Please reconsider your stance on retail/classic reward linking

I’m on board with a classic collectors edition either way, but you bought a ce for vanilla.

As has been pointed out we are supposed to treat them like seperate games.

Has also been pointed out that your FLAGGED account is what you need to play Classic.

So, either we get the CE pets or there’s a Classic CE. No CE pets/Murky is not an “authentic experience”.

Do you realize the amount of coding that would need to be done to link the two games in such a way? Sorry. I’d rather them deliver classic on time then put in the necessary code so you can get your pet.

I’m a software engineer, so here’s my answer: hardly any.

I mean, what do you think is hard about it?

if(account.ceflag == true)
{
CEpets()
}

It would require more then that. Your talking about linking two difference caches together. Not just an account level flag. But nice try.

Why do you think it would take more than that? Classic knows your account info, so if your account is flagged it should know that, too.

And what are “two caches”? Classic has the original 1.12 database.

Because they are two separate databases.
Classic may know your account info but your literally linking two different games together.

It’s not as cut and dry as you think.

No, you’re not. You’re really not. You’re using the account to access Classic, so Classic knows this.

And yes, it is as cut and dry as I think because I’ve been doing this forever.

Do you do any engineering at all?

BTW: if you think that you can’t “link two games together”, explain how WoW CEs flag items for your ACCOUNT in Overatch, HotS, and Diablo.

I’ll wait…

I see the cherry picker has returned.

Did you miss the rest of that post:

or did you simply choose to ignore it since it does not with with your agenda?

Did you completely miss this later post in which that same blue responds directly to you and your continued posting of that cherry picked snippet:

Or did you simply choose to ignore that entire post since it did not fit with your agenda?

Funny how you say “the cherry picker has returned”, and cherry pick to fit your agenda.

What did I cherry pick? I quoted the entire posts, including the snippet that you chose to cherry pick.

Your past posts are FILLED with only quoting the top half.

I usually try to quote the entire post, so it doesn’t appear that I am cheery picking, but I guess it is possible that I might have missed some.

Perhaps you could provide some quotes of some of those posts.

Says the guy who hides his profile.

What does that have to do with cherry picking?

Or your ability to provide quotes of my posts?

You wouldn’t possibly deliberately lie about someone “cherry picking” and then try to deflect by bringing up something entirely unrelated when asked to provide proof to back up your accusations, would you?

Guy asks to check his history, then hides history.

Then guy says “err…what? It’s your fault you don’t have the links”.

Does my profile being hidden prevent you from reading or quoting my past posts?

Or is it simply that you were deliberately lying about me “cherry picking” and you cannot provide any quotes of me “cherry picking” only the top half of those posts?

Its flagged through battle net. Which is different. Its not “linked” but on battle net the registry of certain achievements and the like “unlock” and flag the account for the loot reward in a different game.

It wouldnt NOT be hard at all to implement the CE pets into classic. Its already there…

NOW. We go back to

CLASSIC and BFA will be two completely separate entities and thus should not be though of as “linked” or the “same game” because they really are not.

Now. You have the CE on live, yes? You got those pets during Vanilla for which you paid for the CE yes? Well… Then you have that reward. That you got, 14 years ago… its not gone and magically doesnt disappear.

While the CE pets were a gameplay experience for YOU, and me, and others who bought the CE pets they are NOT part of the integral systems and functioning of the game which i would assume to be their focus on what to emulate.

Starman, we’ve already had Ys confirm that he would speak about it, perhaps bring it up and work on getting something laid out to get back to us but TOLD US TO NOT HOLD OUR BREATH. But HONESTLY. 100%. Even with the CE when WoW first came out it wasnt that big of a part of Vanilla. It was a talking piece, nothing more and nothing less.

It was part of a PITTANCE’S of people’s play experience and while you remember it fondly, is not an integral aspect to Classic and thus need to stop trying to force your way through the topic and let it be for a while. Bring it up in a few months and see if Ys has a better answer for you then. But right now? Give it a rest please.

You’ve gained your inch Star, stop trying to make it a mile.

I would support a Classic CE as well, but that is not enough for some people, it seems.

As would I. Let people show their support for Classic with a CE. But it has nothing to do with a CE that people bought for a different game. A game where they still have access to those rewards.
