Day Two: #NoSharding

Honestly, all of the streamers are not helping. These plebs are listening to them and unfortunately they will listen to them.

If you don't want to play with sharding here is what you do.

Wait 1 month after classic release, then start playing.

You won't see sharding then.


Yes we will.

You trusting Blizzard is hilarious.,

Post on your main.

No sharding in Classic, not at launch, not ever. This is a unique opportunity to experience another Classic launch, I don't want it sanitized with modern tools.

No loot sharing either

so your only argument is your assumption that they will not deliver. you are grasping at straws. please do not play this game and go congregate with the tryhards and lowlifes on private servers
No sharding...classic is about the community and sharding will kill classic and what made it great
The game out side of starting zones wont be sharded because 1 they already stated this and 2 you can't have multiple copies of world bosses and world events up at once. They already said 1 world, 1 boss, 1 kill.

Relax this is just for a few day or first week until maintenance of launch for 1 zone for each factions.

Except they've done gone back on their sharding promises before with RP servers:

Please do not play this game and go congregate with the lazy and spoiled brats on retail.
The Shard system was absolutely detrimental to the way servers were run. It doesn't feel like a community at all anymore. I will be severely disappointed if this is included in Classic, it will spoil the whole point of it.

Look at that, you can read. they changed their mind. so what? I don't believe they're going to be that inconsistent. that is a lesser issue. to go back on their word for sharding is a much bigger issue. you are grasping at straws.

I will be making a post everyday to remind the Classic Development team that the VAST majority of the community does not want sharding. Even at the beginning of launch.

I have played on many launches that consist of 4-10k players. It is messy. I do not care.

Enable queues.

Let the servers crash.

We will get through it, promise. I saw a basement server do it.

Keep Sharding out. None.

Keep the devil out.

(All of the information that was released at the Classic Panel and the QnA I am overly satisfied with and I am happy with the progress they have shown us. Thank you Blizzard)

Day Two, Will keep this going.

Do not let these threads die if you care about it.

Didn’t they already explain this?
(Sorry)

As you've noticed, the Classic Demo does have realm sharding. This is to let as many people as possible experience it without technical issues such as server capacity or spawn density getting in the way.

Longer term, we know how crucial it is to the Classic experience for you to see your friends when you walk into Stormwind or when you’re helping them on a quest you’ve already completed. And there should only ever be one Kazzak on a realm, no matter how many people are waiting for him to spawn.

We’re still looking at how we can best deliver an authentic Classic experience at launch, and in the weeks and months that follow - both in terms of gameplay and community. You won’t see phasing (which is tied to specific quests that don't exist in Classic) or cross-realm zones (which combine multiple realms together) in Classic. However, realm sharding is one of the best tools we have to keep realms stable when hundreds of players are swarming the same initial few zones and killing the same few mobs (like they will be at the launch of Classic). To that end, we do believe that some form of sharding may be helpful, especially in those early days. But we recognize that a cohesive world is critical to WoW Classic and are committed to bringing that to you.

What’s wrong with Loot Sharing?

Wait, are you a ninja looter?
(That’s the only foreseeable downfall here)

No, you can use friends for much higher chance at loot...

Nothing wrong with that.

People want other people to get guilds and friends, might as well use them.

Then why would you trust them if they said no sharding at all? Why should we trust they are even releasing classic at all? The reasonable people are not gonna sit arround finding reasons to be mad. Sorry, you can do it if you like but I’m happily waiting for classic. All of you on here crying your not gonna play will be the first ones dropping 60 for a classic collectors edition box. Your even less consistent then you claim blizz is. We will play classic at any cost! 15 is too much. We just want to old talent trees and no lfr flying or dungeon finder. Oh wait did we say that we dont want this new list of !@#$ in classic either. You keep moving the goal posts and will never be happy.

I can't tell if trolling or not.

Loot sharing won't reduce ninjaing loot, it will just make it harder to detect.

Loot sharing wasn't in vanilla and will effect 5 man dungeons the most, which is a big part of the vanilla experience. In fact I'd rather have sharded starting areas than loot sharing.

Then when you screw people over you will get a bad rep. Just like if you did the same with free for all loot or master looter. This doesn’t create any new problems. Let the community police the dirt bags like has been touted in this forum for a year at least. I’m actuality if some ninja looter wanted to roll on an item for someone else he can say oops sorry my bad and keep it. When he doesn’t give it up he is gonna be labeled a ninja looter. Your making any thing up you can to be salty at blizz
I can see why they want sharding at the start, no I don't agree with it, yes I'm a hypocrit because I see dynamic respawns as the lesser of two evils despite neither being in vanilla.

If pro-sharders are worried about not being able to level because of lack of mobs, you can always try exploration routes, huge amount of fun. I went from UD starting zone to EPL and Light's Hope Chapel in about 40mins and gained nearly five levels.

Or you can do Elwynn, Redridge, Duskwood, Westfall for the same xp :)
