If Blizzard was actually making classic+ using SOD as a type of experimental lab to see what works and what doesnt work then why would Blizzard stop at p8 and not continue into TBC or some kind of p9?
Classic+ is probably 2 years away. It seems crazy to me that Blizzard would stop SOD here when there is so much time left before we get classic+
I dont think you understand how game development works. I also dont think you understand the entire point of SoD and the concept of Classic+.
I think it’s almost clear at this point that SoD is a testing ground for Classic+ or WoW2. Whatever it’ll be called.
I think the point of SoD is to see what works in a modernized version of Classic WoW and to use that information to implement into their new project.
Again…what’s the point of “SOD TBC”.
Like if they go the route of the originally planned content patch that was likely going to happen after Naxx. Sure.
But to just “TBC but with runes” is just…why???
Like do you people realize how limiting TBC would make SoD?
Only prot warriors could get Devastate.
Only prot paladins could get Avenger’s Shield.
Only ret paladins could get Crusader Strike.
Only feral druids could get Mangle.
Only resto druids could get Treefrom.
Only disc priests could get Pain Suppression.
Only holy priests could get Circle of Healing or Spirit of Redemption.
Only Assassination rogues could get Mutilate.
Only sub rogues could get Shadowstep.
Only resto shamans could get Earth Shield.
Only Enh shamans could get Shamanistic Rage.
Only demo locks could get Felguard.
…and that’s just off the top of my head.
Because I want vanilla content expanded upon, not TBC.
well explain then… im sure they were just asking but i dont think you understand how how questions work with out being rude
TBC is retail
The dev team is small and spending more time on balancing SoD tbc would remove time spent on classic+. Outland and flying mounts would also be a net negative
Hellfire was supposed to be in vanilla… I could see them giving us part of outland. I don’t know what classic plus means, if it means anniversary with more content, hard pass. If it is SOD with fresh content, I am all in…
But, in season of discovery the devs learned that they could keep both Anniversary and SOD running on the same code, you saw it in AV… Maybe classic plus has extreme Dad mode with one button rotations and mc mechanics in new content as well as Chad mode, with the SOD style.
They could build a sod fight and just turn all the mechanics off for the anniversary folks…
