⭐ Classic is Definitely not Vanilla

Yet Nostalrius became hugely popular and is one the major reasons we’re getting Classic today. What do you have against a level of difficulty that is proven to be very well received by players, as it doesn’t alter the “vanilla experience”?

Yep, the tin foil is strong with this one.

Nobody with any common sense signed a petition hoping for a Blizzard-run Nostalrius clone.

You are naiv my friend. The answer to why I do not believe in that statement can be found in my initial post in this thread.

Naive? HAH! If only that were so, dude. Believe me, I’m as far from naive as you can possibly get without being your levels of crazy.

Well many of those players thought that Nost was Blizzlike. Some of these players have since made a point to say that the difficulty in the Beta is too easy.

And they were wrong.

Is it J Allan Brack hiding behind “Laeric”? :rofl:

Nope. I’m too poor.

Ah, so the impressions of thousands of people doesn’t matter. You are the ultimate decider of what’s good or bad. Got it.

I take it that I should take that “nope” as a fact as well? :wink:

No. They were wrong because they were wrong. Facts don’t care about your feelings.

“Best guesstimate” =/= “Blizzlike.”

I suppose we have already forgotten that Vanilla would be impossible because of point 3 in the Wall of No:

3. Blizzard does not possess the old code. No, they did not save it as a "backup"

If they can lie once, they can lie again. This was never explained on how it would be IMPOSSIBLE to recreate Vanilla, and then magically, it was.

If you’d bothered to pay attention during the panel, it was made pretty clear that they got lucky even finding 1.12.

This thread and ones like it remind me of something…

Sadly Pago you might be onto something.

I guess we should take that statement “that they were lucky” as a fact aswell? Give it a rest friend.

Because it is wholly made up. I didn’t sign and ask for a made up version of Vanilla when we were coming out of the Nost mess, I wanted the clear cut real thing. If I was happy with a Private Server version of Vanilla I would have just stuck with Private Servers.

The entire point was to get a Blizzard product where we no longer had to worry about it being shut down and it was the real thing. No more made up values, no more guessing, no more arguing about if things were possible because it was a private server.

We would be getting the real numbers, the actual Vanilla as it existed ( or at least as that patch existed ). If it’s easier than we thought I’m fine with that because it’s the right values, it doesn’t have bugs that made talents and specs stronger than they actually were, and I didn’t log in and hit the same cave every morning because it always gave me 4-5 blues the first clear through.

When all indications point to it being fact? Yeah, we should. Give me evidence to back up your claims, not your feelings.

I have just as much evidence as you Laeric, hence why our discussion in this specific matter is pointless. I’m out :slight_smile:
