Why aren’t they releasing solo queue or solo shuffle? Is this the spirit of communication you emphasize? It’s really stupid for official Blizzard not to do private servers as well. That means you are not doing as much work as them, you are not as capable, and you are losing users to them.
People are tired of communication. We are already communicating privately with the guild. The biggest obstacle to Arena is getting two players other than yourself. It’s a really laborious process and a meaningless waste of time. We will feel great joy just by saving ourselves from going through that tedious time.
Look at the meta of games these days. No communication in recruiting. Do Overwatch and LOL advertise to attract team members? no. Solo queue with one click. Please make the process of entering the arena easier.
If you are already making small yes-changes, I absolutely do not believe that adding the aforementioned things will damage the spirit of the classic. Because you’re not going to develop WoW retail and Classic anyway. (Actually, developing a classic itself doesn’t make sense.) What kind of development staff do you need if you’re just taking out dusty antiques from the warehouse, wiping off the dust, and putting them on display? Even if it is necessary, it is only the tip of the iceberg compared to developing retail.
I don’t want to go to a private server. Again, please bring retail server functionality to Cataclysm Classic. It’s even on private servers.
I don’t personally mind solo-queue. But they would probably have to axe a bracket to institute solo-queue, otherwise the queues would be too diluted between 2s, 3s, 5s, RBGs, and regular BG’s.
The reason it ‘works’ on Private Servers is because on Private Servers, people ONLY queue 2v2, or solo queue. on official WoW people actually want to do 5s, and 3s, and RBG’s.
And obviously the reason it works on retail is there’s no 5s.
They should and also All BGs should be Solo Que. This would cause PvP to flourish. The BG community been waiting for Solo Que for ages to get organic PvP.
Theres a lot of people that hate the current state of the soy boy WoW… Cataclysm still has some raw lore feel to it.
WoW really is that kid that grew up as a outcast, that turned into a goth kid, that became accepted by friends, and ended up working for Disney as a cartoon character.
I remember quitting in OG Cata because of no solo que in arena. My friends all quit Raiding/playing the game in Wrath. I decided to give arena try. I realized if I don’t know the player personally in real life, they can really suck to play with. Trying to learn arena with several people just made me say F this. I don’t remember there being any solo option learn the game back then, Solo que would have made me stick around.
Thankfully MOBA’s gave me the PVP fix I was looking for.
Murdered Arena, tho it was not the only knife holder, Weak auras, a plethora of req addons and very questionable conditional macro in addition to scripters, botters and literal hackers being let run rampant for near a decade by blizzard are also to blame.
Arena is dead; its the greatest game mode ever that you can’t play, but its never coming back because the barrier to entry for new players is impossible due to addons / WA, scriptors, hackers and a community who’s become near 99% dependent on them and the refusal to admit that and let go of it are preventing it from ever being popular and successful ever again.
that has failed terribly lol soloq in classic cata will be a million times better than retail soloq. look at the retail soloq ladder and compare to whitemane pserver soloq ladder. whitemane had more players LMAO
All relevant and popular games have solo que. So people are practicing all the time, and looking for partners. Not looking for two people all day long.
Everyone says c9 is the last season of сata. R1 players are the only ones who play each other all the time. Retail has proven what people really need. Everyone wants a solo q
