Opinion: Changes I'd like to see in Classic

We always seem to get one of you every week. Tell the truth, you are the same guy just with different toons. It’s funny how you guys all think you are so original and that we will all embrace your brilliant ideas.

Like, I am seriously curious how you show up THIS LATE to the party and expect that any of this stuff hasn’t been discussed?

Also how do you NOT check the search function to check to see if this conversation has been had before (Many times…oh GOD so many times)

Le sigh…oh well.

Short answer: NO Changes - kthanxbye

Well YOU don’t have to embrace a single thing by him, because you’re not Blizzard, and you’re not designing the game. If they decide they want to make some of these changes because so many people are vocal about it, tough, deal with it, because at the end of the day YOU ARE NOT BLIZZARD

For someone whose been playing for 15 years, you would think that you’d know the answer and opinion to this insurmountable, waste of time for a post.

As someone who has been playing for 15 years, you have 0 authority over anyone else. I even know people who have been playing since Cataclysm who advocate for purely the original experience. At no point did Blizzard ever say that WoW Classic is, will be or intended to be WoW+, additional content past Naxx, etc.

Your opinion of how things should be is irrational and not warranted, not once did Blizzard ever ask for our opinion on how Classic should be. Once you start down this path, it’s not much different than retail. Don’t like it? Don’t play it.

Let these “changes” posts die already.

TL;DR - No.

No layering, an earlier version of AV, and the Ivory Raptor.

ohhhh I get it. You don’'t want classic. Just the level cap reduced to 60. What is the point of going back to classic only to change things more modern again?

You will heal as a druid and paladin, and you will LIKE it.

I have bad news for you… the debuff cap in vanilla/classic was 16, not 40.

40man raids were never about individual play though, it was more about group organization and guild co-operation; everyone usually had to share and/or give something up to do it. Damage meters were a metric for the group to fix, not necessarily an individual. If you prefer personal responsibility then the 5-20man content will give much more of that.

Wow so many haters. I for one think some of those changes are reasonable and would not detriment too much from the authentic feel. Since we’re not getting an authentic Vanilla experience anyhow, some of these minor changes he proposed are not all that bad. Like pally taunt, oomkin, ah interface, auto loot w/ no shift key.

Auto-loot exists already. I’ve seen streamers using it in beta. I think he means AOE loot, which shouldn’t be in Classic (and won’t be).

This has been gone over till people are blue in the face, but I’ll try again. Adding pally taunt, just that one thing would change so much about Classic that it’s really difficult to think anyone that wants it understands what the project is about. The various Blizzard posts make it obvious they’re not going to change class balance. That covers oomkin as well.

Not sure why the interface should be changed since it can be changed with addons anyway.

Yes it’s in the beta I’ve tested it myself. I’m no streamer though AND I have beta access! WHAAaaAAaaATTt!? How is that even possible?

No. Keep classic classic, we like the game they way it was, BFA that way ---->

All of these are sensible requests.

All the changes that you’ve missed mentioned are completely fine however As far as the class changes go just give us wrath classes and I think we’d be golden.

It literally fixes everybody Everybody is finished and We wouldn’t be as strong as we would be in wrath if they only gave us 60 talent points instead of 71.

So just give us talent points from level one and severable 10 and were good.

As far as everything else yeah I don’t see a single problem with anything you mentioned

Well two years later, a few things actually made it to this new seasonal. It would be amazing if they did touch up a few class talents, however I don’t think those are the changes that will be even considered.

Ideally, they should adjust the length of phases.

Besides the changes already announced. I see possibly

  1. More loot drops
  2. G banks
  3. Curb stomping boosting (Already hinted at)
  4. higher gold drop rates
  5. 3rd style AH, think fencer like.

I would like to see Pal and Dru get some talent love and a spell/skill or two. I wouldn’t hold my breathe on this though.

Also all the people that clapped for no changes ever, heh that aged well!!!

Who would force you to play classic+?

Let’s be real, you just dont want other players to enjoy something right? Because it goes against your purity view of the game.

I’d like to see everything in the crusade patch.

The Burning Crusade solves most of the problems OP is looking to address. While I agree with you, these are good changes, they just won’t sit well with people who like Classic for what it was.

Your best bet would be to assemble a level 60 twink guild in TBC Classic.
