I am not going anywhere, that was in response to the dude saying that it is losing subs because of phase 2…but I guess reading the hole thing to get the context of it all is a bit to hard.

So what is the plan?
…or to reveal any changes they plan on making…

Blizzard already created their “fix” for this problem. It is called “war mode”. You can turn off world PVP when you want to level, then turn it on when you want to PVP. Isn’t that a perfect fix?

But that fix is in BFA. It was not back in Vanilla. By choosing Classic, players are choosing a “before all the fixes” version of WoW. That was widely advertised. I am sure that no player thought Classic was a “brand new game”.

So the plan is that there is no plan. Vanilla wasn’t perfect, so Classic is not either.

Actually that existed in classic. They are called normal servers. You turn war mode on by typing /pvp and then you turn it off in a friendly area by typing the same.

Blizzard took away choice in BFA with war mode as there are no longer pvp servers where everyone is force flagged on contested areas.

So the OP is welcome to roll on a normal server (that is Blizzards term for a PVE server) and then he can opt in and out of pvp.

so you want the game to die?

must be a private server player - this mentality is toxic for the health of the game.

Everyone including the mice in their pockets knew there would be a large number of players leaving after a couple months. The entire point of the pop levels as they are is in light of that.

If players don’t want to play, that is going to expectations. Changing classic to artificially retain those players would be an extreme blow to the entire point of the project.

There are no downsides to a significant decreasing of subscriptions? Hmmm…

I don’t really monitor the forums, I’ve just been here to see what people’s reactions are to phase 2.

I was wondering, apart from the official statement regarding BGs being released early (good!!), has Blizz said anything about all the outrage/feedback regarding phase 2? Seems strange to not have a statement telling people to ‘toughen up’ or to reveal any changes they plan on making (unless they have… and I missed it)

There is nothing to “fix” about the outrage.

This is how vanilla was, except this time around players are a lot smarter about how it works and no-life more so Blizz is accelerating the release schedule.
