Classic+ ideas

timeline - before arthas

  • add necromancer class; undead pets liche/banshee
  • add battlemage class - full body shield and glaves required/plate/arcane explosion taunt/no heals/no rez
  • fix druids and paladins
  • add druid tree form resto 60
  • add faery magic class, race dryad/keeper of the grove, only.
  • add playable high elves for alliance. start in blue trimmed silvermoon and no dead scar. do quest chain to become horde. differentiate with haircolors/hairstyles/idling poses.
  • add player housing and architect profession
  • add karazhan crypts, dragon isles and emerald dream
  • add barbershop
  • add limited transmogs, tier gear only

Classic “plus” ain’t happening. Ever.

Nice pipe dream though. Except the Necromancer thing. Y’all need to let that one die.

added a few new approaches:

  1. a race that can change factions- et. al,high elves
    –
  2. a class that only allows one race- et. al, faery magic dryads/keepers of the grove
    –
  3. a full body shield/glaive only class

  1. only tier gear can be mogged

add all the retail flight points.

but yeah all the classic+ nonsense can diaf

A lot of these are too pipe-dreamy, but they should rebalance classes, raids, dungeons, racials, gear, and the pvp system for the new classic servers.
Spiritual attunement, taunt, and crusader strike for pallies. Balance druid mana efficiency, shadow priest mana efficiency, increased debuff cap and rebalanced boss health to compensate, etc.
Just make stuff that already exists a bit different or better for a new meta. Might as well add barber and guild banks too.

why are people so irritable about classic+? the mere mention just sets some people off.

which ones?

I would be happy with some good, much-needed Vanilla class & talent/spec fixes & proper gear itemization to accommodate more than just certain specs. Updated graphics models & animations as an option would be cool also, as would some sort of transmog (but only for BoP gear, not BoE). Also tuning 60 dungeons to more of a heroic difficulty would be nice (with updated loot tables). Plus, fill out & add the missing content that was skipped over in favor of doing the TBC xpac instead during the initial run of the game. But, I seriously doubt any sort of “reimagining” update of Vanilla will ever happen.

agreed. if they use most of vanilla’s ruleset, world maps, and go back to pre-arthas, add a couple new classes and races, they could also add a 3rd playable faction: the legion. legion as a faction could have scarlet crusade, eredar, undead, fel orc. the horde would no longer have playable undead. but they could pick up high elves who quest to faction change.

It sets me off. The ‘trust’ between the fan base and blizzard was shattered… and then shattered again with the botched Classic era players all forced into TBC (by default)
You ‘tax’ anything that you DONT want to have. Aka the Classic Era players had a pay wall to go through to enjoy what they had spent hours and hours building over the past 24 months… People are pissed.

I post solutions that give an ethical response in 3 major consensus ideas. With out these things resolved you cannot ‘save face’ for how things happened since 2019 Classic Launch

I appreciate your thread and the clever suggestions you’ve made for a Classic + experience. I for one would like to have duel talent spec if there was a Classic + but tbh I really just don’t want anything to change. I don’t want a classic + For me I enjoy the wonky way my druid has to shift and utilize special talents to excel in PvP but can still do good Healing in MC. I want a build I can be out in the world and quest/grind mobs/farm (on my pvp server) and not be locked into my healer spec (as there is no viable dps druid spec as it were) Lazer chickens will see their day!? cough

All things considered I want a slow cadence “FOREVER” server that I can get geared… and then NEVER have to do it again! I want Fresh Start lvl 1 with a PROMISE they won’t break it again.

Technically there was not a pay wall there. You had a choice when pre-patch dropped. You could stay in classic for free, without the clone, or you could go to TBC (and clone to era if you chose to do so).

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t care for the way they executed the transition either but. Leaving my Horde characters on Classic era was free and my choice. Just had to click a couple times. I didn’t feel forced to go to TBCC.

Of course not.
The ones saying otherwise had a severe case of FOMO or are trying to make some sort of save now that they have buyer’s remorse over cloning.

The monetizing irked me a bit. We didn’t gain any character slots. Should have been separate lists for each game. It was done the cheapest way possible and the $15 to be on both was just a cash grab.

Classic was perfect in everyway. You are trying to change what the devs intended. They intended for palidans to suck and druids and shadow priests. They made the perfect decision in every area. Quit trying to change it.

i’d like a few quality of life changes, like barbershop, limited transmogs, player housing, guild banks and even dual spec. those would help and do minimal changes to vanilla game mechanics.

where i’d like big changes is timeline (pre arthas), new race options (high elves, dryads, keepers of the grove), 2 new classes (necro and battlemage), a new profession (architect), addition of a blue trimmed silvermoon in eversong, with quest chain at 60 if you want to faction change. and new raids/dungeons, like karazhan crypts, emerald dream and the dragon isles.

this would change the composition of vanilla horde, since they’d lose the forsaken. solution for that is to add a 3rd faction - the legion. where you could make a fel orc, manari eredar, undead or scarlet crusade. then add z trolls to horde perhaps or goblins?

Maybe if another company buys classic. Wouldn’t it be cool if the original creators bought it back.
