So I know I can be harsh on the devs cause of nerfs and changes and blaming them on every issue I ever run in to in game. Even when its the player bases fault lol. But you guys took a chance and do not have any PTR and I think the game is doing fine. Keep it up. I am looking forward to future Phases. Thank you for working so hard.
Except for the 1) broken launch of Incursions and 2) the way Incursions have skewed WoW out of all recognition. So, yeah, if you don’t mind all that, brilliant move!
Blizz is throwing all sorts of shi…er, jelly at SoD, fresh from retail so both cheap and easy to implement. The devs thank you for doing their work for them…and paying them! Win-win for them. They will show their appreciation by allowing you to keep playing for a nomial month fee…

Yes! Or reward you by restricting your account for now going into the third day with no reason given whatsoever and no reason for it in the first place…
This is a season server. I want them to throw the whole kitchen at the wall and see what sticks. If you want long lasting then maybe classic era or WOTLK/Cata or even retail. And I hate saying that but in this case thats the only choice you make.
You can tell they arent even testing this stuff internally. While I feel bad that they are understaffed and apparently have zero QA staff available to test but I wont say this is good work. My spec of choice is abysmal and less fun the further SoD goes.
I dont appreciate the group with 5 people or go home mentality of Aggend’s version of wow. A lot of my playtime is solo (I have been playing like this happily since real Vanilla), while joining up with people to do quests in the world. I realize that is slower which is fine but in Aggrends world its 100 times easier with 100 times better rewards to do everything as a 5 man.
Look at incursions. Solo is super hard to impossible by design. 5 man? You are shooting to 50 in a few hours. Are people making friends with these random questing groups? These are join/drop forget everyone like retail. Meanwhile I remember the people I joined in the still classic part of the questing game and helped do a quest or two.
Then there is STV, the “FFA” PvP thats actually more 5 man group content.
Etc.
My personal opinion, Aggrend needs to move on. His version of Vanilla is not in the spirit of the Vanilla I remember playing. I’d like to see someone else as the lead developer of the next Seasonal Server.

The title developer implies thought. There appears to be zero thought going into this. Runes and events feel like a 10 year old said “ hey this looks cool, let’s throw it in the game.” It is not a good job by the devs.

I started out liking SoD, but phase 2 and so far phase 3 have been a let down.
But that’s only because I don’t vibe with the way they are doing things.
I always thought of SoD as one big PTR for Classic Plus. So I don’t hate on them when they are testing ideas and one can only hope they are getting valuable feed back from these events.
Personally I think the runes should not have given us extra power… They should have allowed us to play the classes differently or beef up under performing specs.
This has been successful with some classes not so with other.
For example: Warriors I think should have been given runes to help them compete as range combat spec, after all hunters are now melee.
Battle grounds should have been redesigned to give an alternate way to level and gear… bring back the “war” in warcraft… instead of it being an after thought.
The blood moon and Ashenvale events could have been implemented into battle grounds and the incursion should have effected dungeons instead of being open world content. Maybe some sort of comsumable could be used to switch been classic and incursion instance.
The idea of hunting down runes was great at first, but it soon became annoying for me… esp with runes gated behind reputation grinds.
ATM I really am only playing because I love the IP and there is something about Classic that gives it a better atmosphere than retail.
restricted from ah trade mail thanks dev!
