TBC was superior to Classic

[Voidwielder]

The expected TBC servers is why I am leveling in Classic at the moment - I love it, it's a great designed game but TBC was an overall improvement.

[vsb]

> They fixed pvp where rewards were attainable by all, not just nolifers.

That's not an improvement.

> Real world pvp was added with tower defense. Not just stv ganking.

That's not an improvement. I want brainless PvP, not some stupid targets.

> They added lfg

It's available as an addon, not a big deal.

> They fixed classes and specs. Paladins could dps and tank finally.

That's not an improvement. I'm warrior tank and I want to keep my class exclusivity. I'm not healing, why paladins should tank?

> Added arena fun.

Arenas were in Classic and much more fun.

> Added better rep rewards

I doubt that. There was nothing comparable to Winterspring Frostsaber in the game since release.

> Interesting zones

Not really. Space fantasy is not fitting with Warcraft.

> Heroic challenging dungeons and raids

Yeah, lazy rehashing of existing dungeons. And I did not ask for challenging content. That's not an improvement. I want easy approachable content rather than elitism cultivation.

> Added new races

Those were the most stupid races ever. Space goats? Elves in Horde? It's nonsense even in 2019.

Wait, we’re not allowed to enjoy winning 1v5s anymore? Yes, my rogue did feel like a god when he soloed 5 people in tbc.

I meant him being the 5.

[avitush]

if blizz release a tbc, soon we will have posts of wotlk > bc

until we get to retail, lmao

Yeah, I kinda wonder how far that would go. I could see Wrath for sure (it was the most popular expansion in terms of subscriptions, after all) but am not sure how excited people would get for expansions beyond it.

"We want WoD servers! Make it happen, Blizzard!!" said no one ever

[Thelyron]

TBC was solid but behind BFA and WoD in terms of overall quality.


WoD>BFA>Cata>Legion>MoP>TBC>Wotlk

This is, without question, the worst case of irredeemably shit taste i have ever witnessed. Are you even human?

OT: The game was garbage in general until wrath.

[mostvp71]

> Added arena fun.

Arenas were in Classic and much more fun.

Uhh no they weren’t, gurubashi arena was not “arenas”.

[Jurwi]

Did you really make a new account just for this?

Probably already got his main account banned for trolling the Classic forum. :P

[ParanoiD84]

BC was the best imo, vanilla was more of a test that they perfected in bc. Wrath was also very good then it went downhill from there.

Outland was also the best leveling experience with awesome zones. Also enjoyed arena way more back then then how it is today.

Also in pretty much every poll on the best expansion bc or wrath wins.

[Gorgodeus]

That’s pretty opinionated, especially being arenas have been the biggest focus for PvP since TBC.

I’m sorry they take skill and knowledge to play unlike massing people in a 40v40 lag fest and spamming AoE.

See what I did there?

A Blizzard Vice President once said in an interview that the 2nd worst mistake Blizzard ever made in WoW was the introduction of Arenas.

[ButterBeast]

that is very common knowledge OP.

[Dezminion]

LFG came with wotlk my dude...not TBC

plus was only oon wotlk that blizz finally removed he hibrid tax bullshit

but this is funny thou

if blizz release a tbc, soon we will have posts of wotlk > bc

until we get to retail, lmao

LFG is short term for Looking for Group, which simply implies that one is looking for a group. Groups are usually put together to tackle tasks that would be impossible to solo - many quests recommend more than one player to complete and instances are notorious group activity.

With The Burning Crusade, Blizzard added a LFG tool. This allow the players to put themselves in LFG mode, where you can select what you're looking to do, so that other like minded players can find you. Using the LFG tool also gives you access to the LFG channel, which is a global channel that allow for better communication and coordination.

Close associated is the expression LFM, short for Looking for More - used over the LFG channel mostly. It's a pretty flexible expression that is used to convey that you are looking for more players, i.e 'LF2M' would means you are looking for 2 more players.

followed by new cries for classic 2.

[Ange]

TBC was perfect in every way

=> caster blue gear was better for many months as epic drops

=> crafting gear outlasted multiple tier of gear for some specs

=> flying destroyed WPVP and players were used to WPVP

=> attunaments for attunaments for attunaments was a fun thing for raiding casuals and seasonal players

=> a hard or easy raiding tier was decided by the amount of shadow priest mana batteries you had for your raid. No shadow priest, welcome to hardmode!

[Aeula]

Blood Elves, class balancing, Horde Paladins/Alliance Shamans, actual endgame content outside of raids, time required to level toned down and several new quests and zones added to the old world to smooth out the experience. Yeah, TBC was pretty damn great compared to Classic.

[Drench]

No.

I play WoW for large scale PvP. Arena never had a place in WoW. Things like ratings and stuff should never have been implemented. It does nothing but make people unhappy. Plus, Arena just means people wait to see what the best flavor of the month miniteam is and then they stack that all day to win. Plus arenas creates the stupid carry economy.

All of it is dumb. Get rid of arena completely and the awful systems that support. Make it about killing people in large numbers again like it should be.

Only reason I and about 90% of my buddies played past wotlk was arena.

It's a huge part of the game.

[XDurionX]

Everything was superior to classic (yes, even WoD).

[DarkAmbient]

I'm hoping for TBC servers but I doubt they'd announce them at this year's Blizzcon.

[Khaza-R]

Yeah, I kinda wonder how far that would go. I could see Wrath for sure (it was the most popular expansion in terms of subscriptions, after all) but am not sure how excited people would get for expansions beyond it.

"We want WoD servers! Make it happen, Blizzard!!" said no one ever

I doubt they ever do Cataclysm servers or beyond.

Not unless they were going to do something wild like release Cataclysm with all shit they ended up cutting from the endgame.

[kingpinuk880]

TBC is my favourite aswell. Core gameplay is basically classic but now you can legitimately play all the classes. That’s the only thing that annoy me about classic, you can realistically only play half of the specs

[Dangg]

> They fixed classes and specs. Paladins could dps and tank finally.

That's not an improvement. I'm warrior tank and I want to keep my class exclusivity. I'm not healing, why paladins should tank?

Because it's a hybrid class?
