Although i doubt blizzard will do classic plus, cause releasing xpacs that are ready to go is definitely the cheaper route, but if blizzard decided to do plus there’s definitely a few things I’d love to see added
Races from retail implemented now, Worgen and goblin would be a great addition to classic, both factions still retain their own class, alliance paladin, horde shaman, then maybe high elf and orgre, pretty sure orgre was planned at one point right?
Player housing, guild halls, doesnt need to be complicated like they had originally planned it to be, having huge sections of capitals dedicated to player housing, just add a single house somewhere in each capital, and make it instanced, same with guild halls, would be neat to physically see the heads of bosses your guild has cleared
Zones entirely dedicated to 5 man groups, and make it optional, you could go to this other zone and solo if you cant find anyone, but if you got a 5 man ready to go, you could run this zone, basically just slap the dungeon formula onto a zone, although there are zones kind of like this, a more emphasized version would be cool
Achievements would be easy to implement, not much more i can say besides id welcome them in classic
Idk just a few ideas i had bouncing around my head, I definitely prefer the core gameplay of classic compared to retail, much slower pace, time consuming, and more focus on group content while leveling, but i think classic could be much greater than it currently is
Dont get me wrong, i enjoyed tbc and wotlk, but id rather go down a new road now after experiencing vanilla again, although its great, i see potential for something new and better, provided that it keeps the core of vanilla in mind
This is the only idea i would like to see implemented across the board. It could sever as another gold sink to the game and as a status symbol(s) for players and guilds.
I’d like to see allied races in Classic that offer unique race and class compositions in addition to new racials that help to balance some of the overwhelming “meta” options and provide more variety. Grimtotem tauren rogues, Blackrock orc mages, etc. And a way to boost weapon skills past their cap without niche, heavily sought-after BoE’s, perhaps with a consumable or enchantment to your gear.
For me I would like it if they keep the gear in game, and prevent any upgrades from naxx onwards and:
-Open up new world zones from new expansions
-Maybe old or new instances /campaigns/BG’s
-Maybe allow a pvp instance in scholomance where horde and alliance can choose to kill the bosses, or kill each other or both as an inspiration to WC III maps
-Create a huge world pvp zone somewhere where there is 24/7 battle. Insenctivize players who world pvps like add black lotus or rare items that drop randomly off nodes or mobs in the large scale pvp zone.
Or add more insenctives for open world pvp
-Update graphics
-Enable cross realm so people can actually play together without worrying about damned restrictions
they will never release classic plus because that would mess up continuity. if they added stuff to classic that would change everyone’s perception of retail, like “are they going to cut retail in the future if they start developing classic?” and “how does this new classic content translate over into retail? do they just add the same thing but with retail rules on retail servers?”
