I appreciate the untouchable and unfinished Era, but this is SoD. Build it and they will come (return). Pop booster.
Thoughts?

maybe fix pvp first?
I think SOD is basically over. Which is a good thing. Phase one was fantastic but it was downhill from there. The faster it’s over the better. And I hope we get to start an era fresh this month.
I have always wondered why we did not get more bgs and random queue for extra honor in SoD, would have been nice to see Southshore vrs Tarren Mill to go with AV 40 vrs 40 as well, so many other changes I feel they missed the mark on this one, I can only hope if there is a SoD season 2 things like this will happen.
They’re not really trying to boost pop at this point lol.
SoD has maybe two phases left in it. Phase 6 comes out this month. Phase 7 will come out in January-February (I’m guessing)
After that, I’d be willing to bet money that there will be no Phase 8. The Season will end.
good, want to see a second try at it without all the mistakes and more things added like bgs, sooner the better.
Yeah though it’s more likely we get something like Classic Fresh before we get another SoD/Classic+ project unfortunately.
I would hazard a guess to say SoD 2.0/Classic+ isn’t going to hit the pipeline until 2026-2027 at the earliest
That be a nice lore friendly BG in the mix.
I always like AB with blizzard effects too. If you cna’t see 10 feet past your face, you can’t make inc callouts for LM or GM from stable sitting at BS lol.
+1 for a new battleground. What about that Azshara one?
Nobody cares for “pvp” . You wont be getting anything new for that mini game. PVE content is coming soon as its the main reason for playing classic and the only reason people log in! “PVP” IS griefing in this day and age. Hopefully soon enough blizzard will just flat out remove “pvp” outside of duels because “pvp” is what made sod die. That and ofc shamans that remain to this day the most broken class ever. Nothing says “pvp” like 1v5’ing as a shaman in green and blue gear while using no mana and healing any dmg that comes in all while doing steady dmg ^.^ Hope you have a great day Graphene
And you are still here. Why? If it is over. The doomers do not make sense.
What are you talking about? I just resubbed to play some hardcore before the era fresh launches. Chatting on the forums is nice sometimes.
You guys have such weird arguments.
Era has Cata now as part of the already fresh. How many freshes do you all need?
Cata is retail. Shadowlands classic will be a retail venture as well. Vanilla is all that matters.
There’s Era players that want Fresh Classic every 2 years indefinitely with #nochanges
Why? I don’t know but its hilarious. Half the classes are stuck as healing/buff bots, others just spam 1 ability like frostbolt, and most raids will just be stacking warriors. Have fun I guess?
I always felt that vanilla was half finished and needed more work. SoD reminds me how my favourite warlock felt during the BC prepatch with all the new goodies. Not dot tickles and one pump. Affliction is now viable again. I just put Era on the shelf after hoping I can enjoy the lock in Era. I should have tried SoD sooner. I am having a blast now.
Because it was. Just look at the talent trees. 31-point talent in the Hunter Survival tree is … Rend. Literally Rend. Rend with a different name, “Lacerate”. But it’s Rend. An ability Warriors learn at Level 2? 31-point talent.
Feral Druids got … Improved Pounce. An extra combo point and an extra half-second on the stun? 31-point talent.
The game was in a playable state in November 2024, but it was still a beta that was pay-to-playtest.
If PvE players could understand that PvP is what makes a game survive the first 3 weeks of new content it would be great.
PvP is what makes people play the game instead of raid-logging. In 2004, people really enjoyed leveling alts and grind for hours on end. It’s not so much the case anymore but people enjoy competing against one another in a balanced environment. Otherwise you just raid-log and run dailies.
So please let’s stop saying PvP is a mini-game when it is the best ratio dev time/player time aspect of the game. A good BG can keep players busy and happy for years on end. The opposite can’t be said about PvE.
We need new PvE content 3 to 4 times per year. Make a balanced PvP scene and you can have the same BG popping for years without anyone having issues with it.
Nay to new BGs – that’s never going to happen, in SoD specifically.
Yay to new World PVP events like Battle for Ashenvale and STV Blood Moon.
We could have low-level PVP, but we don’t. Because leveling alts isn’t very fun for the jillionth time. BFD is made for the Level 29 bracket, and it’s still good for the Level 39 bracket. Gnomer could be good for the Level 49 bracket, but it’s a much higher barrier to entry compared to 29/39.
Just add Behsten & Slahtz so players can gear out a Level 29/39/49 alt, play BGs and World PVP, and keep their alt locked at the level/bracket of their choosing. Players who dont PVP will continue to not PVP. Players who want to PVP but do not will have additional incentive to make alts, run low-level dungeons/raids.
i think sod needs a team deathmatch battle ground
