add the little non game-changing convenience additions. [quote=“Noktus-pagle, post:7, topic:403668, full:true”]
it’s literally stickied in this forum.
You asked for Classic, aka Vanilla, and you got what you asked for! As the saying goes “be careful what you wish for because you just might get it”.
You want all the things you miss from retail it is waiting in “Retail”.
Retail is garbage, caters to the lowest of player ability/effort(Any 8 year old can play retail and advance), what I am asking/wishing for is not a change to the game play/mechanics itself. little things like a LFG rather than using spamming trade chat or using CLassicLFG addon, FP shown on map, minimap filters for Mailboxes /repair. Guild Banks FTW.
If you want QoL retail exists. Classic is classic and will stay classic for everyone who spent years playing it on private servers. No other version of WoW had the same following on private servers as Vanilla. Blizzard made Classic to stop private servers from making money off their IP.
Ideally, in my opinion, it will always be in the state it is now.
That would be terribly annoying in WOW Classic. It wasn’t designed for such a thing. There are way too many spells, not all spells people want on their bars, and there are many ranks. The basic single action bar (12 spots) would be full in no time.
Some spells are better using Rank 1, even if other ranks are learned, just because the mana cost is lower and the desire effect is the same. (Curse of Recklessness as a warlock gives them less boosted attack power if I use Rank 1, but still provides the fear control.) Downranking is a very real thing.
And yet here you are hoping for changes to WOW Classic that would be done by “today’s Dev Team” (even if it is today’s WOW Classic Dev Team).
Your concept of “not changing the game play” is just a tidge off the wall.
For all their failings, hopefully the current dev team understands, as you apparently do not, that adding the wonderful new quality of life features that Brack referred to when he said “you think you do, but you don’t” would gut Classic and revitalize private servers.
