I’m not interested in TBC and not sure they could pull off classic+. So it will probably die after Naxx. The servers have been slowly bleeding players since classic was launched and there aren’t more new player starting than those leaving. TBC would further divide the player base.
TBC is probably the best bet because 25/10 man raids would work better with lower populations than keeping 40 man raids in classic+.
We have a classic+, it’s called retail, look how they turned classic to what it is today.
Y’all can have anything you want as long as I get my flying sparkle pony.
That is false if it means “Blizzard plans this”.
Blizzard has never said that they will “do anything to ensure the longevity of classic WoW”. So this is just another thread saying “OP thinks Blizzard should do this”.
Just clarifying a point. Continue discussing possibilities. That’s a perfectly useful discussion.
Thank you, I’ve enjoyed this classic+ discussion.
“Classic +”, i.e. a version of the game with new content is called Shadowlands. “Classic” has and always had a finite end, the Naxx content.
Flying improved the game. If they really were to do Classic+ (but I know they won’t) I would want flying in it.
I think you mean a Classic person. Anti-classic+ means you just want Classic, which is what we asked for in the first place and what was promised.
Please go away.
Yeah, this is what I see is the elephant in the room when it comes to talk of Classic+.
Does anyone REALLY believe they’ll be fine with doing newer, harder content and not getting better gear than what already exists?
The magic 8 ball says: Absolutely not.
Love the people who think Classic is dying. Maybe your server but mine is strong.
Ponies bite.
Ponies are evil.
What’s your point?
No. Absolutely not. If they were to do some sort of “Classic+” this would be the one thing they shouldn’t do.
You introduce new gear and you’ve just began your way down an infinite rabbit hole where gear eventually becomes so powerful that… Well it’ll just get silly. We’ve seen how this goes in retail.
No. No classic+. And especially no new gear.
I’m required to have a point?
Yeah. That’s part of the problem. It’s so open to interpretation that it gives Blizzard a massive open field for screwing it up. Blizzard’s recent track record is all the more reason to stick to a very strict set of already defined parameters.
Point taken.
But that’s what Classic+ is. So much content that was originally planned for Vanilla got put on back burners until later expansions, including TBC. Many of the unresolved plot lines were just fixed or glossed over by Cataclysm and Legion.
Never mind the fact that by the end of Naxxramas, Tanks are near or at the Armor Cap and Avoidance in Vanilla has no diminishing returns, and specs like Fire Mage can just produce ludicrous amounts of damage with rolling Ignite. A reset of level, a bit more depth of talent trees, etc, are all necessary without just creating a one-off Halion style filler boss that’s at or near KT’s difficulty.
So to put it bluntly: Classic+ is not happening. We’ll get TBC Classic or nothing at all.
Classic will never die. Lok’tar Ogar!
