lol Xaryu has the worse ideas of all the streamers for anything wow related… That just proves you don’t actually watch any of the content they put out. That dude is a cringe fest when it comes to wow
Retail has been a dumpster fire for a decade and they play it. Streamers will say or do whatever they need to do for clicks and $$$
Okay i see you’re just here to troll, but I’ll engage one last time since you’re spreading misinformation here.
This was done by the community long before official hc.
I agree this is a bit silly, though you never feel it while playing normally and it was something a huge part of the hc community was asking for. I personally think greifing is a part of wow and there are many ways to avoid dragged mobs, but I am a minority there - most hc players seemed to want this.
This is false information - hit a pvp npc you get pvp flagged. They even made the swamp horde npc be more aggressive at pvp flagging enemies than in classic.
Unless they made this change in Nov - it is again false information. Pretty sure that only happens if a fp bugs. I leveled a hunter to 60 in hc recently and not a single time did a fp reset my hearth.
Now SoD has:
Nearly 100 class buffs in form of runes
Entire new roles to classes
lvl 25 mounts
Resilience item
If you can’t see the difference, I’m sure you’re just the perfect market for SoD and I hope you have a great time play it.
I tried tbc and it was even worse that I remembered (my subjective opinion) so i quit until SoM came out, then when that died did a little pserver, and imagine after that Era was fully alive again.
Lie about what? TBC was horrible relative to vanilla.
If you think the hype train that went to tbc, then wrath, then a lot came back to era (followed by all the gold sellers and their bots) - is what defines a good game… I’m not sure what to tell you.
They literally changed the NPC atop thousand needles to stop it.
I will thanks! Cant wait to continue reading your salt by either:
A. Claiming you arent playing yet still talking smack on every SoD thread or
B. Are playing SoD all day and night, talking smack yet still playing all night and day.
I disagree that it “destroyed class identity” it is shakeing things up and amplifying and changeing class identity. Destroying them would mean there is nothing left.
Warrior class fantasy is being big and beefy chargeing in with plate armor smashing things with your might and a big 2 handed sword or going in with sword and board. That hasnt changed and no one else is doing that even in classic plus. (Paladins do not have a charge and use their holy powers)
All i am seeing is it adding more class fantasy
I cam now be a hunter who plays more like a sentienal or ranger from lore, i dont need a pet i have to micro manage.
I agree with you that my choice of wording is poor.
Some post was saying it increases class homogeneity which I think is a good way to describe it.
But also I think there is a slight element of at least cracking classes, because the new runes add powerful spells - which I think will make it so classes are never using the fun, odd, weak, spells that many have since it is unlikely there will be any empty GCDs to do so.
Like totem twisting, or twisting seal of justice for the stun, downranking, etc. all seem likely to take a negative hit in favor of abilities that are clearly defined and much more powerful.
These more obscure spells are an important factor in separating great players from just decent ones. They are a decent part of what make the skill cap high in vanilla.
I can agree to most of that, though again i feel the entire purpose of SoD is to test what the community in general (because we wont ever fully agree)
On what we want classic plus to be. I doubt SoD is a one shot campaign. And from the hints they dropped at blizzcon they want to do classic plus.
But to see what the community wants they have to do SoD, and be completely crazy with it, they need to see if adding a bunch of abilities actually does make the game less fun.
Rather than see a few opinions on the forums and making an entire game of it they are making a temporary server to test all these ideas as a community and see whats good what falls flat or if we want even more
