      Y'know, albeit very small, I would guarantee that an "era" of each of the xpacs weve had so far, would harbor a consistent and committed playerbase.
      I've seen tons of RUclips comments and Reddit comments about how ppl are craving a TBC era. There's clearly an audience for it, even if small. I dont see a world where hosting a singular RPPVP for TBC Era would be a bad play.
      I'm on your side!

      That's exactly what it is. SoD is experimental. It's counterintuitive that people get upset with it because it doesn't meet expectations or introduces things that are just not fun. The complainers actually lack normal cognitive functionality because they can't comprehend its purpose.

  • @Geckomayhem

    I want the game mode where your guildies want to log in and have a good time with you. Wait, we already have that; it's called logging in to the version you prefer and playing with a close knit community. Having different versions to choose from is fine so long as you have people to play with wherever you feel like playing.

  • @jomiles3605
    @jomiles3605 3 месяца назад +5

    They’re making too many WoWs. I have this distinct memory back when Wrath classic was pretty fresh, about chats between guild members talking about rotating between retail (shadowlands) and classic. Kinda seemed like a neat niche then to have “options”. But I think most people who enjoy WoW, do so because it’s something they can sink years of time effort and grinding into building up personalized characters. With all these new mini game modes, seasonal servers, and idek what remix is, the population is 1000% getting diluted and will after a short while cause mass exits as new players lose interest as quick as they gained it

    1.) Make WoW 2 with Unreal Engine, and start with Classic.
    2.) Remove all the original quest objectives, have new objectives, but keep the original quest giver NPC's.
    3.) Have a full time invisible GM active on servers that only looks for bots, and a way to message privately to the GM where a supposed bot is so they can investigate. (Only message, no replies)
    4.) Make the UI movable.
    5.) Remove all wokeness.
    6.) Have actual class balancing, where there is a limit to how much DPS a person can do in a group, and once that is maxed, the spill over is divided to the other members of the group.
    7.) Have tokens drop from raids, and exchange them for gear at a quartermaster. No raid gear drops, just tokens, and make them random per boss with a maximum each person can get per raid. No trash loot either, have all loot obtainable by a set token price from a dungeon QM. Token's also soul bound.
    8.) Have a WoW setting where you can use a VR headset while watching the new Cinematic, being able to look 360 degrees!!!!
    9.) Cap all AH items to a maximum of twice their vendor value.

  • @corbin_4738
    @corbin_4738 3 месяца назад

    I personally enjoy Classic Hardcore myself. As a test, I think it would be interesting to open up a singular progression server of Hardcore, that way you can eventually be playing WotLK Hardcore and beyond. And if by x-expansion the active player count on the server dropped below a size, your characters would be moved back to Classic Hardcore and the server removed.

  • @YumYumturtle-ck3uw
    @YumYumturtle-ck3uw 3 месяца назад +1

    WoW SoD is so close to being a great game (possibly the best version of WoW). I think if they do make a classic + the things learned from SoD (and even retails history) should be taken heavily into consideration. 💯☮

  • @Jerubarbaruah
    @Jerubarbaruah 3 месяца назад

    I just recently got back into WoW after not playing since late 2012. Real life just got so demanding, and as much as I missed it trying to jump in after several expansions had gone by was daunting. However, I saw a lot of talk about SoD, and it got me interested enough to renew my subscription. Ultimately it wasn't for me, but since that sub also covered WotLK classic I gave that a go. I've been having a blast.
    Started playing a druid which I never touched before. On top of that I found a great guild. They want to focus on having a single strong 10 man raid team for Cata. Originally, I had been in a much less organized guild that focused on being pals. So I had a lot of good experiences, but didn't see a lot of content after WotLK. So as much as its nostalgia its also very much being able to have a second crack at something I really didn't get to fully experience. I really hope classic continues through the other expansions.
    But the only reason I have a place where I do is because a LOT of guilds fractured in the last month or two of WotLK classic. There are lot of strong opinions about what "classic" exactly is. Some people just want to experience the game up to a certain point and no further (and that point varies wildly), and then are there are those like me who want a chance to go through all the expansions as they released (more or less). I think there is room for both, and more.
    SoD or something like it feeds the craving for Classic +. Plunderstorm and MoP remix are a good introduction for new players. Seriously, MoP remix is almost exactly what you were talking about with WoW: Tutorial. Not perfect, but heads and shoulders better than whatever retail has going on right now. While each of these iterations may not directly benefit each other they allow Blizz to experiment and see what does and does not work. Ultimately, not every one of these experiences are going to be for everyone, but that is okay.

