Old AV in retail but not in Classic?

[Daimonas-fizzcrank (Daimonas)]

While the old AV is coming to retail, why not bring it to Classic?

[Goldshire-rattlegore]

BGs come later in classic.

[Daimonas-fizzcrank (Daimonas)]

But AV on Classic is said to be the 1.12 version. So why is retail getting more NOCHANGES than Classic?

[Nightime-bigglesworth]

Because Blizzard.

The best we can hope for is that they changed their mind, and that the retail AV event is a test for bringing old AV to Classic.

As of right now, we do not even have BGs at all yet.

it would be a change if they gave us AV that isn’t 1.12 we are playing 1.12 like it or not.

What are you talking about? At least provide a link to whatever it is you are talking about if you hope to have some kind of discussion on a subject.

Ahh yeah… the days of logging out of AV, then entering that same AV when you get back in hours later…

Who doesn’t miss that? I always thought it was funny, and enjoyed when it would happen…

Alterac Valley in Classic

This is a subject that has been asked about several times recently, and we want to clarify some of the details surrounding it. Like many aspects of the game, Alterac Valley was tuned and adjusted in different ways from patch to patch in 2005-2006. First and foremost, we’re planning to use the 1.12 version of Alterac Valley. For many parts of the game like this, we’re picking an original WoW patch that gives us the most clarity for WoW: Classic, and 1.12 is that patch. In Alterac Valley, that p…

You do know it’s different OP yes?

While I appreciate the reply, I was talking about the OP’s assertion that “old AV is coming to retail”. I have no clue what he is referring to.

yeah, like new classes and new balance and stuff.

They’re not changing their mind. They’ve said 1.12 several times. They even printed version 1.12 AV on the press kit Collector’s Edition of Classic.

As far as the thread of the topic…it’s a sore spot with me. Obviously Blizz has the ability to recreate the good version of AV (1.5-1.7), but chose 1.12 because in their words before that the npcs were too difficult. It’s a terrible decision. So Classic gets literally the easiest zergable AV in the history of the game. Such a waste.
