Furthermore, this is NOT Season of discovery. As classic players we want CLASSIC. Not Season of discovery. The player base is different. Myself and all of my friends (I want to play with but cant because of this new feature.) Do not play retail, season of discovery. We play Classic.
Stop making un asked for and unwanted changes to Classic realms. This is NOT what ANY of us want. This is NOT the PvP experience of Classic.
Yeah, they are so out of touch with the game and player base. They are taking complaints and issues from Season of discovery and beta testing them on a Classic realm. people want Classic Hey guys lets keep changing Classic to be more like the new retail versions people are not playing because they want Classic.
All I saw was Fresh Classic realms and got hyped with my friends to play. I didnāt take the time to look into changes like this because why should I? It should be advertised on the Blizzard launcher instead of me having to go through the Blizzard forums to discover this new problem I have never experienced before while I am attempting to play with my friends, for a game I spent money on.
This was literally the last chance lol. Never giving Blizzard another dollar if they do not rectify this massive mistake before my sub ends. There are other ways to play Classic (with no unwanted changes.) that do not involve giving an incompetent company money.
This new layering test is not working. It sucks
What a joke. The fresh layers are always 5 Horde to 1 Alliance, and my friends and I tested it. Four of us, all on different layers, had no idea how the hell that happened. We all went to the same zone, /who had 50 for all of us on four different layersāfour lots of full 50 who, all different players, but somehow no Alliance around.
Pin this forum again, people need to know how bad the new layering system is
My favorite part of this system is when i get layered after clearing a mob camp and getting killed by a refreshed camp.
Bonus points if i get layered while iām still fighting the mob.
Is the whole āweāll see you on the battlefield,ā supposed to be irony? Because I canāt even see the people Iām in a party with.
What battlefield? People are getting phased out left and right, just keep 1 layer across the world already. This zone by zone sharding is not working
There are too many layers! Hasnāt Blizzard heard this enough by now?
Itās like Iām playing on a dead server. There are only a few people in the zones, and in the cities. Thanks for crushing the whole āfresh experience,ā Blizz.
The more you try to fix with all these systems you keep implementing, the more you break the gameā¦
Hubris in action!
All the collateral damage done by the automated reporting/cs
This change will punish players trying to join groups if they recently layer changed.
The 30 day lockouts on new accountsā¦
Blizzard what the heck are you anymore?
The faction balance worked fine in SoD. Shoulda just kept it that way instead of this new system. The very, very few people that still complained, probably ended up being an isolated experience.
Just balance faction at character selection, as you did, and have less layers, not this āzone by zoneā sharding. Itās terrible
So i just been told if you are in a large guild it will layer you to a more favorable faction layer since it takes priority. can anyone confirm this?
Maybeā¦ but then itāll shard/layer you back. And then maybe back and fourthā¦ who knows. Itās anyoneās guess now.
It didnāt. Every faction would claim a layer to have the majority in.
Not at all, not sure where you were playing.
I was the ashenvale organizer for a long time on my server. Itās just how it was
The ashenvale event was balanced almost every time I participated. BRM was also balanced more times than not.
Not going to argue about it, i played pvp servers back in vanilla and the faction balance was MUCH better than anything back in the day.
It worked just fine the times I played.
I would take the faction balanced world layers, 1 layer, than this horrible zone by zone ābalancingā any day. Itās been far worse
The lure to the vanilla PvP is the open world. Retail esque sharding makes every zone feel almost instanced. It feels like a Potemkin Village. Horrible approach to vanilla WoW, but most of the playerbase is conditioned to enjoy this stuff instead of getting to enjoy a real open world.
This is what Iām hoping we can go back to. No more of this zone by zone sharding nonsense
