As the title says, this is just a set of personal ideas I think would make the game better
BoP should be reserved only for quest reward items. So much cool stuff is BoP but unusable by characters and I’d love to send those to other toons for unlocks and the like instead of, praying, I get it to drop on that other toon.
Legacy content for max level characters should only have a DAILY lock out, not a Weekly lock out. Even staggering this as a ‘current and immediately prior expansion’ as retaining weekly lockouts, that would be fine in my opinion.
Crafted items/materials shouldn’t have a Daily or Weekly option lock out, all that does is put even more ‘wait time’ on people so they are encouraged to not play the game how they wish too.
This one’s controversial, but I think that ‘FOMO’ end of expac cycle content should only be locked for the next expansion, and when the expansion after comes the achievement on the OG people should be changed to Legacy so that content can be restored so people have more options on things to do instead of getting ‘blue balled’ on things they wanna try but weren’t around for (this especially applies to people who are new, military, or people that were majorly affected during the 08 housing crisis or personal tragedies that kept them from playing for extended periods)
More Race/Class combos. Main examples for this would be specific to druids in the form of Pandaren Druids and Mechagnome/Vulpera druids so we finally get smol druids. My rationale from this: Pandaren canonically can turn them selves into trees when they die and still project a spirit from that, so it makes sense. Mechagnome are the result of trying to roll back the curse of flesh so could be turning into mechano versions of creatures as though they weren’t corrupted, and lastly Vulpera live in the harshest area, living off the land and in good balance with it so as to not cut off their access to needed supplies meaning they’d be more scavengery forms. And for the love of god, give all races unique models to use not just KT/Zand druids (also, keep the player model, non transformed ears/horns/tusks onto the transformed model!)
Drop rates on desirable things need to be SERIOUSLY adjusted, the only way to farm for things as it stands is alt army playstyle which, many players, do not like, but are forced to do in order to get things they want for rp/cosmetic purposes. Case and point, I’ve, account wide, easily 3k kills on galleon and have yet to get the mount from it, which is, the most reasonably acquirable mushan beast at this point (one is a gladiator from mop only, and the other requires bloodied coins on timeless which requires timeless pvp which…nuff said there)
Stop trying to force Mythic/Raid content, it’s very much not for every one, and just like with pvp, if you tune everything around that you end up hurting other aspects of the game, some people like a chill experience with games cause they wanna relax and have fun, time trials like mythic+ and many raid boss mechanics, aren’t relaxing and not fun for many folks
Instanced player housing as optional content. This one is another thing that causes people to grip but, let us build up an instanced area within existing zones. This could be used as a new gold sync and could even allow Twilight bark or the vendor woods to actually be useful for once! This would also allow for more RP options or just ‘guild hang out’ type things when people just, wanna hang out and be social. I would say allow crafting/storage/mail but no AH/Barber/Transmog options or the like
New expansion capitol AH should be available to all players, not just the engineers. I can’t tell you how annoying it is to have to go back to Org or my garrison or the like every dang time I need to list stuff to clear space in my ‘to auction’ bag
Change Void Storage to be for white/gray items, not only soul bound items. Many Gray or White items actually have nice looks for t-mog but can’t be used for such, and with the new appearance collection void storage is basically useless. This small change would give it use, and allow for more t-mog options cause honestly, there is just WAY to much going on with freakin’ everything now armor and weapon wise, and honestly, sometimes less is more for looks!
and finally…
Stop with the borrowed power every expansion, as well as all the new ‘gated grind’ currencies that are only good/valid for the one expansion!
-Edit-
I also forgot something: Stop spamming us with loss of control/extended loss of control from pve content, it’s not fun, it doesn’t feel good, and many times you’ve got 3 mobs doing it and only one, 15 second, interupt cooldown, and the 4 second lock out isn’t actually applied to pve mobs (i’ve interupted a thing and had it cast on me again in 3 seconds, not 4, small nit pick but, considering they can lock us out for 10+ in some instances…yean, no bueno)
And junk items should stack to 1k in bags, cause honestly, doing classic dungeons is filling up my bags so quick with the stack to 20 junk items it’s not funny
On the topic, you should ALWAYS duo your transmog runs. It makes it so that whatever you get, you can use it. As opposed to getting everything on the loot table when you solo.
