These 'Changes'

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion
1

Hi all!
Forgive my ignorance here, as I am just hopping on the #Classic bandwagon. I see all of these #NoChanges threads because of the imposed changes that #Blizzard will be making to the Classic re-release. I have tried to do some extensive googling to see what theses ‘changes’ are.

Can someone point me in the right direction so I feel #Woke?

Honestly, not trolling or anything. Just a genuinely interested human in this topic. Thanks! :slight_smile:

Some are sharding, loot trading, a graphics toggle, and more but those are the big ones. The part of being no changes is understanding that some changes will unfortunately happen. We continue to fight so that few as possible happen. People who talk crap have no idea what we are really about. Plus, real no changers don’t care about things like the graphics toggle that doesn’t affect anyone but the person using it.

Welcome.
Just start reading. It will help get your rep levels up.
Good thing you made sure to point out that you’re new…Someone might of mistaken you for someone’s alt…
There’s a lot of alt swapping around here to try and influence discussions and make some topics appear to the users as if they are a bigger issue than they really are. Oh and obviously it helps hide trolls a bit because they can just change avatars and a new troll is born.
Since you’re obviously not one because you said you weren’t we won’t think you’re a troll. Yet. Lol.
Anywho. Welcome and please don’t feed the trolls.

Hmm gotcha.

So there is no list online really of what changes will be made?

Practically everyone that complains about changes never actually gives a reference to documentation of the alleged change. Good luck.

edit: Sorry to be so negative, but that’s just how it is.

This all makes my brain hurt! I just want to know what is going on! I do plan to play Classic, as I don’t really enjoy numerous aspects of the live game (Daily Quests, RNG Upgrades, ETC.)

I feel bad for being so pessimistic, to try to be helpful… Of all the things people complain about most on this forum, in regards to “I can’t believe Bliz is going to put that change in”, the changes that are actually bound in some fact are very few. I think the most widely accepted factual changes would be sharding servers during release to fight high server loads, and loot trading. Meaning loot picked up in a dungeon could be traded within a group, not necessarily 100% bind on pickup.

There’s probably something I’m forgetting.

There’s a pinned thread started by Banjaa called “everything we know about classic” that kind of breaks down the main issues. It quickly goes off the rails but the first post and responses have a list to get you started

Here’s a great thread (pinned at the top on the forums) that goes into detail about what to expect.

the only confirmed changes to wow right now is

  • Battle.net integration.
  • Authentication able to be used for account security.
  • Color Blind mode for accessibility.
  • Updated Graphics.
  • Loot Trading.
  • Right Click to Report.
  • 64 Bit only

At this time blizzard is considering

  • Sharding at launch for a variety of reasons.

Blizzard has said no outright to a few things

  • LFD/LFR
  • Balance Changes
  • Flying

Until the beta is playable, consider literally everything unconfirmed.

Anyone who says they know what the game will be like or whether or not there will be changes doesnt know any more than the rest of us, and can be safely ignored.

#nochanges means we want classic to completely mimic vanilla. That is a pipe dream of course, but we want it as close as possible.

Somehow some people think transmog will slide into the confirmed column just because it wasn’t outright listed as not happening.

17

Too bad we can’t designate a main and that name would be listed under all your forum posts so we can see who’s alts are who’s.

I only post on this character. I hope people don’t think I post on alts. That would be exhausting to keep up with.

Classic means Classic.

That means no LFD/LFR and no Pandas.

19

I like that idea. Takes away the “fear” some have over just their btag with no numbers showing.

and yet despite classic means classic we have had people ask for

  • LFR/LFD
  • Flying
  • Transmog
  • Linked Rewards
  • Built in Quest Helper
  • Dailies
  • Arenas/Rated BGs
  • Post Vanilla Races
  • Post Vanilla Classes
  • Post Vanilla Race/Class Combos
  • Post Vanilla Balance
  • etc

I’ve been a bit absent the last couple of weeks with the new baby, but the graphics are NOT confirmed as far as I know?
