Lol, I think many of us can relate to your post Kamikahzi.

I wonder how much time it would have taken to finish this sentence; “You can’t play WOW Classic yet, because…”

It’s ok, there there. Not much longer until we can play. It may seem like forever, but it’s getting closer. On the bright side, maybe this means we at least get to do the stress test again this coming week? Hoping for that at least. ![:stuck_out_tongue:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/stuck_out_tongue.png?v=6" ":stuck_out_tongue:")
But then again, Blizzard does seem to like messing with us with the option coming on our launcher, taking it off, putting it back on again, then telling us it was a mistake, and the back and forth. Maybe we are in an endless April Fool’s joke! Continue your tantrum, this adult is about to join you lol.

Imagine blizzard takes your wife then decideds to bring her back but she is grayed out and blizz says, “you can’t have her yet”

I like the “You can’t play Classic WoW yet.” message. As if having a greyed out button isn’t enough, it has to have hover text telling us we can’t play “yet.”
If I was the one programming that message in I probably would have been laughing maniacally.

The worst part about this is they are going to wait till 6:00 oclock… right before going home and say “Oh we messed up, sorry guys” lmao
The worst templates I’ve ever seen. No gear vendors. Class mounts missing for locks and Paladins. Itemized Paladins for Retribution but gave Shamans a staff, 1 hander, shield, and more spirit than str+agi combined. Even Hunters have more STR than Shamans. Obvious pigeonholing restro is obvious.
Way worse than I thought this might go after finding out the main servers would come down, it’s obvious now why you made that decision.
Y’all ain’t missing much.
Rogues have daggers that ruin their characters abilities HAHAH
Would be nice to have sets of gear for different specs. Paladins are nearly all strength gear, so you basically are playing ret/prot or nothing.
I get the gear is set to kind of similar levels, but I am certain there is gear around this level that paladins can use for intellect to heal.

Oh, I am quite chill.
They chose to ignore the outcry that goes all the way back to within vanilla. They ignored all of the reasoning that people wanted early AV back. They ignored it all. Sorry if I don’t buy the “not enough time” excuse. We waited 15 years. We lobbied for almost as long for classic/vanilla. They ignored us every step of the way. Doing this project the most halfhearted fashion is not a good optic for what was once a great and innovative company.

I don’t think they have a lot of the 1.12 data or anything before it, tbh. If what Kern said was true in one of his streams and the inconsistencies we are seeing between actual Vanilla videos and Classic Beta then that pretty much seals the deal for me. An ex-WoW dev and video comparisons are telling the story.
So even if they wanted to go back to 1.5 for everyone - since everyone is requesting it - they probably can’t unless they recreate it from scratch.
The more I dig, the more my interest in Classic deflates, tbh. It will still be fun but once you get everyone in and folks start poking around, I’m sure we will see a lot of folks WTF-ing at some of the things they are seeing/noticing.
We’ve seen stuff in the Beta that isn’t just incorrect - but blatantly so and that worries me. Not just “oh this is a little off” but “hey this NPC never did this back then, what the heck?”
Having client data is one thing - not having all the server data is a completely different ball game.

Give us a version worth playing. 1.12AV is the worst version as it was nerfed to the ground so that Marks of Honor could be farmed more easily. We want a epic AV not the nerfed AV.

After watching the beta streams I cannot help but feel 1.12 is nothing like a real av experience.
The removal of npcs, landmines and korrack is a huge mistake.
The whole point of npcs being strong forced your team to work together as a unit.
Original av was a blend of pve/pvp, as a tank you could play your role and round up npcs to help dps burn them down.
You used your npcs to help you push/defend like in a MOBA game like LoL.
It added an extra layer of depth to the game, you wouldn’t just run off solo or you would get your butt whooped by npcs, you were constantly aware of who was around you and everyone watched each others back.
Watching everyone in AV just run around in their own little pvp world is kinda sad.
I was excited to watch how the beta testers learnt and adapted to playing the field and coming together as a team to overcome the strong mixed pve/pvp enviroment, which happens so organically in 1.8 AV.
This is just your average retail bg where everyone runs off to do their own thing and screws around in field of strife 1v1ing each other.
Classic av was meant to be a raid battleground, highly disappointed in the direction blizzard is taking classic since you knowingly removed npcs and mines because they decided it would be to hard for players to overcome.
This also gives me grave concern to how 1.12 tuning could completely trivialize MC and BWL progression.
I have been told 1.12 brought in many catch up mechanics to push players through lower level raid content faster, if today is anything to go by, the reality is we will be facing MC and BWL in a somewhat trivialized enviroment.
Please reconsider testing 1.8 AV, NPCs and Korrack need to be in AV.

oh did you not see the blue post it’s so you can uninstall it
The blue post way after I posted that?
Sure, I saw it.
Had they gone with 1.8 I think they would have seen new record numbers.
I was unaware 1.12 removed npcs, I thought I was going to wake up to all the streamers getting their butt kicked and seeing an epic battle as the beta testers learnt to work together and fight as a team.
This is boring gameplay, once again blizzard drops the ball because they decided NPCS and landmines in AV might cause to much player discomfort, opting with the version they thought would be easier for players.
Reconsider 1.8 AV next weekend blizzard.
This is the same old AV, I might as well watch retail AV streams.
No wonder even the streamers are turning off their streams.
I promise you, put the NPCS back in and try this another weekend and you will get record views, yes NPCs add an extra layer of difficulty,but as a player, I promise you, when everyone “gets it” and starts working together the NPCS just fall like dominos and it becomes this exciting PvE race where your both pushing forward together while repelling enemy attacks it’s just amazing again blizz plzzz reconsider.
