Following today’s Warcraft Direct, we hope you’re as excited as we are about everything coming to WoW Classic! We hope that Season of Discovery players caught a glimpse at some of the exciting new content and rewards we have in store for you.
Many players want to know more about the future for your Season of Discovery characters, and we want to repeat what we’ve said in the past:
We have no plans to delete Season of Discovery characters or to shut down the SoD realms. We plan to continue supporting them, and we’re hard at work on everything else that’s coming … Soon™.
A timeline with nothing SOD related (specifically on it)
No new big raids
No new runes
No PVP balance changes or gear updates (which almost everyone has been begging for on the pvp servers.)
No new zones
All we got is a soon TM, a small video clip of some possible instance content (why not just say the word raid or dungeon? Seems very deliberate.) and fresh on the 21st with mount cosmetics for SoD.
Look team… at this point almost everyone in the community feels this lack of development and transparency.
I love SOD, I have 110+ days of played time on my character in SOD. However the pvp balance is SO BAD right now, that I dont even want to log in most days since PVP is mainly what I do with my character after Ive raid logged 20 year old content. (with SoM or some updated mechanics.)
I know my PVE friends have been itching and begging for new raids and zones since SoD was announced last year which we have yet to truly get.
Just my 0.02 but not having a plan this far into the season causes a ton of confusion. Hopefully the team can come to a decision and communicate it out so we can plan.
It’s relevant information as we decide on Fresh vs. MoP vs SoD
did you not read all the new post? as a community manager you should maybe do so before posting something. Does it look like we are excited? everyone feel backstabbed and let down
I’m sure it’s a long shot, but would we be able to transfer our SoD characters to the permanent classic era servers (Mankirk/Whitemane clusters) at the end of Season of Discovery? With our runes removed and gear converted into their era counterpart (or equivalent in the case of new SoD-only items).
Thanks for the post. The vast majority of us understand that SOD was always a seasonal game mode and that possibly one day it would end. That is ok. Those of us that still actively play SOD, enjoy it, and outside of the P3 fumble, the experience has been great overall for many of us. We appreciate some of the work that has been done to provide us with an alternative game mode to the classic WOW we all love.
As we play out the remainder of SOD in the next couple phases, we are hopeful the adventure can continue in some form of SOD into the future!
My guild is just hoping to know if these characters will eventually get merged with the fresh servers in time for TBC - the way SoM was with WotLK. Ideally we’d like to know that before these new servers go live, so we know ahead of time if we need to remake our mains or if we’re better off trying something different for a year while we wait.
I love seeing these kind of hysteria posts, it’s like everyone’s inner-child screaming for more candy!!!
They know they got a good experiment going, and these posts pretty much confirm it. Good things will come, having patience is the hardest part but the payoff will be worth it (delayed gratification).
