@Warcraft @wowclassicdevs Nobody wanted a starting zone disconnected from OG Azeroth. You're missing the mark on what Classic is, blending factions, not completing zones like Quel'thalas. Delay game for the sake of reassessing the feedback and start off on the right foot.
Warrior, Druid, Paladin, Shaman used in unique ways in encounters for raid. utilize the raid encounter design to account for the need for multiple tanks with different abilities. It will not diminish Warrior tanking or other tanks to remove temporary from Shaman tank. 2/2
@WarcraftDevs In the shaman update the word "temporary tank" was used several times. Why allow a half measure? the game needs more tanks, allowing for multiple tank play styles will fill a need, while still allowing them to fully tank dungeons and raids alike @wowclassicdevs 1/2
Something that has always peev'd me with WoW is the customization tbh. Their models are so simple, wouldnt it just make sense to have a vast amount of options? many more hair styles not just "oh we modeled hair for blood elves and gave it to humans also"
2/2 This also balances out the class offerings on each side. Alliance have more Paladin Options, Horde have more shaman options, but the important thing is there are at least 2 races on each side to give players a decent choice. Dwarf Mages and Troll Druids fill the gap.
@AggrendWoW These are much more suitable to the classic feel of the game. several mentions of "this is our classic+" means you need to carry through SD models for all and stay true to faction identity and not do same races on both sides. #wowforever #warcraft 1/2

* add ogres (vanilla players are happy)
* add high elves (vanilla players are happy)
* add forsaken elves within forsaken character create body selection. (asia is happy)
* unironically remove sky elves (you cant keep evergreen going without admitting and undoing mistakes)
cute blue elves look totally out of place in horde, even more than blood elves ever did. Forsaken elves would look 100 times better with the same reason for being.
They literally said "this is our classic+". At its base it must be classic, when it goes away from that, people are upset -- how is that not more clear? We were given toggle graphics as a mainline feature. the toggle looses all credibility if it only works on select
I agree but fog of war like the open world, gotta clear it and fully explore to have the full thing!

I feel like I'm losing my marbles here
Holly called it Classic + on stage.
They called SoD a test run for it.
They teased it by putting plusses on that pdf thing, then later Holly teased it by saying "All classic players have a lot to look forward to- I'll save that for later".
They referenced the Classic+ community survey in the reveal.
They invited exclusively classic streamers to come test it.
They called it a forever home for classic players. (Where do you think the Forever comes from)
They said they would develop the game in a way that honors classic.
They showed a clip on stage of Xaryu saying nobody can agree on what classic + should be.
A wow 2 even just being built on the 2004 version of the game rather than just doing it with a world revamp on retail would be odd on its own.
Guys how are some of you still coping your way into arguing this is not classic +. I have no idea what possibly could convince you at that point.

What if we added 'Classic' and 'Modern' rulesets?
Classic being closer to the traditional Classic+ experience (Not even toggles being an option etc)
Modern being closer to retail, having stuff like Shared tagging, better group exp, shared quest drops etc
Yep, this. This is one of those things that we simply must hold the line on. I think there are other things we can do to help alleviate some frustration here but shared tagging is not it.
It’s hard to see the value in something like this when you are frustrated in the moment but it is extremely important to our social pillar to maintain some of this friction.
interested but reserved because of the lack of awareness of what is classic. speaking to the double faction race that sticks out like a sore blue thumb and the fact that they arent going to be doing SD graphic additions, just toggling the older visuals only.
for every HD thing that gets added , we MUST demand an SD version. ESPECIALLY with these awful new faction blender elves.
