Any plans on implementing Dual Spec?

No you can’t, you are as usual incorrect.

Add ons cannot remove travel time to a trainer, actually all add ons do is automate repicking your talents.

And this will most likely be added to the game in WotLK on schedule like it is suppose to.

My gut tells me they might drop something like this in the Wrath prepatch. It’s a popular feature and will generate hype for the follow-up classic expansion.

I really doubt they’d drop it earlier than that though - no point. Not commercially. Would be a waste of good hype to drop it in a less consequential spot in the timeline.

Also, I don’t have skin in this anymore. It’s late enough in TBC that it barely matters if they do or don’t.

X … One of the Boomers failures.

The addons don’t remove the travel time or the gold cost.

And addons do more than set up your talents. They can set up gear sets, action bar layouts, and talent selection templates for easy switching.

But your issue with the lack of dual spec isn’t the travel time. It’s the gold. You already proved that. You want dual spec purely because of gold cost of respecing.

And as usual you continue to be incorrect and fail to understand the actual issue. The issue is the entire process, which includes gold, travelling and redoing bars/gear/etc. All of which are ultimately just time sinks which dual spec removes so people can actually play the game.

I find myself surprised that people ask for classic servers, they get excited for classic servers, and then they want to change the classic servers LOL

I have lived in Oregon my whole life, and in Central Oregon for most of it. This is the same thing as people from other states moving to Central Oregon because they love the idea of Central Oregon, they love the excitement of moving there, and then after they move in they want to start changing the laws to be similar to where they are from.

Just…wow…

You realize it’s possible to like some aspects of something and not others?

Absolutely…but how is it fair to start trying to change things when it is well established what it is suppose to be like.

This server was pushed as a classic server, but everywhere you go people are wanting changes. Each one by itself is no big thing in a lot of cases, but you start changing any and you really can’t stop without people screaming it’s unfair.

How about we just be a TBC classic server and stop trying to change everything? You know what you are getting when you come here.

TBC Classic was explicitly advertised by blizzard as allowing QOL improvements. So yeah people are asking for QOL improvements like Dual spec, which blizzard has made it very clear they will do.

Sure, and lets start just adding every QoL improvement. That’ll make the server a lot better right?

Or lets just focus on the SMALL QoL improvements they have already made and enjoy it for what it was meant to be.

Dual spec is a small QoL improvement.

It has very low to virtually no impact on people who don’t use it but is awesome for those who do use it.

This is simplistic black white thinking. People generally don’t move to an area and like everything 100% about the area. I moved to southern Arizona and I’m happy there for many reasons. Warm winters, low humidity so not so many bugs as Florida, low population density, inexpensive land. But I don’t like the Arizona laws and the dominate political culture. People can move anywhere they want and attempt to make any changes they want after they move there. It’s called freedom, the thing right wingers pretend to love. Just as people can play classic and like the game but still try to change and improve the game in small ways. I have never played any video game that I thought was 100% perfect.

The difference is, how many people came to TBC Classic to enjoy it for what it was, and how is it fair to now start asking for dozens of “little” changes that seem to keep popping up all over the forums?

And if you aren’t going to change all of them, how do you decide fairly which ones you are going to change.

I am the first to admit I would like a few things changed, but I have a hard time asking for a change when I came to the server knowing what it was, and every change I ask for might be something another player came here to avoid, and I really don’t see it being fair to them to ask for that change.

Now? Blizzard announced before the pre-patch that they were making changes to TBC. They announced several changes and told us more would be coming. They even asked the players for feedback on the changes they would like to see. And as the game progressed they did in fact make more changes. Anyone who came here for nochanges TBC wasn’t paying attention.

Blizzard should look objectively at the arguments for and against a proposed change. Objectively, who does it benefit and who does it hurt and how many. Since the devs don’t have time to make every change even if they were all good, how popular is the proposed change, how many people want it. How will it affect the game. Since blizzard is a business and must make money how much dev time and money will the change cost. It really shouldn’t be that complicated of a decision for those who are working on the game and have intimate knowledge of the inner workings of it.

TBC Classic was explicitly marketed as having QoL changes. You decide based on what the community actually wants, most TBC players want dual spec.

You were in no way promised #nochanges like in vanilla classic.

It’s clear they’re already working on WOTLK Classic, so aside from Sunwell, I wouldn’t expect any major changes in the remaining eight months of TBC.

This is a nonsense statement. Blizzard decides, based on what they think is best for the player experience. You have no financial control over the company, none of us do. The company makes the decisions based on a lot of things we can’t see, like development schedules and workforce planning.

There’s no such dichotomy as “If we do that, we also have to do this” because … they don’t.

I love this statement.

Could you please link where 51% of TBC players want this added? I assume you have a reference since you are lumping most of the players together.

People asking for these kinds changes never wanted Classic servers. Ziryus was an outspoken Wall of No poster. Now they’re trying to take something they opposed and mutate it to appeal to their Retail ideals.
