I wanted so bad to revisit TBC/WrathCata. But the fact that they’re just progressing made me lose interest in them.
It wouldn’t split the community, because players like me aren’t keeping up with the releases as it is. It would give players more options to play the version of the game they want. Not to mention solo-style challenges that are unique to certain expansions that would allow more communities to form…
Please Blizzard, consider keeping a Cata era server around!
I would leave 2 era servers per expansion so everyone can play whatever they want.
One of the servers stays in the final phase of each expansion while the other automatically goes through every phase lasting a few months each and when the cyclical server reaches the end of the last phase, all characters get transfered into the permanent one and it starts fresh again.
All this while being able to transfer your characters to any of the more recent classic era expansions available including the current one that will keep going through expansions until god knows when.
That would be amazing.
i can see vanila bc wrath but never cata wish we skip cata and move on to mop cata was so dislike since it use most of the time revamping all of 1 to 60
so it need more end game to be a beter expansion
I 100% assure, guarantee, promise you that 1 server of all 11 expacs to date will have a population playing that given server.
They give and take away servers in order to drag us around so they can make money through their hype-train campaigns.
For example…
They’re going to give us TBC again…
But didn’t we have a TBC server not too long ago?
Did it really need to end and be taken down?
Why exactly would it have been taken down only to be given to us again?
There’s definitely value in f r e s h realms. But era servers should never rotate out in my opinion.
giving even more versions of wow is a bad idea. They are already spreading the community thin as it is with the what… 5 versions they have now?
I see a cycle eventually happening. Right now its about FOMO, even if that might be stupid, because marketing runs the world. The whole new classic thing really boiled down to the 20 year deal. It also gives them an exit ramp if things don’t work out in the future. WOD probably being that big question mark, I’m not saying its DOA but only a fool would think nothing to worry about here.
They released cata, they will 100% release wod.
WoD itself wasn’t a bad expansion, it’s just tainted with the same nostalgia of the last tier lasting way too long. (a year ?) The raids were actually really fun and finally upgrading the legendary ring. Follower mission boards will need to be fine tuned because people made mass gold from that if you had many alts.
I think WoD added a lot to the game tbh
Despite the cut content, WoD still had lots to do, and the content drought wasn’t as bad as some people say.
People didn’t complain about content in MoP, which focused heavily on dailies, yet they criticize WoD for having less “forced” content. I think that WoD’s cut content (like cities) has been overly criticized, even though cuts are common in most expansions.
LMFAO no shot this post is real XDDD
I think you read a little bit to much in between the lines.
Having a mere question or thought isn’t me saying its 100% not coming out.
6 months in Dragon Soul is long enough, maybe even too long, you want 6 years? God no.
A cycle is the best compromise. We just got fresh classic servers that we know are going to TBC and more than likely Wrath as well, so those will probably continue rotating through with another set of servers a few years behind them. Having permanent servers for each expansion is simply going to spread the already low population too thin, that was an idea for when WoW had 12 million players, not now
Well i can see why blizzard wants to prolong Dragon soul.
Dragonsoul launches this week and mop doesn’t launch till September sometime. We will have 29-33 weeks of Dragonsoul.
If blizzard launches the 30% nerf over time like they did in ICC lets say its 5% every 2 weeks. That would mean it would take 12 weeks to get the full nerf out. Now since blizzard wants people to still have time to clear the content after its full nerfed lets call that 4 weeks.
These weeks are based off the Monday of each week.
September 1st MoP launch would give us 29 weeks of Dragon Soul.
12 weeks to roll out a full 30% nerf
4 weeks of full nerf for players to clear the content leaves players with
13 weeks of regular content.
September 8
12 weeks to roll out a full 30% nerf
4 weeks of full nerf for players to clear the content leaves players with
14 weeks of regular content.
September 15
12 weeks to roll out a full 30% nerf
4 weeks of full nerf for players to clear the content leaves players with
15 weeks of regular content.
September 22nd
12 weeks to roll out a full 30% nerf
4 weeks of full nerf for players to clear the content leaves players with
16 weeks of regular content. (This seems to be more on par with how blizzard seems to do things 16 weeks of content before rolling nerfs)
Sep 29th
12 weeks to roll out a full 30% nerf
4 weeks of full nerf for players to clear the content leaves players with
17 weeks of regular content.
They’ll nerf it towards the end just like Firelands.
The reply I was replying to had nothing to do with what you just posted though, OP wants servers that stay as Cataclysm.
And?
Why is that our problem?
Why create/recreate new/old expansions at all if they’re just going to be canned at the end of their cycles?
What demographic would that be designed for?
People who like progression servers.
I’ll say what you refuse to say out loud…
RETAILERS.
