I really hope they don’t do that; it strikes me as likely to lead to a ton of tickets that say things like, “I have to carry ammo! Fix this!” and “The dungeon queue’s not working!”
Expect the 1.12 version I am willing to bet a lot on it. There’s virutally zero chance they will actually give us the best version. I don’t feel this project is for the players. If they were serious about doing this properly there would already been blues/devs in this forum nutting it out with us.
In short they have already make up their mind it’s a low quality 1.12 clone. The only thing I see effort in is the game lighting tweaking. Although minimal impact on the end product It showed some passion.
Kind of irionic they don’t show the same for the real important features.
Subbing when it comes out. Haven’t played since wod, was sorta interested in BFA at first not anymore. Never tried Vanilla before except for the current private server that I’m on, loving it so have no desire to sub to BFA.
Blizzard cant avoid sharding anymore as its embedded in its cloud technology. What they can do is set the bar at which it triggers sharding to kick in. So it will be in classic to an extent.
Still doesn’t make sense. If you are talking about beta, an active account is not needed for betas. In fact you can sign up for them even if you play one of the other blizzard games. You just need a bnet account.
If it wasn’t obvious from the level 85 toon I haven’t had a sub since Cata. The game was already in a serious decline then. From the sound of things it has only gotten worse.
Even if “the server will shard at a certain number of people” is hardcoded (something you’d need to support…), it would be as simple as setting the number to five million, and sharding would remain permanently in the realm of the theoretical.
Unfortunately, I’m getting the same vibe as well. They’re just throwing something together. As long as it kinda sorta feels remotely like Vanilla, that’ll be good enough for them.
Lol prove me wrong then if you have a problem with it. I don’t need to prove anything to you im not the one arguing. Sharding is a permanent part of the modern hardware wow is run on. Classic will be running on this same hardware.
