I think Cata and WoD classic would actually go over well if they are on a 1 year timeline. Maybe MoP as well since all 3 of those expansions only had 3 raid tiers.
WoD is a raid loggers paradise, which seems to be one of the prime target audiences of classic. It also has probably the best PvP gearing system.
I’d rather them both condensed into the expansion after them, and just give us double the phases for each expansion. I know that would definitely keep me playing after I got bored of Cata. They could maybe accelerate the Cata content a bit, seeing as there isn’t really an expansion’s worth of it anyway. That would make me happy and keep me subbed.
Yeah but I think they will lose alot of players just my opinion if they release Cata over the other expansions
I don’t think a vast majority of players would consider the world rework a classic experience when they can literally log onto retail and it’s the same and alot of players just don’t like it
You can experience about 99% of Outland and Northrend on retail as well since almost every single quest has been maintained, but that didn’t stop TBC and Wrath classic from coming out.
It’s the reason why I am many others left and didn’t return until Legion.
World revamp destroyed all our favorite old zones, dungeons, and places (In retail we seriously need Zidormi or another bronze dragon to revert the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor to pre-cata).
Vashjir was horrible, Hyjal was on fire, Deepholme was meh, Twilight Highlands was ok for the most part, Uldum was the best imo.
MoP lover here, but I can’t hate on Cata either. It was a solid expansion that just had a final tier that went on for waaaaay too long. From my end I feel cata even edges out tbc, after my experience of the past 16 months. I’ll gladly play Cata to get to MoP.
The only way I could see WoD Classic happening and being successful is if the devs added cut content to it such as the Shattrath Raid, the story, and moving our garrisons into other zones, in turn said resource developments could be added to retail as well at the same time (because why not).
Monk/BlackBelt/Fighter is a classic fantasy class though. Just not the kong fu panda part…
Unfortunately a good chunk of MOP was cut off, that being Wrathion’s Cloak quest which was a major part of MOP.
