Don't rush Classic phases

Wowhead’s data is inaccurate lmao.
It showed Herod as one of the lowest population servers when it’s literally almost always full and it’s one of the very few servers that are still layered - go figure.
That site is trash.

Hmmm… hard data with an explanation of how it was gathered or anecdotal post on a forum?

I’m only level 19, 3 bars from 20. Started playing 3 weeks ago. Releasing content too quickly is always a reason that some people get behind. There’s more to the game than raiding.

phase does not bring you any more gear… DM is already out.

3 months to 60 is hardly ‘rushing’

odd, I see a lot of strat-scholo-brs and DM on my server.

and that’s on top of all the people who are done with 5-mans / aren’t particularly interested in running more of them as their guild clear MC which… is pretty easy and rather common.

And DM was supposed to come out in P2 and instead they released it early.
It isn’t 3 months, it’s been 2 months.

Classic might be the tail that wags the dog. If it has implications for sub revs, the rollout of phases in Classic might be timed to generate revenue to mask the potential lackluster effect of 8.3. I know of more people waiting for Classic content in future phases than for patch 8.3 even with the current social media push.

Classic content has to be accelerated, It’s too easy, hard to keep people playing. 10 weeks per phase sounds about right, I would be disapointed if we’re not raiding Naxx by the end of 2020.

It’s too easy because they released the final patch of Vanilla at the start of Classic. That doesn’t mean that they should rush content. By that logic Naxx should be open since day 1

I’m confused… how would releasing phase 2 effect people who are just hitting 60 and beginning to raid?

They already added dire maul… phase 2 brings the honor system… how would this impact anyone in regard to PvE content outside of being ganked on pvp servers which happens already?

There’s no need to rush anything. A raid tier is typically 3-6 months long. The games been out for 2 months and most people aren’t 60 yet. We could easily have another 3-4 months of phase 1 and it would still be perfectly fine. I don’t wanna see BWL for a good long time.

Go level another alt ya neckbeards!

I’m not even close yet, just 40 at the moment. However, I hope they take their time after phase II and address the many bugs that have been reported:

  1. Missing elites all over the place (looks like 2.x changes slipped through)
  2. Missing mobs in dungeons
  3. Missing mechanics for boss fights, even for trash.

Read the bug forum if you want to be really depressed :wink:

Not everybody was in a hurry to get to 60 and start farming epics.
There is more to the game than the end game.

Most people in this forum act like if some players move on to the next phase, they’ll be left in the dust.

If you think logically though, you will realize that when you’re finally hitting 60. Others will be as well.

Obviously… that’s why you’re all crying now for that content you didn’t rush to get to but still want. And I wouldn’t call getting to 60 in two months time really rushing.

They’re also forgetting that some players don’t want to raid all the time and are okay taking the bench. Or that some players already got the drops so there will be less competition.

The people clamoring for Phase 2/3 are the same people that hit 60 the first couple weeks.

The ones I see asking for it are people leveling. They’re asking for phase 3 so there are BGs to take the PVP off of em.

Phase 2 is just World PVP and world bosses.

I mean, the solution to that is not being on a PVP server or being on a medium pop server.

I know what P2 is, that’s why I said P2/3
