Sharding for sure had to be in for the demo, given you are funnelling a ton of people into only two zones. It probably wont make it in the main game unless servers are overwhelmed. Well it is either that or server crashes.

They already said it will be in the game.

Phasing is in the game I TOLD YOU THIS SHIT WOULD HAPPEN

Wrong health regen rates

unlimited debuffs

summoning stones that work (summon people)

(...)

Humm....i dont know man

Unlimited debuffs would let warlocks have a more than 1 button rotation. Some things were just plain bad bud.

[Relapses]

Who didn't expect that to happen, though? Everyone had their own definition of what Classic was. There was no way people were going to be pleased with the outcome no matter what. People had already started losing their shit when they announced what Classic patch it would be based on because they wanted an even earlier version of the game...

True.

I also called it two years ago, though. :^)

I hope sharding stays around the entire time. Just to spite some of you hahahaha

How did he access? I am in WoW Classic right now and do not see that.

Almost... like it is a demo! Almost like it is backported from current game... Not like work in progress or anything... Nothing they can fix in the next 8-10months before release!!!!

"It’s just alpha"
“It’s demo only”
"It‘s still in a beta"
“It's launch issues”
"It‘s a pre-patch issues"
"It‘s first patch issues"
"It‘s not even last patch"
"Next expansion will be better"

yea right......

wtf is that

That are the fucked up parts in the Classic Demo.

[Deleted]

This is not how classic looked like. Graphically it's way too different from classic for my taste.

I wouldn't take this demo to seriously as an example of how Classic will be when it comes out. Sadly it looks like the demo wasn't really ready and they rushed it so they could sell Blizzcon tickets.

Indeed they had not els to realy show so they needet somting and yes its allot of work in progress mostly cleaning out the legion Base an turning it in a Classic peaple want and deserve so "to soon to tell"

There is a button to tern it in to the Classic Look but most streamers dont have it on

its in the game but its not bicus this is a legion base those tings ar hidden and wil not make it to the launch game they ar just menu's that they need to hide more and ther where comments about this on the forums
"This is just a remnant of some leftover UI. WoW Classic will not have Dungeon Finder/Raid Finder." Aka Lore Comminty Manager

You can use the "Classic" graphic setting. All the other things are optional. Some people prefer some of the updated graphics but you could go for the full oldschool look. I am not 100% sure, but did they implement all the spell visuals yet in the demo or do some still have to be changed?

ITT: a bunch of people think that a tiny QoL change, like "unlimited debuffs" is what will make WoW classic shitty, and not the fact that it was a shitty game by today's standards.

[Aqua]

So far: WOTLK Running Animations, New attack animations, Legion Raidframes/Readycheck/groundmarkers,!!! NEW custom +1critical hit items below 20 W.T.F. !!!, New Font, Auto Loot, New UI features such as greying out items u cant afford, !!! NEW CLASS SKILLS (SPECC SKILLS IN WEAPONSSKILLS TAB) WHAT THE ACTUAL FCK!!!, on lootoptions saying "main specc " in chat after looting

Its unfinished and they're building it from the ground up off of newer tech. For the love of all that is holy. Calm. Thy. Titties.

It will because it nerfs content.

And todays standards are fucked up. We went from thinking about MMORPGs as RPGs to thinking about them as mobile games or mobas. Wow should take inspiration from games like the Witcher 3, not clash of clans and candy crush.

Lets say the game releases mid September 2019 at worst which is already an autumn month and they promised a summer release and lets say at best Jully release.Your it is still to early doesn't sit quite well because one year is not much for any building MMO so it is NOT to early.Those are a bunch of things and i bet there are a lot more like the summoning stones and the phasing they used.When Blizzard released the demo they showed how much work they have to do if they want a proper classic experience.They have between 8 to 10 months time to recreate a lot of things from the ground up.Because they were NOT ready for the demo.So i will not hold my criticism.It is now the time to point what is wrong and to hope Blizzard create a true Classic game.

[deenman]

I swear...people who would rather stay in weeks long ques instead of having sharding for like a week or two must have something wrong with them mentaly

Don't forget that their internal builds are always ahead of what we have, even moreso during this stage of the development cycle. Some of the stuff is already really 1:1 accurate and some things clearly haven't been touched upon yet. They might have been working on some of the stuff internally already but they focussed on the demo just so you could get a small taste (e.g. talents, the Classic option graphics and spell effects) of the things to come. It seems they have the really heavy hitting done already and it's just mostly some interface and small database adjustment stuff that has to be done.

I hope you are right i really do 'mon.

[arboachg]

Relax! It's just alpha beta launch the demo!

Wouldn't you think that the game would be more or less finished and ready to go if all of these things were fixed? It's a demo they probably pulled out of their ass to incentivize Virtual Ticket sales, so chill out if you see relics from the current client (as they said they're building this version off of) in your incomplete version of Classic you're playing right now.

[Deleted]

Can confirm the phasing... I really hope it's just for this demo as otherwise that's going to ruin it for me.

I feel like everything ruins vanila for you right? how do you feel there is Auto loot where you dont have to hold shift down?

[Deficineiron]

Health regen numbers are way off, warriors regening from half hp to full in like 5-10 seconds. It should be taking like 60 seconds or longer. This allows people to chain pull in the demo.

the new rationale I am seeing for a lot of this disappointing-but-not-surprising nerf stuff is 'this is just for the demo.'

the more likely answer is 'this is how they want it to be.' they know this demo is going to be scrutinized every which way possible, and are quite capable of modifying regen rates, I assume.
