Oh im down for epic AV. I’d be down for 1.1-1.12 patch progression too. Oh and no dhk’s. Just get rid of those.
Pointing out that these discussions took place long ago and we’ve known for awhile that we were getting 1.12 AV=poor attitude for a consumer? Lol. What?
I’m more worried about the whales ruining it with their gold buying. Which could push blizz into tokens. No that’s not supporting tokens either. That is a genuine concern of mine.
The whales have ruined gaming and we now have mtx>engaging gameplay because of people buying gold back in the day.
How’s that for a bad attitude for a consumer?
It’s being released in the 1.12 form, at the 1.5 Patch equivalent. So is ZG, AQ and BWL etc. None of the systems will be upgraded from a lower revision. Not MC, not ZG, not AQ, not AV.
It was a design decision to ensure a consistent patch level so that balancing is all at the same point.
Actually, if the pre-1.12 knowledge gap was about what was stored on client, you could pull out an old install CD set and just pull that data. There’s no shortage of people on these forums who kept theirs and would happily lend them.
TBH though, they said they were going full 1.12 with no further changes beyond what’s mandatory to make it function on modern systems, with modern architectures. That means 1.12 AV, and anyone moaning about it is barking up exactly the same tree as anyone still asking for transmog carryover.
Yeah, we’ve had a huge thread on this since the announcement months ago.
It’s funny seeing peoples actual reaction to how bad 1.12 AV is when they see it in person with their own eyes, though.
For the sake of overall authenticity, i think we need a happy medium version. But, the majority of people here don’t seem to care much for the overall experience.
Point of note: 1.12 AV is actually 1.11 AV. From v1.5-1.7 AV actually received improvements and buffs. When MoHs were implemented in 1.8, suddenly they scrambled to begin dismantling AV so that it would take less and less time to play. From v1.8-1.11, the original PVPVE game was obliterated.
Yeah its easy to say but 1.12 is only representitive of 1.12 and is not a very good representation of what Vanilla was for the majority of its life cycle.
Selecting 1.12 classes; I get it.
Selecting 1.12 PvP and PvP was a huge mistake.
Earlier WoW was superior to 1.12 in a lot of ways, and unfortunately gives a very watered down experience. Essentially its Vanilla on ultra easy mode.
