New content in classic style

[Aevelamue-moon-guard (Aevelamue)]

just imagine as a classic fan haveing some of the current wow content remastered in classic style without any of the changes just imagine running something like antorus the burning throne as a classic wow 40 man

[Falnear-wyrmrest-accord (Falnear)]

Not interested. Terrible writing, terribly mutilated world, dancing around a timer got old (talking about “complex” boss mechanics).

What happened to that thread about noticing trends on the forums?

Ive noticed the trend of instead of just replying in the already existing thread ill just create a whole new one with the exact same subject.

i dont see a subject similar to this one

[Auddoras-stormrage]

I would not mind if the change up some stuff as.

Having the big bad areas but almost impossible to kill as only top 10 guilds in the world can possibly do or not we are only adventures.

Certain areas 5 man group quest only.
Keep it dangerous the more you stray from your capital. Not instant ports just like vanilla.
Cap gear at naxx 40 ilvl for difficult provide itemization across the board. Lvl 60 cap.

All the name boss or raids are impossible or almost need all difficult raids cleared with perfect itemization with 40 man for each one.

Example:
All dungeons range in lvl difficulty decides ilvl as schol to deadmines
Ubrs-za- any 10 man raid
Kara - zg- 20 mansame ilvl
Gruul- BWL same ilvl
Mag - onyx
TK- AQ
SSC - naxx 40 (so, would need to clear all naxx 40 difficultly dungeons for perfect itemization to even think of stepping in a impossible raid).

Any named bosses in the raid.
BT - near impossible(need beyond perfect itemization) not meant to be beaten. Just there for story and mystery. Unforgiving fights time limit as 10 wipes a week it locks.

Maybe 1 to 5 ilvl above naxx only from end bosses only gold drops from trash or BWL ilvl boe. Bosses drop depends on difficulty. Naxx to BWL type ilvl. Again end game raids per expansion not meant to beaten but is possible with no mistakes, perfect itemization, pots, flask, and just dumb luck.

If someone goes in it and fails towns burn around it for story purposes.

Have one above those is impossible with out clearing the impossible. Argus the open world take 40 man to do quest to get to the raid. The bosses give 5 ilvl above naxx and last 10 ilvl.

So, game like this would be massive and take 6 to 10 years to discover everything.

Hidden secrets dungeons hidden professions. To make something unbeatable is ok. Of course give us casual things to improve or customize are play style. Then give the hardcore something to work for. Not everything is meant for everyone. I would be down to adventure a dangerous world.

That sounds horrible, IMHO.

[Mathrenas-moon-guard (Mathrenas)]

Would much prefer a state of WoW where they don’t repeat those dreadful, awful, lazy story beats, though I would be down for new content in the form of already planned features that were scrapped for Vanilla.

[Lagooshka-area-52 (Lagooshka)]

Or imagine Bob Ross trying to paint a building in the style of the Sistine Chapel. Its comparable. Newer devs are drastically different from the older devs and they would do a poor job of imitating their work.

i dont see a subject similar to this one

Just used the search for “new content” and found:

Possible new content with Classic servers?

So first I'm sorry if this has been already been a subject of interest and concern within the community, but I've got a question D: So with the news from Blizzcon, we found out that WoW Classic is getting latent patched content released, which to me is very awesome! But what I want to know is what is going to happen to WoW Classic after we get the final patch which is Naxxramas? Now Blizzard said they would keep in close contact with the community to see if we are ready for new content, but i…

Why classic shouldn't get new content

I'm just going to get straight to the point with this. If Blizzard started adding new content to classic, It could easily get to the point that people would start asking for Classic again. And I don't think anyone wants to deal with that situation again.

Is Classic going to have patches and new content?

Okay, I know this question probably sounds extremely stupid, but I am completely in the dark about this. So, are they going to add patches for new content and the same ordeals that modern WoW gets? Or is it going to be the same content with only bug fixes and other things in that criteria?

Xpacs and new content for classic

So as per the last question Ian just said basically new content is possible depending on the player base, but nothing is in the works for anything but classic launch yet.

So, a static world forever...

Perhaps you didn't play Vanilla, but played BC or Wrath. I want you to try to remember a time, without the rose colored glasses, a time when ICC was out for what seemed like forever. Perhaps a time when BT, SCC, Any content really, had been out for a long period of time without new content. Private servers are exempt from this in a way due to their nature. The way they work is one opens up, it fills up, and then six months(ish) later another one opens up, promising everyone a fresh start, and …

Adding New Raid Content to Classic

I’m looking forward to Classic. In Vanilla, I raided through MC, BWL, AQ, and earned my attunement to Naxx but never got to see the bosses at level. But once the majority of the players clear the content and/or the number of active players goes down - like a coiple years from now - what happens next? I would like to see a team work on new level 60 content for Classic servers only. They could patch in spec viability for hybrids especially, and new raid content like the Emerald Dream or something…

New Classic Content?

