The WoW Classic Summer Bowl is Live!

It’s interesting to watch, but a few things that would make it easier to keep up with. Having the Name or HP bar be class color since circles under the characters already show the team.

Anchored on left side under the HP bar could show dots/debuffs on the flag carrier. Would help to know how much damage they have built up on them and seeing a Rogue or Warrior open up would be more suspenseful.

The use of Noggenfogger and Deviates doesn’t help to see the player’s gear or what form the Druid’s are in. I understand they are popping consumes to help with dispels, but at least don’t show the audience when they do it. Watching a lil skeleton juke around with jumps isn’t entertaining. Showing a Druid popping in and out of forms is fun to watch when they are really good.

Displaying teams holding Flags at the top on either side of the scoreboard along with the character carrying as it is now. As they practice more with the camerawork this will be fun to watch with information you want to know right in your face.

Honestly, I couldn’t care any less about ‘Tournament Level WoW PvP’.
It’s the same thing every game at tournament level.

Screw this current WoW Classic team, if there even is one. They don’t care about the majority of their player base or making the game better. They hide constantly from the community and ignore the anger on these boards while trying to put a positive spin on everything.

The actual state of competitive PvP in this game is:

Horde being the dominant faction by a wide margin.
AV being a ghost town with a 99% Horde win ratio.
Premade teams repeatedly stomping pugs for fast honor and dodging other premade because ‘Muh honor per hour!’
Botting and people ‘honor leeching’ in BGs (especially Alliance side).
Players abusing ‘honor pools’ to increase the potential number of rank 13-14’s in any given week because the Classic PvP system is miserable to grind through.

Oh didn’t like that one huh? Here try this one:
I’ll be grilling and working on my backyard landscape projects this summer. I won’t be watching neckbeards try to turn a game never intended to be an epsort. Into an esport. By a company who shamelessly pursues Gallywixx’s bonus.

eSports is a HIGHLY DANGEROUS precedent to set for Classic. This is the slippery slope moment, I fear…

You can tell Blizzard really wants Classic eSports to succeed by how aggressively they’re moderating this thread. Over half the posts in this thread have been removed…

Dearest blizzard, you think we care about esports in classic, but we don’t.

Also, remove the 30 instances a day lockout. Stop silencing our feedback.

if they want classic e sports then changes are coming.

Yeah someone put some work in and deleted like 20 of the posts where we were asking them to revert the instance lockout change lmao. First they all got hidden, then a few hours later stealth deleted, like half the comments are gone.

Actiblizzard trying to push this Classic esports crap down our throats shows how clueless and out of touch they are about this game and its community. It’s really sad.

it was funny, you’d scroll down and it would be like:

Comment one: 16 likes, this comment has been hidden.
Comment two: 12 likes, this comment has been hidden.
Comment three: Actual comment about the thread, 1 like.

…and went on this way for like 20 more comments lmao.

Anyone remember that massive thread we had about the west coast and east coast server split that got reverted? 500 comments removed in one day once. All the ones bumping it, like everyone noticed and it was hilarious.

instead of trying to make the company better in the long term, they use all their resources on silencing the forums and attempting to get maximum money as fast as possible with no regard of the future. lol.

Its like the company ceos wanna LARP being a totalitarian evil government lol. really sad.

No in these forums you can post without active game time, thank god. Been playing gran turismo 2 on my old playstation one all weekend, and dusted off my OSRS account. We goin back in time boysss.

Well it says im out of classic time, not sure how or why I still have retail gaime time and not classic time, I thought the two were linked lol.

Nope. It’s a system glitch. The GM’s will block your access if they check your account and you have no sub time or if you log out with no sub time. It updates.
One of them probably has mine circled on their calendar. Lol.

Ty Blizzard for ignoring us and then trying to hide the fact that your players are not happy.

Revert the instance cap.
