It would be fun if WoW classic splintered off into a different direction via subtle shift. Like if the Gilnean wall came down before Burning Crusade and the new races were Blood Elf and Worgen instead of Blood Elf and Draenei...

Anything would be more interesting than what we see in the retail non-classic at this point.

And that's why you won't see this. Or anything else.

First, no one at Blizzard is going to try anything with Classic. They're going to release TBC as it was and LK as it was, and that's it.

Second, this is Activision "Where are my recurring microtransactions" Blizzard we're talking about. If it doesn't involve Game as A Premium Service, they don't want to invest in it.

I don't disagree with you but also there are people on this forum are still saying the war campaign shit/story in BFA made no sense when literally all you had to do is read quests/talk to npcs or even pay attention to dialogue so even if those entire novels were in the game as anything other than a cinematic it wouldn't make any sort of a difference really

Not arguing with you, I just dont understand why you feel as though this is acceptable? Ill break away from the part that even I agree with, in that novels are the true explanation of the game and go down your road for a minute.

Was your reply acceptable in MMO's in 2004 when this game came out? Sure. But as the game has grown over the last 15 years, it has grown into a single player game with a multiplayer presence. But the last time I played a single player game that encouraged me to read each and every quest to understand the story was years ago. WoW even goes so far as to highlight certain quests, such as "Legendary" quests so you would know to pay more attention to those quests. But you're telling me, to understand the story, that I need to go against the grain of what they have trained players to do for years and pay attention to those collection, kill and escort quests?

I mean, I guess I really have just kind of grown disappointed in that the game has made Blizzard an ungodly amount of money and it seems as though very little has went back into the game.

Enjoy grinding your Heart of Azeroth shit on top of your new time gated Legendary and time gated dailies made up to look like spooky mind altering Nzoth shit. Scary.

I mean, they're literally making the Delve league mechanic from Path of Exile which was my favorite (and a lot of other peoples favorite) because it's a flat 1:1 progression on how far you can push yourself.

It's a very good, and much needed new mechanic that they're adding to the game.

The black empire being self contained to a single raid is quite something.

Yea kind of anti climatic in a way right? Was hoping for a Cata 2.0 Black Empire themed expansion.

I guess the biggest thing I'm looking forward to in this patch is what it's going to lead too. Thank god I don't have to play it to figure that out.

8.3 looks like shit

We have been listening to your feedback and heard that you loved island expeditions; so we are making more scenarios, but this time, you can solo them, or have a full group. It will be totally different because you will have to collect *patch 8.3 currency* instead of azurite, and it will scale perfectly, yet be a challenge, just like the mage tower, we swear...

There isn't even a new quest zone. We have to catch invasions in reskined Uldum and Vale, and then go to a reskined Stormwind and Orgrimmar scenario? Fuck off

The only AH change I would be excited about, was if they merged them into one region wide AH.

I don't know how you took island expeditions out of that whatsoever to be honest.

& I don't want a new quest zone. We have 400 thousand zones that we haven't used in 10 years, it's time to start utilizing them to make the world feel like the world.

I enjoyed the Withered Army Training and the Chromie Deaths "self-improvement progression" scenarios, even if they were tuned more towards derps than say, the mage tower. So I look forward to these "visions."

Was kind of hoping 8.3 wouldn't have anything interesting looking so that I could use my raid group disbanding as an excuse to quit WoW, but hey guess it's time to go serverhopping. Mechagnomes being their own Oven/Forge/Anvil is hilarious.
