Please dont give us heaps of new runes, (i actually think the games in a perfect place with just these runes, i honestly dont even think we need any more at 40 because we will all get our ultimate ability from each tree)
Please make people mark hard choices between good things, thats what makes it fulfilling, we think we want every thing, but every thing is boring
Please dont Give us flying mounts, leave things hard, and let things take time and effort, its actually what gives you the reward cemicals.
One of my guildies is convinced that we’re only getting 9 runes total. So 3 to start with because 25 is so low level. Then 2 more at 40, 50, and 60 because we’ll have more abilities and talents at those level bands.
I think 9 total would probably be a good compromise between too little and too many, to be honest.
The datamined info says we get at least these runes:
Cloak
Feet
Helm
Waist
Shoulder
At least. Probably more. There was a rogue weapon which gave a rogue rune they already have so they would get an extra rune slot on the weapon which would free up one of their existing slots so they could pick something else.
It’s going to be a cluster.
There is even a rune-carving trade skill in the data mining.
I think it’d be nice if runes just stopped working past the max-level for when they were introduced. So, the runes we have now just stop working past level 25, though that’d be kind of trolling people like me who got all runes for all my max-level toons, even though I haven’t ever used some of them, like Lone Wolf, but still…
Anyway, then we’d end up with all these new phases while leveling, but pretty normal level 60 Vanilla Classic Era.
Okay I have to ask, what the F is with the emoji. You use it on every single comment, so it’s essentially pointless. Do you use it as punctuation? Are you trying to be extra and show how much you don’t care? The frequency with which you use it has made the implied meaning of the emoji moot. What are we supposed to glean from an “expressionless” emoji when you use it on emotionally or verbally charged comments just the same as simple comments? My comment here may seem rude or whatever, but I am genuinely lost. I don’t think you know how emoji are supposed to be used. At least, not that one.
Err, this would literally re-destroy several specs that were never viable in Classic but are now viable in SoD lmao.
If they deleted all of the lvl 25 Paladin Runes for instance, Ret suddenly becomes unplayable again. And it’s not like they can make us playable with a different set of runes at 40, because they already gave us Crusader Strike and Divine Storm, two of the most iconic Ret Abilities in all of WoW.
There are multiple classes/specs that rely upon the runes Blizzard introduced in SoD to be able to even exist in the endgame so bouncing from rune set to rune set with each level band doesn’t really work for all of us that are playing classes and specs like that.
I don’t think there’s a single class that relies on runes to exist or be viable. Class is a different word from specialization.
But yeah, you’re right that such a massive change would be pretty unlikely. I’m having fun so far with SoD, and am looking forward to what is to come, but I too share the concerns that the OP has with our characters being far too overpowered already at level 25 with the runes we have.
Who knows though, maybe it’ll just be even more fun going forward!
Unlike you, I want Blizz to unleash creativity and have fun with it.
You say that while running what ever cookie cutter talent tree and gear someone else tells you to do.
No, we want something new.
That would be fun! I can only imagine how they could make PvP in the sky a thing.
Time and effort are at the hands of the bearer. Given the nature of the internet, everyone will find the fastest path. Those that do not will simply be left behind. I’m guessing that you meant “chemicals” which are: dopamine (the main one for your argument), serotonin (affects muscles and mood) , endorphin (your stress reliever but why does anyone need that when the game is “fun”), and oxytocin (if you get your rocks off playing a video game).
Be curious to see what happens to characters once we reach the end of this year going into 2025. Also the new raid is Gnomergan ain’t also the new battleground going to be arathi highland’s.
