I imagine it’s all about to unfold at Blizzcon this year… Hype for Classic + is growing and Chris Metzen is back as creative director. It’s anyone’s guess what will happen but we all know Chris’s style is more in line with classic.

That’s probably what it is, and probably why people disliked it originally, because of a step up in difficulty after wrath.

Wouldn’t touch Classic+ with a 10 ft pole, but if they give it to people good for them as long as I get cata lol
maybe edit this with a spell check program and get back to me…as it is this is just so painful to read I don’t actually care what it’s about.
because the people who “don’t want to play cata because of the direction” keep posting about how it should just never exist, rather than keeping their opinions to themselves and just not play it. they would rather ruin it for the rest of us, just like how people lobbied against RDF in wrath, than simply ignore the iteration they don’t want to play.
Been like this since Classic launched honestly, as soon as that came out people were yelling about “no tbc”.
I’m not saying to take away other servers, they never should have deleted TBC for example, but this “i got what I wanted you can’t have yours” mentality needs to die.
Cata is really when skill>time. Classic andrews have been doing everything they can to make sure that does not happen.

Nobody remembers how CATA gutted classes?
They were never the same and not in a good way IMO.

Holy Power was a trash mechanic and should never have existed.

HP for Ret is weird. HP for Prot feels right.
+1 for wrath eternal era servers. No thanks on the Cata.

The classes only become better lol. Like its not even a question and they were not gutted, why do you guys make this nonsense up?
Quick edit, I’ll give any paladin pass, I know holy power is a controversial topic

Really, that’s your problem? Hunters not having to deal with mana? Mana didn’t even make sense for hunters in the first place…

Nah, only Holy gets a pass. IIRC HPal had mana AND hp and it was just a stupid system. HP for Prot/Ret is fine. Holy should just have mana like every other healer.

Cata is not “classic”.
It is the absolute clear cutoff point when the game STOPPED being “classic” and started being "retail " / activision WoW.
