With new pvp seasons the old gear becomes cheaper and doesn’t require arena, can we make old raids gear the same? like 2 phases back and/or even further for classic raid gear? transmog is just around the corner, it would be great way to keep alts up to par. Make it like 50 badges and get a random item of a chosen slot/gear (cloth, mail, plate) according to your spec or 200+ for a specific item. I know at a certain point your main only needs the current raid gear for upgrades. What do a lot of people do including myself? raid log main and/or level alts, leveling alts can only go so far because raids happen a lot, but they don’t always happen when you can do them. You might get more players online daily/throughout if you give them a reason to keep doing heroics after they got their pre-raid. (I know more badge items will come out around Zul-Aman)
Transmog was added in the final patch of Cataclysm, I’d hardly call that, “just around the corner”. Also… why not just do the raid?
More badge gear - quite good in fact - is coming in P4 as well. They also added Primal Nethers for badges, so that’s a good reason to keep doing them.
ah i thought transmog was wrath, I’ve heard people talk about it in classic like it was soon or something, as for raids you can only do the raid 1x per week. Let’s see you can have 10 characters so 9 alts, 9 alt needing gruul/mag and kara that’s 27 hours of raiding per week that require 10-25 people OR I can get 4 others grind some heroics and get badges. As for Nethers, they are only good to craft an item, if I needed an item I’ll go to a guild member and run them threw a heroic myself with nether on reserved
If you have 10 characters, that’s an absurd amount of raiding to be doing, even quick ones like Gruul/Mag. Not to mention the amount of heroics you’d have to do for the badges.
If you’re running that many characters I don’t think Blizzard should be creating systems for you.
Lol what… ?
that’s the point, when your main gets to only needing raid gear, raid log, when your alt only needs raid gear and no raids are going on, another alt and so on and so forth BUT if they make badges useful you can progress your alts without NEEDING raids, ofc it’s not going to be BiS gear but it’ll make your alt not a bucket of trash when/if you rotate them in for alt runs
How many alts do you need? Do you need to play WoW and only WoW?
The badge gear is already good as is for an alt, and plenty of raids get run on the healthier servers. You can also save badges for the new ones coming P4, plus in P4 we get ZA - which is a catchup.
More badge gear is coming before sunwell when ZA launches.
Classic isn’t about creating new systems, just recreating the way the game worked as close as possible/within reason.
If they add some T4 T5 items to badge vendor. That would make raiding old content and H dungeons relevant.
Just price them properly then it can offer an alternative gearing option.
The fastest way is progressing the current raid
The fast way is doing old raids
The slow way is farm badges
Old raids/heroics are still relevant. Nethers were added to the badge vendor, and old raids still drop valuable pieces of loot - DST in particular - and the tier tokens being exchangeable for Gladiator gear gave reasons to go back and do them. T5 content is absolutely still relevant and guilds will likely continue to run them for much of T6.
We don’t have to full clear every raid.
I mean H dungeons would be run more. Old raids are always relevant
I see people run heroics often. Especially tanks reserving the nether, or reserving unwanted blues. Plus alts for gearing. Plus we had people farming badges for resist sets. Plus we’ll have more people farming badges for P4 items.
We don’t have to do heroics every day from launch until the final day of TBCC.
If you don’t want to actually do the raids, then why are you playing?
The people talking about transmog in classic were the ones that wanted that and barber shops in tbc. I’m sure once we get dual spec when ever that maybe the 10 topics a day topic will be transmog.
