Wow classic hardcore TBC

WOW classic TBC, where you can continue your current character… death is still permanent… you get a special buff showing you are an actual “lvl 1- tbc” character (similiar to sf)
And… people can create level 58 or 60 characters and begin at the dark portal, with baseline gear, gold, bags, and basic mount learned.

That way you get the HARDCORE experience of TBC without starting in Elwynn and without them really having to do anything to the game.

There would be tonnes of prestige to ppl who went 1-70… but keep a healthy population on the server by allowing ppl to create 58-60s’s fresh.

no. not this.

the game should start at level 1 not at level 60. Let all content be relevant, not just the last expansion.

You literally ignored the post, you can read right?

You would have the choice,and it you would earn a prestige of you choose to start at lvl 1.

Frankly the game could use less randos like you trying to constantly gate content just to disagree.

I bet 99.9% will choose to boost. People are competitive, you also have FOMO.
Here’s another idea.
You need to earn the privilage of starting at 60, you must have a 60 on Vanilla HC first.
I think the gating aspect will be met better with this rule. :wink:

We’re all “randos” dude. js

I do not support any part of your idea any longer.

Who cares if they boost? 58-70 takes longer than 1-60

No. Just have it launch same way TBC did before. Any toon that can move through the Dark Portal can go through.

TBC was not a good game :expressionless: stop trying to revive it

TBC is a great game, keep trying to revive it.

But not as HC, that wouldn’t work with how open world content is trivial with flying mounts while instanced content is way deadlier than in classic era.

Why not let us try - easy way to do this would be to add the Soul of Iron buff to TBC as well :wink:

12

Thinking from the PoV of Blizzard: why try TBC HC if current classic era HC barely has any players already and TBC content is way deadlier? Like I get that there is no harm in asking but I don’t think it would work the more I think about it.

13

Letting Soul of Iron be in game would cost what? Like 5 minutes time. Then they could see if enought turn it on to warrant a realm.

14

I misunderstood the idea, yea if they release a classic TBC server it makes sense to introduce the soul of iron, though imo that thing just gets cheesed with people zoning in just for the bosses.

Well as I’m not in it for endgame, but for the levelling, I would be happy with the buff :wink:

Aparrently some folks do. Fits with the tag RPG don’t ya think.

I find it funny you refer to people gating content in reference to request for a hardcore server. My guy do you not see the irony? Hardcore is the ultimate gatekeeper. If you want to get to endgame content you have to get through all this other content without dying lol.

Just saying the hardcore community in general loves “proving oneself” and adding boosts is completely antithetical to the core game design.

I am not sure that would work. A number of bosses outright kill people in raids, and rng fights do happen. I mean people want tbc one of the better expansions, but hardcore worked in vanilla because of the raids needing more pre-prep then mechanics,

Gatekeeping is normally a term used for people keeping others out, not for hard gamemodes
:grin:
