new MMO wouldnât be holding back on releasing content.
Actually itâs kind of the opposite that happen : content get rushed through the gate to keep people happyâŚgood thing we donât really have to worry about the ârushedâ part since itâs all done, and blizz just have to turn a switch on.
and hey, we do have many example of MMO doing classic/ TLP stuff : EQ for example have itâs classic server release content at 5X (or faster) the original rate just to keep player interested!
indeed, things are much larger than your narrow field of view⌠too bad history and reality isnât on your side.
Not really a fan of this. Not because Iâm not 60 yet (hit 55 today, had a 10 day vacation in So Cal 2 weeks ago). But because Iâm worried Blizz is pushing the timeline too fast in general. DM launched 3 1/2 months after Vanilla released. Now weâre getting it in 7 weeks?
And I donât see who this benefits. Those who burned through content and got to 60 in a few weeks whoâve cleared MC 4-5 times and killed Ony maybe 7? That population is guaranteed to be less than 1% of the player base. Those folks really donât need the loot provided from DM. While there might be a few pieces that upgrade them in the short term, most of it will be improved through raiding. And it wonât benefit the many players who are level 53 and below who are still working on leveling up - since they wonât be running DM at launch. So weâre talking them relatively small number of players who are 1) Level 54-59 when DM releases (since you need to be at least level 54 to start equipping drops from DM), or 2) Level 60 players who donât plan on raiding. And its that 2nd group that REALLY worries me. Itâs 6 weeks since Classic launched and I get the feeling Blizzard is already getting ready to cater to the âIâm max level and donât want to raid but still want great lootâ crowd. The exact thing many feel lead to the disaster we see in WoW Retail today.
Also, I imagine that QuelâSerrar will be coming with DM (I mean, why wouldnât it). Top tier tanking weapon that lasts until Naxx thatâs essentially AH purchasable (with only needing to kill Ony after buying it) only weeks after Classic launch doesnât worry anyone else?
Again, not seeing why itâs better that DM launch next week instead of several months down the road with P2. Then again, Iâm not playing a class that can solo farm DM for tons of gold eitherâŚso maybe thatâs itâŚ
Not sure why people care. If mc maintained its lengthy tedious grind fest and people wanted to better reproduce that it makes sense. However, mc is a 1 hr faceroll. Dm will just make it a 50 minute faceroll.
I feel like I play a crap load, and I am only level 54, just enjoying myself throughout the process. I wish I had more time to play, but now I shall have another dungeon to run and WPvP soon, I cannot wait!
You donât have an argument. Your entire routine here is nothing more than âiâve got mine, nobody else matter, roll out content the instant i want it, it doesnât matter how far behind me anyone else isâ. You have no sense of pacing or balance.
Itâs not about me as an individual, or any individual. Itâs the broad philosophy behind the game. And a rush mentality is not what I thought Classic was about. It was about the experience, the journey. Soaking it in and taking our time. Instead Blizzard is just basing decisions on the small amount of players who throw that experience and journey to the wayside, and speed through it all.
If this is who Blizzard is trying to appeal to, then so be it. But thatâs not me. And itâs not the philosophy I thought was behind Classic. But Iâm not a rash person. Iâll take some time and think things through before making a decision.
Clearly blizzard forgot how faceroll vanilla was/is.
You know that old saying, if you tell a lie and tell it a lot, it suddenly becomes the truth. This was pretty much the population that were fixated on the âdifficultyâ of Vanilla.
Classic raiding/progression is a joke by modern retail raiding. Classic raids are basically LFR. Just faceroll.
go look up everquest TLP server; the release date of the different expansion are public and pre-determined. Seloâs, mangler and so on. they release expension on a 3 month or a 6 month schedule, some of them bundled together ( LoY with PoP, PoR with DoDH⌠original only lasting 3 month instead of 2-something year and so on).

no, the argument is people at the top are already leaving classic cause thereâs nothing to do⌠and there is nothing to do after your weekly clear. you canât expect people to just come back in 3 months or however long it take to get BGs out⌠only a fraction of those who leave will come back.
on the other hand, your argument is ââ well, some people arenât here YET, so we should all wait for themââ⌠as if that happened back in 2004, or as if the once-a-week casual logger will ever âcatch upâ to the hardcore-minded.
