I for one started playing WoW at the end of 2012 in the MoP expac and I wanted a genuine experience in classic MoP. LFR was a major part of it. Also why are we so overtuned? The numbers we are putting up in dungeons were NOT seen in the original MoP this early. I remember the highest dps players doing 30 to 40k overall early in MoP. Some are doing 100k+ right now. Im doing an average of 60k overall while tanking at 464 ilevel. Sometimes higher. I mean I have a video of my raid team finishing up MSV back in the day and I was playing blood dk and I know I was around 485ish ilevel and I finished that last fight in there at 44k and thats with all that time to build up vengence. Im running a prot Warrior now and even my single target numbers on dungeon bosses are higher than that and thats with very little time to build up vengence.
We get everything on the last patch.
I can see why Blizzard did this, but there is something to be said for it being interesting to experience the game balance as it was on each subsequent patch haha. Imagine a fresh server starting with the OG talents? ![]()
In Blizzard’s defense, I suspect it would have been pretty challenging for Blizzard to separate out the balance and gameplay changes from the general gameplay exploits and fixes.
Though there’s an alternative timeline out there where Blizz undid the ZG plague patch on release and just didn’t tell anybody about it.
you are so deep into the retail zone of expacs dude
all bets are off
i mean, seriously, pandas? ![]()
I’ve been saying this about Classic “Vanilla” as well. The numbers are not authentic.
I’m guessing the Classic versions of the game are just this way. The team doesn’t seem to be interested in re-creating the experience as it was when it was the live game - instead it is kind of a tourist mode. I guess that’s fine, at least we don’t have to play “retail”.
just so you know, people in original mop early/mid mop was doing 1million dps and had 1million hp, till later blizzard tweaked the whole game stats and people was doing 10~20k dps and had 1/10 the hp they had.
this version of classic mop doesn’t have that tweak despite it got released with last patch.
also even though classic mop not having lfr or personal loot or maybe more changes, however it sill got the new classic invention gear up system of dungeon + & the catch up vendor gear.
anyway classic was never about re-releasing same game as it used to be.
That was the point in 2019.
Nobody wanted a reimagined/modified/tweaked version of Classic WoW. They wanted to play authentic Vanilla WoW on official Blizzard servers.
For any future releases of Classic, yeah people want changes. I don’t really have an opinion on the classic versions after WotLK since I don’t enjoy them but yeah Blizzard has changed lots of things.
Vanilla runs on the new engine, we will never get original vanilla with the water graphics.
