Please do not rush release phases

I think it’s pretty important that Blizzard doesn’t rush phases.

I’ll be disappointed if phase 2 isn’t at least three months away.

Rush to the end and raid or die was what caused the decline of retail. It’s important that we don’t pander to that mentality and move ahead before the average player (ie – people who don’t play 18 hours per day, stay online by getting people to press the space bar, exploit layering for rep etc – not saying any of that was illegal, but it speaks of how desperate these guys are to rush) has had a crack.

Phases should come out every 2-3 weeks or else game will be complete dead come December.

It honestly might need to be even faster. Herod (most popular realm) is feeling a little less active already even though it’s Saturday. Took me long time to get into a SFK group. I feel like that Rag kill really did numbers on the playerbase.

I think the phases should be 6-8 months apart, giving the game the longevity it deserves.

I just looked at his name, ignore him. He’s a troll.

That one seems a bit long. We really need to see where the playerbase rests, and Blizzard makes that decision ultimately.

“at least three months” between phases huh? Right, let’s see, that’s 6 months of MC and 6 months of BWL. If your goal is to kill classic, this is an excellent plan.

6 months would be ideal

Exactly. Phases need to come out faster, and more importantly big updates need to be pushed out in 6 months time.

Anything faster than that is a bit ridiculous for raid content. You need to give the playerbase time to digest the content, and more than just the hardcore players.

Phases should match the timing of Vanilla, or at least be close. Don’t want to wait? Tough- waiting was part of Vanilla. If people can’t stick around a few months between major releases, they can’t handle vanilla.

Not fast enough.

Phases should be 1 week apart. Once we get to the end of phase 6 all characters are deleted and the server resets.

After 3 resets blizzard closes for business so we can move on to the next game.

Gotta go fast

Raiders will never be satisfied. They are in game only to chew through “content.” When they are finished they complain or leave looking for something else. Meanwhile most of the player base is content to enjoy the pace and breadth of what WoW Classic has to offer us. I agree with the OP, let the raiders move on and leave the game to the rest of us.

Raiders are like 80% of the population. You’ll have a problem soon enough when the world is completely dead.

Get over it. Content phases will come fairly far apart. Doesn’t matter if it “feels dead”. We’re not back in 2004 anymore and that will never change.

People aren’t attached to WoW at the hip anymore.

Rushing content out won’t help anything, and that’s a terrible suggestion.

Nonsense. That was never the case. That mindset is what turned WoW into the tasteless pablum retail is today.

when i buy a 60 dollar game, i expect it to last me around 2 weeks. wow classic is a 15 dollar game so I’d like to see the phases released every 3-4 days.

So how does it feel to have already cleared MC and Onyxia?
