Bring these world buff changes to era

World Buffs

• Players who have completed the appropriate quests related to looting the Head of Onyxia, Heart of Hakkar, or the quests involving killing Rend Blackhand will now be able to hand in a repeatable quest once a month to re-trigger these world buff effects. These new quests grant no rewards and confer no other benefits other than triggering the world buff event on your realm.
• There is now a 10-second cooldown on obtaining a new Darkmoon Faire buff from Sayge in Season of Discovery (was a 4 hour cooldown).

Bring this to era. Eventually people will run out of world buff drops if not. Also just bring Might of Stormwind to era.

Hold up now. There some Era people who gonna be furious if you improve their game.

[Tinkertrain-lone-wolf]

It will be funny to see the mental gymnastics folks come up with as to why its bad for the game to trigger the buffs more than once per char for sure.

[Shá-chaos-bolt]

I just don’t trust Blizz to implement any changes without breaking 5 other things.

Its going to bleed over anyway, and then have to be “fixed” so they may as well just let it happen. If you’re against this I hope you have to do obscene things to obtain buffs in the future once they dry up. Which will for sure happen. Cause guess what. The game doesnt take in new players. Only loses players.

Yeah? When are they gonna “dry up”? Era is on year 5 now what signs point to world buffs “drying up”

[Deathsbounty-area-52]

BECAUSE ITS NOT HOW THE GAME WAS!

As they play in an RMT fest with mages pulling 300 mobs, significantly more advanced add-ons, changes all over the place, bots everywhere, etc etc

[Tubbly-terenas (Tubbly)]

I would actually be ok with this. Era’s population is generally finite and there’s only so many alts people will play. This will especially help out small communities on otherwise dead servers. Once a month is a fairly reasonable limit.

I think keeping changes minimal is important to preserve the spirit of the game, but we should be able to consider these changes individually and evalulate their merits. This is one that is not going to damage the integrity of what we love about Classic Era.

[Duckling-anathema]

Repeatable world buffs has been an ask for era long before seasonal.

Also no on the Might of Stormwind tag-on there.

That being said, people enjoy levelling and there is still a backlog of buffs to drop, the PvE cluster schedules them and the PvP cluster around buff time has multiple people trying to sell them. ‘Dry up’ is a hard sell for anyone playing right now.

I don’t think anybody is furious that Retail exists.

Literally everything is improved and fixed.

Maybe just play SoD if you want that kinda stuff.

They nerfed it im told. SoD leaked in.

I’ve never seen so many people obsessed with changing a 20 year old game lmao. Just let it be. Its an MMO time capsule.

They’re not really Era players, they are locusts swarmer’s who have era characters. You know the type; raid loggers. If they had all they wanted they wouldn’t even play anymore because it would turn into Retail by a ten thousand cuts.

It’s always silly seeing players find this bugged experience acceptable instead of advocating for the obvious solution.

Additional levelers reach 60 daily, some of them are new players and some of them are people’s alts. That’s not going anywhere. So long as there is any activity in the game at all, some percentage of that activity will be levelers reaching 60. The game is not played only by parsers or even only by raiders.

Furthermore, I personally would really enjoy a “no worldbuff server” anyway, if that type of thing ever became an option. It’d be more fun to just show up to raids with your gear an consumes, as worldbuffs aren’t actually necessary to clear the content. And in the meantime, I’ve never had any problem getting full worldbuffs on the Mankrik cluster so I don’t see it as an issue regardless.

Yet another change that’ll make Era more like Retail becoming more ‘convenient’ for the lazy.

Its not coming to Era so I guess we can all avoid the flame war that you would lose in less than two posts.

The obvious solution is eventually buffs dry up because people get sick of leveling an alt just for a world buff drop. Then we have no buffs aside from Tribute.

You’d go down like a drunk prom date son.

So you dont mind running out of buff drops eventually? Thats what I thought…

My era warrior is more geared than 90% of the warriors on era, and I earned all of that prior to TBCC coming out. I didnt need an additional 3 years of farming to get mine. Now I just log in and gdkp with friends for fun. You’re lucky thats all I do at this point.

@Venjay-frostmane

My final point is to all of you. Era has 16k active raiders WORLD WIDE. A LOT of them are people raiding across more than one char. Which means its probably closer to 10k-12k actual players. IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Only 9k of them are on American servers that you can even play with, and again a large chunk of them are alts.

Every version of the game has significantly more players than Era The game is legit hemorrhaging players, and no new ones are replacing them. But keep on doing you boo.

Check ironforgepro if you think I’m lying.

If the level lovers and buff sellers dry up, the GDKP crew can just boost a toon in around a day anyway. But uh, those of us who love the leveling experience only have era to play, every other game mode available does not offer a complete leveling experience. So we’ll be here.

Also trying to reply to you in entirety is real hard when you keep editing, organise your thoughts
