Anyone else upset that they are removing skeletons from the game?

but but THIN OF THE CHILDREN!

The scary thing is there’s others out there that it truly effects.

Of course there is. The coddling, which seems to be the solution to every problem concerning them, is exactly what causes it.

Player Bones are Possible in Classic

Well, if its not an issue with technical limitations, they could have area bubbles that encompass entire starting zones and cities that do not allow bone pile up. They could store the account name to the bones for accountability vs gold sellers, and have a notice go to a GM which they have just a few of just in case. This notification would go off when a certain number of skeletons of players are accumulated in one small area (when the player leaves the corpse it checks its surroundings to che…

(You should read the “Mental Health” thread… F’in weird really.)

So we have to err on the side of “if it saves but one life”

If said live needs « saving » from words was it worth saving?

deep breathe and flex that pc. flimsy no more

Did you really think blizzard would care about #nochanges? They cant make a game straight without making people mad by changing something unpopular down the line.

[Zandalarwrlk-illidan]

Normally with the outrage surrounding this game I just smh and facepalm at the stupidity of what they’re mad about, but this one I kinda agree with. The change was made because of gold sellers and people who write out slurs? Gold sellers can still spell out their site by using multiple characters, and same with people who just wanna be dicks. This change is pretty pointless.

I’ve seen better suggestions about having the skeletons have random orientations or placed somewhere within 5 yards, and while I don’t think that quite solves the problem, it’s better than what they’re trying here.

[Phinderbangs-kiljaeden]

why waste the words with everything before however. sounds like a written way to say you are afraid to get punched in the face

like saying, I love you however i fooked ur sister

Easy fix for skeletons

Just add a checkbox in options to disable them. People that get easily offended or annoyed at messages that could be on the ground click the box and it limits corpses like they currently have it. Unchecked it’s just like vanilla. Everyone is happy.

This solution is my favorite so far. They have chat filters…

Some real skulduggery by Blizzard on this.

[Organuzgeula-emerald-dream]

I don’t blame Blizzard, at least not the Devs. Something this half baked must have come from higher up the chain.

All we can do is continue the pressure from the community so that the the memorable vanilla feature is preserved. There are solutions.

Xi Jinping??

[Organuzgeula-emerald-dream]

I was just considering that while writing my last response, but I realized that wouldn’t make sense because each character still leaves 1 skeleton with the change they made. If the reason was China, they would have taken them away completely.

I think this is from PC hyper sensitivity in the upper corporate echelons. The sad thing is, solutions exist that can satisfy both concerns.

you already won’t see them all because of layering

[Lems-cenarius]

Best solution I saw on a different post was to have your corpse rotate in a random direction upon death. Seems like it would work in my feeble mind

[Williams-akama (Williams)]

You have many tools to deal with the Susans of the classic world, please don’t ruin the experience for the Tom, Dick and Harry’s of the world with this “fix”.

BINGO, straight up BAN them and REQUIRE people pay for a subscription to play Classic WoW.

No way around the pay wall means no free to play tourists that can potentially abuse the BONES!

PROBLEM = SOLVED!

There was literally very little buzz about this in the previous months which made me think I was the only one that really cared. I really want to see those precious mounds of bones.

But if you’re on the layer where wpvp is happening you will, which is where it matters. Also, layering will be removed by phase 2 (according to Blizzard).

That could work also, but the problem I see is that people will just make the signs/text larger.

A toggling solution for Bones Visable: true/false sounds pretty reasonable.

Preventing trial accounts from playing classic is a definite must in this regards.

If Actiblizz stopped making changes we wouldn’t be complaining, but they can’t help themselves. They want to give up retail patch 1.12 rather than re-release Vanilla as it was.
