Urgh, the interviewer really should have looked into his own voice volume, I don't like to complain about accents (I've got pretty thick one myself) but that combined with very low volume and I have to guess what he is asking from Stockton.
This is what I'm hoping for. Dragon Soul popped my raiding cherry, so I've never been able to experience old content in the way it was designed.
I would love to have scaling in old raids. It would give my guild something better to do on our optional Sunday raids rather than having to say, "Well, we're not pugging 4 for ToT, so we're doing a ToES alt run."
Even if there's no aesthetic or practical rewards, it would still be immensely fun to do.
While I feel like I'm already mostly done with 5.2, (PvE-wise anyway) I do feel releasing 5.4 before Q4 (or very late Q3) would be too early.
Sure the huge gaps in the past (looking at ICC and DS mostly) have been a bit too long for comfort, but at this rate I'm starting to think it may be a slightly too fast.
The feature -
Wishing - we get scaled down for old raids.
A fear that just came to me - Pet battle arena with rankings and rewards like the real arena?!
Keep in mind stats like mastery didn't exist until cata. And mastery is the reason level 80s were able to solo level 80 and level 90 content. Also, hunters don't use mana anymore and armor pen is gone as well as a massive list of other buffs and debuffs. And I don't think it would be simple to remove mastery on all pre-85 raids as specs that stack mastery, like arcane mages, would be completely useless.
If this is the new feature they plan to release I think it will be pointless because the old raids with the current class mechanics will never give the feeling that the game had in previous iterations. And at that point you might as well just solo it at 90.
Also, saying this will be just as good as legacy realms is like saying megablocks are just as good as lego. No it fucking isn't.
New feature will be 1 huge daily hub, where you can (if you want) pick up every daily quest available in the game (old and new) and there will be portals to every continent where the daily quests are, there and back
..Lol. Oh man, the smell of rotten fish is going to be heavy in the air if people cant solo the older raids for fun. People are going to want his blood and removal from the game, on levels he's never seen before if this is non-opt-out. This instead of new character models? He must just want WoW to die a horrible death. People use Old Raids for Tmog runs. Remove the inability to raid it solo and people will NOT raid them. But I suppose he wants all the classic stuff to be trashed before he's trashed for turning a multi-million dollar game into a sub-par Shrimp-Boat.
