Season of Mastery Design Intentions, Part 2 of 2

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I am reading what your form poster saying No I’m the definition of someone that’s outspoken.

And yeah you’re right I do push for dual spec in tbc I know I’m not going to stop until I see a blue post confirming it’s not going to happen.

I find it humorous That you keep saying no one cares what I say and yet you keep responding to it you keep calling me a troll.

Yet I’m not the only person That is for class changes you’re right I would say it’s A5050 split.

4 and against And you’re right I do say that Because it’s a disappointment of what som Could have been and what it is ultimately.

Is a cash grab And desperation Not all som is And I’m not going to be playing it I’m going to still be plain tbcc.

And wrath When it comes out You seem to think that your opinion’s right because you disagree with me.

I’m a troll you say because I think that changes are good But at the very least I have an opinion and I said something.

aside from just sitting on my hands and thumbs and doing nothing

By all means, no one is saying you shouldn’t share your opinion bud. But there’s ways to do so that are respectful. Spamming threads isn’t. You won’t get anyone to listen to you.

I’m glad your playing TBC and Wrath. That seems to be up your alley. I’ll play those too. I recognize the strengths those games have and their weaknesses just like SoM.

There’s way to share constructive criticism of a game and there’s spamming. Try to tone it down. Write concise clearly written thoughts with rationale in one thread sharing your opinion and I’m sure Blizzard will pay attention.

Spamming “we want dual speck” aint’ it chief. That’s just obnoxious.

Please let us transfer to fresh TBC realms after the conclusion of SoM! This decision is just completely trashing the characters we have worked on for a year when there is content still to be devoured in TBC!

people that only played the game for 2 weeks shouldn’t have an opinion. that’s you Arielba, you played for 2 weeks and are the most vocal about things you know nothing about.

if we all roll aliiance then no one get PvP gear take that paladins!!!

This design intention is missing information about realm / population strategy.

Hopefully this can also be covered soon.

Additionally, please also allow the transfer to a TBC Classic realm so we can continue our journey.

Finally - a suggestion. When SoM ends for the season, do a cataclysmic type event (i.e. spawn raid bosses throughout the continents), just as a fun way to end it all

pretty sure they will do a seasonal TBC as well down the road.
If they do allow transfer to tbc. It should be to existing ones now not a fresh one.

92

“…you’ll have the option to permanently transfer your character to an existing Classic Era realm in your region.”

Mind clarifying if our current classic toons will ever have the chance to be on the same server as the SoM characters or not?

Well FFXIV just announced they’re postponing Endwalker until December 7, so that means you have more time now to balance right? :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Laziness? Their design intentions aren’t to homogenize classes. Go play tbc

OK one What’s the definition or where’s the line between spamming and trying to make a point.

Understand something When I make a post It’s not something I just do Willie Nelly I take time and effort to think about what I say.

And when I’m trying to make a point I have to explain it so it’s 1 of 2 things Either one they end up being books especially when we’re talking on the subject of possible class changes.

or changes in general Or two I make it too short And I don’t get my point across so either one.

People make fun of me and say well you’re spelling’s crap and you should you’re too dumb to even post on the forms And you’re not making a point you’re dessaying I want this.

Or two It’s a book and just Spam Is the reason I think and will still push for Duel speck in tbcc.

It’s because I see the good it will do And especially when people want to argue with me and give a well weak argument Which honestly a lot of times comes down to this wasn’t in the original game so it shouldn’t be in now.

And just want to attack me On a verbal level Yeah I’m going to be a little bit more hostile no granted.

I know my spelling and grammar is not the best but that doesn’t be my ideas are bad On top of that Depending what it is.

When people say I’m spamming Especially people have seen replied other comments.

In a very Hostile Way Then it kind of becomes a challenge like no I’m going to keep trying to push for this because I think and see the good it could do for the game.

I still say wrath talents and spells with 60 talent points it would be amazing And something completely different.

We’re not going to get that obviously but that doesn’t mean It was a bad idea Is and obviously arguments are subjective.

My point is I don’t just sit there making forem posts For my health here I do it because I care about the game It was my greatest wish.

To see som Be the start Is it possibly a new error for World of Warcraft not just classic with minor change.

On top of that this is something else I know The worst thing I can do if I want to push for a change is be silent.

Because like it or not Is whether it be good or bad attention it’s still attention Are the blizzard devs looking at what we post on the Forms Who knows but.

I would rather throw out ideas and push for things and be told no Then just Not try it all.

There are a lot of people that don’t like my suggestions but there are people that do As far as playing tbc/wath Is whenever classic wrath comes out.

Do I like tbc yes Does that mean I don’t see the cracks No it doesn’t at all just like I see the problems in wrath.

So yeah Whenever I try to push for something the 1st thing I ask myself is this How could this be a beer And is it overall better for the game.

If the pros out where the Then I push for it it’s just that simple so yeah

And with how toxic the players are, not fixing some specs whilst making raids harder is going to utterly kill any chance someone has of not being a meta slave

Maybe I have missed this somewhere, but one of the largest issues I saw with Classic is that it was already accelerated and caused countless loot issues. Sure, we spent more time in Naxx than in Vanilla, but overall, the game was shorter than Vanilla’s 2 year window.

I raided every week, and cleared content nearly every week with the exceptions of when new raid would open and it would take a week or 2 to sort out. However, at the end of Classic, I was still rolling gear from the beginning of the game. I mean I had a trinket from UBRS all the way until the end.

I would say, since you are shortening the game even more, and forcing 40 people through a bottleneck of a loot window, then maybe the loot tables need to be expanded heftily to support the short lifespan. Otherwise, there is going to be drama, and frankly, Classic was drowning in it compared to Vanilla and I think loot tables and timelines were to blame for that.

Actually there does not need to be a buff to the loot drops. The entire point of SoM is to make it harder, the scarcity of loot is one of their methods of doing so. You all wanted HARDMODE classic, why now do we need to make hardmode easier?

I can’t stress enough how big of mistake it is to not make changes to class / spec imbalance.

You guys should really listen to your community and make some of the changes that we’ve been asking for. People are so excited for the changes that you are making… but the changes that people are the most vocal about, you’re not changing.

We want dual spec… we want guild banks… we want a lower cap on respec costs… and SPEC VIABILITY.

It took you guys way too long to fix the black lotus problem. And people are praising you for fixing it now. It’s laughable. This was brought up to you before the original classic was launched. Exactly how you decided to fix it is what we suggested from the very beginning.

Season of Mastery is about mixing it up and trying things differently than the way we had it for classic. Do all the changes, and next season take out the ones that didn’t work. Your mumble jumble that you wrote above sounds like utter laziness to me.

There are so many people not playing this because their class or their spec is unviable.

Fix it. And stop justifying everything that you don’t change to “we want to stay true to our design philosophy“… and then you go and change things that are easy to implement.

I understand that you’re weary of listening to the community because they got you to a point where you decided to create a catastrophe that is now World of Warcraft.

However, you also have to have trust and know that your community knows the mistakes that were made and is trying to implement the best decisions that you’ve made as a company. Please reconsider.
