Changes

[Tart]

Knew they would over tinker and fuck this up.

[alturic]

Its still early, they even said in the blog post they had a lot of work left to do. I am a bit disappointed about the progress they have made in over a year (they have been working on this since before 2017 blizzcon) but what do you do?

So you dont think summer ‘19 is acceptable? Hell if that’s your only gripe, the fact its not further progressed than you wanted, this abomination of “classic” WoW is perfect for you.

Level 17 isn't hard. Was level 16 within 30 minutes of just killing mobs. Things are sped up in the demo some so they get more testing

REEeee to the changes

Im still calm because i still believe all this will be removed...the phasing though...i knew it.

[dragnipur]

I think people are freaking out a tad early, small things aside - it's a fine shot at classic experience. People have their panties in a twist about summoning stone and text... lol.

It's not to early at all.It is releasing very soon.Summer 2019.It is the right time to panic.

Hmm maybe it was just the mobs people were killing in horde zones, ill have to go check out an ally stream too.

Keep in mind that people start at 15 and mobs around crossroads are 11-13, so yes, they die quite easily.

[Tekkommo]

Same here.

I actually dont mind meeting stones are working...but makes me scared to what other changes might come.
And the phasing? Man i really hate phasing

Sharding is indeed a huge turnoff.

I'll remain positive and think this could be their in game group finder, like how M+ works. I won't have a problem with that as I'd just use an addon like vQueue.

Or that it's just not been removed yet due to oversight.

It says "Requires level 85" so as long as vanilla keeps the cap at 60 it should be fine!

Probably a client command that they haven't pulled out yet. They aren't going to have random-assembled raid groups in vanilla.

If blizzard fails to provide an authentic classic experience then you’re going to see a lot of people play private servers. There is a particular project based in EU and Russia that couldn’t care less about threats from a western company. Heck, i’ll get to play with my European friends if that happens. I can’t see blizzard fucking this up, it would make zero sense and little dollars.

No one is mentioning this but gear comparison is also in game, and its the same as in BfA. In my case I made a paladin using a 2hand weapon and on my bag I had a 1hand sword and a shield , when you shift-click on the sword it shows the comparison with my 2h but it also shows the comparison WITH the shield, a pretty cool mechanic that is on BfA but it wasnt in the older versions. Nothing bad to me, it's great!

Bear in mind this is just a DEMO, wait until they officially announce these things before we freak out.

Giving that you can see the Scenario tab and theres no such thing in vanilla, I'm gonna hope that its just a UI part they forgot to remove from the game.

Yeah my thoughts exactly.

This are all things they forgot to remove from the client.

No need to panic...yet

[owbu]

Guess they should have done a better job communicating which features are intended to stay and which features are just still in the build, because they haven't gotten around to remove them yet.
(reminder: this is a modern wow build that got a vanilla face lift, so stuff being there doesn't mean somebody put it in, it just means that it might or might not stay)


My guess is that the /lfr is a case of "oops..forgot to take that out" and the phasing is necessary for the demo and will get removed afterwards. When the game goes live you have people spread all over the world pretty quickly. In the demo literally everyone is in one of two places. That's my hope at least^^

[Why Am I Here]

I'm assuming the sharding is a thing they are using to keep the demo actually operable. I don't think any of the QoL things are an issue. It's not super hard core having to manually compare to items or manually loot. And a lot of the interface stuff looks like carry overs from current WoW because they probably don't have a perfect copy of classic lying around.

[Tomana]

I'll be pissed if sharding is a thing though.

Sharding and/or dynamic respawns will 100% be a thing, simply because of the launch. If you stick to "classic" servers, you either launch with a lot of server and watch some of them die, or launch with too few and watch people queue for some mobs for hours. So they'll totally add dynamic instances of zones.
