“Preserving” and “changing” are not the same thing. They are opposites, in fact.
You have no interest in an authentic BC and probably never did. You’re not a fan, and you’re not passionate about the game at all. You simply want what you want (as you’ve expressed several times) and expect Blizzard to make changes to accommodate you.
You can try to rationalize your self centered behavior all you like. You can claim people are mad at their TV’s until you’re blue in the face. It changes nothing.
You think people owe you something. You should get what you want.
And that’s all there is to this story. It really is as simple and shallow as it appears.
Link please.
We didn’t ask for Classic Plus, and no Classic wasn’t created for the retail locusts. They expected to retain you folks through droughts with it but not as your main game.
Literally every argument you’ve made could be applied to you as well.
I grew up playing Warcraft 3. I’ve played TBC through WOTLK all the way through high school. Me and my friends got into TBCC at launch because we loved that game growing up and we don’t enjoy retail.
I am as passionate as can be about that game, I have always loved Warcraft, it’s probably one of my favorite universes. You are making assumptions for which you have no idea, just to try and justify your childish position, when in fact you are 100% wrong on everything you’ve assumed.
You think people owe YOU to tailor their experience to your expectations of what the game is “supposed” to look like (i.e faction change if you want to PvP).
The fact that I want the game to adapt is because I love that game and I want it to stay relevant in today’s climate. Small changes such as FvF are beneficial to the game’s longevity, you’re fooling yourself if you think otherwise. You’re just too far down your rabbit hole to see it.
We look at things and think “we could do that so much better now,” but at some point it’s dangerous to start substituting our modern judgments for how things were back then because we’re changing the experience and our mission really is to recreate something that has been lost to the sands of time. Otherwise, it’s a piece of gaming history. It’s the origin of World of Warcraft’s story, and some of us said internally joking “it belongs to a museum.” We wanted to create that thing, we wanted to memorialize and immortalize it, and we can’t accomplish that by changing it. ~ Ion
Blizzard needs to stick to its original design and ignore those asking for changes.
I didn’t ask for it, Blizz put it out and it worked. For once, I’m just happy that they’re being proactive and the changes they proposing are good for the game. But keep projecting.
Yeah, as any adult with a job would if they had to wait 35 min to play 1 game.
It’s called self-respect, my time is worth more than that. I can’t just AFK in Shatt for 2h to get 2 games in.
Blizzard already knows people like you won’t unsub, WoW is clearly way too important for you. FvF is a risk-free bet for Blizzard, so get ready, cause it’s definitely coming.
Yes, but Blizzard’s stated goal is to try to do their best to approximate the experience. The above doesn’t mean throw all that out the window and add a bunch of retail features to appease the zoomers. Changes should be made only when absolutely necessary, to fix things that are obviously broken, IMO. Drums are a good example.
Better to who? That’s the problem with changes. They’re entirely subjective.
Personally, I think we should have gotten faithful recreations first. Just as close to a re-release as possible. Then, if the desire was there, Blizzard could go back and do remasters. Kind of like what they’re thinking about doing with Classic.
See, here’s where I kind of see where the #somechanges people are coming from.
MMOs are, by their nature, shared spaces. A lot of the content in the game is other people. If those other people change how they play, that in turn changes the content of the game. So this goes back to a question one of the devs asked: is it more important to preserve the mechanics of the game or the “feel” of the game?
Boo hoo. Sometimes it takes hours to put together a dungeon group. That doesn’t mean dungeon finder needs to be added to TBCC. Same faction BGs are not authentic to TBC and thus should not be implemented.
