Skill Trees Please!

Please learn from the past 10 years of people leaving the game in droves due to (in major part) the pick an ability replacing actual skill trees. It dumbs the game down to the point its just boring. We don’t care about no changes, just make the expansion fun please. Give us the Cata skill trees updated. That would be great. The TWW skill trees would be fun as well. Just please don’t leave us in this no skill tree purgatory.

that aint happening considering theyd need to create them from scratch and then rebalance all the content

I very much dislike the talent changes in MoP. In fact, I quit the original game at MoP pre-patch because they were so bad. And in playing on the beta, leveling feels so very very bad because of them.

That being said, this IS classic WoW, and changing the entire talent system is not only COMPLETELY unreasonable and beyond the scope of what anyone could possibly expect, it it also goes against the spirit of Classic WoW. Maybe there will be a SoD: MoP where Blizard could play with such things, but this is not the place. Gotta take the good with the bad.

People did not quit WoW to any significant degree because of talent changes. You might have, but I promise you the game had way bigger issues for most people that made them stop playing

MoP talents are great. Way better than the false illusion of choice given by the talent trees of old.

It’s sad to see the vocal minority attempting to represent the silent majority. I did quit wow due to the lack of talents as it removed theory crafting from the game, and I was not alone. Most of the theory crafting community were left high and dry looking for a new game to theory craft in again. The same will happen in classic as well unless they are proactive and make a significant change.

I agree, you should stop posting

While I did quit as I was not a fan of the changes in OG MoP and still not a fan, i am not a fan either of how retail is now either. It is too much and I do not have the time to research every talent to understand it’s benefits or not. Tbh, what you are asking for is more time investment than Blizz is willing to give to classic. I’m surprised you haven’t figured it out or understand what you are asking for isn’t something they would ever consider. If they did what you are wanting, 1 we would get a delay in MoP coming out (I’m sure you are fine with it, but there is that nasty EU Law that would fine Blizzard for not releasing by last possible date they have stated) as it would take time to come up w/ a new talents or add a few talents to existing cata trees. Add in testing and we probably wouldn’t see it by the release date listed. 2nd, this isn’t make Classic better by reworking different systems. Yes, they have tweaked things, but this would require a massive overhaul of a talent and glyph system that would impact how players use their characters and require constant monitoring by Blizz dev’s. After how Cata has gone, that isn’t something they can do. They do their best, but they don’t have that kind of manpower or resources they can divert to keep an eye on MoP for any serious length of time. Lastly, before you make assumptions maybe you should spend time to see what all players want instead of thinking its one way or another. Multiple things are possible here and you think the silent majority want what you want. I am part of your silent majority, but I don’t want what you want. I just want to enjoy the game to the best of my ability with my guild. Talents are just one thing in this game, if you can’t find anything else to enjoy because the talents aren’t how you want then maybe WoW isn’t the game for you if you are unable to find any enjoyment in any other aspect of it.

Massive overhauls like this aren’t possible for classic which is a remaster with some minor changes. Most people coming to MoP are coming strictly to see the touted “peak of class design”. So hopefully small changes like allowing alts to fly at 85 can be implemented but skill trees aren’t being changed.
