Dear Kaivax: Release Blood Elf / Draenei at the start of Fresh Classic

Since it’s already announced that we are going right to TBC right after AQ is done… and we are getting lot of QOL and Dual Spec for the first time later patch.

Can’t we also get Blood Elf and Draenei so we can get paladin/shaman for each factions?

That way I could just level Blood Elf Paladin from the start of fresh classic and level with everyone else without relying on Mage boost like PEOPLE DID FEW WEEKS BEFORE TBC.

I think you’re asking the wrong person mate. Kaivax is a community manager.

Community Manager talks to the devs. Since devs barely respond back on X/social media - talking to the most active and responding community manager would be appropriate place.

I’m more along the lines of #nochanges, but since they’re doing dual spec this wouldn’t even really matter to me. The fundamentals of build identity are gone anyway, so I don’t really see the point in withholding this particular request.

Wait, so what happens with naxx40? Does it get released the same time as TBC?

this is a great idea

please i will be ok with this pls belf pallies!

When vanilla originally was released, people barely stayed with build/bis gear logic identity.

It only started to show 1000% more when we first got Classic Vanilla because we all knew what we were getting into.

Build identity is a meme when a majority of builds aren’t viable to begin with. Identity =/= pigeon holed into one role. At least with TBC changes to talents things got better across the board for a lot of classes. The idea that vanilla’s class balance was the best version of the game is cope.

You’re being really silly and unreasonable. To do this, you have to include their starting zones and all of their quests in addition to their capital cities. Don’t imagine that they can just put Draenei in Teldrassil or something. You’re asking too much physical TBC stuff to be put into vanilla.

People need to stop with the ‘hey, since you changed this then you can change anything!’ mindset.

You’re being silly and unreasonable. To do this, you have to update to 2.0 client and install the burning crusade expansion. Don’t imagine that they can just progress to Burning Crusade or something. You’re asking too much physical TBC stuff to be put into vanilla.

(Reality check, yes, they can. It’s already in the game. You can also progress from MC/Onyxia with it. Nothing is stopping it.)

There’s not a lot of difficulty in adding Azuremyst/Bloodmist Isles and Eversong Woods and Ghostlands… it’s not a rocket science. There were no big instance/zone changes like they did with WOTLK.

They would also have to rework all the paladin quests for horde and shaman quests for alliance.

Not a QoL feature, as you can roll either class already.

So, which Horde race can you play as a paladin then?

This is literally already in the Burning Crusade client.
