Bring Home the BlizzCon WoW Classic Demo With the Virtual Ticket

[Deonora]

Here I was hoping for a sweet mount and we get this shit? Should have just gotten the 6 month sub instead of this...damnit!

Who knows where the happy median is there. The rabid classic fanbois were very vocal about the textures and graphics needing to be like they were in vanilla.

I hope they do a graphics toggle. IMO they should simply update the graphics but I'm sure that would send some people into a rage.

Do not fucking buy this shit

Do not pay 50 dollars to beta test their garbage for them.

6 days to play the Classic WoW demo! Who is going to take time off work to try and level to 60 in the time of the demo?

Well, if you actually read the post you’d see it’s just the starting area for one alliance race and one Horde race.

A Demo? for a game released more than a decade ago?

Oh, my, god.

Wow, so many people upset about the goodies that Blizzard are giving out. If you spend $50 for ONLY that, then I think you have priorities wrong or don't really know what Blizzcon really is about.
I've seen every Blizzcon except last year (as I took a break from almost all of Blizzard games), and every ticket I've bought has been because I wanted to see the panels, talks and reveals. What I receive as Goodie Bag is just a _BONUS_.

I wonder, if MMO-C people bought tickets to E3, would they do it because of the panels or because they except some "OMFG GODLT GOODIES THAT I NEED BCZ THATS THE ONLY RESON I GO THERE!!!1!"?

I agree the WoW Virtual Ticket goodie is somewhat of a lackluster, but I also barely used the pets from earlier Blizzcons. Will I use Sombra skin in OW? No, I stopped play OW for a while. I'm still interested in seeing the cinematic they will show and the panels.

Then again, what else would someone expect of MMO-C comment section except a huge whine-train as usual?

^This. All of this. $50 is for the TICKET. These digital goodies are just fun bonuses they throw in to thank people who bought tickets. If you're legit angry because you don't like the free gifts they are giving you, then you've got issues and need to step away.

The guy on the right is the guy who said you think you do but you dont right?

[Sigxy]

Horrible cloaks. Nothing unique, no thanks.

Feeling the same. They should've done something way more unique - like wider ones that goes to the end of the shoulders.

Too early to see if he's right or not, it hasn't even been released yet. After a year of Classic you'll have your answer.

I hope you're not suggesting 6 days wasn't enough time to get to 60 in Vanilla. The whole "it was actually HARD to reach max level!" meme is a ridiculous exaggeration perpetuated by people who either didn't know how to efficiently level back then, didn't play at all back then, or are simply looking back at it through 10 inches of rose-colored glass.

Honestly with so many whiny babies in this post alone over the Virtual ticket, any kind of change to the game (Classic or Retail) will send some peeps into a rage.

Hope for a graphics toggle too, guess we'll see once we see the demo and more of Blizzard's viewpoints on how they see Classic from their panel. People can say "this is how Classic should be" but ultimately Blizzard determines it all.

I just want to see more of their thoughts on how Classic will be.

Classic WoW

I played for that and played that already. If I wanted it, I could always hop on one of the better private servers. But Vanilla wasn't as great as people make it out to be, was more than enough for me back in the day.

[Dead Moose Fandango]

You're not testing, this isn't beta access.

Of course not. If it were, we'd get to note what bugs need fixing. With this, it's merely playing it without having any useful input and having to deal with any and all bugs.

Really awesome perks right there, Activision.

Lol this is really unappealing, cloaks (which most people hide), banners (useless) and a DEMO? For a virtual ticket to a presentation which information will be readily available immediately as it is transmitted? Come on.

Blissard?? What is this

[Captain Busybody]

I actually like the cloaks, and banners. The lack of a pet really sucks though. Wallet protected! Better luck next time.

Depends why you buy the ticket I guess.

Generally I'm only interested in Wow stuff which tends to be promoted every other year. I'm expecting this year to be VERY quiet on wow news so was on the fence anyway. But a really good virtual thing might have tipped me over into shelling out the cash and watching the show over the weekend.

For years the rewards themselves have been pretty good - enough to make up for off-years. Not this one. I'm uninterested in the virtual stuff and don't expect to hear much wow related stuff that won't be posted on this site anyway. So... easy choice not to buy it.

[AlmightyGerkin]

50$ for a cloak wow thats pretty sad. As for Classic people may enjoy it but it will never, ever have the essence of what it used to be in 2004.