Crafted I don’t care. The only thing I want is to removed vendor only stuff. Make it farmable.
Definitely remove fomo.
More druids or shaman will not happen overnight. It takes time to design new forms. Some class/race combo should never exist. Others… meh. I already have all the alts I want.
Drop rates, I dunno what they can do. But getting 1 item in a whole 10 bosses raid whilst another one in your party gets 4, should never be a thing. It sucks. (I just had that happen on my rogue, and the one thing that dropped was on my 3rd highest slot that I already had…)
Borrowed has a reason to exist even though it’s bad. It has flavor, it makes it so they don’t have to prune all the time, easier to balance, etc etc.
ActiBlizz must accept responsibility for their negligence and complicity in the matter of the harassment and discrimination that has been going on for over a decade within their company.
All victims must be adequately compensated for the abuse they suffered, as well as the family of the woman that was harassed to the point she committed suicide.
Terminate the employment of any and all employees that were a part of the harassment/discrimination.
Move all current developers to other projects.
Hire all new developers for WoW(repeat this step as necessary until you actually get some people with real talent)
Make a game that your customers actually like to play.
Fair points on some of this. With crafted: it takes over a month to make some items from MoP/WoD just because of daily lock outs.
Duo in runs: I don’t really multibox and tend to do legacy content runs like that while working as a ‘relax’ since I do alot of silk glove customer service things
I get that on druids not over night, same with shamans, but Druids are always in animal forms, and, unless you are KT/Zand your basically the same as other druids which kinda sucks, especially with how ugly some of the druid models still are
Drop rates should never be lower than 1% on things with a daily lock out, let alone a weekly lock out, you shouldn’t have to take YEARS or real life time to get something in a game. Super low drop rates on inf farmable is fine, daily lock out should be no less than 1%, weekly lock out should have a 30% chance WITH Bad Luck Protection, this ensures you can either endlesly try, or, if not, it will still be obtainable within a 3mo period which is honestly quite reasonable.
Borrowed would be okay, if it wasn’t completely stripped away and the like, doubly so with chromie time as a thing, just make it so that it doesn’t really work in areas beyond where it was borrowed from at that point, aka how the Heart of Azeroth still works on Azeroth as do the Azurite powers, but they DON’T work in the Shadowlands
-Edit-
Also love this ‘semper fi’ troll going into every thread to push an out of game business thing narative in every damn topic he can
There’s a purpose to stripping it. Do you see yourself farming previous expansion to acquire mandatory powers for next? It’s okay for long time players, but not for newer, or even alts that you just started.
No, but it could be handled better as an optional power thing to get some fun things when doing that specific content, like, lets say you are doing chromie time through Shadowlands in the future, being able to still get those unlocks and such would be nice to help bolster you in that content, no?
That I agree with. Or legion timewalking, re-activating artifacts. Would give a nice bonus to anyone that put in the work. There’s a lot of items that have the can’t be used over level X, just expand that to everything.
Other idea, though it would be more difficult, would be to leave the items untouched in any areas not after where they came from. Let me do Suramar with artifacts. It was designed with artifacts in mind.
I would like to see hunter pets circling their prey, instead of standing still in front of them. One time I saw exactly that in a raid, a few wolves were running around a boss and it looked sick.
One way would be to stop throwing away the baby with the bath water every expansion, and stick to a singular design theme for the expac in question, they did that with mop/wod/legion and those were all pretty good (legion was butts for resto sham cause core kit options before that were locked to pvp only) Honestly I think alot of the WoD hate was cause it was ‘vogue’ to do so, but like, alot of fun things they keep when going forward CAME TO BE in WoD, like separate difficulty lockouts for raids
Speaking of, could we please stop with the pvp only powers that are so intrinsic to non-pvp people feel like they HAVE to use warmode? Seriously, pvp talents should only affect pvp and not have such a major impact on pve people feel like they aren’t as good at pve with warmode off!
Some of them are better for pve than pvp, like surv hunter bandages, 45 sec cooldown, interrupted by damage channel for heal over time during the channel
Another improvement would be IN GAME bug reporting instead of that laggy link over to tell us to go to the forums/website to report bugs. Seriously, if it’s a location specific bug like some of the ‘stuck and need to recall’ spots in the maw or other areas, we should report in game so you can see the exact spot causing the issue!
