I’d hope by now Blizzard realizes the absolute worst outcome of delaying is that the 24/7 demographic will temporarily play others games or briefly suspend their subscription before jumping back in the instant new phases are released.
I’m okay with blizzard releasing content when they think we’re ready for it, and it’s clear they’re gearing up for P2 with the removal of layers on basically every server at this point. They stated that they wanted layers gone before P2 comes.
Acquiescing to a minority clamouring for it will not be good for the longevitiy of the game. The faster they drop the phases the faster Classic will become a ghost town.
Those that want phase 3-4 can be on a server that is in that phase, those that are not ready for it can stay on 1-1.5 servers. Heck make it a premium service I will pay ~$20 a character to be on an oceanic phase 3 server.
Anyone that has even a shred of skill is facerolling the super nerfed unbalanced end of expansion tier 1 content.
You are not delivering on vanilla, classic is stale. At least give us a battleground.
Actually they dropped diremaul because they intended to have the entirity of phase 2 deployed but still have layering to work out.
Give the people what they want, just have batches of “slow progress” servers and a normal progressive server for those that actually do play a few hours a week and have exhausted the content.
Except they didn’t. Even a couple weeks ago there were a ton of people at 60.
Now maybe if they’d dropped DM or phase 2 the second week of classic you would have a point. But 6 weeks is more than enough time to hit 60 with moderate play time.
Once again the player base are acting like entitled brats, and are going to end up ruining the classic experience. I reallllly hate the people that play this game now, and allowed it to become (retail wise) the way it is.
They are gonna cry until we get naxx by December, then cry until we have BC in March.
I think battle grounds would be alright to implement. Atleast warsong gultch. I don’t want them to release phases too early, even if we do have a lot of 60’s. Make an alt.
