Suggestion: Classic (HC) QoL Improvements

Suggesting a list of things to improve Classic (HC) without ruining the spirit and challenge of Classic:

  • Guild Banks
  • NPCs on the Boats/Zeppelins (immersion)
  • Target Dummies in the capital cities
  • Purchasable Multi Spec for Talents (requires 60?)
  • Barber Shop (not Xmog, just Barber)
  • Achievements for Vanilla objectives + HC only Feats of Strength such as SSF for HC

These are all nopes.

Where’s my flying sparkle pony and WoW tokens?

To be fair NPCs on boats be a nice touch, really doesn’t effect anything.

That’s a nope.

Only this and only if they can port you to the destination if you choose.

And remove the possibility of staying mounted aboard ships!

I wouldn’t mind changing up my hairstyle occasionally. Pink for valentines, green for St. pattys. Etc.

Yes, please.

I have no preference on this.

Not needed, but would be helpful for people to safely learn their class. I wouldn’t be against this.

No.

No.

The achievement is hitting 60, without dying. no.

Guild banks would be nice. Without the bank, a guild is just a group of people sharing a chat channel and pretending ranks matter.

Adding in training dummies in major cities is solid as well. There’s no reason not to add them.

I don’t see a benefit to the other items and the multi-spec eats away the classic part of hardcore. Respecccing is an option and maintains the feel of classic.

Found the guy who doesn’t understand community.

Any quality of life improvements will be frowned upon by the gatekeepers on this forum. However, after the QOL improvements make it to the game, the gatekeepers will be quiet. A prime example is RDF for wrath of the lich king. The gatekeepers claimed everything bad will happen with RDF, that RDF was a Cataclysm feature, groups will no longer be allowed, everyone will quit, and RDF will never be in Wrath Classic. Their predictions were all wrong.

Boats are a maybe for me. Maybe even the Night Elf boats near Teldrassil and Feralas being replaced by the Burning Crusade models?

Target Dummys to test DPS on in capital is is a maybe for me.

The rest would be definite no’s for me.

In general we should oppose changes because we already have a version with all the changes (Dragonflight, +).

Please add target dummys.

I’m trying to teach someone to play WoW in HC and it would be so helpful

Most stop trying to prevent a thing once it has happened :wink: It’s only natural. I think I’m one of the select few still trying to have “QoL” changes removed from game. The rest has resigned, as have I on a few of them that does not hugely either ruin gameplay or immersion.

But the time to fight “QoL” is BEFORE they’re implemented, not after!

And please on a sidenote, tell me where is the “gatekeeping” in me wanting people to not be able to mount onboard ships, FP markers in minimap removed, carets in minimap removed, old UI back … and all the eleventy-something unnecessary changes (Un-QoL) that Blizz brought into this game?

RDF is the singularly most stupid example, as it was in Wrath, when Wrath was actual content. It was implemented at the exact right time - just like first time around.

I get keeping gameplay mechanics unchanged, and if you really wanna be a purist and insist that the inconvenience of no guild banks or training dummies is part of the Classic experience okay, but what on earth is the opposition to barber shops? Those are just…fun. Being able to change up your hairstyle occasionally does not make the game less challenging or more convenient.

Seconding this on the barbershops, I really can’t understand what the opposition here is? Or is it just the whole idea of “where does it end if we start?”.

Had a character I leveled to 20 before realizing i hadn’t picked my preferred hairstyle. I get it, was totally my bad, but would it really hurt to have an npc to change hair/beards?

It’s probably all going to be a “nope” but my pet QoL for classic is bigger stack sizes.

I want to go adventuring with a stack of 20 healing potions. Not have stacks of 5 taking up 4 of my precious bag slots.

And I want my stackable gray trash drops to stack up to 20 as well, so I can make it to the vendor with them and trade them in for precious copper, instead of throwing them on the ground in desperation because “I can’t carry anymore” :cry:
