WoW Classic ERA is BROKEN

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Expected in the context of an ever-changing, rapidly updating live-service game.

Classic era is not supposed to be that.

Classic era is supposed to be forever in the final patch of the experience (Naxx), ever UN-changing from that state.

This update is out of pace with that core expectation.

There literally isn’t supposed to be any updates, period. That’s the whole point. We don’t want any updates.

That’s the entire point of Classic era. To play an not-updated version of WoW that continues to not be updated.

it likely has nearly the same code base as the new hardcore server, which does have changes.

104

Except these updates shouldn’t have even happened. It wasn’t needed or wanted.

I replied to another thread to say this but I will here too.

I logged on to this toon I post on to check the new Ui and did a /who. Yesterday there were 45 horde online with most looking like hunter/mage bots. Today there were 9 with all of those looking like “real” players.

I checked ally side on this cluster, same deal.

I checked the Faerlina cluster on both sides, same deal. 10 or 11 on each side for each of these… lower pop clusters, down from 45 “players” or so.

It’s harder to tell on a more populated server.

Basically though, I think you are onto something.

Welcome to World of Warcraft Classic Reforged—pure and clear gibberish from our Devs.

This is like saying, we have to use the new battle net launcher and that ruins the game. Makes negative sense.

108

Well whatever program / script they are using needs to updated for the current patch. They’ll be back.

Carrying on about stuff like retail settings menu doesn’t help this point any. Nor does pretending like blizzard has promised you anything. If they want to keep the codebase modern for ease of addon development and internal development, that’s entirely their perorgative. Carrying on like they’ve brought in new talent tree’s and totally changed the game, is ludicrous.

It’s their choice to do what they want with the game and it’s the players’ choice to voice displeasure with said changes.

If you have have something against consumers complaining about a product I might recommend other genres of websites where your time is better spent other than forums for said product.

You’re voicing discontent as though you’ve been promised something that hasn’t been delivered. That isn’t the same as saying hey, I’d prefer if this wasn’t here.

I’d prefer if the dragonflight options menu wasn’t there.

With all this mess going on I’d suggest trying out Baldur’s Gate3. It has all the good stuff

An amazing world
Great characters

Not since that :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: server “consolidation”

115

New stuff happens and the forums are all “unreal!!! Change it back now!!!”

The game is dead because nothing new has happened and the forums are all “why didn’t Blizz do more to keep it alive!!!”

This options menu change has just shown how spoiled and entitled many people in the classic community are. In game no one cares.

@Blizzard

Focus Cast Key setting is part of the newer interface options under Combat, which is a feature that doesn’t exist/work in Classic Era.

Oversight or intention to implement/fix the feature to work?

117

i have a macro for that in classic. works great. if they are adding it officially to the combat options menu, that’ll be one less macro i need.

118

Sure is a lot of WOTLK/Retail player brigading lately, huh.

Oh probably true and I thought the same which is why I didn’t make my own thread on it.

I still wanted to share that.

I’m not a fan of the changes.

120

Ah, what was I gonna do with all that mana anyway?

I haven’t been playing much for the last few months and already had that feeling creeping up where I had one foot out the door but this pretty much sealed the deal for me.

Didnt care for the chronoboon but it wasnt detracting from my experience. Didnt care for the pvp changes but I cant really argue with their reasoning. While the UI and other changes aren’t a real concern for many Ive just had enough.

Blizz said they didnt want to run two MMOs and they weren’t kidding. Well, Im not paying for three MMOs while the one Im interested in gets further and further away from an already distanced starting point. Screw this garbage.

I wish I didnt just buy another two months of game time and waste the last 4 years on hopes and dreams. So I guess this is where I hang it up.

Now to go hate on my friends and fam who overrode my decision to not to play classic, got me to play classic, left me alone 2 months after launch so I could end up here regretting all the time I spent playing.