  • @Foxblinde
    @Foxblinde 3 месяца назад

    I'm in the camp that "Classic" should be a permanent set of servers including Vanilla, TBC, and WotLK. Once you hit the level cap in vanilla, you are then given the option of copying and pasting that character onto the next expansion server if you want without losing the original 60 capped character. Beyond that, if they want to do a season of discovery and/or hardcore system within classic like they have in diablo where you get to keep your character when the season finishes that's cool too. Don't care about retail. That can be its own trainwreck for as long as they want so long as they keep the classic servers untouched I'll pay the 15 a month.
    My theory however, is once they establish the original trio as the official "Classic" then when players hit the WotLK cap they'll be offered an opportunity to copy/paste into "Classic +" (and/or a Retail Path option). I imagine if you do the legacy transfer to a Classic + you'll start anew with some kind of account bound tabard or trinket that unlocks after hitting the level cap for either path and it shows you're either "Retail" legacy or "Classic" legacy and provides a boon, or if you want to start fresh you can pay for a trinket that does the same thing with a micro-transaction. Eitherway, you've paid to get the trinket whether it be leveling -subscribed- for months before starting classic+ or as a direct micro transaction. (I would love to see a special tabard for a classic legacy Hardcore character. No buff. Just a visible status symbol seared into your chest that is only earn-able via the iron price of making it to level cap in classic without dying.)
    Point is, whatever comes out of classic servers will invariably phase out or consolidate retail. I imagine they might try to do some emotional finishing arc to retail like a futurama season finale where they say, "We're going to go back and start again, and this time do it better," to give to people who care for some kind of closure for retails soap opera. And that's when Classic Plus can take over as the new retail.
    "A cosmos divided will not survive." And in this scenario, the Jailer is right. WoW has the option of dying and starting again, but this time better as it's based off the enduring foundation of "Classic" and with a more unified player base. All of the "you're a hero, champion!" nonsense can go away and you can just be some dude wandering the world again adventuring. Expansions can just be new raids, leveling zones, and smaller instances with stories attached to them that aren't focused around you at their center - oh, and you could cram whatever activist bullshit you want into a leveling instance and the best part is people will have the option of just skipping it if they don't like it. I'd like to see gear that gives more range on how you choose to play your class through set bonuses like monster hunter abilities so characters feel more custom to each player and not so much about power scaling or min-maxing stats. Obviously, metas will arise, but there's something satisfying about coming up with a homebrew based on items you find/craft and gear abilities.

    Plunderstorm and Remix both released at the end of season 3 and start of season 4 in retail when the content is recycled and people have the gear to get to 2500 in m+ within a month. Both forms of retail both lead to retail. Not really a big deal to retail players but I guess it could suck away from classic.

  • @Hunterbw93
    @Hunterbw93 3 месяца назад

    Remix will be over in 3 months and surely they will wait for a drought between retail patches before releasing another one. SoD will be over before the end of the year and they waited a bit after SoM to release it. Cata is an 8 month expansion and ill be really surprised if they go through mop after the remix. I get what youre trying to say but I think in like a year it will just be retail and classic for a while.

I played MoP when it was current from launch til WoD launch so for me to go back and do it all again was enticing at first until I logged in and realized this is just Season of Discovery with a twist. Just not interested..I am really enjoying BDO to be honest..No sub..I like the crafting in the game and even though there are some things wow does better I think over all BDO checks a lot of the boxes I want in a game.

