I think many would really opt for a patch to patch release authentic to the timeline, but know that’s really not possible. With the 1.12 framework #nochanges is inherently flawed but Blizzard is doing the best they can with some type of phased release for some content
I just find it deliciously ironic being able to say #nochanges whenever someone who pretended to be no changes asks for a pre 1.12 change.
Don’t get me wrong you want certain changes to 1.12 and so do I and I would be happy to trade say 1.5 AV for better class balance. But until then #nochanges, accept no pretenders, 1.12 as is.
I like catering to casuals and I think this sounds like a bad idea. More rank 14’s per week? Maybe? Everyone can eventually be rank 14 after 400 hours of PvP? No thank you!
Mixing various versions of vanilla isn’t authentic.
Once again the simple question is, did that combination every exist in vanilla? IF no then it’s not authentic.
If you’re talking about what in your opinion makes classic feel more authentic to you great, but then that’s just an opinion and everyone will have a different one.
Patch by patch progression would indeed be authentic, we’re not getting that. We know we’re not getting that. We know we’re getting authentic 1.12, trying to change 1.12 is not authentic.
Probably because you routinely post specific changes to 1.12 and not asking for progressive patches.
If you want progressive patches great, keep preaching that. As soon as you as for “1.12 but can we just change this one thing”, which you do advocate doing, you are asking for changes.
Except he hasn’t all he’s done is proof that what I want is authentic. not what he wants
The reason why I fight for changes to 1.12 is because all they advertise it as the base of the game not the end-all-be-all and frankly I know getting past regression is unrealistic so I will fight for what I can get
Right so you want changes to what would actually be an authentic 1.12 vanilla experience. It really doesn’t matter why, you want to change an authentic experience into something that never existed in vanilla, you know just like everyone else who wants changes.
Asking for a version of anything that occurred within vanilla falls within #nochanges. 15 man UBRS? Sure. 1.1 classes? Sure, not that many would want it. 16 debuffs? Just fine and dandy. This is Frankenpatch, and it fits #nochanges even though it’s not authentic. Because anything except true patch progression is going to be varying degrees of inauthentic from Vanilla.
