no one said they couldn’t do it, the problem is they dont actually have it

i dont think phoning it in is a fair assessment, it would be a massive project

You need to see this from a developer standpoint. Their main proiority is finishing the dungeons and raids for launch. They don’t have definite plans for the first patch because they’re still working on the main game

I am saying if they simply go with 1.12 it would be akin to phoning it in. Again, they have one shot to do classic right. IMHO it is worth the effort.

I need to do nothing of the sort. I look at it as a prior and potential future customer. They should have already made decisions like this within the past year. A roadmap should have been the first thing they created, along with the design philosophy and game element version targets. Want me to put up a monthly cost commensurate with a constantly developed AAA MMORPG?
EARN IT.

It would be akin to redoing an instance -easier in fact, because there’s videos out there chronicling all of the changes to AV in astonishing depth.

It would be one of the easier undertakings I think.

its not comparable to a dungeon, AV is a coding nightmare

they did talk about this in a forum post at some point, i think it was during mop

Imagine being this wrong. Just imagine it. I don’t know if I can, actually. It takes effort to be this wrong.

Spawn times, hit points etc? From a 1.x standpoint it’s the same thing.

From a later version where they had physically changed the map (which is what you’re referring to) yes it’s be rough. But given the current discussion its incredibly easy.

It took them how long to change the large map to the narrow map and how long to move things like the horde entrance tunnel? I somewhat think that moving things around and changing the terrain were not such a monumental effort. After all it is an instance, not the open world.

I agree 100%

weekly reminder to you that they can’t hold a press conference for every thing once a week
 expect more details closer to a beta release.

Early AV or bust, imo
 I have zero interest or intention of bothering with a watered down 1.12 version that’s nearly the same as live av, which everyone I’ve ever met blacklisted.

Gack.

Okay, I’ll see it from a developer standpoint.

My inner developer says, “Please stop ‘defending’ me with ‘they outright don’t care about most of the game’!”

did the other 2 change much in vanilla? Wsg and AB?

Nah, I don’t think so. In fact, I think they’re basically the same now, 12+ years later.

A couple of minor tweaks in Vanilla, but nothing substantial at all.

Good to hear they’re the same so long later!

Well, there was a preview shown at Blizzcon showing them revamping AB and WSG for a future patch. It might just be graphical updates but I’m not sure.

Yeah graphical for retail.

Because 1.12 is being used as the BASE of the game.

If it was strictly 1.12 why are we getting batch releases of content and aq event?
