Shadowlands Benched for TBC

Hmm, if that’s the situation…so on the organization chart, is the Classic lead on the same level as the Retail game director?

It’s a different team

We just had a mini patch

Is this your first expansion?

Don’t worry, it will be ok.

While this may be true, we are still months behind content schedule already for retail, and selling us a half baked expansion only to divert attention in the middle of a community breakdown???

It’s like the EMT from the Ambulance you called showing up and then seeing an old friend across the street, leaving you there to bleed out while he catches up with one of his old cow tipping buddies.

Feelsbadman.

But I feel you…

Idk, but I plan on taking that level 58 boost, and at least doing the Nagrand quest zone. Was not much of a fan of TBC overall, but Outland Nagrand is one of the best quest leveling zones in the game imo. Doubt I will play classic TBC after that though.

Isn’t Outland Nagrand as a leveling zone largely the same on both versions?

Some nerfs aside ofc.

Yeah pretty much. More nostalgia thing for me I guess.

The “all” option when toggling addons has been broken since launch, if not prepatch. They can’t even be bothered to work on that. Let’s not even start on monks…

Classic is killing it right now. My server is packed.

Mine isn’t =( been sitting on some decent BoEs that aren’t selling, even at steeply discounted prices. What server are you on?

Alright guys.

With all of the opinions, passions, agreements and arguments here, I haven’t seen many solutions to alot of the problems yet.

I proposed a whole slew of solutions here…

Tell me what you think.

TL:DR = I love you all deep down. I really do. I miss the days when we used to enjoy the game together… I really do…

What made questing fun in Outland was the intermittent wpvp. In retail Outland, you don’t see pvp over the zone buffs in Hellfire or Zangermarsh. Especially in Zangermarsh where the buffs applied to Serpentshrine. You definitely don’t see massive battles at Halaa (precursor to Wintergrasp but with flying!!!).

And Kara attunement and rep requirements for heroics don’t exist in retail Outland.

Definitely more group oriented by necessity but in a fun environment. It didn’t feel as grindy back then. Guess it was relative to vanilla and that we all were young and d***.

Lol what? Tbc is a copy and paste from old content with its own team. The impact on SL is non existent.

If you really want to get upset about something how about Bobby’s bonus? Maybe they could hire a few more people and focus more on fun in the game than insane grinds.

Oh did you have that video of you going on site and them personally showing you how they are the first and only software development company in the world to use software developers for only one product even though it’s the most economically inefficient thing imaginable in the world with rising developer costs yet somehow Actiblizzard is literally becoming the most cost-cutting gaming company known to man even amidst a global pandemic?

Or were you just assuming things based on your experiences watching television and restoring your computer to a restore point after you accidentally deleted the windows folder to make space for more jpg pictures?

I mean they described what went into classic. They have a whole dev lead for it that doesn’t go anywhere near SL.

But by all means keep being angry at big evil tbc :rofl:

Don’t blame shadowlands failings on wow classic and TBC. The game sucks due to developers overall mentality and design decisions , not due to classic or tbc.

Also regarding resources. The amount of money this company generates shouldn’t create a problem in handling different versions of game

After people complaining about the timing of SL release and a patch for Classic I can see TBC Classic impacting the release dates of retail patches… you known just to spread things out and trying not to split the player base too much.

You mean the version that more than doubled subs?

No, I mean the version that “doubled subs” and also dropped down to BFA levels in 3 months meaning that the decline was “double” as bad to get to the same point in a relative timeline to previous expacs.

Nice try shill bot.