  • @MalonzeProductionsGaming
    @MalonzeProductionsGaming 3 месяца назад

    The retail verson has fallen so low in many aspects. Classic started strong but alot of bad decisions made that a shell of what it was in the end vs how it started. No one asked for cata. And all of these random. Game modes means they are trying anything to get people to play. But all I see is lack of cohesion. Lack of understanding of the original game /s. And to many people with thier own ideas trying to input on a dying game that was great before they even though about getting a gaming degree in an overly expensive school
    What Warcraft needs is to get rid of all of these game modes. Have 2 classic modes. A no change version. And an actual vanilla + (not an Ascension lite)
    Then for retail. The story can be fixed from the complete off the rails cosmic stuff it's been doing by a large time skip. Your current characters are granted 1 free character change. You keep everything you have as an inheritance by the character who played before the timeskip. Time passes. New factions. New conflict. New WARs. The gameplay returns to its rpg roots. Return all of the original rpg mechanics. And build upon them. Transmog can stay. But classes return to the utility and non linear talent trees they used to be. Remove quest markers. Remove the amount of bloated quests and just have a smaller number of detailed quests (osrs style) have tons of interactive items in the world. Ever green smaller optional content. Like Brawler guild. Farm, player house, dragon raising (which we've had 2 times so maybe another creature)
    Make professions more emmersive and I depth (like pandaria cooking but better) rather than convoluted UI systems that make it more bloated and unnecessary (what we have now)
    World pvp that affect certain zones. Like winter grasp but instead of times, it's ever going. Repair stations. Destroy stations. Gather resources to bolster your forces. Ect.
    So many things that can be done to make this a fun game again. Return to roots but also be fresh
    But as it stands all we have is the same rinse and repeat gameplay. Watered down older systems. Convoluted new systems. And A lovey lovey friendship wins story.

    That feel when J Allen Brack was right... We thought we wanted classic, but we didn't. In all seriousness, I really think Blizzard should ramp down classic and I think SOD/Classic+ is a good way to show to players that the vast majority didn't want an old game, what they wanted was memorable experiences, which in their minds and hearts were tied to vanilla/classic.
    Here's how I would do this:
    1. Cata classic is the last classic expansion to be released. The classic team does their best to make this expansion feel as good as it can, given all the negative attention surrounding it. It's not gonna be a smash hit, but it doesn't need to, as long as it scratches the itch that players have for the cataclysm experience.
    2. As the cataclysm shitstorm stabilizes with bug fixes/patches, more of the classic team is able to focus on making SOD better, and deliver the last few phases of SoD content, which includes all the level 60 raids, any new raids/areas they teased originally like karazhan crypts and something for Uldum. This is a dicey proposition because SoD is canon and has to fit in with all the stuff that came after, so I don't know how they can port Uldum (from Cata) to the Classic game client...
    3. SoD comes to an end, and there is no Classic+ with proper "realms", per se.
    4. Classic+ is an ongoing seasonal thing where the retail team builds new game modes like plunderstorm, remix, etc. that are centered around classic stuff. Imagine Remix: Dire Maul, which is a 90 day game mode (like MoP remix) where you can play a re-imagined/re-mastered version of Feralas in an accelerated game mode. These are mini seasons, smaller than expansions, with limited impact on the overall game. The devs won't need to frantically balance all classes, all specs across multiple play scenarios (pvp, dungeons, raids, solo, questing, farming, crafting, etc). Just like the cloak thing with MOP remix, they have more freedom to make design choices, and if those things backfire, the "sacred" integrity of the main game isn't ruined.
    5. Ideas for these classic+ modes can be mined from the original design docs, maps, art etc. They can also take inspiration from other places. Imagine a warcraft game mode where you build a massively overpowered character and blast monsters like in a diablo-style ARPG, but it's within the warcraft game client.
    6. Some of the more popular ideas can find their way into the proper retail mode, either as game systems, or turned into full expansions etc. Maybe they can even become standalone games that aren't tied to a wow subscription.
