I hate to break it to blizz but what they are doing is part of the reason why retail has done nothing but gone downhill…yet here they are changing gear once again and why not just call the heroic+'s mythics being thats exactly what it is? why not just come out and say were getting a bunch of complaints from those hoping over from retail about how slow and painful getting gear is in classic…well guess what? that’s exactly why classic was better up until cata when all the handouts and laziness started up and slowly started to turn the game into what it has become…and blizzard wonders why they are still losing subs…lets see…here’s a hint a game based on doing your part and actually working towards something has meaning not a game you can get on play for about an hour get what you want because the laziness kicked in and they hand gear out…the work ethic that is within the game is why classic has and will be better than the handout lazy way…hence why so many have told me why they dont play anymore…there’s no since in pride at all or even accomplishment at all given the way how gear has been forced and handed out in retail these days
what happened? new news or old news?
Blizz said in an interview with MrGM that they’re gonna roll out “heroic plus” dungeons (an optional difficulty increase starting in phase 2) where you can get all the 10man phase 1 loot from.
What…
thats awful.
link plz?
What?

Thank you for the interpretation Kalastab.
That is absolutely terrible.
Why would they try this idea?
Something about keeping heroics relevant is my guess. They did allude to that earlier in some blue posts
Because the similar system in retail is wildly popular. I would assume that is why they are opting to add it here.
killing the game.
smh.
For those who don’t want to click.
Loot Changes
When Ulduar releases in Phase 2 of Wrath Classic, loot that drops in 10-man raids from Phase 1 will be replaced with loot that drops from 25-man raids from Phase 1. Blizzard thinks this will make the first tier of loot more interesting, so raiders will only need to go back to 10-mans to get their raid loot. But what happens to the 10-man loot from the Phase 1 raids? Well…
Heroic Plus Dungeons
When Ulduar releases in Phase 2 of Wrath Classic, all 10-man loot from Phase 1 of Wrath Classic will be moved to Heroic Dungeons, in a new version of the dungeon with an increased difficulty. Players will have the ability to increase the difficulty on Heroic Dungeons, granting the loot drops from 10-man Phase 1 raids.
This is a significant change to Wrath Classic, and explains the vague Blue Post that referenced Heroic Dungeons getting additional challenges added –
I don’t see how any of this is a bad idea. This is a great way to help those who fall behind get on par quickly. It also incentivizes guilds to run 10-man catch-up raids for raid members and alts.
Hell, I would be willing to compromise on my RDF stance and keep Heroic+ out of RDF just to give those who desperately need control something to lord over.
Because it’s as you said, this is Wrath+ with lots of changes FOR THE BETTER.
Also the devs are out of their minds.
Who asked for this! Where are the hundreds of posts and complaints of people asking for Mythic+? Blizzard is completely divorced from their community and it shows…
Don’t take what I said on a different topic on a different subject and apply it to a BRAND NEW feature being added.
Coming back to OP’s comments. After finally getting through that giant run-on sentence, his whole beef boils down to being upset that people will get the previous tier 25-man gear from running a 10-man?
Putting aside the fact that that doesn’t affect you in the slightest, and focused solely on your epeen argument here. Why would it matter to you? They are in 25-man Naxx gear and you’re rocking Ulduar gear, you still get to “flex on them” in Dalaran.
Also, the argument that making the game easier to catch up on gear would make sub counts decline is a wild argument.
Same principle. What the devs are doing is a bunch of unathentic BS.
its different, but ill agree its a bad idea.
How tf is this fine, but RDF is out of the question… what the actual f
Just what players wanted— even more content recycling.
Blizz, it’s okay if some of the content is only relevant for some amount of the expansion. Not everything needs to be stretched to its limits.
Maybe if people like retail they should stay on retail. This is not the point of classic at all.
