Iâm fine with it being alongside the expansions, but the chances of Blizzard doing both are pretty much none, just doesnât make too much sense financially unless they first try classic+ and it fails.
If we get TBC or WotLK then Blizzard would most likely make an eventual classic+ be based off one of those versions instead of vanilla.
I think a lot of people hate the path WoW went and see this as a chance at a fresh start keeping with the RPG elements of Classic and not being diluted by the stuff and fluff that followed.
Edit: to some this is like a chance at WoW 2.
Iâve personally never like much of the stuff that followed Classic so I agree we shouldnât be holding our breath. Also, I donât trust Blizz to make anything Iâd want in a Classic+ even though I have expressed what it is.
Why? When BC came out in 2007, did Blizzard reset everyoneâs level to 1? No, they allow you to continue from your vanilla levelled Lv60.
Separte servers with copying allows players to experience going from 1-60 on vanilla and 60-70 on BC - or if they so wish, they can level from 1-70 on BC with BC talents and QoL changes.
I would like to see Classic as an alternate time line where community and world killing features donât happen. Like flying mounts, LFG, LFR, reputation grinds (unless for cosmetic), homogenized classes, and daily/emissary quests to name a few.
Any purist is an idiot, because the game will run out of content after Naxxramas comes out and is on farm. If you keep the game as is, itâll last maybe a year or two before people get bored and move on.
BC is already âtaintedâ though - e.g. linear dungeons.
I also donât think Classic BC will be as popular as Classic Vanilla.
I get what youâre saying but Iâm saying if C+ was a new server then everyone would start at 1. Thatâs all. Idk if you could transfer a level 60 to a new server when they rolled out for the precise reason of people being at a disadvantage but maybe you could/can.
For those of you who donât like the later expansions for whatever reason whether that be flying or what have you, the solution is simple. Itâs called donât play on those servers but donât be an @sshat and tell blizzard that they shouldnât make them just because you didnât like them. everybody should be allowed to play the expansion of their choice regardless of what anyone else likes or dislikes. So quit being salty about how x expansion had flying dailyâs class homogenisation LFG, etc. Just stay on classic or Classic+ and you wonât have an issue
Thatâs a good way to have Classic+ flop though. Not everyone will be interested in redoing 1-60 again so soon - having to relevel your professions.
Thatâs why I think itâs a bad choice. Blizzard will want to keep making money from classic, eventually theyâll have to do classic+ instead of making a straight line towards retail. Itâs better that they do that during vanilla rather than TBC or Wrath.
Thereâs also really just no way they develop classic vanilla+ AND TBC servers at the same time.
They probably can. BC servers is just porting old content.
What they probably canât do is develop Classic+ and retail expansions at the same time - both involve content creation.
Thatâs a neat idea and all but TBC/Wrath servers would separate the community and kill vanilla anyways.
I donât want to play on a vanilla where everyones already level 60 kitted out in naxx gear as itâs just not sustainable. Even games that âtotally receive no updatesâ like diablo 2 have resets where everyone starts over again to keep the game alive.
A lot of people also make the argument âBUT WUT WULD CLASSIC+ EVEN BE???â.
Thatâs not for any of us to decide. Thatâs for Blizzard to decide.
Anyone who thinks that âClassic+â support wonât absolutely, positively, 100% inflate to epic proportions even long before people clear all Vanilla content is just absolutely dumb.
You should all get used to the idea of Classic+ and learn to love it, because there is literally ZERO chance of it not happening.
Yeah, and I guess Iâm thinking too much into the game. Thereâs not much being 60 immediately vs being 60 in a month changes in this game.
In my mind I guess Iâm already thinking of my version of C+ which transferring a 60 would be huge in terms of gaining land and areas of interest for you and/or your guild.
I think if we saw a C+ it would be via transfer from Classic realm only and lvl 60 only. Otherwise you might have too many players just roll C+, skip regular Classic and not even experience what this whole thing was about. Not to mention theyâd learn the Vanilla game before heading into the expanded version.
A lot of Vanilla players donât like the catch up mechanics in the expacs so if you actually had to play the original before + then this would be 1 of the ways to do that.
You are so incredibly naive. Iâm going to be sure to bookmark this post so I can come back and tell you âI told you soâ after TBC and Wrath are re-released. You people donât even have enough of you to fill even ONE server, let alone multiples. The expansions however have the potential to have FAR more, whether you choose to believe it or not
Classic+ and the expansions are not mutually exclusive you turd. I just get the feeling you have no idea about whatâs going on.
TBC without flying is a extremely prominent request and that would be Classic+ as much as anything elseâŚ
Any re-release to the Classic branch with any sort of mechanical or design changes that make it different from its original incarnation is âClassic+â, which is why I said itâs not really for us to decide what it does or does not mean⌠Only whether we do or do not want it.
And anyone who thinks the vast majority of players will be against Classic+ by the time a few phases have rolled out is straight up delusional. Plain and simple.
Book mark this one too.
And what makes you think that Blizzard is going to want to spend the money time resources and man hours that itâs going to take to make your Oh so precious Classic+??? What youâre asking for is your own custom expansion. Since when has Blizzard ever made any kind of content that was community-driven?
They can literally just open a couple of âseasonalâ classic servers that rotate from start to naxx while also doing classic+ and everyones happy.
I guess youâre unaware of the massive influx of people Classic has brought in/back?
You have to spend money to make money and with the buzz around WoW Classic still going strong, you can safely bet your butthole that Acti-Blizzard is absolutely frothing at the mouth to monetize it and keep the subscription money flowing far into the future.
New content is the literal only way it continues to thrive.
If a massive slew of people are all asking for the same thing, that doesnât count as anyone asking for their own âCustom expansionâ
Iâm not asking for anything, Iâm telling you whatâs going to happen.
A massive slew of people huh? I donât think so. All of you classic+ supporters are simply trying to ride on the coattails of the people who asked for vanilla servers over the years and their success in getting Blizzard to give them what they wanted. Until you guys actually put in the work that they did and organize and put together a petition and have it signed by hundreds of thousands of players like they did, then youâre not getting Blizzardâs attention in the same manner. Last I checked people arenât able to see into the future. Youâre assuming an awful lot
Come to think of it, itâs possible to have Classic+ without new servers yet keep Classic unchanged.
Itâs going to require quite a bit of engineering work on Blizzardâs part though and itâs kind of convoluted.
