      Is the ability to play a Class, That has 3 Specs, But ONLY 1 OF THEM being viable, Attractive to you as a concept???
      If you want to still keep things "Balanced" then just make it so the Taunt can only be acquired from Prot, And Crusader Strike only obtainable on Ret.
      This would still make Prot garbage, But them not having taunt was just absurd in general lol... Playing a Paladin as Tank was just trolling in Vanilla because of the lack of it xD

    I think the part that makes classic is the game is easy... but the socializing part is hard. There is enough to do to get people invested and then there is content that requires coordination with other players... including just getting to the dungeon. People constantly forget WORLD of warcraft people want to experience a shared world and challenges. When you turn the dungeons into leveled auto deployed into it feels like it's a separate video game.

    A lot of what Asmons' saying about adding things is true, the game went downhill the moment every class could do everything. I'd take it further and say that alliance only having paladins and horde having shamans was a greaet thing, it caused a loyalty to your side and many fun moments where you'd chase an enemy player through three zones just because they're the bad guys to you and your team. Friends made during leveling, having to meet at meeting stones etc, these things forced an amazing community, if you were rude or didn't come to the meeting stone in time, kicked, if you were a legend and helped the warlock summon others at the dungeons, added and friended. These things forced great social connections and without them the game slowly turned to garbiage.

    Interdependency is what made a lot of older games so great. A lot of people now are so antisocial that game devs have caved into developing games for those people.

I think games actually helped a lot of people break out of their antisocial caves like how D&D helped people in the past learn how to get past problems in their lives.

    His argument about how classic was never hard is a bit flawed, by todays standards its a cake walk, but back in 2005 it was quite difficult. The top guilds take about as long to clear raids now in retail as they've done in almost every expansion, the difficulty has gone up together with player skill. The big problem is the loot in mythic being so much better, it would be better if mythic had the same loot as HC but just had some cosmetics and titles as bonus rewards.

      @@poorpriest4549 Well, you could then argue that the bosses and tuning were made with the laggy connections and crappy PCs in mind. Everyone was way worse at the game too, and the min/max culture was not yet engrained in everyone as it is today. If you look at Wrath, Cata, Pandaria, or Legion's later raids and compare with retail, it took about the same time to clear them on the hardest difficulty as the raids in current retail. But I do see your point, and maybe the game has gotten a bit too sweaty, even if the player skill has increased a lot too.

      That's a false premise! Don't confuse mechanical difficulty with overall difficulty. Vanilla WoW never had truly hard mechanics. This is simply true unless you're a mouth breather. Vanilla mobs, dungeons and raids were piss-easy in comparison to later expansions and other games. But it was difficult because of other factors: required time investment, required gear-checks, everything in the game was new and unknown, old PCs and slow internet, players being a lot less organized than now, and so on...

    As a SoD player that admittedly leans into the sweaty side quite aggressively, even OUR GUILD is fucking pulling their hair out at the prospect of x2 3day lockouts on MC and Ony.
    It's going to incinerate the remaining player base if they don't change it.
    It's the most unappealing idea they could have ever proposed. I don't care how much you've reworked it and if you've given it a difficulty slider - no one wants to raid both Ony and MC twice a week. It's. Not. Fun. Fucking PERIOD.

Great i guess im not playing phase 4 after investing so much time into it. I want to be a Ret pally, i want to have a BRD raid not MC, i want to have a proper rotation not dual wielding 2 rotations as ret (Seal-twisting & also building procs for Exorcism spams) I want gear that isnt created for warrior and is actually made for ret so i dont have to steal from Feral druids & Warriors, and i want to just enjoy the game weekly not grinding every single day of the week for a Vanilla style game. (BTW I am a top percentile ret with 97-99 Parses im not shit at playing it.) I play other games too and if it becomes a slug-fest just to stay relevant that isn't fun for me.

'' classic raid difficulty'' is managing a 50ish groups of players, you need to deal with loot distribution, consumable management, timing, and class balance of the raid and all the drama in your guild. Sure the raid itself is easy, but that's not why classic raid is engaging.

      Why want a 40 man raid ? because it's epic. And in my case because i enjoy being part of the much bigger units. The '' difficulty'' of assembling and creating a functionning 40 man raid make the raid special, at time it feels like a miracle.imo it's one of the reason why vanilla raiding (even if the raid itself is piss easy) is still popular after decade. It creats this feeling of being part of something special.

    You can't get better gear, you just get the same gear faster. 10 rolls gives you more chances to get gear than 5 rolls, but 10 rolls can't get you better quality gear that isn't available with 5 rolls.
    Edit for reply due to shadowban: But that's exactly what I'm saying. You get more chances to get the same gear that's available even with fewer rolls. So you don't get better gear, you just get it faster. Individually it may seem like "I got better gear" but no player will ever get something with 10 rolls that everyone else could not get with 5.
    One is describing what is potentially possible across every scenario, the other is describing individual rng for individual scenarios. Using the later to try and invalidate the former doesn't really make sense to me.
    It's like saying "White and Black have the same number of pieces in chess" and then pointing to an individual game midway through where the pieces are unequal to say "no they're not" or "it depends".
    Reply 2: Except the gear isn't better, you just get all of it faster.
    It's like saying someone with a bigger cup is drinking 'better water'. No, it's the same water, you just get more of it down.

