I’m sorry but you’ve yet to ever give good reasons for why your proposed changes should happen, except for, of course, “I personally would fine it fun.”
This is why your AV changes also weren’t considered in Classic.
You make two straight up false assertions and pretend that’s discussion?
Assertion: Blizzard supports dual spec and the onus is on you to prove it would be bad.
Um no. If they supported it it would be in the game. At best they may be considering it. And no the onus isn’t on me to prove it would be bad for the game. In fact that’s not even my position. I’m simply arguing that I don’t accept the arguments given so far as to why you think it would be good for the game.
I think it does very little benefit to the game and will possibly erode the RP value of choosing a character path. I doubt it will have the impact you claim it will have. By the way, there’s a reason in that comment, one of many I have already provided. I’m not strongly opposed to the feature, I’m just not for it, but there are reasons why I have misgivings and I have clearly given those reasons (and you know it).
Assertion: You fall back on #nochanges.
Um no. I simply don’t make that argument and never have. All I claim is that changes should be well justified and fit the overall design direction of the game.
Two assertions that you literally make up to create a completely incorrect impression of the claims I’m making.
My claim is that you need to provide a reason why the game should change in this specific regard (I’ve accepted other changes as justified). That’s it and that’s the extent of my claim.
The onus is in fact on you to satisfy my doubts about your claims. You’re the one selling something. I’m simply saying I don’t want to buy what you’re selling at this stage.
but “improving gameplay” isn’t the sole heuristic for which additions/changes to the game are considered. There’s still that niggling “authentic to TBC” condition that has an influence on what is appropriate or not for an authentic TBC experience as well.
If you were 100% perfect in every one of your posts you would have the standing to make that comment. But while not the worst person here you’re often guilty of the same things you complain about in others.
Yet you also ask us to repeat our arguments when you could use the search too. /shrug
The only reason we keep copping it is we keep throwing it back. Others leave, which is what they want, dissenting views to be bullied out of the thread or trashed and discredited.
I’m cool with that, my ego isn’t tied to “forum rep”.
“They” being two specific people, their used to be four of the but the other two seemed to have gotten bored. Can’t blame them.
I don’t care what you and others think. I have no desire to convince you of anything. I’m posting because the devs asked for players to give them feedback on the changes they wanted when they said BC was going to be different to vanilla classic and not no changes. They added some changes from the beginning, said more changes would be coming, and they have continued to add changes.
Patrick Dawson: “No changes” being our guiding principle for WoW Classic made it very easy to make decisions on it. We just went to the reference client and went to that. But one thing we learned as we went through the release of the content in Classic is that [no changes] may not always be in the best interest of the players. Putting back in things like spell batching made the game feel a little less crisp. It was authentic, but it’s not what modern players want. The community today is so different from what the community was back in 2007 that it had us take a different philosophy with Burning Crusade, where we actually started to allow ourselves to make some changes that were in the best interests of the players that will continue to develop alongside the community.
