Best Features of Classic

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I’m late to these forums, but I did some reading on some older threads to try to catch up. Many of my questions were answered, but there is sometimes conflicting information. I’d like to offer my opinion about some things that I hope to see protected in WoW Classic to keep players around. I think these things are decidedly in, but if not, then please let me know. The best way to ruin the game is by changing it to make it easier for those who complain for their instant gratification.

Please allow Classic to remain mostly unchanged (aside from some expected but hopefully minimal class balancing tweaks) once things are implemented.

  1. Character Graphics - I’d like the option to have the updated graphics. I don’t know how the majority of people feel about this, but I will support the majority either way. I get the nostalgia of the older graphics since this is Classic, but I hope this visual option is added. It’s just easier on the eyes. If it’s not added, then it’s not a big deal and isn’t something to be upset about.

  2. Alterac Valley - Reinforcement points should never be added. I miss the battles that had the potential to last several hours and possibly even require the summoning of a giant. I read that there will be no reinforcement points in Classic, which is definitely a good thing, but if I am wrong then please tell me. Adding them would ruin the experience that most of us were hoping for in Classic.

  3. Dual Spec - I believe this is something that should never be added to Classic. A diverse character population is important and “subclasses” added quality to the game before the dual spec option was added.

  4. Original Talent Trees - I would hope to see this maintained as it originally was, mainly for the same reasons as I oppose the dual spec option. The less likely we are to have “cookie cutter” characters, the better.

  5. PvP Ranking System - I used to love this. It made PvP more competitive and challenging, and it required time and effort to earn ranks. I hope this is never changed. I may never get to Rank 14, but I like the idea of having those PvP rewards being difficult to earn rather than easy to buy. Rewarding dedication and skill was an essential part of WoW battlegrounds.

Thank you for reading. I’d like to see if people agree or disagree with my points-of-view on these things, and to know if they will be kept and protected for the long-term as a part of Classic.

  1. I’d be opposed to the new character models, and I think most people would be too. It’s not vital importance to me, but I don’t see why they would ever add them to the game.

  2. Reinforcements are not in classic AV, as that was a late BC thing.

  3. Dual spec isn’t in Classic either, and will permanently stay out of it.

  4. I don’t know why they’d switch talent trees around, unless they went with a 1.13 Classic+ thing, like so,e people are theorizing.

  5. The PvP honor system definitely belongs to Classic, and I’d never ask them to change it. However, my personal opinion is that it’s absolutely atrocious system. It doesn’t reward skill, it rewards having ludicrous amounts of time mixed with luck and win trading at the max level.

I also hate dishonorable kills.
