While I can empathize with wanting to level up before the gates open, and I think it could be fun to gear up your Draenei and Belf races with MC gear and whatnot, I think part of what was interesting about TBC was that choice to go back to level 1.
It may not seem like it, but that kept the old world alive, while also encouraging guilds to help their friends level up. I know personally our guild has a few people ready to roll shaman and we are going to power level them to get ready for Kara, and thatâs kind of part of the challenge. But Iâm open to whatever either way. All I want from TBC Classic is UNNERFED dungeons and raids please please please Blizz!!!
This is dumb, youâre still playing TBC because this is how TBC was, you still get access to TBC talents and XP for levels was reduced like 20% or something for 1-60. Donât wanna level 1-60 in TBC? Level to 60 in classic. Plus the new races have 2 starter zones each, so youâd actually be missing content if you did this, lol.
I donât think most people want to lose the characters theyâve worked so hard to build. This would be particularly bad for anyone with a legendary item still useful in TBC. This may not personally affect you, but you would care if you were one of those people.
New races starting at level 1 is NOT a problem. It actually helps to revive the deserted low level brackets, which are typically empty after 6 months. The flood of goats/elves will directly bring life back to low levels again, at least for a while. This is probably why Blizzard didnât give them a free boost in the first place.
Blizzard didnât boost until wrath because they thought it would be silly for DEATH KNIGHTS, former elite servants of the LICH KING, to now be level 1 outside stormwind killing kobolds. You didnât start with any professions⌠but that was more justifiable.
That will happen regardless of when the new races get released. This issue isnât the new races getting released at level 1, but the timing of when that happens. Release the new races early and youâre likely to see a bigger revival of low level content because people wonât be rushing into Outland at the same time.
Youâre not seeing the other side of this. Hellfire will be heavily overcrowded when it first opens. We donât need goats/elves on top of it. Them having to start at L1 reduces the giant strain on hellfire for a while and gives the rest of us time to move beyond it before they flood into it. If we allow them to all powerlevel to 60 before it opens, then the ENTIRE population will be in hellfire, all at once, when the portal opens. We donât need to make what will already be massive overcrowding even worse.
Why not just give everyone an option to have a level 60 belf, Alliance shaman, and a horde paladin? Why force them to level up? There are boosted characters in retail and itâs the best thing about the game!!! Blizzard can charge people for them. The more pay to win in the game the better the game becomes. Paying to win with multiboxing isnât enough since too many people donât find it fun. Wow tokens and boosted characters are retail pay to win strategies that the classic player base will embrace.
Anytime someone decides to reroll you can say they are putting themselves at a disadvantage. Itâs part of playing an MMO, having new things added or old things taken away that change your preferred character to play. And when that happens, you reroll when they are released. You donât need special treatment because you changed your mind.
This happens with hardcore guilds/groups in every MMO. Why should Classic be any different?
Everyone can play their preferred race and class from the get-go if your suggestion isnât implemented. They just wonât be at max level the day the new expansion is released.
I just donât see the need to change the way of introducing a new class/race just for Classic. If you want to change to a new race/class you can do so once itâs released, same as always.
This happened when they released TBC the first time? They should handle it as they did back then⌠Players who wish to level the new races or classes will have to level from the startâŚMOP had this same issue⌠Monks started at level 1. Why could we not start at last expansions max level? This is how it was designed and people can live with it. The players who decide to level the new races and classes for the factions will be in much higher demand off the start and this will drive them.
We are not near the end of classic nor have they said anything other than a question about TBC classic lol⌠Worry more after they actually confirm one existing.
Continue on existing or new server. I have zero interest in starting a new character at 58 and feel like I completely wasted my time leveling up my existing characters. Iâd likely quit on the spot if that was the only option provided.
Itâs supposed to be #NoChanges. That means doing like TBC and keeping the existing characters progressing further.
My preference is for our current servers, with the exception of a few left for those who want to stay in Classic, to progress to TBC in the same way as the original. I have no objection to completely broken things that Blizzard fixed back then to be fixed from the start, but otherwise I would prefer no changes.
It wasnât scrapped, it was postponed and put into TBC and other later xpacs. Thereâs nothing new to see from a hypothetical classic+; it would end up being content already seen in later xpacs but scaled for classic.