Say Classic becomes a success and has a good number of players logging on consistently. Would it make sense for blizzard to create content within the confinements of Classic Post Naxx - sayyyy - 2 years from Classic's release? I'm talking about new content on Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor with classic classes and races only.

The same dev team that gave us “I AM MY SCARS!”

[Digweed-cenarion-circle]

Imagine how awesome it would be to have Throne of the Four Winds “remastered” to the Classic style. You could just look at the raid entrance up in the sky, since you know, you wouldn’t be able to fly up to it. Amazing content.

[Gimm-caelestrasz]

you wouldn’t be able to fly up to it.

I’m puzzled as to why they never put their GM islands in the sky in the same manner.

[Matcauthon-steamwheedle-cartel (Matcauthon)]

yeah…i’m gonna have to agree with others here. no thanks.

[Morehwine-wyrmrest-accord (Morehwine)]

The same dev team that gave us “I AM MY SCARS!”

I, uh… I liked that storyline.

Post locks after 30 days inactivity to prevent necro.
I’m aware. I didn’t bother checking, but it still counts for the originality check so here is another bunch that isn’t as old and contains more in-depth ideas on similar matters:

Completely off the wall suggestion

I realize #nochange is the main concern this post is 100% brainstorming than suggestion really. Let’s just say blizzards plan is to reset servers to make them FRESH so it isn’t a static state forever. Please keep in mind this is a hypothetical so let’s just imagine for a second. What if… they made a system with the server reset that works like this. They make some sort of character ‘save state’ before the release of each ‘stage’ of WoW. So let’s say it is classic stage 1 and you just levele…

OK..So.... Will classic really be static?

Even back in the day they were doing bug fixes, patches with new content(new bg’s, raid content and the like). I almost find it implausible that they will not keep it static as of 1.12. Time will tell. They might not add content but will they be spinning cycles on bug fixing or… Are they going to release it as it, never any upgrades to the servers, bugs or content and let it ride till it dies?

Two questions about game direction

Do you think WOW could survive today with all the new content, but with systems and game design consistent with Vanilla? By this I mean if we took the identity of Vanilla, with slow, linear character progression-Slow incremental gearing-Heavily reliant on group activity-Challenging content every step of the way-systems that allow players to play how they want rather than doing a little of everything…if we put all that in place and just released new content (zones, instances, classes, etc) eve…

Classic wow future updates

so obviously theres an analog of wows current situation in runescape which im sure youve already heard about. they were hugely successful, then updated there game, kept growing, but then made some changes people didnt like or those people grew up or whatever, and there playerbase tanked over time… and now they release “old school runescape” which is just runescape from 2007. so far so good right? well… its interesting because at the time everyone thought it would just be a fad or some little sid…

Sorta Kinda like the No Changes

Nobody is ever going to bring up flying, LFR, or anything that would destroy what Vanilla is. That is gross hyperbole spread by the various “#NoChange” groups. What we want instead is stuff like class/talent changes, QoL changes to make some classes more interesting play, bringing the non-homogenized Melee Hunter back, as well as take Vanilla into direction it originally should have gone, should no expansions have happened. So stuff like: QoL changes: make some classes more interesting to p…

Vanilla or Burning Crusade?

I started at the very end of Wrath, so I never got to play the early game/expansions. Do you think BC or vanilla is better? Personally I hope they eventually have all the expansions on “classic” with progression rotation servers where you can jump from one to the next after a “season.” Anyway, it seems to me like BC “fixed” a lot of the problems with Vanilla and added loads of awesome new content.

Where does it go?

Just an interested question. Once classic is released where does it go from there? Do they extend it the same as WoW, using the same expansions etc? Does it get extended with new expansions different than WoW got? Either way it no longer seems “Classic”. Or does it stagnate as a forever classic until everyone gets bored with nothing new?

[Kessiaanjr-blackhand]

If Classic is successful I think we’re a lot more likely to see each expansion getting its own server, perhaps in a progressive format where you could bring in your Classic characters as well as roll new ones.

I’d love to see completely rebalanced expansions that keep the level cap at 60 but I can’t see Blizzard doing that unless they make WoW moddable on the server side which would be completely unprecedented for them.