      Having more rolls for those big ticket items will result in more people getting the high wuality gear. If they only get the base number of items then there is always the risk that when new content releases not everyone will have their persistent BiS items.

      - WoW Classic SOD is the original 2004 game with minor adjustments. Playerbase has dwindled over the past year, and endgame content is very easy. However, the game gives large catchup boosts to players who start out new. Recommended for beginners.
      - WoW Classic Cataclysm is a re-release of the 2012 expansion pack. Large playerbase, challenging end game content and great class balance. My personal recommendation for experienced players.
      - WoW Mist of Pandaria remix, a short-term experiment where people can mix and match abilities and powers from different classes. Turning it into a sort of roguelite experience. The mixing of abilities allows you to really break the game. Therefore not very immersive, and not recommended.

      see the thing is; raids up until this point in SOD has been tutorial level ez mode baby raids and people want more spice on their beef.
      the normal mode is just that: the normal mode.
      that's your "ez" mode, you are not being cheated out of power by playing this mode.
      the harder modes of MC is for those of us who would like to be stimulated a bit when we play the game and not be forced down into the casual level with the dregs who play for 20 minutes per week, and the fact we are getting a bit larger quantity of loot (note: _not_ better QUALITY loot) as a reward is only fair.
      people said the raids were hard in SOD and this is objectively not true.
      blizzard had to do something to satisfy both types of players because a lot of people were really disappointed by how much they gutted the difficulty in ST.
      finally we got a raid that got the adrenaline pumping, and because a bunch of scum who don't know how dispel magic works lamented their woes very loudly, we got cheated out of that.
      this is hands down the best option for everyone.
      those who are baddies can play the ez mode of MC and get the exact same loot that those of us who play the hard mode will.
      when the casuals feel like they are up to the challenge, nothing is stopping them from entering the harder modes and giving it a try.
      who knows, maybe they'll grow to enjoy the challenge.

We already leveled in classic 2019, and classic hardcore, we dont want again a slow leveling, we want to test the new end game stuff, as we have already experienced all zones due to level by brackets.
    With world bosses, I agree the fantasy of guilds fighting for it was super cool, but that was for classic 2019 or classic era, this is SOD and its quite ok that all people can see the boss.
    Same with difficulty levels in MC, are we going to be doing again MC for months or weeks again with how meme it is? You can still have the meme difficult or have a more challenge.
    I think runes are overtuned, invalidating talents or base spells, thats what the grip with SoD for me. They should have developed the TBC classes a bit, as they maintain the core of classic with some fixes, but improved.

      Brother you can buy that mount under an hour now in remix and for tusk all you need is 10x normal raids to buy em of the vendor if you do HC or M you can get em even faster right now on MoP remix.

    Maybe they spent all that time updating end game content instead of focusing on one single dungeon and turning it into a generic retail raid.
    Doubt it though.
    edit: Nope, its worse, dailies dailies dailies, and difficulty modes for end game, they learned nothing about how classic succeeds in player retention while retail fails

      I guess the entire class set system needs to be remade in a way to fit the current way of the game, like the original paladin tier1 set is for healing mainly, but now the other specs need their own stats and set bonuses.

    for people trying to talk about how the 20 man raids are better fail to understand that
    The 40 main raids weren't super punishing for 40 people unless someone screwed up "certain" mechanics, but it was designed with like 20 people in mind with 20 other people just THERE doing some stuff.
    Now it'll be changed to work with 20 people, with 20 people and if someone dies "welp better have a BR".
    it wasn't until Naxx that things started to tighten up but not by much now well people will be like "hey this stuff is gonna be harder"
    Also "multiple" difficulty's are just overall lazy design look at how much content/dungeons/raids there were in vanilla as opposed to TBC or wrath instead of there being 10 dungeons we just make 5 and make it have a heroic mode, oh 10 raids? Nah just make 3 and give them 2 difficulty's that only give you 2 additional abilities.

    If they havn't added the ability for Smite Priest to exist, then Blizzard isn't paying attention to what the community wants and therefore it will get fucked up.

    Watching current Blizzard is like watching someone who has no idea how to cook inside a kitchen with every cooking tool within arms reach. SoD is just self IP mining of previous expansion mechanics and assets with a little bit of throwing spaghetti at the wall. With zero vision it's just seems like a complete mess. OSRS is making money this way so Blizzard need to as well. Just corporate suits seeing free money.

    Love how sod went from season of discovery to season of fomo. Also they should make world buffs either class abillities like warrior or just make them craftable through engineering or alchemy. Like what if alchemist can make a really expensive cauldren that gives world buff flasks (like the cata cauldren but with world buffs) or if engineers can drop a "Beacon of Impatience" thats a little mech totem that gives everyone in an instanced area the "Warcheifs Blessing" buff. You can make it only usable in raids so it gives people a reason to get other world buffs for grinding/pvp/leveing.

    The only reason why there are daily quests is that they want to keep players active to keep the game alive in servers and on the graphs.Period
