Classic Era is getting progressively worse

A lot has changed since the end of WoW Classic last year. What used to be a fully functioning and complete game with no major unintended issues by the end of WoW Classic is now, under the guise of Classic Era, the landfill of every God forsaken bug imaginable and unimaginable and it simply gets worse with every new patch meant for the other WoW versions.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen a game that was completely developed degrade, not by new content or expansions, but by gradually adding and accumulating bugs.

When have you seen this before?

Do you have one single example ? Cause I enjoy era a lot and you sound like nonsense to me

Having played Era before/during/after TBCC dropped, my opinion is that the big culprit is the move to 1.14 bringing Era to the same backend infrastructure as SL/retail.

It might help if you actually read the posts you’re replying to.

I can assure I did but did you ?

I’m asking examples about that. All I get is more nonsense

I can’t speak to what exactly the OP is talking about but graphical bugs (no tabard showing, no belts showing, shaman weapon imbues not displaying, etc) and things like world bosses not spawning or DMF not appearing when scheduled might be what they are talking about. My guess was that somehow things were thrown off with the “upgrade” to 1.14 but I really don’t know.

There were a bunch of things listed here as well.

Scrolling back through that post I find the OP posted there as well so this may be their beef.

SoM features never intended for Classic Era are bleeding into it because it was forced into the same client as Season of Mastery. This client shift also devastated the addons being used by the Classic Era community. The thread compiling a consolidated list of these bugs was closed by the moderator because they didn’t want multiple bugs getting reported in one, convenient location. Buggy ubrs fire buff, pvp ranking calculations, world boss spawns (or better put lack thereof) are few examples

I think pvp calcs may be working now…I was ready to go guns blazing on it in a thread, but miraculously I noticed my guys are calculating nightly now…

You read the title.

What Asma and Despitebeing mention are some of the examples I’m referring to. So, yes, many examples. Some classes and players are more affected than others.

At least they read that.

True.

I find what other people type to be overrated.

The question of whether you’ve ever seen feature degradation introduced to abandoned branches that automatically inherit upstream changes is easily answered as: yes, it’s not uncommon in software development unfortunately.

The most common examples are generally in infrastructure areas where there is at least control and the ability to rollback. For scenarios where there’s little to no recourse, take a look at Google Cloud and how they change/deprecate APIs on a whim.

Maybe you’re projecting. Actually I read it twice.

But probably you can’t answer with real arguments.

I’m still waiting for an answer that makes sense.

Ok for you.

“A lot has changed”. What changed ? What changed a lot ? Answer needed.
" is now, under the guise of Classic Era, the landfill of every God forsaken bug imaginable and unimaginable" What bug ??
" it simply gets worse with every new patch meant for the other WoW versions." worse how ??
Answer that and then we can speak. Or troll and make my day Glinda.

If you believe someone is a troll, why feed them?

Scroll up as the author has confirmed that Despitebeing and I have both given examples of what they’re referring to.

Right didn’t see your answers.

Concerning Glinda, what she said was total nonsense so of course I like to answer to people like that.
