Will Classic be a dead game before phase 2

at the rate things are going…

  • the layering exploitation
  • Unarmored Mounts
  • Strafe bug
  • Pet glitches/ command response time
  • Spell Batch front loading with rapid fire macros/scripts
  • Alterac Valley
  • No battlegrounds to be release for 6+ months
  • 10 servers on release day
  • Over simplified combat within an aged system
  • 12 months before the first “Hard” raid is made available
  • Cross Realm Battlegrounds

The list is ongoing… we will be into WOW Retail 9.0 before we see AQ gate event (possibly even ZG)

This is a lot to soak in and consider with only 2 months away from hard launch

Man… How upset are people over that?

Can you link me where they said 10 servers?

That was how it was in original? :thinking:

Hey an actual issue!

This does need to be fixed.

they were discussing it on one of the streams i was watching during the stress test… I believe it was StaySafe or TipsOut… It may not be accurate, I’d be a little worried if it is full blown true

Layering that hard on limited servers will be all kinds of a mess

Well your first problem is

and what was nerfed?

Imagine judging a game’s future while we still have 2 months worth of beta

Okay…? Can you type that up again with more sense in it.

History has shown, with them this deep into the beta… AND removing the bug report tabs in the last stress test… that they’re working with a client build they’re willing to accept shipping to Live…

Then repair the fallout/issues as they present themselves.

I don’t think it’ll be dead at all but I also don’t think it’ll be an explosive success.

It’s a niche market and those who are into it will love it and stay. That’s my opinion.

Some stuff needs to get ironed out, yeah, but even so, I have been absolutely loving it.

Wandering around, grinding, leveling professions, reading the quests and taking them in. Plus meeting and grouping with folks.

I love spending all that time. The gratification isn’t instant. In fact, it’s downright drawn out but I enjoy the process; the journey.

I’m guessing there’s a lot of folks, maybe even most folks nowadays that prefer quicker results but I’m certain there is a base of fo.ks who love the time, effort and reward oriented classical mmorpg experience that WoW Classic is delivering.

I’m one of em!

You can report a bug by clicking on customer support. Also this is a stress test not a beta test.

Im hoping they learn from what makes classic good and introduce some of that design philosophy into 9.0 and future xpacs

I think the latest stress test was PURELY for stress testing. I don’t think dealing with bugs were the main concern when they literally shut down servers to cram multiple people into a few servers

Might be the weakest list i’ve ever seen on why Classic will fail.

The only thing I can see that kills Classic is when the new retail expansion comes out and it’s epic.

Such a pessimistic community no matter what goes on.

It’s like you people don’t actually believe it all… just afraid of it possibly failing and can’t allow yourself to just enjoy the moments.

the whole point of this was to stress the servers. not report bugs.

Im hoping that the glitch using razer synapse/auto-Hotkey, spell batching, and simulated lag to 1 shot people with shamans will be addressed as well.

I think ultimately that is the largest issue facing classic pvp right now other than layer hopping… which should correct itself when layers go away

Go take your medicine.
