Is classic actually classic?

So, dungeons will not be very challenging because of the patch that we are getting which is basically the end of expansion patch which preps for BC. Ok, well that sucks.

That’s not it!!!

The videos show that you don’t have to try in dungeons & you will still win. Yes we’re better at wow!!! But they aren’t using any tools in the bfd video that are absolutely required in classic… So that means you can potentially run every dungeon at the appropriate level without ever needing to think about it… Healing is easy… mobs do no damage… no cc needed… it’s going to become another aoe fest like retail

This is what’s happening!!! They’re going to release classic but without anything that made it classic lol… It’s going to be so easy everyone will be bored & quit

Private servers openly state that they use 1.12 class design paired with 10 to 20 % harder NPCs to simulate pre class revamp experiences. It’s not “real” classic, it’s an attempt to give us better classes with harder enemies to simulate classic.

Ok I see your point… we are all screwed… :frowning: well boys and girls… guess we might have to pray for another MMO if Actiblizzion messes up classic…

If you’re trying to bring back players why would you make the players you’re bringing back get bored?

If they buff enemy damage then everything is fine & classic will be very fun… if we don’t need cc & mobs do no damage then this is retails latest expansion.

Weren’t they like almost best gear though? Ever hear of twinks?

There is no way to know if they give a better/authentic vanilla experience because there is nothing to measure it by. Memories are subjective and mostly false.

You may like the close 1.12 emulation with 25% more mob damage that many pservers offer but that doesn’t mean it matches vanilla.

Look at the bfd video. They’re not level 30. They never use cc. They wipe but because of noob mistakes… The actual in combat damage suggests that Healing is easy… Tanking is easy… & cc isn’t required

Here is a thought, who is to say that’s not on a pserver that has been toned down.

So if the main draw of classic is slower paced methodical gameplay, why would they create the game where aoe & no cc is the norm? As opposed to cc is required if you want to survive… If the main appeal of this game is the gameplay… Why is the gameplay resembling retail???

As I said before this is old news to anyone paying attention. It seems you haven’t been, which is fine, but we’re a week from release and blizzard has stated there will be no balancing changes. You either play 1.12 or you don’t at this point.

The videos are from closed beta in June/July.

And who is to say they haven’t “tuned” it since, i’m sure the Beta players reported this if its a true representation, lets all calm down and let classic launch and if we start seeing this as routine during play then worry. Knows the stress test i played in the mobs acted like the mobs i remembered… and the 2 deaths i have from 0-12 proved me out.

I am a hardcore classic fan & I still didn’t make this connection until seeing this thread & seeing the videos… So I am proof there is people interested in classic but once they see the real product they will be turned off…

Once everyone sees how easy the game is it won’t last very long.

Without having to manage resources and abilities and CC as a must then…not only is not really the Classic vanilla experience, its not even as good as BC then in my opinion. This kinda of craps on the whole instanced PVE side of it. What a joke!

And based off your posting history your just a troll.

The little research I’m doing shows specifically elite mobs are easier meaning mainly dungeons… So in open world while you’re questing it probably feels like classic…

Soda is a popular streamer & noticed faster health Regen & easier elite mobs

And how long have you been playing the released version to come to this conclusion? What a joke.

it’s as close as they can get running 1.12 data through a legion server.
