Hey folks,
First time posting but im here to express my frustration with the new HC servers.
I am failing to understand the necessity for a new HC server.
I do not see any positivity from this at ALL.
Fresh HC server is off the hype of streamers. Server will die again in a couple of months.
2.Existing player base in Skull Rock & Defias Pillager will plummet with the incoming new HC server. Blizzard will lose $ on servers that aren’t really required anymore.
If Blizzard made a new HC server with TBC progression, then yes a new HC server is viable.
As a result of the announcement, a lot of players in Defias Pillager server is already committing suicide, Makgorraed, simply stopped playing anymore.
Agree. As an active HC player, I’m clueless about why we need new HC servers:
It will stretch players thin. After initial hype falls, current and new HC servers will have a smaller player count than they could have if another server didn’t exist.
There’s no FOMO. Due to the nature of HC, I can find a guild that progresses different raids. I can find some newer guilds trying MC and 20s. I can find guild raiding AQ and NAXX. I don’t feel like content phasing brings anything to the table.
No HC TBC is colossal L. I was excited about this opportunity more than the hypothetical SOD TBC.
Progressing these new hardcore servers into TBC would make much more sense, I hope they change their mind about this. Otherwise it’s just dividing the playerbase for no reason, give it a year and it’ll just be another Defias Pillager, what’s the point?
A new HC server with progression into TBC is wanted by many HC players that have run out of things to do. Let those that have hit 58-60 have the option to go thru the portal. Even if it’s just for quests, gear, & leveling. It still creates new challenges, content, & fun.
I do agree with Blizzard, TBC raids & dungeons have randomness & mechanics that would result in wipes, which is why a HC server that was TBC only could get old real quick, with players not able to complete raids.
Keep as progression only, allow those that have made the level requirement, to have that option.
You can play it safe in Azeroth or risk your luck in TBC.
No risk no reward.
Kinda the point of HC challenge.
We want more!
No, people want classic, not TBC, Wrath, Cataclysm etc. We are original players, and want original game, HC was just a fun twist that got a lot of us interested again.
But Blizz decided to delete the servers yesterday I guess, with no real warning. There was people who were doing raid progression and starting to form raiding groups I was part of one.
The only thing they needed to do was add decent GM moderation for intentional greifing or legitimate server / dc issues. Problem solved, no extra servers, no expansions that are the reason we don’t play retail anymore.
But like always blizz manage to destroy the only fun thing they had going so I suspect a lot in the same boat as me will view this as the last straw and not bother with any form of Blizz game again as they keep making the same mistakes over and over and the people who played this for fun are just done with it especially after randomly deleting our servers so they can push fresh servers that I was never interested in and the others like me.
